Original postKnights,
We’ve cherished the epic journey that we’ve taken with all of you over the past few years.
With Chivalry 2, we set out to make the ultimate medieval battlefield game: an unparalleled multiplayer experience that realized our dream of being a warrior on the fields of battle, inspired by classic medieval movie scenes and old tales of glory from history.
When the game launched, we pledged to at least double the size of Chivalry 2 post-launch by adding new maps, modes, weapons, features, and experiences to ensure we had delivered a strong and lasting vision of the ultimate medieval battlefield game.
We’ve chronicled all of our post-launch support at chivalry2.com/roadmap and feel that, after over three years of support, we have more than accomplished our goal by significantly increasing the game’s content, features, and quality beyond the initial target.
In March, we released Duel of the Fêtes, the 10th major content update for Chivalry 2, which added requested features like Unofficial Servers and Skill Based Team Balance alongside new maps, cosmetics, and more.
Over the course of the game’s schedule of updates, we’re proud to have brought players an array of content and features since the game launched, including a massive boost to the number of Team Objective maps (increasing the count from 5 to 13), adding mounted combat, a Last Team Standing mode as well as new rotating modes like Brawl and Mounted Arena, the Tenosian faction, hundreds of new armory items, 8 new weapons, major new progression features, and much, much more.
As the game's 11th and final content piece, released in May, the Regicide Update revealed to players the narrative conclusion of Chivalry 2’s war between Argon II and Malric. This update included one of our proudest creations to date, the cinematic Team Objective map “Citadel” - which pits the two kings against each other for a final duel that makes a fitting end to an epic saga.
With the Regicide Update we consider the game to be content and feature complete.
Though every story comes to an end, we know many players will be disappointed by the news - but this isn’t the end for the Chivalry franchise.
With this final content update delivered to players, we’re excited to focus our efforts and resources on compelling new multiplayer projects, both in the Chivalry universe as well as within terrifying new co-op territory. We’ve been building our team in number and skillset to take on these following challenges, with a focused effort to ensure that when the next Chivalry title is released, it will utterly blow players away.
This isn’t the end for Chivalry 2, either—the game will continue to be supported for maintenance of any critical issues affecting the player base. Online services like official servers, unofficial servers, and matchmaking will continue to be available to players.
We want to thank our incredible community of players for helping to make Chivalry 2 the success that it’s been. We’ll see you on the battlefield!

Original postGood morrow, knights! A minor hotfix (2.11.1) has been released with Regicide at Trayan Citadel balance changes, bug fixes, and more!
Balance Changes - Regicide at Trayan Citadel
Fuse Stage
- Fuse Timer decreased from 30 seconds down to 25 seconds
- Reduced delay in Agathian spawn positioning change during the second phase of placing powder kegs
VIP vs VIP Stage
- Increased the possible final timer by 3 minutes
- Fixed bug that caused Argon's health to be slightly less than intended
- Reduced the spawn delay for Agathian troops by 1 second
Dev Notes:
We’ve loved hearing all the reception and feedback towards Trayan Citadel! We’re so glad our community has been enjoying the spectacle of the new map.
Although we love that Argon's final push to avenge his father was reflected in this difficulty for attackers, after monitoring matches and feedback since the release, we believe Argon and his troops need a little assistance, particularly in the later half of the map. Do not worry, defenders, as plenty of opportunities remain to hold back the Agathians and protect Malric from these unjust invaders.General
- Updated Server and Client backend
- Made improvements to help prevent the “Party Creation failed” error
- Fixed a bug that incorrectly showed the amount of XP earned during boosted XP times
- Fixed a bug that would time out party members if the party host switched matches too quickly
- Fixed a bug that removed platform icons on the scoreboard after the first match
- Fixed a bug that could cause occasional client physics hitching
- Updated EOS protections
- Implemented multiple crash fixes for Servers and Clients
Combat
- Fixed a bug that allowed the spoon item stab attack, found on Trayan Citadel, to be used repeatedly too quickly
Customization
- Fixed a bug that played Mason voice lines when using the Rebel Voice as an Agathian
- Although they are a "Rebel" we believe praising the enemy commander would have been going just a little too far
- Fixed the name on the previous “Templar Visorless Helmet,” as it did indeed include a visor
- Fixed a bug showing the “Painted Maiden Helmet Featherless” as a purchasable cosmetic with gold, where it should only be earnable through the Regicide Campaign Pass
Map
- Fixed an issue that could allow a player to access the enemy VIP spawn on Citadel earlier than intended
- Fixed a rare bug that could prevent a VIP from spawning on Citadel
- Fixed a bug that prevented the spikes on Duel Yard from dealing damage to players
- Fixed a potential crash that could occur on Duel Yard
Unofficial Servers
- Improved server command protections
- Fixed a bug that could kick players out of the match when traveling between maps
- Added visual ban list on Nitrado interface
- Fixed a case where XP and gold weren’t being correctly awarded on unofficial servers
Console/Gamepad
- Fixed a bug that prevented a ballista from being fired again if the Arrow Cam was used in the previous shot
Additional Notes:
Due to the nature of this Hotfix, PC Players will experience a larger-than-average download size when prompted to re-download the game for proper Hotfix installation.In addition to today's Hotfix notes, we've released a new blog about the future of Chivalry 2.

