Quality of Life Update This update is all about the little things that make a match feel better: knowing who you're playing with, dealing with the players who ruin it, and fewer moments of "wait, why did it do that?" Here's what's new. A Brand New PLAYERS Screen Open the in-game
Put Down the Mouse Task Force's menus now work entirely with a controller. Boot the game in Steam Big Picture on your TV, grab your controller, and go: find a server, set up a lobby, change your settings, challenge another team on the ladder, and jump into a match without ever re
Competitive Ladders Are Here Task Force now has a full competitive mode built right into the game. Put a team together, challenge other teams to matches, and climb the standings. Everything happens in the main menu: no websites, no spreadsheets, and no need to leave the game. And
The HUD Overhaul This update gives the in-game HUD a complete refresh. Everything you look at during a match has been cleaned up, made easier to read at a glance, and given a little more life - without getting in the way of the action. The overall look you know is still there, it
A whole new interface This update replaces almost every menu in Task Force. We rebuilt the server browser, rankings, stats and settings, along with the way you create a lobby and find community maps. Everything follows one design: tactical blue panels, clear tabs, a trail along t
This update includes support for ultrawide resolutions. The opening sequences have all been adjusted to accommodate 32:9 aspect ratios: The main menu now supports ultrawide monitors as well. Here is a comparison between the 16:9 and 32:9 variations: The in-game HUD has also been
This is probably one of the most important updates we've ever made. Not to be too overdramatic or emotional, but having an automated ladder system was the entire dream of this game from the get-go. You see, this game started off as a mod on Insurgency called Resurgence. It was a
This update includes a temporary workaround for a critical issue with accelerated paint that would cause some players with both dedicated and integrated graphics (usually laptops) to experience a "black screen" when booting the game. You would still hear the main menu music in th
This update makes some very significant optimizations across various systems. The character rotation system, which sends quite a lot of data, has now been optimized so it no longer floods the network (as it was the first thing to start dropping in low bandwidth scenarios). The au
This update includes a ton of new Unreal Engine 5 assets that we're testing. Here's an example of a new map we're planning for a military outpost: There's also dynamic weather that we've setup so the map is sometimes day time or night time, which will automatically enable/disable
This update fixes a critical bug with water volumes interacting with bullets and the new lean mechanic. If a player was leaning in water it would cause them to "go sliding" due to the lean pushaway system hitting all the water. It was also not possible to shoot through water usin
This update fixes a critical issue with water replication. There were some inconsistencies with the networking between servers and clients with these new movement mechanics, so now these issues have been addressed. We've also utilized the integrated water system that comes with t
This update overhauls all the animations for the new leaning system. The character will now keep their feet more planted and actually moves the weapon to the left when leaning to the left. So now your "other right" (left) can finally shoot around corners too! Please note this is
This update includes a ton of new Unreal Engine 5 assets that we're testing. Here's an example of a new map we're planning for a petrochemical plant: There's also dynamic weather that we've setup so the map is sometimes party cloudy, raining, or even an all out thunderstorm. We p
This update changes the default renderer from DirectX 12 to DirectX 11. We're making this change because after extensive testing we've determined that the game runs smoother this way without really losing too many new UE5 features that we don't necessarily need right now. That's
This update makes some significant performance enhancements to the user interface system. We are now using something called "accelerated paint" in order to provide a much more responsive and snappier UI. However this system is currently only in place for DirectX 11 and is not fin
This update adjusts a lot of settings for Lumen Global Illumination and Reflections. We've carefully tuned some default engine settings which should fix a lot of issues with existing maps and things being a bit too dark. There is now a significant amount of indoor lighting to pre
This update enables Lumen Global Illumination and Reflections by default. It includes some optimized settings to ensure these new lighting modes run as efficiently as possible. These new features are what make everything "pop" in Unreal Engine 5, but (as we always do) we wanted t
This update fixes an important issue with server disconnect messages. There are lots of custom systems running for our workshop integration which provide automatic downloading of maps on the loading screen, map version checking, automatic map updates, ect. But if a server is out
