We've fixed an issue introduced with patch 1029.3 that caused some Windows 7 users to not be able to launch GROUND BRANCH.
⚠️ Coming from a previous version of the game? Issues with controls, loadouts, assets or settings? We strongly recommend players coming from an older version of the game to delete all files located in %LOCALAPPDATA%/GroundBranch/Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor (paste file path onto your File Explorer address bar and hit [Enter] to go to folder). NOTE: This will remove all saved settings and loadouts. For those who can afford it, we suggest a full reinstall: it may fix broken/missing features introduced in this version, as well as issues with controls, assets, settings and even performance. To ensure a clean reinstall, you need to manually delete all files located in these folders:
- …/steamapps/common/Ground Branch
- %LOCALAPPDATA%/GroundBranch/%UserProfile%/Documents/GroundBranch/
⚠️ Update your dedicated server! All dedicated servers must be updated to work with the current version. Make sure yours is up-to-date so players can enjoy the latest version of GROUND BRANCH!
Fixed Windows 7 compatibility
We found that after updating Wwise (the audio middleware we're using) to work with UE4.24, it was trying to use xinput1_4.dll—part of a library that is not available on Windows 7. We've removed the references to those libraries, as they're not required by the game.
Yep—that's it!
This has been Build Update #024!
