The last game of the Zula Europe Pro League took place between Pompa Team and x6tence. The aliens managed to defeat the ghosts without much difficulty.

The matches were played in China and Old Town.

In China, x6tence began as defender team and they fitted 5 of the 9 rounds, arriving at the swap of roles with a result of 5 - 4. In contrast, in their turn of attack, the aliens had no mercy and got the victory with a result of 10 - 6. The MVP of the game was Flashwood with a KDA of 2.00 (17/9/1).

In Old Town x6tence began attacking and managed to reach the swap roles with a result of 5 - 4 in their favor. Pompa Team could not do much during their turn of attack so the match ended with the victory of x6tence with a result of 10 - 7. The MVP of the game was Flashwood with again a KDA of 2.30 (16/10/7) .

x6tence has managed to finish in a decent position and Pompa Team has made it clear that they want to fight in the competitive Zula scene.

In the grim darkness of later today, there is only the release of Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2.

We're thrilled to release Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 today! We are currently aiming for a 6PM CET / 5PM GMT / 12PM EST / 9AM PST launch, but stay tuned as we may do a soft release a few hours earlier to make sure everything is working as expected.

A new Launch Trailer will prepare you for battle as all the fury of 12 factions clash for dominance in skirmish and ranked multiplayer, while three full grand campaigns offer hundreds of hours of single-player and co-op content.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KubBn4syAHQ
With a focus on bringing naval battle strategy into the 41st millennium, Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 has you considering ship speeds, engagement angles, torpedoes, and strike craft while navigating the fantastical and daemonic special abilities of this dark future. Design and customise your fleet through a fully open points system, picking from one of over 80 sub-factions and dozens of fleet upgrades across seven ship classes and 12 distinct factions.

The team has worked hard on your feedback from the second Beta. As announced in our latest community update, today's full release brings a lot of balance tweaks and bug fixes. You’ll find some highlights and a patchlog at the end of this post. If you're new to the game, make sure to read our Quick Start Guide.

You can also join our Discord to discuss with fellow players and devs: https://discord.gg/fqpAG2D



You'll also be able to finally play the campaign co-op mode today. We'd like to remind you that, as announced at the start of the last Beta, this game is an incredibly ambitious project for our small team and we’ve worked hard to release a sequel improved in every way over the original. It includes 12 factions and three massive grand campaigns playable in co-op. But as we’re working around the clock to polish every part of the game, we're forced to release the co-op mode in an early access state today.

This means that we’re simply not entirely satisfied yet by the level of polish on offer in the co-op mode. It is now available, but we will continue to improve it and fix technical issues in this mode after launch. Our current estimation for the full release of campaign co-op is during March. In the meantime, the co-op mode will be playable on launch but you might experience some technical issues. Your feedback about this mode will be instrumental in making it stable as fast as possible.




Even though the game is now released, we're still interested in getting your feedback about all aspects of the game: balancing, technical issues, and the full Necron, Imperium and Tyranid campaigns. We'll continue to release updates and tweak the game with the help of your reports. Today is only the beginning for Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 and we'd like to share more about our post-release plans.

As explained above, our first priority is to polish the co-op mode to release it fully as soon as possible. It will come with a balancing patch, as well as bug fixes and additional polish based on your feedback. We'll also develop the competitive aspect with official seasons and rewards to be announced very soon.

This first major update will be followed by the development of new ships and continuous work on balancing. As you've seen in our last Beta update, we have the data to monitor win rates and match-ups and we'll make good use of them to do regular balance tweaks until we're happy on that front.

After this we will be focusing on major new features. This includes a massive new game mode giving you access to skirmishes with truly humongous fleets and legendary ships (the Phalanx, Macragge's Honour, and other ships you see during the campaign). Thanks to the incredible support the game has received so far, Focus Home Interactive and Tindalos Interactive have also begun work on a new, full grand campaign. That’s all we can say for now, but we will announce specifics closer to release later this year.

We can't wait to share more, but as you can see, we've got plenty on the go in the coming months. Meanwhile, enjoy the full release of Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 and let us know what you think!

• All three Grand Campaigns are now fully playable!
  
  • Your Imperial and Necron campaign saves from Beta 2 will still work, enjoy!

We have had crashing reports from people who bought the game for the past couple of days.

