Dear Early Access Supporters,

The Terramancer Design Doc is now available to everyone on our Discord. Come join the conversation and let us know your thoughts! For those of you who don't use Discord, you can also download the PDF directly here.

We will be taking a small break from our regular Job posts for the holidays, with the aim to start back up again in January 2022. I hope everyone gets some time to relax, recharge, and spend time with their loved ones as we close out the year.

As always, I appreciate your patience and support.
Sincerely, Matthew Scott

Hello everyone! I just released the first public playtest build for Chrysalis. Now is the time to load up the game and start playing! As you explore and learn about the game, keep in mind this is an Alpha build - there WILL be bugs and crashes (and that's why I need your help!).

I will be keeping an eye on the Chrysalis Playtest community Discussion forum here on Steam, as well as our official Discord channel: https://discord.gg/Ehjzmtv5rx. If you find any bugs or gameplay issues, please let me know through one of these avenues, or message me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/akoluthic.

In the event that you experience a crash, there should be a tiny crash.txt file that gets created. On Windows, this will be located in C:\Users\[Your Username]\AppData\Roaming\Chrysalis. Please include this file in any posts you make about the crash so I can (hopefully) pinpoint the issue!

Thanks for helping out, and I hope you have fun!

This patch brings some new awesome customization features to keep training as close to the way you want it, a new lobby background promoting our upcoming $50K Skills Challenge tournament on 12/17, and a cool new lobby feature. Let’s dive in:




New visual options for targets have been added including a metallic and smoothing effect.




You can now change colors for your imported custom crosshair directly inside the settings without needing to edit outside.




We’ve integrated a Twitch player into our lobby so that you’re able to catch all the awesome Aim Lab live action without even needing to leave the game! Make sure to drop us a follow at www.twitch.tv/aimlab




As we look to keep Aim Lab as exploit-free as possible, we’ve integrated EQU8 anti-cheat to help keep our leaderboards as legitimate as possible.

《古剑奇谭网络版 海外版》项目组
2021年12月15日

Get back to the battlefield, soldier! A tiger tank pins down your unit, and you've got the ordinance. Get your ass back in formation and link up with your squad, and for Pete's sake, don't drop the damn bazooka in the mud. Point Bravo is under heavy defense, so get moving private. Bring up that TNT while you're at it!

Push is a class-based, progressively changing objective game mode. The respawn locations will focus on the following objectives when the attacking team captures a set of capture points. TNT will be primed and placed on the capture point to trigger a fuse countdown that the defending team will need to defuse in the allotted time. The attacking team will have a limited number of reinforcements and must complete the objectives before the round or tickets run out.

Anti-personnel and anti-vehicle mines have also been added to the game to assist in defensive maneuvers or area denial. Don't stand too close. If an enemy shoots the mine, it will explode.

We have added Push to our official maps: Stalingrad, Santorini, Bridge, Bunker, Container Yard, and Siberia.

At this time, Push will need to be running on a community server. Load up Pavlov and use the server browser filter to search for Push game mode.


We've brought back an older favorite weapon for long-range sharpshooters. The hunting rifle supports a unique feature with rounds stored on a bandolier fastened on the butt of the gun. This new weapon does not have a detachable magazine; thus, rounds are inserted one at a time.


The most formidable and feared tank of WWII is now in Pavlov. It features a slightly more heavy armor plating and has slightly more health than the other tanks. Mappers can spawn this vehicle with the Pavlov mod kit.


To help reinforcements move up the line, we've added the 4x4 Kubelwagen and Willys MB vehicles. It supports a crew of 4 and moves at a much faster speed than the tanks. However, they have very little armor, and the crew is exposed to the open air. Beware of snipers!


We're proud to release a new official Search and Destroy map. Set in an abandoned Soviet missile silo, Bunker features a reasonably large layout with several intricate pathways to develop exciting strategies.


We've updated the scoreboard to allow more players to be viewed (up to 32). There's also additional information for Search and Destroy to show team economy and bomb possession.

We've created a customizable addition of Push to our mod kit to allow mappers to create the battle as they see fit. If you are a mapper and are interested in creating content for Push, you can find our mod kit here: https://github.com/vankruptgames/PavlovVR-ModKit

We have such an outstanding, dedicated mapping community working on Push maps for months in preparation for today's update. We owe so much to their feedback to help create a robust mod kit. You can find a few of their project below. Many of these contributors have multiple projects, so be sure to check out their other workshop push content!

Next year, the update cycle may slow down while we progress to a newer version of unreal engine. This will have an unfortunate side effect of making all current workshop maps incompatible. The engine upgrade is absolutely essential so we can improve performance and update a few of the current systems we want to replace. Upgrading your workshop content is about as simple as drag and drop, but it will be necessary as Unreal Engine does not have the ability to make maps backwards compatible.

We also plan to faction Search and Destroy so that each attacking/defending team will have different access to weapons. Your feedback is important so please let us know how you feel about the factioned weapons when we ship future betas. The best way to provide feedback to us is through our discord.

Hi everyone,

We’ve got one more hotfix for those of you on Steam ahead of the holiday break! It will roll out beginning in the morning (Mountain Time) on Thursday, December 16, 2021. The same update will go live on console in January and the exact date will be shared in the new year. We’ll have a fresh set of release notes at that time which will include more console-specific information as well.

Please note that NWI is closed for the holidays so our social and support channels will not be monitored from December 22, 2021 to January 3, 2022.

Release notes are below. We are really looking forward to coming back in the new year with fresh brains and ready to bring you all fresh content, loads of fixes, improved communication, and more! We hope each of you manage to carve out some time for yourself and loved ones; have a great holiday season everyone.

Continuing the trend from our last post: we are still sitting at 1,900+ bugs in our project management software. As we mentioned last time, these represent a whole range of issues, of all shapes and sizes. Below is a snapshot of what is currently on our radar.

• There is an issue that could cause players to temporarily lose access to the items inside the Assault Pack DLC.

• There is a chance the player that is selected as the VIP may not have the correct VIP cosmetics applied.
  
• There are instances where AI has unusually poor aim accuracy indoors.
  
• There are instances where AI is able to track player location through walls.
  
• There is an issue where the settings can be adjusted but do not save when using a gamepad.
  
• There is an issue where the weapon selection list in the Loadout Menu appears empty after selecting your class before the start of a match. Switching between screens may bring the Loadout Menu back but elements will appear in the wrong positions.
  
• There is an issue where the police badge may be missing on the Urban Warden torso DLC.

Some users may be experiencing an issue with these DLC not unlocking in-game. This is a high priority for us and we are actively investigating why and how this is happening. We appreciate your patience as we work to solve this.


Hello penguin pals, this message is being written for you by someone who has in their lifetime been a self-described Linux-head. Yes, we are very much aware that EAC announced Proton and Wine compatibility. Please understand however that we would still need to do quite a bit of development work to properly support Linux, and at this point in time we do not have that capacity. Thank you for your understanding!



That’s about it for now! From all of us at NWI, have a great holiday season and we’ll catch you in the new year!
