As part of our improvements to the Sniper Elite 4 Dedicated Server we have added remote web connection support for server administration. By visiting rcon.sniperelite4.com/ you can now connect to your server and view realtime updates, as well as perform a variety of administrative tasks. The web application can also be run offline and is bundled as a stand alone web page.



Features of the web interface include:

• Realtime game status updates
  
• Interactive console input (rcon) and output
  
• View connected players
  
  • Click through to their public Steam profile
    
  • Issue kicks and bans

To enable public RCon support, follow these steps:

• Optionally configure the IP of the network interface to listen on, using RCon.IP <IP address>
  The default is 127.0.0.1 so will only accept local connections.
  
• Optionally configure the port to listen on, using RCon.Port <port>
  The default is port 27080.
  
• Set a password using RCon.Password
  
• Issue the RCon.Listen command to start listening on the configured IP and port

If you have any feedback about this feature please let us know, and happy hunting!

In our first wave of free new content, we're introducing the Elimination game mode. A 2-team mode for up to 12 players, this is last-team-standing with a twist - you can bring back fallen comrades by taking down your enemies. One kill can make all the difference.

We're also releasing our first free MP map, Night Woods.




New Content

• Free Elimination multiplayer mode, available on all existing multiplayer maps.
  
• Free Night Woods multiplayer map, supports all competitive modes including Elimination.
  
• Support for Deathstorm Part 1: Inception and Night Fighter Expansion Pack.
  
• Updated Achievements

Singleplayer

• Applied various Steam controller fixes.
  
• “Drop Down” added to keyboard bindings for remapping.
  
• Ensured saves don’t occur while the player is in mid-air. Also reduced occurrences of saves next to an exploding vehicle.
  
• Vehicles now resume what they were doing previously when restored from a save, and no longer persist with dead targets. Tweaked tank and pillbox vision.
  
• Fixed various weapon glitches and bugs to reduce chances of players or AI having no visible weapon, or weapons held in the wrong pose or using the wrong animation. Picked-up weapons now retain their skin if that was not the base model.
  
• Scope will no longer allow the player to see through various objects.
  
• Fixed binocular reticule glitch in 3D.
  
• Standing in a bush no longer awards a foliage kill. Also improved the detection for various other stats and shot callouts.
  
• Bullet cams in Eyefinity and other super-wide resolutions should no longer zoom in excessively.
  
• AI now slightly less prone to exploitation by player during investigations. Dead bodies more likely to stop AI running into obvious death-traps.
  
• Applied various fixes for corrupt profiles.
  
• Fixed issues with various challenges:
  
  • No Manual Reloading (Allagra Fortress)
    
  • No Tagging (various)
    
  • Melee Ace (Abrunza Monastery)
• Fixed miscellaneous document on Giovi Fiorini Mansion

Multiplayer

• The server browser can now be sorted on any column.
  
• The “Invite” button will now work when connected to dedicated servers.
  
• Dedicated servers will now be included in matchmaking.
  
• Dedicated servers now support remote connections from the Sniper Elite 4 RCON web interface. See our follow up announcement for more details.
  
• Applied various dedicated server fixes.
  
• Ensured Overwatch characters are restored right way round if starting from a save.
  
• Players will be harder to tag through objects.
  
• Applied various out-of-world and collision fixes to reduce exploits on all maps.

We’re still aware that a small number of people are still experiencing corrupt profile issues. To help us with fixing it, if you see a ‘corrupt save’ or ‘corrupt profile’ error on startup, could you immediately Alt-Tab out of the game and backup your save data to send to Customer Support.

New campaign mission and FREE multiplayer add-ons incoming!



The first chapter in DEATHSTORM, a BRAND NEW mini-campaign for SNIPER ELITE®4, launches March 21st, 2017 on PC. It headlines a glut of new content coming to the game on Tuesday, including FREE multiplayer add-ons!