ONCE MORE, LEGENDS WILL BE BORN
After many months of warfare, King Argon II and the allied Agathian noble houses make one final push to breach the walls of Trayan Citadel, the heart of Vantear and the Mason Order. However, Malric Terrowin will not stand for such insolence. Through fire, ash, and bloodshed, the kingdom shall finally decide…
“Who will sit upon the throne?”
New Team Objective Map - “Regicide at Trayan Citadel”
Agathians rally around their final hope in breaching the city walls: their battle ram of war called “The Lion’s Thrust.” In order to safely escort the ram, Agathians must retake the outer encampment from the Masons and regain the frontline strength. Should they breach the walls, the Agathian army must continue and blast their way to Malric’s castle through the Citadel, complete with a dreadful volcano (though some of the details, as told by tavern bards in the past, were highly exaggerated). The final stage will evoke Malric’s wrath, bringing him to the field of battle in a face-off against Argon II, leader of the Agathian Knights. Players must then fight and defend their king. Only one shall have claim to the kingdom!
New Weapon - “Goedendag”
A brutal weapon for a brutal age. Adding to the Poleman and Engineer’s subclass arsenal, the Goedendag is the shortest polearm of them all but the strongest and most versatile in damage output. While its slashes and overheads deal blunt damage, its stabs deal pierce damage, allowing the weapon to deal maximum damage to multiple class armour types. Be mindful of your attacks depending on the kind of opponent you are facing! In addition, this weapon’s special attack does massive damage against horses, stopping them in their tracks with a successfully timed blow. Take note of your swings during heavy attacks, as they are noticeably slower in comparison to your normal attacks.

Dev Notes: Since the release of Unofficial Servers with Update 2.10, we’ve been working closely with our Nitrado partners to determine how to enhance this new feature. So far, improvements have been performance issues adjustments, potential bug fixes, adding new Admin options, and implementing Nitrado Steelshield. (An added layer of protection against DDOS attacks)
We’ve also been monitoring the community feedback around the lack of Gold/XP earned within Unofficial Servers and how this difference could make playing within an Unofficial Server less appealing, especially to newer players. As of Update 2.11, Gold and XP gains will be enabled across all Unofficial Servers. We still reserve the right to make adjustments and take action if we see that the improper gain or boosting of Gold/XP becomes popular. Still, we believe that a majority of servers will not abuse this added feature; instead, it will help bolster and highlight the excellent Unofficial Servers that users have been able to create.

Developer postChivalry 2 Hotfix 2.10.2
Good morrow, knights! A minor hotfix (2.10.2) has been released with new anti-cheat protections. General Updated anti-cheat security on all platforms. As our 2.10.1 Hotfix notes mentioned, our team has been working hard on this next stage of anti-cheat protection for Chivalry 2.
Original postGood morrow, knights! A minor hotfix (2.10.2) has been released with new anti-cheat protections.
General
- Updated anti-cheat security on all platforms.
As our 2.10.1 Hotfix notes mentioned, our team has been working hard on this next stage of anti-cheat protection for Chivalry 2. This security update will help stop users who have been bypassing our anti-cheat protections and add further tools our moderation team can use to address cheaters and their multiple accounts.
We believe this security update will help curb the use of cheats within Chivalry 2, although we know there may still be outliers that bypass even the new protection. Not to worry; our staff and moderation team will be on hand working hard to address any future tickets and reports regarding cheaters.
If you believe you have encountered a user in-game who may be cheating, here are some steps to report them.
How to report a suspected cheater:
In-Game Reporting:
- Open the in-game scoreboard.
- Xbox Button: Menu Button > Scoreboard
- PS Button: Start Button > Scoreboard
- PC Key: TAB
- Navigate the scoreboard till you find the offending user.
- Select the user and use the "Report" option.
ChivMail Reporting:- To Access the ChivMail bot you'll need to join our Official Discord.
- ChivMail can be found on the top right of the User List once you've entered the Discord.
- Use either a screen capping software or an HD mobile device to capture video of the suspected user.
- Attach this video in a message to the ChivMail Bot on Discord in addition to the suspected user's in-game username.
- Videos should be around 30 seconds long and clearly show the suspected user using in-game cheats if possible. (If the video is too large for Discord, it can be uploaded unlisted onto a streaming platform like Youtube)
- This will start a ticket on the topic that our moderators can respond to if additional information is needed.
- Additional Step for EGS / Steam Users - Acquire the user's PlayerID:
- Open the console by pressing ( ~ ) or ( NUMPAD - ) (If your console does not open, you may have to "Enable developer console" in GAME SETTINGS) (Rebindable in the setting if necessary)
- Type the command "listplayers" and hit ENTER (This copies the player list to your clipboard)
- Open any Word processing application (Notepad, Microsoft Word, etc) and press CTRL + V to paste the player list.
- Find the offending player's name and ID # and include them in your ChivMail report. (For example - Username - 12AB34CD56EF78GH)
Patch Troubleshooting:
For any users receiving the "Easy Anti-Cheat is not installed." Launch Error: please attempt to validate your game files.

