Changelog:

  • Resolved an issue preventing players from unlocking achievements if the Cheats Menu had been accessed, but no cheats were used.
  • Resolved some graphical glitches in the Lucky Ganesh.
  • Added a new Stats Clipboard item that allows players to view their current game stats at any time. (The Stats Clipboard will not show up in existing saves; players must start a new game to receive the item.)

Linux Workshop Coming Soon!
Community Announcements - freakyforest
Race the Sun includes the Simplex World Creator for making your own custom worlds, and we are in the process of adding Steam Workshop support. With Workshop you will be able to rate and play other player-created worlds, as well as share your own. We will also be tying the in-game world portals (the big green ones) to the best user-created worlds! When this is all set up, flying into a portal could take you anywhere!

Soon we will be opening up a beta version with Workshop support, so be on the lookout for that announcement.

We are also finishing up the Linux version of Race the Sun for Steam - just a few bugs to work out and it will be ready.

Thank you all for your thoughts and feedback as we update, fix and improve Race the Sun!

This Weekend: Solstice Prize Boxes, and Double Drops in Grinchlin Assault!
Community Announcements - Spiral HQ


Hail, Knights!

Whether it's winter or summer where you're stationed, it's time for the solstice! Accordingly, from now through the end of December 23rd, 2013, the Haven Treasury is offering you a Solstice Prize Box for every $9.95 spent on select energy purchases.

In these boxes, you may find the following shinies:
  • Variant Tickets
  • Crest of Summer / Crest of Winter
  • Sunshine Aura
  • Snowfall Aura
  • Crown of Winter / Crown of Summer
Also, each Solstice Prize Box also includes at least one Summer Confetti and one Winter Confetti item, plus a bonus chance of producing a Bucket of Snowballs for you and your friends to share!

For the nitty gritty, step right this way.

IN ADDITION, we are declaring a Double Drop Weekend for the Grinchlin Assault prestige mission! Materials will drop at twice the rate all weekend in this mission, so if you've been coveting the Humbug Hazer, the Deadly Candy Poker, the Jack Froster, the Nog Blaster, or the Scalding Hot Cocoa, now's a great time to go for it.

The CoH2 community embraces Steam Workshop
Community Announcements - Relic_Noun
Steam Workshop

 

When we added the ability for Company of Heroes 2 map creators to share their maps with other players through the Steam Workshop we knew that it was going to produce some cool results.  We weren't disappointed with hundreds of maps being uploaded within days, some of them with the sort of quality that our own maps have.

But while we expected to see some cool stuff, we didn't know just how the community would embrace these new maps.  Here are some fascinating numbers from the first week and a half of the Company of Heroes 2 Steam Workshop.
  • 331 (and rising): community maps uploaded

  • 15%: percentage of daily matches played on user created maps

  • 25%: percentage of daily multiplayer matches played on user created maps

  • 18.3%: percentage of Company of Heroes 2 players who have played on at least one community map

The early response to the work of our community has been outstanding, and we're excited to see even more high quality fan made maps make it into the Steam Workshop.

We're thankful to everyone who has created a map for the game, and to all of those players who have played on these fantastic new maps.

If you haven't yet had a chance to play a fan made map, access the Steam Workshop from the main menu of CoH2 and browse the selection. Steam Workshop makes it easy to add the maps right into CoH2, where they can be played in custom matches.
