Hey everyone,
Thank you for bearing with us while we take in the news shared earlier this week.
We wanted to confirm that the planned PTE session for Hell Let Loose will still be going ahead today at 3pm BST, and will end on Monday the 9th, so you’ll have the weekend to provide feedback on some of the new night maps before they arrive in future patches, starting with Carentan and Sainte-Mère-Église, which will arrive in Patch 14.4, as well as vaulting and mantling improvements, the addition of an improved dive to prone, as well as help us identify any potential broader impact from the loadout bug fix.
However, we will now be moving back the planned release of Patch 14.4 to the 19th of October, a week later than originally planned.
This should not affect the planned release of part one of the British forces, which will arrive in Patch 14.5 in November.
