Hey guys, we have a small batch of fixes since we've spent a lot of this week experimenting with the connection issues mentioned in our last update and also laying the framework for our next gamemode.

This update will require servers to be updated. Server owners should restart their servers. Soon we will introduce an automated live version check so this is an easier process, but until then it will need to be done manually.

  • Tickets should now properly display on 16:10

  • A very small amount of you are experiencing a bug where the player customization menu stays up when you join a server, this is still being investigated but it should be fixed enough to allow you to join a server. If you still experience this, delete cc.set in the Blackwake root folder and then validate the game files through Steam.

We're hoping next week we will have good news in regards to the connection issues, and also a possible glimpse of the next mode!

More permanent low FPS on high end rig ingame fixes:
nVidia control panel
- Threaded optimization swith it to OFF
- Shader Cache switch it to OFF
- Vsync ingame to ON

Voip crashing the game on use or causing issues by turning you into a robot/garbling
- Try and uncheck the two exclusive mode ticked boxes down below in this menu http://i.imgur.com/OI84448.png


Blackwake now has forums for Clans and Events if you aren't a fan of Steam/Discord/Reddit.

Hey guys, no patch notes for today :(. We've mostly been spending Saturday noting reports and sorting what we should update next. But we do have an update on one of our current issues.


Although the majority of you are playing fine, there is a very small subset of users experiencing some of the issues mentioned in this thread: http://steamcommunity.com/app/420290/discussions/2/133258092245256356/

We are not okay with this, and we are now in contact and working with a Unity developer on this issue. We will hopefully begin to see some progress soon. Blackwake uses WakeNet, a high level networking system we built above the UNet transport layer. We reached a point where errors from the transport layer were no longer giving us useful information, causing a stall on this issue. There is still no known workaround and we sincerely apologize for that.

Quick batch of fixes for you guys


Server owners should update their servers, some changes under the hood were made.



- Fixed issue where U and I keys could interrupt chat while typing

- Fixed various issues with refreshing the server list

- Tickets should now properly be visible at 21:9

- Headshot overlay and blood overlay should display correctly at 21:9

- Muting a player (scoreboard > click > mute) will also mute their character voice

- Server owners can now populate ServerAnnouncements.txt to display in the chatbox

- Fixed error that could cause the customization menu to persist into the game

- T key can now be rebound (listed as 'Free Mouse')

- Server history tab added

- Fixed issue where those playing with controllers could not turn left or right without exiting the wheel


We want to remind you guys that we will be moving on to content soon, but it's important to us that we fix as many bugs as we can before doing so. We would like as many people to experience our updates as possible once we get to that stage.

We are actively investigating connection issues, keep updated here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/420290/discussions/2/133258092245256356/

Alright guys, we have another small batch of changes today:

- We've attempted to make 21:9 more playable with a quick fix, please let us know (you may need to restart the game after setting it)

- Fixed an issue that would cause the friends list to slow to a crawl or even crash

- Esc menu during weapon select will no longer leave you mouseless

- Y, U, I chatbox buttons can now be re assigned

- Changed the way server favorites are loaded for speed

- Server owners can now use the useIp= config line

- Server owners can now specify a target config file using the command line '-configFile File.cfg' You can use the Unity command -logFile <pathname> mentioned here if you're running multiple servers. Keep in mind for the time being this may cause issues with the auto restarter.

- You can now join servers from the Steam server list (Steam > view > servers, filter Blackwake) while the game is open


In other news and by popular request, we went ahead and released the Blackwake Official Soundtrack composed by Garrett Beelow. You can grab it here to support him for his excellent work: http://store.steampowered.com/app/594184
