I will be rolling through updating servers starting at 12:15 PM EST. It usually takes me 30 minutes max to get them all done so watch for them going down and then make sure you get the latest download by restarting Steam.
If you have issues after downloading the patch, first run a “Verify” of your files to ensure everything downloaded properly from Steam. Right click on the game and select Properties, then click the Local Files tab and click the Verify integrity of game cache button.

Patch Notes 16 January 2016
This patch includes a lot of changes to Factory including the addition of rain, some tweaking to Lobby to adjust loading so the ready up delay could be reduced again, a lot of fine tuning of weapons to balance them given the new view distances on the reworked maps and the community feedback we received.
New/Adjusted Features:
Factory:
- Rain particles have been added.
- Rain sounds including thunder and lightning flashes were added.
- Main building rooms now have nameplates.
- More props were added, including a new Showroom with mannequins and posters.
- The detonator for the bridge was moved to the Processing building so it is more centralized.
- Stairs to allow upward passage from the lower roof were added.
- Collision was added to ledges and over 38 windows. Grenades now only pass through open spaces and not colored panes in windows. {*]Adjustments were made to various Light Maps and particle effects to optimize for the rain.
Weapons:
All weapons were fine tuned. Four separate tuning passes were done based on dev tester feedback to reach the current settings. Changes included to better balance weapons and give them unique personalities affected:
- Differing headshot multipliers depending on weapon
- Weapon start damage amounts
- Weapon end damage points
- Weapon start damage degrade
- Weapon end damage degrade and final damage amounts
- Additional sound clips were added for several of the pistols so they have more unique sounds
