BattleBit Remastered - See12Run

What would you like to play?

Community Servers

For the past month, we've been developing a customization interface for community servers, starting from scratch.

What does it mean to you? (as a player)

If you experienced cases where you wanted to play a specific gamemode, map or wanted the game to be slower/faster, maybe with a different ruleset, it's your time to use the server browser for it's intended purpose.

You can also find some community server posts in ⁠our Discord
If you are interested in hosting your own server with your own rules, we will open applications soon once again, check ⁠community-hosting.

This is our first true rollout of community servers, and you can expect more addtions, improvements, changes in the future as we develop this feature further.

Update 2.0.0: Universal Healing, Map Reworks, New Vehicle & more!

BattleBit Remastered - See12Run

A little bit of this, a little bit of that.

Our latest update brings a wealth of changes to improve your time in BattleBit Remastered. While some may seem overdue, it was very important to us that we take our time with aspects that may alter the core gameplay. We poured over all of your feedback constantly, to provide what we hope you will find as healthy additions to the game. In short, you can expect faster progression, an additional healing method available to all classes, TWO new map reworks and further polish/bug fixes. We've also made major progress with our Community Server API and will expand our testing as we lead up to a larger rollout of access.

v2.0.0 Patch Notes

GENERAL PLAYER UI / UX

Game will no longer auto lock squads when a party member reserves a squad for their party to join, instead, a non party member will be forced change squad (with their role) if the reserved party squad is full while a party member is joining to server.
Improved detection for targeting downed players to bandage/revive.
A bug where player's armors & body does not sync when player is standing still and client loads their object for first time until they move - fixed.
When a player shoots at a mine/C4/claymore, the shooter will take ownership for the explosion, as if they owned the mine/C4/claymore. Previously, ownership remained with the person who deployed the mine, even when someone else shot at it. This led to instances where shooting a friend's claymore/mine would kill them.
Players will no longer be allowed to place mine/claymore under water

PROGRESSION/XP IMPROVEMENTS

Progression curve will ease after level 15 to keep consistent time to level up.
- This is intended to decrease the time commitment and XP required to reach level 200 on average.
Empty transport/boat vehicles will no longer give points when destroyed.
XP Score Event added: Destroying enemy c4/mine/claymore will give a hitmarker and additional XP

CLANS

Clan submissions will open with requirements of minimum Prestige 1.
Used clan invites persisting once used from clan invite list has been fixed.
The issue where the 100 clan invite limitation included expired invites has been fixed.

UNIVERSAL HEALING

Bandages now apply self-heal, even when bleeding, gaining +40 HP for each bandage used. This applies to all classes.

- You cannot heal other players by bandaging, it remains the same as before, you can only stop bleeding or revive, but it will not heal them, only the Medic can heal OTHER players with their Medkit Gadget.

APC receives 2x damage from the rear
Tanks & APCs - Upon firing, resupply cooldown will reset to 60 seconds to avoid player supplying & firing same time.
When players return to base for repair, the driver/pilot will also be healed. Exiting the vehicle is no longer neccesary, which should reduce cases of vehicle hijacking
Helicopter's sensitivity will no longer be affected by FPS (it used to be more sensitive as you had less FPS, less sensitive as you have more FPS)

Update 1.9.3: New Map & Mode | Future Plans Recap

BattleBit Remastered - See12Run

Capture The Flag makes it debut in BattleBit Remastered today!

- Classic CTF, this time with 254 Players!

Week 5 Recap

Here's what's happening, and what you should expect from BattleBit in the near future:

Community Servers!
Our primary focus this month is to work on bringing community servers into the mix and creating API access for server admins. This will allow them to customize server settings to their preference.

Here's what you can expect from community servers (should server admins choose to host one):
- Sniper-only servers
- Pistol-only servers
- More competitive, hardcore servers
- More arcade-style, less milsim servers
- Flight school servers
- Ace Of Spades-style voxel servers (Yes, we have this feature! It's currently not public and is reserved for community servers.)
- Clan servers
- Other servers according to admin's preferences...
New Game Mode Implementations - Revisiting Existing Game Modes
- Our old school, one of our favorite gamemode, Capture The Flag!. We're experimenting with how this mode will work with 254 players, and it will also be playable on 64vs64 and 32vs32 scales.
- We plan to make additional enhancements to Frontline as we are not completely satisfied with its current state of development.
- After Capture the Flag, we plan to experiment with the King Of The Hill game mode in future updates.
Reworking and Introducing New Maps
- We've completely remade MultuIslands from the ground up. Brand new maps and more reworks are no the way!

v1.9.3 Patch Notes

New Game Mode: Capture The Flag!
New Map: MultuIslands

Player lag has been improved during rope climbing.
The issue where turrets, helicopters, etc. were incorrectly counted as 'shots fired' in stats has been fixed.
Spawning on players will not be rewarded until the game starts.

Valley - DOMI 16v16 layout tweaked.

Update 1.8.1: Party Codes, Stat Protection, QoL Updates, Bug Fixes

BattleBit Remastered - See12Run

The game has been updated to version 1.8.1
July 17th, 2023

We'd like to ask that you take a few minutes to complete our Player Experience Survey.
It's been a month since Early Access launch and we'd love to hear from you!

In this week's update, we've made some changes to the size of objective capture areas to provider a tighter and more consistent attack - defend dynamic. In some cases, capture areas were too large as a result of a discrepancy between the dev environment and the in-game result. We're also making it easier to party up with users not on your friends list, and added a quicker way to report users without using the scoreboard. Additional fail-safes have been implemented to protect users from progress loss or stat resets.

