Holdfast: Nations At War has been updated. We’ve decided to place our focus on stability and bug fixes for this one. It might not be as exciting as new content but it’s just as important! If you’re looking for a couple of new things to try out, there’ll be plenty of that coming with the next update.
We’ve gone ahead and re-worked the firearm recoil mechanics so they feel less restrictive, optimised 3D VoIP to reduce latency spikes on servers, fixed a whole lot of graphical issues including the flickering green screen on naval and coastal maps and more.
