The post Update 1.17 Operation: Resurgence – Hotfix #1 appeared first on New World Interactive.

Hello again soldiers!

Welcome to the release notes for Update 1.17 Operation: Resurgence! The leaves are bare, the smell of snow is in the air, and if you’re anything like us you’ve already eaten enough snacks to incapacitate a small herd of reindeer. What better way to celebrate this holiday season than another major update from the military FPS that just won’t quit! (You may have said, “presents that I asked for.” or even “spending time with my loved ones.” but we’ve crunched the numbers and it turns out this update is the best way.)

GLOBAL CROSSPLAY!

Buckle up folks, it’s happening, CROSSPLAY IS HERE! It’s been a long time coming and we are incredibly happy to be rolling this feature out to you! So, without further ado let’s get to the explaining part because we’re sure you have a lot of questions!

What is crossplay?

Well you see, when two people love each other very much, sometimes they……what’s that? Oh not the…..uh-huh…..ok right. Got it. AS WE WERE SAYING, crossplay is a new feature that will allow PSN, Xbox Live, and PC players to play together!

How does it work?

Starting with Update 1.17 Operation: Resurgence you will see a “Matchmaking settings” option in place of the “Region settings” option. By selecting it, you will have the following options to choose from:

1. Your preferred input device from your connected devices (Mouse & Keyboard or Gamepad).
2. An option to either enable or disable crossplay.
3. An option to match with players using different input devices.
4. Your selected regions.

Once you’ve filled in your matchmaking settings, you will be matched according to your chosen options!

For more information see our handy-dandy crossplay FAQ!

The post Update 1.16 Operation: Crisis – Release Notes appeared first on New World Interactive.

Hello Soldiers, 

Spring has sprung, the sun is shining, and the birds and autocannons are singing! We have noticed a build-up of questions among the community lately, so we want to clear some things up and touch on what’s approaching on the horizon. 

ONGOING DEVELOPMENT AND SUPPORT

There is some confusion in the community regarding Insurgency: Sandstorm’s current development status and the game’s future. Let’s clear some of this up! We can confirm that nothing has changed in terms of the level of support that Sandstorm is receiving. We are actively working on the game, and in fact, there are several people on the team who have been on the title for many years now, including Jeroen the Game Design Director, Mark W. the Audio Director, Sgt. Slaughterer your Community Manager, and Player Support wizards Bravo & Nyko! Together, we have many things on the horizon that we hope you are just as excited for as we are, so let’s get into it!

HOTFIX 2

So, our recent “small” hotfix was, as it turns out, not so small and we realized this was confusing. The size of the update was larger than intended due to a change in infrastructure combined with the way UE4 handles paks. Hotfix 2 addresses a few issues players have been complaining about, but it was primarily meant to set the stage and prepare for the arrival of Update 1.16. Which leads us to….

UPDATE 1.16 OPERATION: CRISIS

Update 1.16 is still targeting a spring release (and yes, it is still spring! The official last day of spring is June 20th)! We know that the community (hey, that’s you!) is chomping at the bit for new content and information but we’re not ready to reveal what it will contain. You can expect something more than just guns and skins this time around, though it will definitely have those too!

CROSSPLAY

Ah yes, the long-awaited crossplay. Often spoken of in the same breath as Loch Ness and Bigfoot, it’s getting closer to becoming a reality. As it stands now, we’re targeting it for inclusion in Update 1.17, but this is subject to change.

While we can’t quite do a deep dive on crossplay yet, we can touch on a few of the more common questions we see about what the functionality will look like!

Q. Will crossplay feature input-based matchmaking?

A. Yes! Our intention is for it to feature input-based matchmaking that you can opt in or out of.

Q. Will ALL platforms be able to play together? 

A. Yes! 

Q. Will I have to use crossplay? 

A. No, it will be an opt-in feature. If you prefer to only play with players on the same platform as you, you will still be able to do that.

We know you’ve all been waiting patiently for crossplay! Unsurprisingly, increasing the number of platforms the game is supported on, from one to seven, has come with a whole slew of unforeseen kinks to iron out. We’re approaching the finish line with this feature and can’t wait to finally roll it out to you!

UPCOMING LIGHTING ADJUSTMENTS

We don’t have a hard date yet for when we will push these changes to the live game, but we’ve been tweaking the lighting on a few maps to improve visibility in shadowy/dimly lit areas! We’re testing and monitoring these changes to ensure they don’t adversely affect performance. If all goes well, we may look at the other maps to see if there are similar opportunities for improvement.

As of now, we are working on changes to the following three maps/layouts:

LTGM & XP EVENTS

Give us your feedback HERE!

