Known issues

• 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

• Combat Record / Personal statistics do currently not display the scores correctly
• Personal awards are not granted correctly
• Damage radius of field cannons will sometimes cause players to not be killed immediately
• Some surfaces do not show impact effects. Damage should still apply
• No. 20 Rifle Grenade uses placeholder sounds
• Switching Audio quality in the options menu will cause a crash when connected to a server or when playing on the Shooting Range. Please restart the game to prevent that from happening.
• VOIP widget role icon is not being displayed correctly
• Infantry section members will see a SL ability icon in the bottom left screen
• M1895 “Potato Digger” is called M1985 “Potato Digger”
• Shooting Range for CEF vs GER loads HHF vs GER instead
• Ansoncourt underground bunkers have lighting issues
• Deploying LMG bipods on walls while prone can lead to players teleporting under the map
