Dear Mechanics,
Today's hotfix will be slightly different from the previous ones. We have to announce that we are changing our roadmap plan for this month. We assumed that in May we will release two new tanks - Panzer II C and PzKpfw VIII Maus. Due to the problems encountered, which we describe below, we have to postpone the release of Maus to June.
We do our best to make sure that every of our newly released vehicles is perfect and has a fully modeled interior (f.e. in an engine). This is the ambitious goal we set for ourselves for the production of the latest vehicles. You can see the results of this attitude in our recently published models. With Maus, we need more time to work on details. We don't want to release an incomplete vehicle, it's pointless.
The production of two vehicles in a month forced us to focus more on the models at the expense of the issues in the game. We receive a lot of signals about your dissatisfaction related to the bugs that have been accumulating in our game for some time now. We collect your reports you send to us. You can see a fraction of what we are working on currently.
To sum up, in May we want to release only Panzer II C and focus on fixing all those issues we have gathered. We don't want to sound like we are complaining. Without beating around the bush - we have a lot of work to do.
we have uploaded a hotfix for update 1.2.4, on a branch unstable, list of changes:
1.2.4 Hotfix 1
Modified / Tweaked:
- Removed support for saving game data in Windows Registry (it solves various bugs and improve game stability)
Fixed:
- InvertY option (FPP and TPP mode) for Xbox One controller
- Only crew slots that should be able to can now control guns/mgs - for instance a driver in Tiger won't be able to use any weapon
- Switching slots when in tank on proving grounds correctly manages the activation/deactivation of weapons
- Decreased force for recoil when shooting from M8 Greyhound
- Fixed muzzle fire visuals in M8 Greyhound
If this hotfix proves to be helpful in few days we will switch it to the default branch. Sorry for all the waiting, but the main fix this hotfix brings - the memory leak fix - was very important for us to send it out.
Thanks for all the support and have a good weekend.
DeGenerals