Limited-time game modes and XP events are handled by the community team and provided to the players so that we don’t go dark between the major updates. We’ve seen the sentiment that some of you would rather have new content than these events, but rest assured, these two things are unconnected. That said, we’re open to suggestions!

LOOKING FORWARD: UPDATE 1.17 & BEYOND

While we can’t talk much about what the specific content of the upcoming updates are just yet, we can confirm major updates 1.16, 1.17, and 1.18 are still coming, and we’re putting a focus on quality of life fixes for 1.17, many of which have been pulled from community requests. Some of the fixes coming in 1.17 include:

• Fixed an issue where a player’s ammo carrier and armor could disappear from the character model when he is in the vehicle in online game modes.
• Fixed an issue a player’s gloved hand obstructs the sight picture when using AS Val with loading grip
• Fixed an issue where optics with multiple zoom levels get lens tinted after switching ADS mode while aiming in Picture In Picture mode
• Fixed an issue where when using the A10 call-in, some of the rounds will instead explode at the origin point of the map (0,0)
• Fixed an issue where the player could fall out of the map on Outskirts
• Enabled Chaos Vehicles & the Water Plugin for the release build of the game to allow mods that uses them to function properly
• Fixed an issue where the exhaust trail for the Rocket Barrage is rotated 90 degrees
• Fixed an issue where the restricted zone covers the unrestricted zone on Crossing (Push Insurgents)
• And more!

A word from Jeroen, the Game Design Director:

“As we continue development, we’re thrilled to share that we’re working on a new level from scratch for a future update. Instead of just writing about it, here’s an exclusive sneak peek at an early concept of the map. We hope you’re as excited as we are to see this map come to fruition and can’t wait to share more in the future!”

-Jeroen

THANK YOU

Well, that brings us to the end of this post, but before we sign off we want to extend a great big thank you to the community for your ongoing support and feedback. Sandstorm is five years old now and we know that’s a testament to the community’s passion for the series. Your support means everything to the team and we look forward to releasing future updates, fixes and improvements! See you in the field soldiers!

The post STATE OF SANDSTORM appeared first on New World Interactive.

Hello Soldiers! 

Let’s go full steam ahead and address the elephant in the room here: Update 1.16 is on schedule to release in the Spring and this hotfix is meant to clear the station for its arrival! Hotfix #2 is laying the metaphorical tracks for Update 1.16 to roll into its destination. This means this hotfix is lighter than previous hotfixes in terms of player-facing issues being resolved.

Resolved Issues:

• All: Fixed an issue where bullet holes weren’t displaying correctly

• All: Fixed an issue where bullet holes would disappear on certain surfaces

• All: Fixed an issue where player reports were not functioning correctly

• Console: Fixed an issue where the scenario vote screen could crash

• Console: Fixed an issue where players could be unable to change the controller layout

• PS: Fixed an issue where the “Party Lobby” text in the party invitation window was displayed incorrectly

Just a small note about crossplay: We see a lot of people asking about this feature and whether we are still working on it/when it might be coming. The answer is a resounding YES we are still working on this, and while we don’t have more information for you yet, we will be able to start talking about that in more detail soon!

The post Update 1.15 Operation: Onslaught – Release Notes appeared first on New World Interactive.

Once upon a time, New World Interactive was a small team of passionate modders dreaming of creating something special together. Thirteen years later, and golly, did we ever! Several critically acclaimed games later, we’re incredibly proud of what we have achieved so far.

None of this would have been possible without the support of our fantastic community and dedicated teams, past and present, and for that, we thank you. We are deeply grateful for your trust in us and the countless hours of fun and excitement we have shared together.

20 million mod.io downloads!

Flash forward to now; we continue to update Insurgency: Sandstorm (Operation: Accolade launched this month!), and we hit the incredible milestone of 20 million mod downloads on mod.io.

Can you believe it? From mod to modded.

Here’s an example of two unique maps created by our community: 

Highlands 

A picturesque cold, snowy map set in a valley in the mountains, Highlands, has 364k downloads. One side of the map is home to a scenic frozen lake, the other, a shanty town. Separating the spawns is a forest. This map has many game modes and supports day and night!

TORO

TORO has surpassed all others with over 820k downloads, making it the most downloaded user-created map to date. Players can enjoy many game modes as they explore this alluring town fighting through the streets and buildings. Supporting day and night modes, Toro is a must-try!

Download these maps and more at the dedicated Insurgency: Sandstorm page on mod.io.

Looking Forward

Thank you for being a part of our journey so far; we can’t wait to see what the future holds, so here’s to many more amazing years with New World Interactive!
