Hello Blood Bowl coaches!
We’re excited to announce that the Blood Bowl 2 multiplayer beta is now live. That means you’re able to jump in and play the game right away and start earning XP for your coaches, and developing your teams. Yup, that means that your saves, teams, and coaches will not be deleted upon launch.
The following content will be available during the multiplayer beta – and remember, it’s exactly that: a beta. We’d love to hear your feedback, technical issues, bug reporting and anything else you’d like to share with us. The right places to do that would be the Steam Hub and the game’s official forum.
Content in the multiplayer beta:
• Four races: Orc, Humans, Dwarfs, and Skaven
• Friendly games, local, online – against AI or players
• Multiplayer leagues
• Management: team and league creation, levelling up, earning XP etc…
• Cabal TV (that’s the game’s replay mode to help you reflect on, and analyze, your game and games from other players).
Remember, this is a real beta so we really value your feedback. Play as much multiplayer as you can and create a league with your friend! There’s no NDA, so feel free to stream and discuss your impressions about the game online and with Focus and Cyanide who’ll be eagerly scanning over your feedback. There is a list of known issues that we’re working on before launch, and these are below:
• Some players might experience performance quirks depending on their hardware – still working on optimization
• In very rare cases, certain skills used in conjunction with others may cause issues – these are known, and will be fixed for launch.
• Delay in action after Always Hungry fails by about 10 seconds.
• Minor UI tweaks are in the works.
You’re playing before launch – during crunch time – so there’s still work to be done. This is quite normal, so don’t feel as though this is indicative of the final quality of the game. If you encounter a problem, let us know, and we’ll get on it (it’s probably something we’re already working on).
For new players, a handy guide can be found here (this is not the final version): http://guide.bloodbowl-game.com/
If you encounter technical issues (no personal feedbacks), please post it on our dedicated forum: http://forum.bloodbowl-game.com/viewforum.php?f=90
To help us identify and fix them as fast as possible, make sure to include as many information, crash reports, replay, ... as possible.
That’s about all you need to know before jumping in – so, jump in!
Have fun,
Cyanide Studios & Focus Home Interactive.
