Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad with Rising Storm - [TW]Ramm-Jaeger
This patch addresses the following:

  • Refined gameplay, balance, and cover on map OtoriShimi
  • Fixes for server crash hacks/exploits
  • Fixes for hit detection hacks/exploits
  • When players are vote kicked from a server they are now session banned and cannot return immediately
  • Added a new setting to allow server admins to tune the minimum kick votes required to kick a player from the server. This can be found here in ROGame.ini:

    [ROGame.ROVoteCollector]
    MaxKickVotesNeeded=10


  • Added a setting in ROGame.ini to allow server admins to prevent users that have a VAC ban in any game from being able to join their server. This is defaulted to off. The settings can be found here:
    [ROGame.ROSteamUserBanned]
    KickForVACBan=false
    KickForVACBanNum=0
    To enable this setting set KickForVACBan=false. If KickForVACBanNum=0 then players with any VAC bans at all will be kicked from the server. If KickForVACBanNum is set to 2 or greater than that will be the number of VAC bans the user can have in any game before being kicked. The recommended setting to ensure no VAC banned users can join your server is:

    [ROGame.ROSteamUserBanned]
    KickForVACBan=true
    KickForVACBanNum=0

There is additional unlisted hack/exploit prevention in this update, but due to the nature of hacking we will not be going into detail on those items. If you encounter any unusual issues with this update please report it on the RO2 support forums here:

For those of you who have joined us via the RO 2 (Free forever promotion from last Wednesday, the 23rd) or just from the Rising Storm free weekend (which ended last night), thanks!

A few notes (as we have noticed confusion on the subject):

1) If you got Red Orchestra 2 for Free, you still have full access to it (keep it forever). However the Rising Storm content (Pacific theater, Japanese vs United States) you will only have limited access to until you purchase Rising Storm (it is still on sale for another hour). http://store.steampowered.com/app/234510/

2) For those who picked up Rising Storm for the free weekend, you missed the promotion period for RO 2 for Free, and you will need to pick up Rising Storm to continue playing the game (once again still on sale for another hour). Rising Storm comes with the full RS and RO 2 multiplayer environment. http://store.steampowered.com/app/234510/

And a general note:

The game you want to install is the "Rising Storm/Red Orchestra 2 Multiplayer" application. The two beta applications are used to test future updates with the community.

We hope everybody had a great weekend! (And don't forget to grab an extra copy or 2 of RS to give to your friends!)
