Welcome Soldiers!

Our latest hotfix is out and brings some fixes and changes to update 0.14 that released last week.

Gameplay

Changes

• MG-08/15 changes on round dispersion
• Sniper rifle utility was enhanced by improving dispersion and velocity
• Relaxed placement rules on all deployables to address player frustration when placing on uneven or bumpy terrain (this may go too far in the other direction and allow emplacements too much freedom for placement but this is a better problem to us than how frustrating they are to place currently, we’ll revisit placement rules when we have time in the future to achieve a better solution)

Fixes

• Fixed Jager engineer officer ability to use field guns
• Combles Assault FR vs GER missing spawns and sector configuration was fixed
• Fixed number of rifle grenades being inconsistent with how many are displayed on the role info

Art

Fixes

• Early war Germans fixed from having skull decal on pickelhaube

UI

Fixes

• Removed Section Leader HUD icons from the bottom left of the screen as system is not yet fully functional

Maps

Changes

• Zonnebeke Assault layers - first sector adjusted so defenders cannot push too far forward of their first defense objective
• Combles Assault layers (GER attacking) - first sector adjusted so defenders cannot push too far forward of their first defense objective
• Vimy Assault layers (Entente attacking) - first sector adjusted so defenders cannot push too far forward of their first defense objective

Fixes

• Fixed some bad sector names on Vimy Ridge and Sechault layers
• Zonnebeke Assault JAG vs BEF fixed the wrong year being displayed
• Various fixes on CEF vs GER & FR vs GER Vimy Ridge assault layers

Optimization / General Fixes

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
