With A Play With The Devs Test on Saturday!
Hello everyone!
We are excited to announce that we are updating the Community Test Branch build to the upcoming 1.08 Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) update. This will happen sometime Friday with a scheduled playtest to happen on Saturday at 2 PM EST (-5 GMT), 7 PM BST.
This will include all of the upcoming content including:
As well as other quality of life improvements such as:
To join, players will need to make sure that the: Rising Storm 2: Community Test Branch Beta application is installed in their Steam library. Several servers will be up for testing in both Atlanta, Georgia as well as Frankfurt, Germany for the Saturday playtest.
Important note: If you do not see any servers, security software (such as an antivirus or firewall) is likely not recognizing the game .exe and is blocking it. You may need to remove and re-add the game to any ignore/allow list.
The full changelog for this update can be found here: https://steamcommunity.com/games/737230/announcements/detail/1662270614918135144
In addition, there's a couple of items that have been spotted in CTB, so we'll mention them briefly here - and talk about them in more detail as they develop. We are excited to confirm Multiplayer Campaign is on the way, but is very much "in development" and will not be included in the upcoming 1.08 ARVN update. The other item is bots. We currently have an external group doing some experimental work on AI and new navmesh code for us. It still needs a lot of development work and testing. Our goal with the AI is to see what it would take to provide players a good experience playing against an AI opponent. Please keep in mind this is experimental prototype work and so there's no guarantees what will come of it. We'll discuss both MP Campaign and AI work after we've got the update out the door and into your hands!
We look forward to playing with your this weekend and getting your feedback on the upcoming 1.08 ARVN Update! You can find the CTB Steam Discussions here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/737230/discussions/