Original postGood morrow, knights! A minor hotfix (2.10.1) has been released with crucial bug fixes.
General
- Fixed a bug that caused a player to be disconnected from a server when spawning at particular points on the Duelyard map.
- Fixed a bug with the skill-based team balance feature that did not correctly allocate players between attack and defense.
- Fixed a bug that prevented some players from being banned correctly from Unofficial Servers.
Now that the skill-based team balancing feature has been fixed, it will also be re-enabled for all platforms once this Hotfix has gone live. Although this Hotfix was smaller, we wanted to address these more pressing bugs first while our team continues to work on fixes for our other known issues.
We have also contributed significant time towards further testing the next layer of anti-cheat we mentioned in our Community Blog.
While we test this next stage in the fight against cheaters, we will continue to act against those who bypass our protections to cheat within Chivalry, promote cheats, encourage the use of cheats to others, or break our Code of Conduct in any additional ways.
Developer postChivalry 2 Unofficial Servers FAQ – Follow up

Original postToday, we wanted to address more frequently asked questions regarding the newly added Unofficial Servers with Nitrado to keep players in the loop as we work on improvements.
Torn Banner Studios and Nitrado are dedicated to making Unofficial Servers the best experience possible for the Chivalry 2 Player Base.
Why is my server having unstable performance?
- Since the release of Unofficial Servers, we’ve been tracking the community response very closely. After observing many reports and matches, it’s clear that small matches are performing nicely. Yet, as the scale of participating players increases, the server’s performance decreases for all involved. We understand that this performance degradation has made genuine 64-player matches difficult, and the issues have disproportionately affected those spending the most to host a server. We hear you and are working hand in hand with Nitrado to resolve these problems as soon as possible.
Why don’t Unofficial Servers offer Gold or XP?
- At launch, we chose not to have Unofficial Servers provide Gold or XP as the potential for server hosts and players to abuse the system was relatively high. We want Gold, especially XP, to signify your time and dedication to Chivalry 2. Our team is looking into how we can prevent this potential abuse and at the opportunity of bringing Gold and XP to Unofficial Servers in some capacity in the future.
Why are all servers capped at 1GB of RAM?
- Per Nitrado, The visual presentation of RAM usage is dynamic and covers the upper range of the graph. The RAM limit is not capped at 1GB. The game server gets as much RAM as needed. The hard limit is beyond the scope of what a Chivalry 2 server will ever require to guarantee the quality of the game experience for all customers.
How was the pricing for Unofficial Servers determined?
- Initial prices for Unofficial Servers were set with the guidance of Nitrado and the resources needed to support up to 64 players on a single server. We’ll be working with Nitrado to see if the opportunity to offer future sales is possible.
Were Unofficial Servers stress-tested before launch?
- Yes, Unofficial Servers were stress-tested before launch. Although we did all we could internally, it wasn’t feasible for us to match the scale that has been able to be achieved once the feature went live to the public player base. A larger scale has revealed specific bugs and problems we are working to improve.
What protections are available around DDOS attacks?
- Our first FAQ states that Nitrado servers all come with basic DDOS protections. We’ve already implemented an extra layer on top of the basic DDOS Protections and are continuing to explore additional server protections. These are expected after Update 2.10 since they will take longer to implement on the development side.
Will Torn Banner work with other server providers for Unofficial Servers?
- Both Torn Banner Studios and Nitrado are dedicated to improving the Unofficial Server experience with the help of players and their feedback. At this time, we don’t plan to host Unofficial Chivalry 2 servers through partners other than Nitrado.
Why can’t we rent a US Central server?
- Currently, US Central is not a region that Nitrado natively supports. At the moment, Nitrado has yet to share any plans to add US Central servers, but we have passed on the community feedback that US Central servers would be appreciated. We have been and continue to communicate with them regarding this request.
Why can’t we skip maps in Unofficial Servers?
- Our primary command to skip maps has some instability tied to it that we are currently looking into. Therefore, we are exploring alternate commands to make available to server admins that could fill a similar role while we work on improving the stability of the primary command. We’ll let the community know through our Official Social channels if additional commands become available.
Can we get the opportunity to purchase a higher tick-rate server?
- Complete confidence in a tick rate change option would require game-wide testing on all modes, maps, and all possible player counts. With community concerns already around server stability, we consider this outside of scope at this time.
Why are TO objectives set at 10 minutes for each phase by default?
- We didn’t have an opportunity to complete the review of all stage times across all maps before the release of unofficial servers, as most of the time dedicated to this feature was devoted to adding it as an option. When time permits, we’ll look to set up default times in the Nitrado web interface. In the meantime, this information is available via our FAQ.
Known Bugs around Unofficial Servers we are investigating:
- Servers showing capped at 1GB Ram
- Inability to kick/ban some users
- Man At Arms spawning without primary weapons in LTS
We’d also like to assure players that we continue working on resolutions for many of the known bugs we announced after the release of Update 2.10. We’ll be sure to let players know right away once we have a Hotfix on its way!

