Upcoming Changes for Launch
Note: this section is easier for Alpha testers to understand, though we hope it provides some clarity on our general progress towards our launch build for those who haven’t had the opportunity to test out Chivalry 2 prior to the Closed Beta.
Since March 2020 we’ve run regular Alpha Rounds to tweak and test Chivalry 2 as we’ve moved through its development. We have continued gathering bugs and collecting valuable feedback after every alpha round, and this has directly translated into a ton of fixes on the way for launch. While many won’t be making an appearance in the closed beta, we are making great progress polishing the brutal but magnificent world of Chivalry 2.
Instead of making you wait to see what we’re polishing, we have a teaser list of improvements in progress for launch. This doesn’t encompass everything (in fact, this is a pretty bite sized appetizer), but instead offers a sample of the hundreds of changes you can expect for June 8th:
- Improved hit detection consistency
- Continued combat balance
- Threading improvements in Direct X 11, giving a good boost to framerate
- Improved server connection experience
- Hitching fixes
- Fixes for blank map loads and unexpected character meshes on spawn
- Player movement smoothening
- Improved initial spawn experience
- Party experience improvements
- Localization polish
- Tutorial polish and bug fixing
- Improved moderation systems
- Continued map balance
- More customization options
- Skippable splash screens on open
- Saving preferred subclass preferences on initial spawns
- Controller haptics improvements
- Console polish across all platforms
- Lots more!
