Ahead of our regular fortnightly Saturday Skirmish event on Saturday 13th July June at 19:00 UTC+1 we have made changes to two maps based on feedback from the event two weeks ago and re-designed the way AFK players are handled. The new system prevents AFK players from slowing the progress of the game and handles players who are briefly AFK more fairly.
Join us for in-game for this and for future events, which run every other weekend.
You can sign-up for events, get notified of new events and discuss the changes with the team at discord.gg/vanguardww2.
Summary of Changes:
Updated: Handling of AFK players
Lion-sur-Mer
Fixed: Prevented spawn camping of British spawn area
Merville Battery
Fixed: Fixed objective being capturable through wall in Chateau gardens
Known Issues
Rare bug where objective capture can continue after player dies. Press F to cancel after being killed. We are actively investigating this issue and we have made changes in this update to make it easier to track down the cause.
