Announcement
Attention Espire Agents! We are excited to present our 3rd patch for Espire. With patch 1.3, we’ve addressed some critical issues with the AI, fixed other reported bugs and, on the PC side, added more gameplay options for HTC Vive and Valve Index users. This patch will be shipping on PS VR very soon.

The team’s core focus is now improving the A.I based off player feedback. We’ve been working on a sizeable “Espire A.I Update” that we hope will address the issues players have had with the AI. We will update our public roadmap to list everything we’re addressing in this A.I update, which will be landing ASAP. This update also aims to improve the user experience, mechanics and gameplay, based off your suggestions. The player will be able to find tranq ammo throughout the map, for example.

On the Quest side, we’re also preparing a visual update, where the game...

These are new fixes present in 1.2 for PC Steam and Oculus Rift and Quest Agents which are as follows:

• Added a Brightness option to the Display menu, allowing players to adjust overall brightness.
• Fixed an issue where environmental objects were stunning guards without being, first, disturbed by a player.
• Fixed an issue where players could incorrectly pause the game while inside the checkpoint airlock after reloading their saved mission progress.
• Fixed an issue where the user would fall through the world after possessing certain Espire units while in the checkpoint Airlock after reloading saved mission progress.
• Fixed lighting issues in the Radiata Virtual Challenge.
• Improved the ease of use...

Espire Update 1 is starting to roll out on platforms starting now with the Steam and Oculus platforms. This update includes the following:

Feature Improvements

• Redesigned the Comfort Settings UI, such that it is clear how to disable our comfort mode (The Espire Control Theater).
• Redesigned the Smooth/Snap turn settings so that players now switch between smooth and snap turn modes and adjust the speed/intensity of each.
• Added an option in the Display Settings to disable the blue detection level HUD lines.
• Sliders in menus now disable their associated feature when hitting a minimum value.
• Disabled the "Ghost Hand" feature, where motion controllers render on top of weapons if Espire's hands do not match the real-world location of the player's hand. We will look to bring this back as a purely optional feature in a later patch.

Platform Improvements

• Adjusted the grip sensitivity of the Valve Index...

Hello everyone!

On behalf of everyone at developer Digital Lode and publisher Tripwire Interactive, we’d like to give a big shout out and “Thank You” to everyone who has been following and supporting Espire 1: VR Operative since it was first announced. This is Digital Lode’s first title and we are truly humbled by the community’s response to our launch last week.

We’ve been watching the streams and videos – and reading player reviews and comments. We are blown away by the positive feedback and are excited to see so many new agents enjoying Espire 1: VR Operative for the first time. But we are also keeping an eye out on issues, concerns, and constructive feedback – and wanted to share an update on some of our top priorities moving forward, this will encompass a first pass and follow up pass of issues that will require a little more time.

For those agents on PSVR, we are working with our partners with a goal to get a patch out as soon as we can, we do not yet have a firm...

Espire 1: VR Operative aims to set the new gold standard for the stealth genre in virtual reality, delivering gameplay mechanics for the stealth and action genres that have yet to be explored in the space. Players are charged with the role of an “Espire Agent” and use cutting-edge Virtual Reality hardware to remote-operate the Espire model 1 drone.
Watch an Espire Agent steal a guard’s gun to hold him up...

Semi-automatic precision weapon intended for medium range engagements.

Sports greatly increased magazine size compared to other alternatives.

Person Of Interest Biography


Name: Rachel Clamely
Previous Last Sighting: (Believed deceased) The London Underground
(Former) Occupation: Horzine Science Division
Current Mental Status: Insane
Known Relatives: Kevin Clamely (AKA: The Patriarch)

Mercs,

We have some good news! We are not sure how, but the “good” Dr. survived the incident in the London Underground, however that is about the end of the jovial news here. Much as the literary case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the doctor we once knew has changed, and not for the better!

What little intel we have managed to gather so far suggests that, much like her father, she began to dabble in human modification to better battle the threat of the Patriarch and his clone army. Her results seemed to have fared about as well in the mental stability department, so good luck trying to reason with her.

It appears our...

Hello Mercs,

Last week we mentioned you would be heading back into the Biotics Lab to shut it down for good, and today we want to go over the new resources you’ll have available to get that job done. The Horzine Research Group has come up with some new concepts we think you are going to love.



First up, the HRG Winterbite for those Gunslingers out there. We get it, sometimes you just want to feel loved by the Sharpshooters, or well anybody running away from a ZED. Don’t you worry, with the Winterbite there is no way for you to fail! Equipped to fire cartridges to put some nitrogen ice shards downrange, these babies will help you bring your foes to a standstill, setting up some great combos with your team. Or team up with a Firebug for a Siren’s song of Fire and Ice!



And Medics, for you the HRG Incision may be your new best friend. The...

Hello Mercs,

We’ve received word from the top on your next Objective. It looks like you’ll be revisiting some old ground in the Biotics Lab, and with good reason. Since you’ve last been there it looks like someone has brought it back into full operation and has resumed clone production.



Dr. Buyu has called for help and this time, we need to make sure when you leave, nothing will bring this facility back online. That means shutting down the production lines and playing havoc with the raw material being used so nothing can be salvaged.



On the way out, do make sure to leave a present for the clot birthing “creature” in the tank will you?

Don’t worry, we won’t be sending you in without some new tools of the trade, and trust us, you'll need them if what we are hearing is correct. We have reports that some of the mercs in the field we had tracking down those...

As you are most likely aware, Antimatter Games, who did the majority of development work on Rising Storm 2: Vietnam have been acquired by Toadman and announced they are working exclusively on a new title of their own. As such, they are no longer actively developing RS 2. While we work on the longer-term implications of that, there are a number of issues we are aware of and are actively working to fix for you in the coming weeks, including but not limited to:

• Whitelist updates for new mods/mutators
• Servers intermittently going deranked
• “Black screen” during Campaign Mode under certain circumstances

More on this over the next few weeks. And as always, thank you for being fans of the Red Orchestra and Rising Storm franchise.

Hello Everyone!

Today we wanted to cover some Quality of Life improvements coming towards Killing Floor 2 that we are sure many of you will enjoy.

Starting with weaponry, the team is taking another pass at the Vlad-1000 Nailgun and the Hemogoblin, tuning these weapons in to make them feel more useful in the hands of players. Both of these weapons received a lot of quality feedback in the recent community survey and we want to make sure they get dialed into something more valuable to the players.

Another change we are making is removing the recoil buff from the Commando Hollow Point Rounds skill and making it into a passive for all Commando's. A lot of community feedback pointed towards the recoil feeling like a necessity for the Commando Perk, so we want to give recoil reduction as a passive a try instead of giving Eat Lead recoil reduction similar to Hollow Point Rounds. We are looking forward to seeing how Eat Lead and Hollow Point Rounds feel in the upcoming update.

The team...