Want to know more? Check out our Unofficial Server FAQ!
With the release of unofficial servers, our standalone duel servers will become social spaces. It will be up to the players how they use these spaces, therefore we will no longer be actively moderating for “RDM” (Random Death Match Instances i.e. attacking players randomly like you would in the free-for-all gamemode). Players must still however comply with our Code of Conduct and ToS.
New Major Feature - Skill Based Team Balancing
Teams will now balance players with an algorithm derived from global rank before the start of a given match. Once balanced, players will be unable to switch teams unless in the event of unbalanced player counts or when switched automatically by the game to maintain team balancing parameters.
The following modes will have Skill Based Team Balancing enabled:
- 64 Player Team Objective (Matchmaking Queue)
- 40 Player Mixed Modes (Matchmaking Queue)
- Last Team Standing (Limited Time Queue and Standalone Servers)
This feature is currently not available for 3v3 Arena and Unofficial Servers, but we are exploring the option to add it in the future.
Additional Notes:
This feature was designed to help balance the start of a match, while still maintaining tight restrictions post-balancing around team size discrepancies. It behaves differently than a Skill Based Matchmaking system that would create entire lobbies of similarly skilled players ultimately requiring a much larger scope of work and introducing more risk. Due to the size of most of our lobbies, it made more sense for us to apply the balancing within the match itself.Just before a match begins after all players have loaded in, the server will perform a shuffle taking into consideration players' global ranks as well as their premade parties before assigning them a team. The system is built to prioritize parties staying together. The balance algorithm in use is not solely trying to achieve a 1:1 balance according to global rank.
After the shuffle is complete, teams must not create an imbalance of more than 1 player at any one time, or Team Switching will be restricted. For example: if there are two teams of 16 players and one player in spectate, that player can swap to either team as the new numbers would be 17 vs 16 (an imbalance of 1). But if there is a team of 17 and a team of 16, the player in spectate will be unable to swap to the team of 17, as that would create 18 vs 16 (an imbalance of 2).
Both 64 and 40-player matches in the server browser remain unaffected by this new feature as they are currently treated as a more social space for playing Team Objective and Team Deathmatch.
New Feature - Region Selection
Players will now have the option to select their Matchmaking region of preference. This option is available in the Game Options menu.
The following selections are available:
- North America West
- North America Central
- North America East
- South America West
- West Europe
- London
- Paris
- East Oceania
- East Asia
- South Korea
- Japan
Please note that matchmaking search time and latency may be impacted depending on the region selected.