We have tested on our machines with different graphics configurations. And we did have a few crashing issues from certain graphics cards configuration. On our low-end machines(750ti and its radeon equivalents), the game would stutter and crash with the graphics setting set to Ultra.
After tweaking the graphics setting to be more performant(low, medium), we had few crashing issues from most of our machines. If you have a mid-range graphics card(1050ti or higher), the game will run just fine without compromising the visuals.

We are currently contacting Crytek to help us figure out the issue just in case.

If you are still experiencing crashing issues, try different graphics settings in the option menu and let us know how it works via Steam Hub or our mail, NukaGames21@gmail.com
Also, attaching a log file(game.log in the game folder) will help us track down the issue more easily.

We are planning to test on more machines with various graphics cards in the coming weeks. And you will be able to contact us via our social channels soon. If you have questions or creative game ideas about the game, feel free to ask. :)

P.S. Since this is our first project, we've had a busy week. :)
Being a huge steam fan myself, I understand that the community's role is essential in pushing the game in the right direction.
Since BlueFear is rahter early in production, we'd really like to get fun ideas from people and merge them into the game. And of cousre, we'll try to fix the crashing issues as soon as possible.
We'll post our roadmap shortly. So stay tuned. Cheers:)

Dear pathfinders,

As the new year takes its course, we are happy to announce that we're ready to share Version 1.2!

This new pack of fixes and improvements is based on your suggestions we keep receiving both from forums and the in-game reporting system (available by pressing F11). Thank you so much for your contribution - your feedback lets us make the game better every day!

We know that a lot of our players are complaining about the long load times. It's a serious technical issue and, unfortunately, we cannot fix it in one fell swoop. However, we're doing our best to mitigate this pain. We have been able to greatly decrease initial loading time in previous patches. And there is a major improvement in Kingdom management interface we implemented in this patch that will eliminate loading time between different Kingdom UI windows. We keep looking for other things we could do to fix this problem, so stay tuned for further improvements!

Be aware that the update is really huge - you will have to download around 18 Gb! The reason the update is so big is that we are working on the loading time issue, so we had to repack almost all game data.

We would like to thank all of you who are sending us the bug reports with the typos. We are doing our best to correct them as soon as they are discovered. Thanks to you all, the Version 1.2 holds a large number of such fixes!

Finally, let us assure you once more that work on the Pathfinder: Kingmaker will not stop for a single day. Right now, the development team keeps working on the next patch which should fix - as we hope - all known issues that remain on our task list.

Sincerely yours,
Owlcats.

Patch Highlights:

• System: Loading times have been significantly reduced.
  
• New setting: you can now choose to significantly decrease loading times in kingdom management screens at the cost of higher RAM and VRAM consumption.
  
• Multiple difficulty improvements in Chapters 6 and 7.
  
• New feature: you can now enable camera following. Just double-click a character's portrait or hit F to enable it and disable it by manually controlling the camera (WASD, arrow keys or pressing on the mouse wheel). Camera-following is also automatically disabled on battle start.
  
• New feature: to save yourself a loading screen, you can now hover your mouse cursor over the table in the throne room, and you'll see an exclamation mark if anything new has happened in kingdom management while you were gone.
  
• The Storyteller now provides the total number of artifact shards needed to assemble an artifact.
  
• Numerous visual and user interface improvements.

Please, be aware of the plot spoilers in the description below (in the Quest, Areas and Kingdom sections)!

Quests

• During Nok-Nok's companion quest, the player could gain "Hero" and "Jester" points by making certain decisions and picking certain dialogue options. Gathering a high enough number of these points was the only way to open the relevant story paths for Nok-Nok during the quest arc's finale (and thus save him at the House of the Edge of Time later on). However, it was unclear how to gain said points, which lead to most players getting stuck with the quest arc's "bad ending" and Nok-Nok dying, even if they completed his quests in an otherwise appropriate manner. Resolution: we are streamlining this mechanic. The players will now always be able to select either the "Hero" or the "Jester" path for Nok-Nok during the quest arc's finale. Which path is open to them depends on what type of points they acquired more of.
  
• A dialogue option discussing Valerie's scar didn't disappear from her dialogue even after completing her quest. Resolution: fixed.
  
• From now on, Irlene will take the Chest of Genuine Gemstones from the player when the player delivers it during her quest.
  
• The dialogue with Jubilost about the "Inconsequential debates" never ended if the quest was failed. Resolution: fixed.
  
