Thanks TW!

Any reason why Fallen Hero's wasn't added at launch?

"Zhitomir1941 (Fixed spawn protection exploit)"
Would that be the area beyond the broken walls, from which the germans can kill soviets while being invulnerable ?

Where have all the servers gone?

Because we only just finished it ?

Ok - it was cut from the original development due to time/budget constraints. We resurrected it last year, but decided we didn't have the time to finish it off ourselves - enter Guppy - and now (with a little internal finishing off from Sabu and friends) we finally have Fallen Heroes!

It takes some time for Server Admins to update all of their servers. We have had a number of servers update before the new version was released to all our users, but not all of them have updated yet. Please be patient and the list of servers will grow drastically over the next couple of days.

 

[Pastel]

For some reason it wasn't updating for me. And there were only 4 servers available online, probably because of that.

Good game.
I will say it again, I just love playing Russian Sapper on Fallen Heroes.
Even the bots have a good time .
Thanks.

Which ones in zhitomir are fixed?

The hole overlooking the church?
Or the wall at the first axis spawn?

Sweet! Had a go at the new map tonight, it plays really good, but it takes teamwork to win. The acheivements will be
fun to try, but I dont play that much RO anymore, mostly the mods DH and MN.

Anyway, thanks a bunch TWI!

Try verifying your Game Cache in Steam:

In the My Games Tab, right click on the RO launch icon, select properties, select the local files tab, and clickVerify integrity of game cache.

When you "Verify the Game cache", Steam will update.

If that does not work try deleting your whole RO system folder.

Verify your RO game cache again.

Hope that fixes it

We run two server. Both have the same start orders. One have the achievements Star in the serverlist and the other not.

All updates are the same.

At least the latter I can vouch for