Combat
Blocking
- Adjusted backstab angle checks to be more consistent
- Certain perks like that backstab perk on Ambusher would not grant its bonus reliably. This led to an opportunity to improve the back hit detection in combat, making it more consistent in receiving the bonus for the class and to reward skillful footwork and swing manipulation in general.
Counters- Fixed an issue where countering a projectile after a world hit would result in automatically throwing your weapon
Dismemberment
- Fixed an issue where chopped heads would have default customization on current gen systems
- Fixed chopped head physics not activating properly on current gen systems

Developer postChivalry 2 - Unofficial Servers FAQ

Original postWith the recent announcement of Unofficial Servers coming with Update 2.10, we wanted to take some time to go over some frequently asked questions regarding Unofficial servers and the creativity they could entail, but also the limitation included with their implementation.
What can I name my server?
We would like you to name your server whatever you like! As long as it complies with the following:
- Your server may not have “official” in the server name, or be made to imply it is a TBS Official Server in any capacity.
- Your server must comply with our ToS and Code of Conduct policies.
- No verbal abuse, racism, sexism, politics, religion, or inappropriate messages.
- No inappropriate or adult conversations or links.
How can I reserve an Unofficial Server?
Official details can be found on Nitrado’s hosting webpage: [This webpage will be linked once Update 2.10 launches]
After the launch of Update 2.10 there will also be an in-game button marked “Rent A Server” in the Standalone Server menu that will take you to the same webpage.
What is the recommended player count? (By Game Mode)
Unofficial Servers allow players to customize their Chivalry experience in the way that they want. This freedom however is not without its risks.
When creating a match list, please reference the recommended player counts for each game mode. Deviating from this is allowed but can adversely affect the player experience and cause severe bugs (such as players not being able to spawn or crashing players out).
- Team Objective (TO): 2-64 Players (2-52 if horses are enabled)
- Team DeathMatch (TDM): 2-64 Players (2-52 if horses are enabled)
- Last Team Standing (LTS): 2-64 Players
- Free For All (FFA): 2-40 Players
- Brawl: 2-40 Players
- Last Peasant Standing: 2-40 Players
- Volley: 2-40 Players
What settings can I customize?
We offer a number of settings to tailor your experience how you like, including:
- Playercount
- Map List
- Admin List
- Ban List
- Custom Password (Optional)
- Custom Class/Subclass Limits
- Custom Match/Stage Length
- Custom Match Score (TDM/FFA)
- Custom Warmup Length
- Horse Toggle (Applies globally to maps with horse functionality built in)
- Votekick Parameters
- Out of Combat Zone Toggle
- Camera Mode Toggle (First Person, Third Person, No Limit)
Can I create a server with 64 players plus horses?
For stability reasons, servers with horses selected will be capped at 52 players at a time.
Are Unofficial servers cross-platform?
Yes, Unofficial servers are cross-platform.
What DDOS Protections are available on my server?
Nitrado Servers all come with basic DDOS Protections on their servers. In addition, we are exploring additional protections for users post Update 2.10.
Can I set multiple admins on Unofficial servers?
Yes, the server owner can allow multiple trusted users to help admin their server.
[PC Only Feature] What permissions do admins have on Unofficial servers?
- "KickById",
- "BanById",
- “UnbanById”
- "adminsay",
- "serversay",
- "ADDBOTS",
- "REMOVEBOTS",
- "TBSManuallyStartGame",
Although we’d love for both Xbox/Playstation and PC Server Admins to have the same level of permissions within their server, without access to the in-game console these commands are unable to be performed if you aren’t playing on PC.
How does banning work on Unofficial servers?
Admins can ban a player through the admin ban command (see above) and unban through the related unban command. If server owners wish to remove a ban on a player, it is their discretion to remove that player from the ban list.
Global game bans that have been applied by moderators/staff indirectly apply to Unofficial servers, as banned players cannot play Chivalry 2 in any capacity during their ban.
NOTE: Currently there is no total list of players banned visually to the player, so if server owners would like to keep track of which accounts they have banned they will have to do so independently. This may change in the future.
NOTE: It is completely within the discretion of the server owner who they want to ban for whatever reason. These bans are local to the Unofficial server and cannot be appealed to our Moderators or Torn Banner Studios unless there is evidence of wrongdoing that breaks our ToS.
Can RDMs (Random Death Match) be reported to Chivmail?
No, it is up to the discretion of the server owner to moderate their servers.
Do we earn experience/gold while playing on an Unofficial server?
Since the experience is completely tailored to the server owner’s preferences, we are currently unable to regulate experience rates within Unofficial servers. Therefore no experience/gold is awarded while playing on an Unofficial server.
Do global player mutes apply on Unofficial servers?
Yes, muted players are also unable to talk on Unofficial servers.
Keep-In-Mind
Class Limits
Setting restrictions on all classes or subclasses will have negative consequences if all of the slots for each class are filled. For example, if each class or subclass is set to 10% before filling, then only 40% of your team will be able to spawn. This can also have effects on team swapping between teams and from spectator mode.
Team Objective Base Stage Times
Through the web interface, server owners can set the base stage times of each team objective map.
For example, across each stage of Coxwell, a base time of 5 minutes could be set.
- Stage 1: 5 Minutes
- Stage 2: 5 Minutes
- Stage 3: 5 Minutes
- Stage 4: 5 Minutes
- Stage 5: 5 Minutes
Now, this is reflected a little bit differently in the way maps calculate overall stage time. If players take 3 minutes to complete stage 1, there are 2 minutes left remaining.
Each map has a set “Carryover” time between objectives, which is how much time remains on a previous stage that can be added to the next stage.
So if Stage 1 takes 3 minutes (with 2 minutes remaining), with a carryover time of 2 minutes. (Stage 2 base 5 minutes + 2 minutes carryover = 7 minutes).
If stage 1 takes 4 minutes however with only 1 minute remaining, it would only add the extra minute.
(Stage 2 = base 5 minutes + 1 minute carryover = 6 minutes)In a third case, if stage 1 takes 1 minute (4 minutes remaining), it can only add a max of 2 minutes of those 4 remaining minutes to the next stage.
(Stage 2 = base 5 minutes + 2 minutes carryover = 7 minutes)Please keep this in mind when setting your base stages.
Admin Commands Syntax
To access the in-game console to submit these commands first a player needs to be on PC. Next, you’ll need to navigate to your Settings > Options > Game Tab > General > “Enable Console” > Enabled. Finally, once in-game the console can be opened with the ~ key by default.
- KickById [ID] “Reason”
- BanById [ID] [Length in Hours up to 999999] "Reason"
- UnbanID [ID]
- Adminsay “Message”
- Serversay “Message”
- ADDBOTS [Amount]
- REMOVEBOTS 1 1
- TBSManuallyStartGame
To find a player's ID within a match first open the console with the ~ key. Next type the command ListPlayers. This will copy a list of player names and IDs to your clipboard. Paste this to a local notepad or Word document. Search through the list of players to find the ID you are looking for, and apply that ID to the command in the [ID] section.

