    Rising Storm 2: Vietnam 2018 Christmas Event


    Green Army Men Christmas Event

    Ho! Ho! Ho! Tis' the season to round up your little army men soldiers and set them up in the house! Tripwire Interactive and Antimatter Games and the Green Army Men mod team are proud to bring you a brand new event for the holiday season!

    As a special thank-you to everyone who has played the game, we're delighted to bring you the Green Army Men Christmas Special, free to everyone who owns Rising Storm 2: Vietnam, produced by the Green Army Men Team that won the Vietnam Modding Contest earlier this year!

    While the base game is completely unaffected, you will be able to jump into the new Christmas-themed map, from an extra option on the main menu (see below for instructions). As a break from the brutal, gritty battlefields of Vietnam, come home to play as plastic toy soldiers on the living room floor, through to the first week of January 2019. If you need an extra incentive, you'll earn a special seasonal M1 helmet for playing, that you can keep forever.

    This event runs from December 11th to January 7th with 2XP enabled.

    Notice strange text in a few locations while playing the map?

    Users who were subscribed to the original Green Army Men mod and are now playing the XMAS event version will have outdated English localization files instead of the new ones. You may see incorrect information in the following locations:

    Commander ability descriptions
    Team descriptions
    MP40 and Thompson names

    To correct this, browse to the following locations on your computer:
    • Documents\My Games\Rising Storm 2\ROGame\Config
    • Documents\My Games\Rising Storm 2\ROGame\Localization\INT
    • Documents\My Games\Rising Storm 2\ROGame\Cache\1407791873


    If you see files relating to the Green Army Men Mod in these locations, you will want to delete those files and then restart the game. It should automatically populate those locations with the up to date content.

    Additional Fixes
    Base Game
    • Character Lighting
      • Improved character and vehicle transitions between character light samples
    • Materials
      • PBR materials in game now correctly use specular on lightmapped surfaces
      • Fix for the Out of Sync custom content error for custom content on the workshop.


    As always, thank you for your continued support and feedback!

    New Super Sonic crack sound effect as well? Brilliant. Love this game guys, keep up the incredible work! Also, distant gunshots seem very silent and non immersive i cannot tell who's shooting and where from, if there's anyway you guys could add a slide-bar for the Gunshot/SFX sounds or just boost the overall volume that would be incredible! Again thank you for listening to your community and thank you for you're immensely hard work!
