Greetings Kingslayers!

We have a small Hotfix to tide you over before our release on August 26th.

• Skirmish victory give full XP (as if you killed all enemies) like multiplayer.
  
• Resigned games should now give XP as if the player who didn’t resign won.
  
• Fixed issue where players only levelled up after passing the XP required for a level, not if they landed on it
  
• Fix a visual issue in results screen where sometimes the players XP starting level/xp during the count up was in fact based of their new total XP, not the XP from the start of the match - so the values were to high.
  
• Resigned games should now gives XP as if the player who didn’t resign won.

• Fixed all the issues with abilities re-locking and the incorrect number of available skill points being displayed.

• Fixed issue where offline players would be unable to continue at the end of a campaign match.

• Fixed a crash that occurred only when drawing a match against a random opponent

• Fix for a crash that could occur if friends online status changed exactly as you start loading into a level.

• Multiplayer menu exception has been fixed. Hopefully this means the issue for some players that have been unable to start matches is now fixed, but we've been unable to reproduce this issue to be able to confirm, so further testing is required.
  
• Offline XP is now saved

Thanks for taking the time to read our update notes. If you ever want to contact the dev team - we're always here to listen. Email us using - social@hammerfallpublishng.com

See you on the battlefield!

Hi Kingslayers!

The newest Update 1.3 for Warhammer 40,000: Regicide is officially live!
Armour Tiers are now available as well as new sound effects have been added so that Boltgun fire sounds just as devastating as it should and best of all the battlefield remains bloodier for longer.



A plethora of new unit and player abilities have been added in this update in an effort to make the Space Marines and Orks more diverse and play very differently. The Orks now behave more like a mob of animalistic hooligans, their abilities having a chance to be a detriment rather than a boon whereas the Space Marines now act as an army of heroes.

This update also includes the Beta version of the Armoury. This means the XP you earn from now on will be persistent and recorded. When you level up you will earn points to spend on unlocking abilities to customize the way you play, you can unlock and assign skills within the armoury.



Finally, we are very excited to announce the first Act of the Campaign where you can finally meet Captain Dracomedes and Librarian Baldassar as they hunt the vile Orks on Hethgar Prime! The first act contains ten lovingly crafted missions that show the Captain’s vicious hunt of the Orks and the Weirdboy Zugtoof.

If you've not yet purchased the game it is available in Early Access through the Steam Store here for Windows. We hope you enjoy playing this game as much as we enjoy working on it!

We are still only part way through our journey in Early Access, we're currently working on the Armoury, XP & Leveling, Objectives, Language support, and a few more items too.




We're going to be playing some games, giving away some loot and answering your questions LIVE next week!

Join us as we battle it out Hotseat-style, show off the new forces, chat to the devs live, and possibly even get a public game in too! Are you up to the challenge?

Early Access Update 1.2 goes public on Monday, and it's the biggest one yet.

See you on the Battlefield!

We’re excited to finally announce our first update to Early Access!

Since we went live on May 4th, we’ve been taking in hundreds of suggestions, support requests and wishlists - and have added many of them to our own roadmap. This forum is just a drop compared to the long emailed lists of detailed requests coming through our support link, but we appreciate every bit. We've been online quite a lot! The organic process of taking in your feedback and treating it seriously is really important to us.

There have been a few background account and text related fixes along the way that you might have noticed in your Steam Library, but didn't necessarily notice in-game.

Our development roadmap is a constantly evolving beast, but with this first round of suggested features, bugfixes and updates we’re one step closer to landing the exciting single-player campaign and extra content features. We have tried our best to prioritise what you want - where we can achieve it - and there’s plenty more to come!

Updates:

NOTE - The in-game build notes refer to 4K compatibility. 3840x2160 is not currently available. This note is an error that will be resolved in the next patch. 2560x1440 has been added and 10:16 up to 2560x1600 is also UI-supported.

UI:
- 16:10 Support for UI overlay
- New in-game ESC Menu graphics
- Exiting/resigning from a multiplayer match no longer tells you that your save will be deleted.
- Tooltips added to unit statistic displays.
- ‘Friends’ (Battle Brothers) functionality implemented

Balance Tweaks:
- Base ranged to-hit chance increased to 40, increasing overall chance to hit with ranged attacks.
- Armour of Contempt and Orks! Orks! Orks! cooldown increased from 4 to 5
- Assail and Squig Bomb cooldown increased from 5 to 6

Audio:
- Added fanfares in the Results splash screen
- Many updated capture sounds
- Snap Shot shield impact sounds added

Animation and VFX:
- Fixed ‘enemy unknown bug’ (hits could visually miss, misses could hit)
- Bullet anti-magnet makes determined misses actually miss their target.
- Bullet magnet improved to avoid visual misses when a hit is determined.
- Units no longer flinch if a shot misses.

Multiplayer:

- Can now directly challenge friends from the dropdown in the match setup page
- - Known issue:
- - - X button functionality/dialogues currently display same messages regardless of whether you are the sender or receiver of a challenge

Codex Engine:
- Critical chance is now additive rather than factorial. It is no longer dependent on the attacker’s skill or the opponent’s toughness, and all units have a base chance of zero.
- Fixed ‘Skynet bug’ - Regicide AI self-awareness bug at higher difficulties has been fixed; the advent of the Dark Age of Technology has potentially been thwarted.

General Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a crash on replaying a Skirmish game against Novice AI
- Enemy killcams now work correctly if player killcams are disabled but enemy cameras are enabled.
- Space Marine and Ork Pawns no longer trigger two death reports when killed by Snap Shot.
- Crash no longer occurs when selecting a piece then restarting the Regicide Tutorial

- Space Marine Rook no longer fires into the ground at the end of the Snap Shot ability
Ork Rook no longer has incorrect unit abilities
- Weather effects are no longer doubled during killcams
- Skipping the Snap Shot animation no longer causes the unit to slide very slightly in the direction it fired in
- Skipping the Space Marine Queen vs. Ork Pawn killcam in the Regicide Tutorial no longer causes the Queen to teleport to one square away for the attack and walk slowly to the Pawn’s square
- Space Marine Queen no longer walks to the adjacent tile before attacking in ranged captures
- Players can no longer press Esc to open the Pause menu during the King vs. King animations, or while on the Results screen

Resolutions:
- Support for four popular 16:10 resolutions added.
- The game no longer allows resolutions larger than supported by detected monitors.
- Added 2560x1440 (16:9) and 2560x1600 (16:10)
- - Known issues:
- - - Regicide Tutorial menu buttons can be pressed in some states - doing so will hang the tutorial
- - - Matches panel in the Multiplayer menu is larger
- - - Results screen may be slightly cut off on either side
- - - Letterbox effect disappears after completing a Tutorial and returning to the Training menu

Try out the new features, try to break them, and let us know how you go! If you’d like to send us feedback about anything you find, you can use support@hammerfallpublishing.com to contact us directly.
