As you may've noticed, there have been issues joining servers as of a few hours ago. We believe this is due to issues on Steam's behalf; as a result, we are unable to fix them. You may have also slow loading times to access other parts of the Steam community. Currently, this outage affects some users while it does not affect others.

We are unsure when this outage will be corrected. We apologize for any inconvenience and we appreciate your patience in this matter.

Greetings Class-D Personnel

After a long period of radio silence, we are proud to be implementing a new schedule starting rather soon that will keep you informed of our progress.
The studio is in the process of arranging a Q&A sometime in the near future. We'll also be starting to release devblogs, getting our official streams back up and running, and sharing some content that will be heading your way in future updates!

As always, our Patreon supporters will gain access these posts early.


There is a new containment unit being delivered to the facility, rumors going around are saying it's going to be home to some special objects and items.



Don't you hate it when you've just escaped 049 chasing you down a hallway, and come across a bunch of weapons on the ground, with no bodies around? That means 049-2 are probably heading your way.
Looking for a gun with the perfect setup for the situation without needing to run to a workbench to customize it?

Well, no more will you need to pick up each weapon to see what attachments are equipped, now you’ll be able to just look and see what attachments are on the weapon.



While we're on the subject of weapons, there have been a couple of modifications to some of the sights and scopes.

Red dot
Holo sight

The sniper scope and the night vision scope have also been through a few tweaks; however SCP-079 has restricted our access to the file, so we cannot reveal this content yet.


There has been plenty more progress than we have revealed here, stay tuned for the next announcement for some more juicy content and information!

Version 8.0.0

After a long wait, we are glad to announce part 1 of the Megapatch is ready to be launched! The patch will be released within 24 hours since now! (we're targeting 10:00-12:00am PST). The final release date will be announced on our Discord server (www.discord.gg/scpsl)
Find out what’s heading your way below.

• Return of SCP-079
  
  
  SCP-079 is back with some new abilities and toys to play with!
  Please note, that SCP-079's development isn't finished yet . We have to collect feedback to make a solid plan of the further development.
  
  • Movement - 079 can now use 3 modes to move around, which are:
    
    • Map - activated with tab, allows 079 to click on rooms and move there
      
    • WASD - changes with your camera rotation, for example, W will move you to the camera in front of you
      
    • Clicking cameras - the old way of doing things, 079 can just click the camera icons to move to his next location
  • 079’s HUD - completely reworked, including more necessary information
    
  • Ability usage - SCP-079 now uses a power called “Auxiliary Power” that recharges over time, it works like mana, that can be used to activate 079's abilities
    
  • Experience - can be earned by performing actions or simply assisting human kills. Leveling up increases the AP regeneration and unlocks new abilities.
    
  • Camera movement modes - There are 2 ways of rotating (looking around) your cameras, switchable using spacebar.
    
  • Tesla gates - SCP-079 can now use tesla gates to his advantage, by using a single instant burst instead of a massive overcharge; practically, we've found it much more efficient than the previous one
    
  • Locking doors - now instead of a constant time, the door will be indefinitely locked with a constant power decay until 079 presses right-click or runs out of Aux Power.
    
  • New ability - 079 can now shut down all the power in a room, turning off the lights and locking the doors.
    
  • Zone-specific camera models, that actually rotate, and tell you if SCP-079 is looking at you.
    
  • Elevators - 079 can send an elevator up/down to disadvantage his enemies.
    
  • New recontainment system - There are five generators placed all around the HCZ. These will power up 079 each time they are turned on. However, if all are turned on, a mini-event will occur, where 079 begins to be "fried" out of the facility hardware, gaining a lot of power temporarily before dying. These generators require Weapon Manager Tablets to operate.
  
  ----------------
  
  
• Weapon System Changes
  
  
  • New weapon: USP
    A new "tool" for those pesky Class D's!
    We've added a USP gun, that can hold a couple more attachments than the previous pistol!
    Beware though, only one will spawn and hold its true glory.
    
    
  • Weapon attachment changes
    
    Get ready with those tablets, weapon attachments are now persistent.
    What does this mean?, you may be thinking.
    
    Any weapons dropped by fellow players will retain the attachments that player had set on them.
    Fancy an E-11 with a scope, while wanting a Red Dot sight for CQC? Now you can! (Just be sure to pick, or modify the carefully 'obtained' second rifle!)
    You now need to hold the weapon you wish to modify.
    
    
  • General improvements
    We’ve also balanced the attachments, improved holo sight effects, and E-11 SR shaders.
  ----------------
  
  
• General changes
  
  
  • C.A.S.S.I.E. - announces more detailed information about SCP deaths, telling what killed it specifically (i.e. kill by a Tesla Gate, Warhead detonation, etc).
    
  • Major Scientist keycard can open checkpoints now!
    
  • Respawn system - has had a few tweaks and changes to improve the queue and way it decides who will spawn in each wave. Spectators chances to respawn increase with the awaiting time.
    
  • New Permission Manager - allows you to control and set in-game roles via RA. (Use with command PM)
    
  • Broadcast/bc command - allows you to send a message to all players through the Remote Admin!
    
  • Hiding UI - You can now hide the UI! Do so by pressing “P”.
    
  • Engine, Steam & Voice Chat Update - General updates to our systems have been made, and stability of the voice chat has been improved.
  
  
• Bugfixes
  
  Thanks to your feedbacks, here are the bugs that got fixed in this release:
  
  • -1HP/One shot bug on self-hosted servers fixed
    
  • Fall damage in 106 room when exiting the Pocket Dimention fixed
    
  • Playerlist was sometimes shown empty. Fixed
    
  • Fall damage when gliding against a surface fixed
    
  • Fall damage in elevators when jumping fixed
    
  • MicroHID locking the inventory fixed
    
  • Standing on a locker's door in the Entrance zone won't trigger the anti-cheat anymore
    
  • The janitor card can now be given through the Give Item command
  
  If you notice a bug that wasn't reported, feel free to let us know on the Steam forum.

Version 7.4.0

Hey! We are introducing a new update, which is mainly focused on the optimization and bugfixing, because the Community was asking for it recently.

In addition, this is a version that will help you in waiting for something huge that we are currently working on. Most of the features are focused on making the game more playable.

This version is already available on the public beta branch. There's a common glitch which only occurs if there are many players on the server - that's why we need you in order to fix it. Unfortunately, there's only a Windows compilation available to download.


-Interface Rework! - New inventory, healthbar, in-game menu and player list!




-Support for more aspect ratios! Including 21:9 and 5:4!

-Elevator buttons! Nothing important but.. it's still something! It looks better and shows the current status of the elevator.



-Remote Admin improvements - the tool for server owners; some bug fixes and other improvements. For example: added some visual improvements, added "Enter" key functionality, added large data printer (using QR code), further details in "player info" command, teleportation commands, intercom events, server-wide mutes or intercom mutes.

-Changed grenades mechanics - now you can break more doors, even if you don't have a proper keycard.

-Security improvements - footsteps & fall damage were moved to the server-side code, which means it is no longer possible to make cheats related to these features. We also made a simple fly-hack anti-cheat.

-Overall server logging improvements.

-Added an option to hide global badges by default on your server.

-Fixed a glitch that made glass & blood invisible.

-Overall C.A.S.S.I.E. improvements - changed some effects and expanded the word base.

-Added more breakable windows and doors.

-Performance improvements - we adjusted some default settings, in my case I got about 30% more frames per second.
