Welcome Soldier

We hope you've been enjoying 0.12 and want to thank you for all the great feedback we've been receiving. Today we're releasing a hotfix for 0.12 to address some common issues and long standing bugs, but also to introduce a few balance and gameplay changes.

Most notably, we've reworked all Assault layers to include more objectives per sector, but decrease in objective count as the attackers advance through the map. We're looking forward to your feedback.

Additionally, Beyond The Wire is still 50% off during the Steam Summer Sale! Now is a great time to get your friends into the game at a reduced price.

Note for AMD FX CPU users

AMD FX users will have degraded performance due to issues with the audio system. We’re still investigating possible solutions, but here’s a workaround

1. Open following file:

C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\WireGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\Engine.ini

If the file doesn't exist, create it.

2. Add following lines at the end:

[/script/engine.audiosettings] bDisableMasterEQ=True [Audio] bDisableMasterEQ=True