- Bridgetown: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50
- Montcrux: 10, 20, 30, 40
Map Rotation
Servers always start with the default map after a server restart, in this case FFA_Duelyards
After the next map begins, your map list will follow your set rotation.
Note about the map order: the server holds an index of the current map in the map order. If the server is 3 maps in, and the server restarts, a server restart will cause the server to go to FFA_Duelyards as the default, and then navigate to map index 4.
Known Issues
- Post Match Screen displays gold/xp when no gold/xp is awarded
- Players temporarily appear with no customization or rank after entering a server after a crash (This resolved around 5 minutes after the crash and requires re-entering the server)
- Servers left up over extended periods of time can have their timer desync. We generally recommend a server reset at least every few days
- Travel to/from LTS maps causes players to be level 1 with level 0 classes and no admin powers. (Workaround: re-enter the server after the map travel is complete.)

Developer postChivalry 2 Community Blog + Update 2.10 Teasers
Good Morrow! We hope you’ve all been having a wondrous time on the battlefield since the Reclamation update released at the end of 2023. As we forge the next update, we wanted to have a conversation with the Chivalry community about some of the exciting things coming in Update 2.
Original postGood Morrow!
We hope you’ve all been having a wondrous time on the battlefield since the Reclamation update released at the end of 2023. As we forge the next update, we wanted to have a conversation with the Chivalry community about some of the exciting things coming in Update 2.10 (which is coming very soon!) and speak on some of the pain points we’ve seen from players that we haven’t had the opportunity to provide an official response to yet.
Before we look to the future with our 2.10 update, we wanted to reflect on the 2.9 Reclamation update and bring our learnings to the (round) table.
Reclamation Update 2.9 - Recap
🔹The Reclamation of Montcrux - MapA key feature of 2.9 undoubtedly was the brand new map and battlefield experience of ‘The Reclamation of Montcrux.’ When our team came up with the initial concept behind Montcrux, they based the idea on an epic medieval movie-style fight where the Agathians had to fight a literal uphill battle to reclaim the home that was once theirs. While Montcrux encapsulated this memorable feeling, we understand that sometimes, leaning into the more thematic side of level design can make parts of this map feel less competitive than others.
We’ve been closely monitoring the balance of Montcrux and have previously implemented some changes in the 2.9.2 Hotfix to balance out the Attackers and Defenders. Feedback and performance will continue to be monitored. If more adjustments need to be made to give that epic feeling that a win was earned well or that a loss is just a temporary setback, we will continue to adapt as necessary.
We have heard community concern that Montcrux is shorter than players would have liked to see. As the map is meant to focus on thematic moments, having a concise battle structure made more sense. For now, we don’t plan to add additional phases to Montcrux. Still, we have a future map in the works that will satiate that desire for a long and hard-fought epic battle, so sharpen your swords, collect your quivers, and be ready.
🔹Siege Crossbow - Weapon
Our original intent behind the Siege Crossbow was a weapon that would be able to rival the non-objective siege weapons and constructables around the map and give opposing teams a fighting chance against ballistas, catapults, etc. However, the unique nature of the Siege Crossbow and its signature ability to damage these constructables brought unforeseen complications late in the development cycle of Update 2.9 that would have created a less-than-favorable situation. Due to our desire to craft the best experience possible for all our players, the hard decision was made to cut the damage it dealt to non-objective constructables for the 2.9 release and address those obstacles further in the next update.
These events unfolded late into the development of 2.9, leaving us unable to communicate this situation more clearly with our players. We apologize for any confusion around the initial release of the Siege Crossbow.
We are excited to announce that our team resolved those complications for Update 2.10! We can’t wait to see what all of you do with the Siege Crossbow in 2.10 now that it’s gained so much of its versatility back, and we are excited for you to share that new destruction with us. Please.
🔹Last Peasant Standing - Game Mode
Last Peasant Standing has been one of our most requested game modes. We love the enthusiasm we’ve seen based on its first run through the rotation. We are as excited as y’all to see it return to the limited-time queue.
🔹Launch Delays
The delays of Update 2.9 are already a topic that we’ve touched on in the past. Still, we’d like to assure the community that since the launch of 2.9, we have made vast improvements that should make the previously seen delays unlikely to be repeated. Our team is dedicated to doing everything we can to prevent these delays from happening in the future.
