Red Orchestra 2 Update Released - September 21

[StrangleHold]

We have figured out what is causing some people to lose frame rates. We will be reverting the sound loss fix (it was the cause). Servers won't need to update.

Awesome!! Thank you

Rock on

Perfomance after patch is terrible for me. Had never been an issue until now grr wtf???

 

[tonton-bob]

Why not leave the open beta available with a few dozen servers both in europe and us, so you could test the patches there? I would gladly test the newly available patches as soon as there's a steam announcement (as it shows up now for the actual game).

I know it would be a pain to set this up but the benefits would definitely be worth it.

Lower fps ever since 3

Complain as we might about our likes & dislikes of the ballance & tweaks, but there can be no complaining about your bugfixing & dedication here.

Thanks for the update, I`ll test my FPS when I get home, if its the same as the last update I`ll have another 10 fps to play with.

FYI, we did a beta release of this update and tested with a bunch of players on a server for almost 2 hours. Noone experienced the sound bug, and noone experienced the performance issues. Sometimes you can only find these issues with a broader release. What really matters is we're rolling it back as quickly as possible, so performance will be back to normal in minutes.

Wow, Red October Factory goes by at 15-20fps now on a 32 players server with low ping.

And that sound bug fix part of this update was just rolled back (which was causing the performance issues). The rest of the changelog is still valid.

I suggest everyone calms down, restart Steam (the 18mb roll-back just occurred in the UK) and keep this in perspective.

 

[Richey79]

Probably worth letting people know the repatch is only 18 Megs.

I noticed you are usually testing the patches in the closed beta (i'm following this: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/RO2HoSBeta ), but what i meant is to use the open beta, which would be quite broad and permit for a good testing still not irritating the masses that don't want to act as testers.

Anyway, thanks!

I must say that as far as performance is concerned, Apartments is perfect now. I was getting 91% GPU usage, but other maps were the same if not worse. Glad to see that you guys are still working hard to iron this all out. Keep up the good work.

In contrast to all the anger directed at you (devs), I just want to leave a big thank you for the updates. The frequency this game is updated is exceptional, I can't imagine how long we would have to wait for fixes from a major publisher, Ubisoft as the root of all that's wrong with PC gaming comes to mind.
You guys are doing great and I don't regret buying your products for a second!

just downloaded a 218 MB patch is that this one?

 

[Stahlhelmii]

I gave 'em the benefit of the doubt and tried with the new patch. Didn't CTD by 2nd round this time (yay ...), but my fps went from 50's-60's down to 20's-30's!!!

TWI: "But ... but ... I don't understand! It worked on the lab rat!"