• In the "Twice-Born Warlord" chapter, being able to save Nilak (and Dugath, if he survived so far) depended on whether the player is doing the "Flintrock Grassland" area before or after confronting Tristian at the "Abandoned Keep" area. If the players come late to the Flintrock Grassland, they find Nilak (and Dugath) already dead. We removed this dependency from the conditions to Nilak's (and Dugath's) survival to make Amiri's personal quest more consistent.
  
• The "Help Amiri kill another mighty monster" objective could be missing after completion of the "Help Amiri kill Tuskgutter" objective in rare cases. Resolution: fixed.
  
• The "Ancient formula" objective couldn't be completed after "Experiment on a wererat and report to Bokken" objective. Resolution: fixed.
  
• The "City of Hollow Eyes" area will now only be available after receiving the "Find the missing Defaced Sisters" objective of the "Along the Cold Trail" quest.
  
• In some resolutions of Jaethals last personal quest, she could unexpectedly disintegrate, which made it impossible to correctly resolve the Test of Loyalty for Jaethal and Tristian at the House of the Edge of Time. Resolution: the underlying issue has been solved and will not reproduce itself. However, unfortunately, the affected saves cannot be fixed.
  
• A weapon slot in Amiri's interface could remain locked after finishing her companion quests. Resolution: fixed.
  
• Even after Jaethal would come to life, she could regain some of her Undead feats with time. Resolution: fixed.
  
• In some cases during Ekun's "Bury the Past" quest, some of the enemy giants would not join the fight on their own, which made it impossible to talk to Ekun afterwards. Resolution: fixed. Those players who have already been affected by this bug (they see Ekun standing on his knees and cannot talk to him) need to kill the giants located one screen to the right.
  
• In some cases, the game incorrectly interpreted the player's decisions taken after fighting Hargulka and Tartuk at the "Troll Lair" area. Resolution: fixed.
  
• It was possible to accidentally fail Valerie's romance before it even begins. Resolution: fixed.
  
• Executing Edrist Hanvaki could block further playthrough if Auto Kingdom Management was turned on (this would stop game time from moving forward). Resolution: fixed.
  
• Mim Wobblegander no longer gets stuck on her way to Talon Peak. Resolution: fixed. For players with saved games where she is already stuck, she will be waiting for them on the top of the mountain now.
  
• Some players could permanently lose access to Nok-Nok if they have seen a certain statue before they were supposed to during his personal quest. Resolution: fixed.
  
• From now on, the "Saving Grace" quest will start no matter what the status of the "Hour of Rage" quest is.
  
• If Stefano Mosconi is alive during the "War of the River Kings" quest, he will now correctly appear in the Throne Room to "invite" the player to Pitax.
  
• During the Season of Bloom, the peasants that form the angry mob in front of your castle could make mistakes about the fate of a certain Lamashtu's priestess (located at the "Secluded Lodge" area) and some bandits ("Bridge over the Gudrin River"). Resolution: fixed.

Areas

• The dialogue option to ask Kharne Vereel about his shady dealings during the Rushlight tournament is now locked until the player finds out about them from other characters.
  
• Skill checks for the "Trial of Strength" and the "Trial by Pain" illustrated events could be triggered multiple times at the "Armag's Tomb" area. Resolution: fixed.
  
• The "Wild Energies" debuff could get stuck on characters when leaving the basement of the "House At The Edge Of Time" area using the staircase to the second floor. Resolution: fixed. For affected saves where the party are still in the "House At The Edge Of Time" area, players have to visit the ruined basement part and leave it again to remove the debuff.
  
• There could simultaneously exist two Tartuks at the "Ruined Warehouse" area in some cases. Resolution: fixed.
  
• NPC banters disappeared too fast in Varnhold. Resolution: fixed.
  
• Briar didn't disappear from the Inventory when players gave it to Nyrissa. Resolution: fixed.
  
• The "Vordakai's Tomb" area couldn't be found before the opening the Gates to the Valley of the Dead. Resolution: fixed.
  
• Lootable dead body was not visible at the "Wolf Lair" area. Resolution: fixed.
  
• Provided conditions to Amiri's companion dialogue to keep it from becoming overburdened with the growing number of dialogue options.
  
• The diplomacy checks in Darven's dialogue in the Capital were incorrect. Resolution: fixed.
  
• Trolls and Kobolds didn't turn into dust after death at the "Troll Lair" area in the last chapter. Resolution: fixed.
  