Our next major update is set to bring a reworked map and a fan favorite game mode, but for now, read along for the full patch notes for 1.8.1.

Patch Notes

Party Codes: New feature that enables players to join parties without adding each other as Steam Friends
Report Player Shortcut: Left Shift + F1/2/3/4, etc will bring up the report menu for the respective player, without having to go to the scoreboard. This makes it easier to report players for abusive behavior, or other inappropriate conduct
Stat-Sync Protection: A rare case has been fixed where a player's progress would reset if they joined a game server while the player stats servers were being updated. This happened because the game server would receive the player's stats as level 0, which would reset the player's progress.
1. To fix this, the game server will now no longer let a player join if it fails to fetch their stats. This will prevent players from joining the server with level 0.
2. Additionally, the backend will no longer accept saving stats of a player if their rank is less than it was before. This will help to prevent players from unintentionally resetting their progress.
Objective Capture Zones: Sizes have been reduced to 50%/75% of their original size in some areas. This should improve the user experience in CONQ and FRONTLINE game modes, as it will make it easier to defend objectives and allow your team to spawn on them until the enemy enters the capture zone and triggers the spawn lock. This change will also make it more difficult to hide in one of the many buildings on the map and stay in the enemy objective in order to disable their spawn.
Placed Gadget Persistence: Players will now be limited in the amount of C4s, mines, claymores, ammo kits, etc. that they can place at the same time.
1. C4s will be destroyed when a player dies. A maximum of 6 can be placed. If a player tries to place a 7th C4, the first one will be destroyed to maintain a total of 6.
2. Claymores and mines will not be destroyed when a player dies. However, only 4 can be placed at a time. If a player tries to place a 5th claymore or mine, the first one will be destroyed to ensure that there are only 4 at a time.
Domination - Reviving players will no longer return tickets.
Eduardovo - CONQ 32v32 received a unique layout that is separate from the 127v127 playable area.
Salhan - RU Border has been extended on the west side (Cav exit) to make spawn camping more difficult.
Frugis - The last stage of Rush received changes allowing the attacking team to exit from a subway near the enemy spawn.
Wakistan - Domination 32v32 layout will now feature an east coast line layout. The old layout will be moved to 16v16
The number of players in enemy vehicles will no longer be shown on the map when they are spotted.
When placing walls, there will be a half-player-size space margin requirement to avoid clipping. This means that there must be at least half the size of a player between the wall and any other object, such as another wall or a player. This is to prevent the wall from clipping through other objects, which can cause visual and gameplay issues.
Fixed an issue where players would not switch to their primary weapon when placing a claymore while throwing a grenade
Fixed an issue where the friend list would not load until the party menu was hovered over
Fixed an issue where players were unable to pass the main menu due to avatar images
Fixed the broken Progress Bar at the bottom of the screen
A bug where players could sometimes walk during the countdown on Frontline has been fixed.
Fixed an issue causing players to lag while using the Rappelling Rope
Spectator camera improved.

Early Access Dev Report (June 15 - June 30)

BattleBit Remastered - See12Run

Hello everyone!

First things first, we could not be more grateful for the overwhelming reception that BattleBit Remastered has received. Upon release we became the Best Selling Game on Steam, and our record high concurrent player count blew our expectations out of the water. We'd like to reiterate that our team is dedicated to this game and it's future.

Early Access is just the beginning, with your help we'll continue to improve, expand and polish the experience that you have in front of you today. This will remain true whether or not we maintain this level of popularity, so have no concerns about us "dropping" the game. That was never an option!

Here's a quick report on how early access has been progressing and our future plans!

First Week

It was smooth; we didn't have too many server issues. There were routing issues across NA-EU-AS, but with player reports, some of them were resolved.
We received a significant number of DDOS attacks on all of our servers continuously, some of them literally a day long, however, we were prepared beforehand. Our firewall caused sporadic packet losses here and there, but no major issues arose.
We were able to focus on Quality of Life improvements, new content, and bug fixes.

Second Week

A determined group of individuals who previously failed to take down our servers found a weak point in our firewall and started attacking any server they wanted using this weakness. They also started DDOSing servers that Content Creators were in to inflict as much damage to BattleBit's reputation as possible.
As a result of these attacks on our game servers, our server scheduling system also malfunctioned (e.g., 900 people waiting in queue, etc.), which significantly affected our development. We had to focus on collecting attack data, analyzing it, and working on fixing this flaw in our firewall.
We did not want to make a public statement alerting other people who had failed to take down our servers about this flaw in our firewall until it was patched.

Conclusion

We patched our firewall, monitored the attacks, and confirmed that the weakness in our firewall is indeed fixed in NA-EU-AS-AUS.

Future Plans

Continue applying bug fixes and add more quality of life improvements.
Recruit a team that specializes in detecting cheats and weeding out possible cheaters. (We have other long-term plans for non-rage cheaters but will announce them later on)
Add new weapons, gadgets, maps, and remakes of existing maps.
Introduce New Game Modes
Introduce community servers with dedicated game modes, maps, and tweaked game mode rules based on the admin's preference.

Weekly Development Talks

Every Saturday, we will take the stage and communicate with you directly. We'll discuss what happened that week, address any issues, changes, etc., and potentially talk about necessary changes for the next week. These will take place on Discord & Twitch.

Sneak Peek

Here are couple of screenshots from the Multu-Islands Rework and another that is coming in the near future. [expand type=show more][/expand]
