Jan 11th 2013 RO 2 Patch

[Partisan]Brice]

This game still needs a lot of love from his developers, at bug fixing.

Some great progress have been made since the game release but it's still very frustrating at playing.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Agree with all. I'm sure the devs are banking on RS being that next-gen game (at least for TWI) and hopefully just porting all the bug fixes to HOS (if possible). Gotta watch out for the bottom line, after all - and with limited resources you can't do it all

Awesome to see you guys keeping up with the game, i cant wait to get back to playing.. just waiting to upgrade my pc setup.

Slugish play is luckly gone.

One of our goals is indeed to make it so updates do not require custom maps to be rebuilt. It is one of the things that has kept us from updating the game as much as we would like.

Don't forget to update the Steam store page "product updates" page this time guys, as according to that RO2 hasn't seen any patches in a year.

Yeah, that's not good PR for the players who don't check the forums, but click on a game in their library to see if it has any "product updates"!

"Shall I give RO2 another chance? It's cool, but it was so broken a year ago when I played it... Oh no updates.."

Look out for yourself TWI, protect yourself from misinformed-people scorn!

I just got back to this game a few weeks ago hoping that there would be more vehicles as said in this article by one of the devs:

So we do already have four additional vehicles in production and those will likely come out in our first free content pack not long after the launch. The four additional vehicles will be two more tanks and two troop transports.

So, I'm not up to date with RO2 currently so could anyone clear this up for me?


Thank you!

 

[Yoshiro]

Those vehicles were delayed.

 

[Crappy]

Those vehicles were delayed.

Do you know why were they delayed? And will they be implemented, if so when?

 

[Victhor-ASH]

Please but please, add some new content, like grenades, the Hafthohlladung magnetic is very odd implemented it should stick on magnetic surfaces. Not thrown, why wasn't the Geballte Ladung implemented in the first place. Also nerf or do something with the AVT/MKB, like make it spawn to assault squads only for a limited amount of time, to make it much rare and harder to get. Also when will we see MOLOTOV's in-game?

But most important make the game more optimised it's a hell to play with 64 players, compared to other games from 2012 it's much more harder to play on low performance than even BF 3 with many players, excepting the fact that you will need a performance rig to do so.

They were delayed because our priorities shifted/changed. Right now the RO teams priority is Rising Storm.

There is not much room for improvement here. The reason why BF 3 is DX 11 only is because of a benefit DX 11 has for multi threaded draw calls. Our version of UE 3 does not support DX 11, and the DX 11 builds that do exist do not have multi-threaded draw calls. This results in RO being very CPU heavy (on up to 3 cores) and that will remain the main choke point on user pc's.

ok why cant you use a more later version of UE3?
and why is there DX10 option in the config but when you enable it, it crashes?

 

[Victhor-ASH]

Will there be added any custom weapon vehicles or weapon, player models in steam workshop???

Upgraded engine builds is a major under taking. If you keep upgrading your engine build you will never finish a game. Thus about a year before RO 2 launched we locked down our engine. We have evaluated updating post launch but the amount of engine features that have changed between our build and current means some base systems would need to be completely redone (as some things aren't in the engine anymore and have been replaced), as well any bugs from upgrading that would need to be tracked down and addressed (a time consuming process).

The DX 10 renderer in our build of UE 3 was not working right so we do not support it.

That is up to modders, not us. But we are supporting such projects when they come to us for help.

 

[bobsynergy]

Any eta when we will get the next what are we up to? would love to hear whats going on with Rising Storm since it's the new year and what's going on in the future for RO2.

Also do you guys have plans to have the really good maps from the contests (and good maps in the future) to be added officially? It would mean having more servers running custom maps.

Thanks

When i was a child, my grandfather alwasy told me to finish a work first, before i start an other. The result will be two non-finished-works.

Players can get Content Update for free.
Players will have to pay to have RS.
