Hey everyone,
Welcome to Dev Brief #105!
This week's brief is going to be pretty short and sweet as we focus on gathering and working on everyone's feedback over the last 24 hours and beyond.
We've been blown away by the support and feedback we've seen and we really appreciate everyone who's taking a moment to share their experiences with us, what they like, what they don't like and any bugs they've encountered.
The team have already deployed a Hotfix to address an issue with the Vote Kick system which wouldn't of been possible without your feedback on it - so thanks for that!
Now, what else are we looking at? The following bullet points highlight some of the main feedback / bug reports we've seen, but it is not exhaustive. If you do not see something you've fed back don't panic, because we're almost certainly aware of it due to combing through Steam, Social Media, Reddit and our Discord server.
Selection of common U8 feedback areas
- Grass can render slowly / pop-in
- Bullet Penetration inconsistent
- TTK of Rifle / other small-arms to infantry can spike upwards in certain circumstances (we have a couple of theories on why this can occur and are looking into it)
- AA is very sharp
- Small selection of players reporting an FPS drop, whilst many others reporting an increase
- Changes to weapon balance / availability
As you can see, some of the above are bug reports and others are player feedback and opinion such as weapon balance.
The team are aware of all of the above and more and highly encourage anyone with something they'd like to let us know, be it the good, the bad or the 'bug'ly to make a post on any of our platforms, including here on Steam.
Hell Let Loose Game Server Providers
Now onto some cool server news!
Firstly we want to thank all of our veteran, and newer server hosters! We have a very dedicated and loyal community that we are extremely grateful for.
We have had such a massive interest in HLL server hosting over the Early Access period, but even more so in the last 24 hours! So If you are looking into hosting a Hell Let Loose server for your new or existing clan/community, now is as good as time as any!
Here is our list of official server providers across multiple regions:
We want to make sure you have the best experience possible, so if you have further questions about renting a server, you can DM Spono in the official HLL Discord - https://discord.gg/QaYSzpjC
We will be looking to expand the above list in the future, to give our community more choice. Unfortunately we do not currently allow access to our dedicated server files.
Again we want to thank all of the server owners, admins and volunteers who make sure you can enjoy your HLL experience and are with you battling it out on the frontline!
The Next Steps...
The team are going to be continuing to collate your feedback and work on addressing any issues that have arisen in Update 8.
We'll keep you in the loop on where we're at with things where possible, so watch this space!
We hope you're enjoying Hurtgen and Update 8 so far, have a brilliant weekend everyone.
See you on the frontline.
