Greetings Bierzerkers! In the 1.05 we will be limiting our official servers to US West. However, we have added the ability for you to launch a local dedicated server directly from inside the game. After the server starts it will be accessible to anyone through the server browser as long as you have opened the proper ports on your router. Forward your router ports: 7788-7789 27028 15008 for both TCP/UDP.

We have also added the ability to launch the game over LAN without connecting to servers on Steam. The local dedicated server functionality works over LAN as well without the need to open any of the router ports. After the server has launched it will show up for anyone on your local network.

With these changes we have updated the way progression is stored. It now has the ability to be updated to store progression both online and offline so all of your unlocks will be available to you whether you are playing on Steam or over a LAN.

Long time no chat. When we set out to develop Bierzerkers our goal was to build a light-hearted and fun multi-player game to enjoy with friends. But making video games is hard, and we’re still struggling to find the right business model to help us continue development and give you guys a great experience. With that in mind, here’s some information about upcoming changes:

As of now, we have removed the in-game DLC locks on all the characters, making the game content free, temporarily.

On 11/21 the new business will take effect, $4.99 box price for the entire game, no more locked characters!

Anyone who has paid for DLC or has the game currently downloaded and installed on 11/21 will receive a free license. So tell your friends to get on and play between now and 11/21.

Aside from business model, our next biggest issue is crashes and performance problems. These will take some time but we are working to address these as well.

In closing, I want to thank all the players who have contributed to the community on the forums, submitted reviews (positive and negative) and logged in to play. It's been an amazing experience of both joy and heartache, and I still love doing it. Please continue to stop by, and kill each other in Brewhalla.