DEATHSTORM PART 1: INCEPTION is the opening chapter and mission in the three-part campaign, playable from start to finish for 1-2 players. Set after the events of the main game, the first chapter takes players to the colder terrain of northern Italy, and a Nazi naval base recently targeted in a bombing run.

With imposing scaffolding, a German destroyer and myriad Kriegsmarine soldiers to negotiate, Karl Fairburne must help finish what the bombing run started. But his primary mission concerns the secret Manhattan Project: To retrieve a critical, mysterious package codenamed Deathstorm...

The new SNIPER ELITE®4 content doesn't end there; The NIGHT FIGHTER EXPANSION PACK also arrives on March 21st, It includes three new weapons, night-time camo rifle skins for eight weapons and new male and female characters skins.

Multiplayer fans, meanwhile, can look forward to ELIMINATION, a brand new mode that also drops on March 21st, and it's FREE.

This two-team mode for up to 12 players is all about trying to whittle down your opponent's numbers. If you kill an enemy player, they're forced to sit out on the sidelines. But if their team kills one of your teammates, they tag back in one of their sidelined comrades. In Elimination, all is not lost, even when you're 1 v 6.

SNIPER ELITE®4 players are getting their first FREE multiplayer map on March 21st too, called NIGHT WOODS. As previously pledged by Rebellion, ALL additional multiplayer maps and modes for the game will be FREE.

Hi everyone!

Here we are, nearly a month after launch. We hope you’ve been enjoying your time in Italia so far, however we’ve still got a LOT of content in the works for Sniper Elite 4! Today we’re thrilled to announce the release date for the game’s first major singleplayer and multiplayer content update and share with you our longer-term schedule for free and paid content!

Remember new Survival missions, multiplayer maps and modes will be FREE for all players.

All paid content will be included in the Season Pass (including Digital Deluxe Editions) or available to buy separately.

Where possible, we aim to release content at the same time on PS4, Xbox One and PC, though there may be some scheduling differences because of the way digital stores work.


Towards the end of March we’ll be releasing not one but TWO big add-ons for the game!

The first is Deathstorm Part 1: Inception, the opening chapter and mission in our BRAND NEW three-part mini-campaign with a completely new storyline for 1-2 players. Look out for more info soon and a first-look trailer!

The second is the Night Fighter Expansion Pack, a value-stuffed content drop featuring three new weapons, night-time camouflage rifle skins for eight weapons, and two new characters.

BUT we also have tons of FREE content arriving around the same time! This month’s freebies include a brand new multiplayer mode called Elimination, in which two teams try to whittle down their opponent’s numbers. If you’re killed you’re forced to sit on the sidelines - but not permanently! If your team kills an opponent player, they get to tag back in one of their sidelined teammates. All may seem lost in Elimination, but all it takes is one kill to turn the tide!

We’ll also introduce a brand new multiplayer map called Night Woods – check out the debut screenshot to whet your appetites!




We know you’re all eager to hear about all the additional content coming to Sniper Elite 4, but we’re still hard at work putting it together! However, today we’d like to give you an idea of what to expect and when, so here’s the roadmap for the next few months:

• Deathstorm Part 2: Infiltration campaign mission
  
• Urban Assault Expansion Pack featuring new male and female character, 8 camo rifle skins and 3 new weapons
  
• FREE new multiplayer map: “Urban”
  
• FREE new multiplayer mode
  
• FREE new Survival mission (playable solo or in 2-4 player co-op)

• Deathstorm Part 3: Obliteration campaign mission
  
• Cold Warfare Expansion Pack featuring new male and female character, 8 camo rifle skins and 3 new weapons
  
• Lock and Load Weapons Pack featuring 3 new weapons.
  
• 2 x FREE new multiplayer maps: “Fortress” and “Bunker”
  
• FREE new Survival mission (playable solo or in 2-4 player co-op)

And on top of this we’re continuing to take on board your feedback and bring out patches to improve your Sniper Elite 4 experience.

To get in touch, head to our Support Page, Twitter or Facebook!

Thank you!
