Hey Runners!

In RWR, you have been told that you are just one among thousands.
That may have been true until today with the Man vs. World mode! This time you're completely on your own, with nothing but your wits and tenacity to win you through.
You've got only one life, no respawning - yes, that's permadeath! The enemies follow the same rule, so at least there's a hypothetical chance for you to make it...
There is also a "Veteran" difficulty with FoV activated for those who want to push the challenge to an extreme!
Find the mode in the campaign start menu, check it out and see how far you can get!



And that's not all, Runners! The update features a new 3-faction map called Iron Enclave in Online Invasion!
You'll find a lot of vehicles, flanking enemies and other interesting surprises in this brand new map!

Hey Runners,

we wanted to wait a bit longer with the next update but there was a critical bug in the campaign, where you spawned dead in the Vigil Island map after comming back to it. For those concerned, if you want to continue your savegame on this map, you'll have to enter "/warp 0" in the ingame chat to load another map, then "/warp 7" to come back to Vigil Island again.

In this update we also added some more modding support, e.g. you can now have a faction that can't pick up items or interact with the equipment. This was done for the mod "Running with the dead" to have the infected faction to be playable in the next mod update later tonight.
We could also see mods like "Alien vs. Predator" to be possible now that this is implemented. So if any modders are interested, just go for it! ;)

Here is a complete list of the latest changes:

• campaign: fixed spawn dead issue after winning Vigil Island map and coming back again at a later stage
  
• maps: minor fixes here and there
  
• modding: added faction awareness also for blast result, e.g. faction_compare="any" (default) or "equal" or "not_equal"
  
• modding: added character class parameter "can_use_inventory"
  
• modding: added character class parameter "can_use_vehicles"
  
• modding: externalized character class parameter "wounded_auto_death_time"
  
• modding: added character class parameter "reaction_time_after_choosing_target"
  
• AI: added a short reaction time delay for the AI combat in vanilla, slightly helps when popping up around e.g. a building corner
  
• dominance: suicide time (by holding stab key) raised from 3 seconds (vanilla) to 6 seconds to avoid punishment dodge abusing
  
• fov: fixed online synchronization equipping a weapon out of fov
  
• characters: fixed standing behing a deployed cover not facing the right direction after being crouched first