Now, we’d like to look forward; there are a few subjects that we’d like to officially acknowledge and give additional context to that we haven’t had an appropriate opportunity to touch on so far.
🔸Cheaters
Cheaters are a topic that almost every multiplayer game has to address at some point, but also an issue that has to be handled with the utmost caution. Any additional information we reveal regarding our process in handling cheaters or what alterations we are making could give those bad actors an advantage in trying to circumvent the systems we’ve put in place.
We can say in no uncertain terms that addressing “cheaters” or players who try to use third-party software to gain an unfair advantage within Chivalry 2 is one of our top priorities. Our team has issued thousands of account, IP, and hardware bans to prevent these users from being able to continue their detrimental behavior, and we are working on a more robust form of Anti-Cheat. These steps are just part of the overall system and work hand-in-hand with reports from our players to fight the scourge that is cheating.
🔸Team Switching
Throughout the history of Chivalry, players have been given the option to choose which side of the battle they’d like to contribute to.
Although this feature is not seen within many multiplayer games nowadays, we believe it still holds a special place within Chivalry to allow players to live their fantasy and choose which side of the epic battle they’d like to fight on. Suppose they’d like to play as the noble Agathians, the dreadful Masons, or the ruthless Tenosians. The team switch feature opens the choice up to the player. While we see its value even if some players may be misusing the option, we have been exploring a method to bring both visions closer together (balance vs preference).
Our team has been monitoring some negative feedback around the team switch feature and the calls for its removal. At the center of these feelings seems to be the situation in which a player doesn’t believe their match is well-balanced and will use the team switch feature to join the “winning” team, contributing to a further imbalance.
To help address that underlying issue, we have been working on a new change we hope to release very soon. It will be a skill-based team-balancing feature that will consider a player’s global rank before a match to even out a match’s attacking and defending sides.
Despite knowing that the skill-based team-balancing system won’t completely remove the possibility of unbalanced matches, we are excited to hear player feedback after this new feature has launched regarding the team switch feature and its place within Chivalry 2 afterward.
🔸Official Mod Support
Although we have heard requests from parts of the community that official Chivalry 2 mod support would be valued, at this juncture, we don’t have it on our timeline for something we’d be able to deliver in the foreseeable future.
In addition to today’s Community Blog, we’ll be releasing the Chivalry 2 Code of Conduct and updating the rules of our Official Chivalry 2 Discord.
We hope both changes will help clear up any possible confusion and also help us build a stronger Chivalry 2 community moving forward!Update 2.10 - Teasers
As mentioned in today’s blog, we’d also like to tease a few fun and exciting new things coming to Chivalry 2 with the next update, 2.10: Duel of the Fêtes!One of the biggest new additions for this update is the introduction of three maps! The first of which, Frozen Wreck, will feature a Free-for-All and Team Deathmatch version ready for players to take on.
Watch where you step! While fighting on Frozen Wreck, you can never be too sure if the ice underneath your boots will be around for long. This frozen wasteland will test even the most veteran of fighters.
Also, coming in 2.10, we’ll have another Free-for-All map and a new, what we’d call “Social” map available to play and explore at launch!
Furthermore, 2.10 will introduce a new campaign pass and community-requested cosmetics like three variations on the Agathian Monk to be used in FFA/Duel game modes.
Stay tuned for further info on cosmetics as part of the 2.10 campaign pass. Like our previous campaign passes, there is no time limit on unlocking everything, and it comes with free and paid reward tracks.
Show off your spiritual devotion while you deal with the sinners on the battlefield with these new Monk FFA cosmetics. Calling Friar Tuck Fans, your time is nigh.
In addition to other cosmetics, the new Vantearian Messer is breathtaking. How anyone could ever run around the battlefield with anything other than this piece of art will be a mystery for the ages.
The 2.10 Update will also come with many bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements. Most notable is the ability for players to select their Matchmaking region of preference within the Game Options menu.
We’d also like to announce that Unofficial Servers are close at hand! We have a ton of additional information to share on when they will launch and how players will be able to engage with them, but we’ll be tackling that on another day.
We can’t wait to show you more about the 2.10 Update for Chivalry 2. Be sure to follow our social media to catch some additional teasers. The patch notes will provide complete information regarding the changes and new features once 2.10 has been released!
Fare thee well,
Chivalry Community Team