• Creatures were not reachable in the main hall at the "Troll Lair" area in the last chapter. Resolution: fixed.
  
• Amiri could be paralyzed, wounded or fatigued at the start of her quest at the "Flintlock grasslands" area. Resolution: fixed.
  
• A secret door opened mechanically but not visually in the library at the "House at the Edge of Time" area. Resolution: fixed.
  
• Rikri Sharvan had the wrong portrait during dialogue. Resolution: fixed.
  
• Changed the order of the traveling portals as they occur in the illustrated event in the final chapter. The four portals on top of the list will lead to areas where the Lantern King's curse is lifted.
  
• Changed the text in the CG option in the dialogue with Hannis Drelev in Irovetti's Palace to better represent the CG alignment.
  
• The Incorruptible Petal glaive used to be in the "Whiterose Abbey" area and is in the "Pitax Royal Palace" area now. Vice versa, the Ring of Chaos item is in the "Whiterose Abbey" area.
  
• Added the tooltips for area pointers for houses in region villages.
  
• Clarified a dialogue option available while discussing the search for Armag's Tomb with Linzi.
  
• Characters could leave the map and get stuck at the final area. Resolution: fixed.
  
• The robbed woman at the "Bridge of Gudrin River" area now points the player in the right direction if asked about where she was robbed.
  
• Lowered some of the Diplomacy and Intimidation difficulty checks for Amiri at the "Flintrock Grasslands" area.
  
• Fixed a bug in the first dialogue with the raven in Vordakai's Tomb.
  
• Dugath was too lazy to take part in the barbarians' meeting on exit from the "Armag's Tomb" area. Resolution: fixed.

• The arguing peasants at the capital in chapter 3 have now learned to pronounce their names properly.
  
• Fixed a possible bug in Ivar's dialogue at the cliff. Affected players should be able to talk to Ivar once again and finish the dialogue correctly.
  
• The camera was not controllable after introduction dialogues at the "Pine Patch" area. Resolution: fixed.
  
• Inclement weather is no longer triggered in safe areas like the Capital Square. Characters in a safe area now ignore all slowing effects and always move at full speed.
  
• Characters could get an incorrect amount of damage or the wrong disease during the "Kobold Trail" event. Resolution: fixed.
  
• Healing spells weren't applied to the wounded party members during the first Rest at the "Oleg's Trading Post" area. Resolution: fixed.
  
• There was no exit marker on the "Southern Barrens" area map. Resolution: fixed.
  
• Portal to the "Everblooming Flower Cradle" area (the last chapter) could be used only one time. Resolution: fixed.
  
• Athletic skill-check was applied only once during uphill climbs at the "Bridge over the Gudrin River" area. Resolution: fixed.
  
• Improved pathing at the "Goblin Fort" area.
  
• Loading the game from one dimension at the House at the Edge of Time to another could lead to different bugs. Resolution: fixed.
  
• At the "Technic League Encampment" area, it was sometimes impossible to free one of the companions enslaved by the League. Resolution: fixed.
  
• In various points in the game, i.e., at the "Old Sycamore" area, after certain player actions area transitions could disappear. Resolution: fixed.
  
• After upgrading the capital to stone buildings, some of the rooms in houses surrounding the main square could become inaccessible. Resolution: fixed.
  
• On lower difficulties, an encounter with Soul eaters in Vordakai's Tomb could get stuck if the PC died. Resolution: fixed.
  
• Three magical tree stumps could suddenly start moving with the wind at the "Abandoned Hut" area. Resolution: nailed the stumps to the ground.
  
• At the "Other World" area, summoned creatures could trigger the teleport sequence when they entered the blue mist, trapping some players in that area. Resolution: fixed.
  
• You can now only enter Tuskgutter's Lair if you have Amiri in the group.
  
• In some cases, players could get stuck in the capital tavern during romance with Octavia. Resolution: fixed.
  
• At the "Old Sycamore" area, the sleeping bandits' characteristics did not properly reflect the fact that they're sleeping. Resolution: fixed.
  
• The big entryway in the middle of the "Troll Lair" area now takes the player to the second floor instead of outside.
  
• In Chapter 7, Maegar Varn could die before his final dialog. Resolution: fixed.
  
• In the north-west of the "Silverstep Lake Village" area, you can summon a wyvern. The way to summon it has been made more logical and consistent.