Original postIt's a Free Weekend for Chivalry 2! On all platforms today including Steam, try Chivalry 2 for free. The Free Weekend lasts until December 11, 2023.
Watch on YouTube We’re excited to be bringing additional updates to Chivalry 2 in 2024. One team objective map that we’re working on is an incredible one, set to deliver one of the most memorable gaming moments in Chivalry franchise history. This map will be coming in 2024, but no longer the next update to Chivalry 2 (update 2.10) - so that we can focus resources on community requested features.
In 2024 we are also set to bring players one of the game’s most requested features: Unofficial Servers that players can rent and run themselves!
Unofficial Servers
We’re excited to reveal that Unofficial Servers are coming to Chivalry 2. Whereas “Official Servers” (all servers currently in the game) are rented and controlled by Torn Banner, Unofficial Servers are rented and managed by players.
Our aim is to give players more ways to play Chivalry 2 through this new feature. We’re especially excited for the competitive, clan and content creator communities to all gain more control over their own events and initiatives.
Through our partnership with server provider Nitrado, users will be able to rent their own server and configure a limited number of custom settings. Stay tuned for more info as we approach the launch of this feature in 2024, and watch for more updates to Chivalry 2’s public roadmap.
Onward, to glory!

Chivalry 2 Hotfix 2.9.1

Original postGood morrow knights! A minor hotfix (2.9.1) has been released that resolves a character customization reset bug, fixes crossparty bugs, as well as two Montcrux map issues.
Customization
- Fixed an issue where character customization and settings would reset
The save data for character customization and settings were set to the incorrect file path, resulting in the failsafe to reset the player’s customization back to the default values. As a result of this fix, your customization may reset once more or return back to their previous customization seen before 2.9’s release. If players on PC wish to keep the customization and settings they made post 2.9’s release, the following workaround can be done:
- Make sure the game is closed
- In your file explorer, navigate to “Chivalry 2/TBL/Saved/Cloud”
- In a separate window, navigate to the location where your game is stored
- Navigate through %localappdata%/Chivalry 2/TBL/Saved/Cloud
- Backup the Cloud folder in your appdata directory
- Copy over the Cloud folder seen in your game directory to your appdata directory
- Start the game
If done correctly, you should see your customization persist.
Crossparties Beta
- [Xbox] - Fixed a crash that would occur when reading party info during matchmaking
- [Xbox] - Fixed an issue where the game would not transition a player into a party when joining the party via the friends list while in a suspended state
- [Gamepass] - Fixed an issue where the game would not allow the player to send a game invitation via the Game Bar prior to sending an invite in-game
- [Gamepass] - Fixed an issue where the party leader could not kick a party member on the same platform
The Reclamation of Montcrux
- Fixed an issue where horse spawners would be active in 64p Matchmaking
- Fixed an issue where the third left wall explosion during stage 2 would teleport players in the map
