Following the Roadmap: refining landscape

War Thunder - Blitzkrieg Wulf

This is one more step along the War Thunder roadmap and a lot of important steps across many locations of the game. Today, we are going to tell you about the improvements to locations within the game based on your feedback. Fixes of overshots, imbalanced positions, vulnerable respawn zones and other improvements which we promised in our big roadmap that we released in June. We are committed to continual refinement and always welcome your feedback to further improve our maps.

Positions

Let’s start with some good news for those who drive near the “A” point of the map. Vietnam has changed - but how? The swamp has dried up and the road to point “A” has become noticeably faster, with the location itself looking more contrasted to make your eyes feel more comfortable. We have also improved the minimap on this map.

Before:

After:

Eastern Europe now has a lot of new natural shelters and landscape changes, which means moving between capture points will be much more secure. These changes have mainly affected the suburbs — the city is still recognizable to those familiar with it.

El Alamein has been improved: effective positions on the tops of mountains as well as several zones have been corrected that were unavailable in the SB version of the map. And Jungle has been thinned down a bit so that battling on the map doesn’t turn into a tedious round of looking for a moving bush. We have also blocked some known passages outside the playable map zone.

Protecting respawn points

One death isn’t a problem in most of the game modes within the game. Although, this can’t be said about death instantly upon respawn. Of course, if the enemy team honestly pushed through your defense and reached your respawn point - this situation is a bit different. We are correcting obvious positions which can get on the nerves of the enemy, even at the very beginning of the battle.

On Normandy, we have blocked the ability to shoot from respawn to respawn from the edges of the play area. This has been one of the maps where the problem was particularly obvious.

A similar problem affected Stalingrad, but on this map it was less obvious. On this map we have also blocked such shots.

On Alaska, you used to have to drive up a wooded mountain to reach a similar position. Not anymore - the drive up has been blocked.

Maginot has also been criticized by you. We made reliable protection for respawn zones on this location as well! Thank you for the feedback!

Landscape design

We are regularly making small tweaks to locations — the most attentive of you may have noticed that your favourite positions after the next update may have changed, such as a moved bush or a tree may have “grown” in a new place. Here are a few more of them, where we’ll show them with screenshots.

There was a house close to the spawn point on Iberian Fortress that, according to our analysis, made for an exceptionally effective position for one team within the match. We've removed the house, so that there is now one less point on the map from which a shell can fly towards you unexpectedly.

Before:

After:

Much more complex changes have taken place on the map Seversk-13 — we have towed away police cars that posed a problem: even after being destroyed, they left behind an invisible collision model which shells hit. And on Jungle, which we told you about in the beginning of this blog, has had some small changes: we also worked on the shade of vegetation and some other visuals.

The most noticeable changes have taken place on Sun City. The architecture of the whole city has changed very noticeably — objects, buildings and the environment as a whole have become more diverse and modern. We have improved some textures and didn’t touch the sun — it continues to shine.

We continue to refine

While we've worked diligently to refine and improve the maps based on your feedback, we recognize that in the process, some new bugs or issues may inadvertently arise. We genuinely value and appreciate your continued feedback in identifying these challenges, as it aids in our ongoing commitment to enhance your experience in War Thunder. Feel free to let us know about any balance issues and bugs you may find on War Thunder maps - we will continue similar work to improve map balance in the future.

Gravity Circuit - Patch 1.0.7

Gravity Circuit - DomAnt

Hello everyone. Based on player feedback, we bring you version 1.0.7, which brings various bug fixes and other tweaks. Following things have been fixed or adjusted:

Note: Due to how language selection was adjusted for this patch, the game will ask to select your language again upon launch. This is one-time operation, however, so hopefully this won't be too bothersome!

Game issues:

Fixed an issue where in rare situations, ledge grabbing onto an object that has despawned may crash the game
Added extra code to account for strange behavior in the pause menu, that could under very specific circumstances lead to a game crash
Fix an issue where Hardware Barrier may not activate properly; in that the shield effect appears, but it doesn't actually shield you from damage
Fix a visual issue where Hardware Barrier remains if you complete a stage, and the technique is active
Fix a visual issue where Hardware Barrier being active may lead to some weird visuals during cutscenes
Fixed an issue where, due to a coding oversight, a jump activated through the game's jump buffer may unwittingly cancel a burst technique activation
Changed Kai's control code a bit, in that it checks for burst technique activation first before any other button input. This helps with any unintentional "double jump cancelled burst technique" bugs.
Fixed a visual offset issue with Junk Fly Hive enemies, when they are grabbed with Heavenly Piledriver
Fixed an issue where a certain boss, under certain circumstances, can get stuck mid-air in a way that requires you to restart the fight by reloading the checkpoint
Fixed an issue where if you pressed crouching jab just before doing some special NPC interactions in the HQ, Kai's controls might get locked up after trying to leave that interaction
Fixed an issue where Kai's controls may get locked up when Kai gets frozen or gooped up in Mountains or Junkyard while doing a crouching jab
Fixed an issue relating to using Gravity Freeze against a specific attack one of the game's bosses can do
Fixed an issue where Chain Dasher may fail to grab the target object if the hookshot button is held down at the end of the dash, and the target is eligible for a grab
Fixed a game crash that may happen when using Support Platform
Fixed a softlock that may happen if Kai gets crushed during Screen Interrupt, like by the toggleblocks in Cyberspace
Fixed an issue where Chain Dasher can cause grabbed enemies warp around rather randomly if they're thrown while Kai is standing on ground
Fix a visual issue with Virus Bruiser enemies if they're grabbed with Heavenly Piledrive while their chain is extended
Fixed a visual issue when grabbing an enemy object with hookshot, where the enemy may be displaced for some few frames while Kai is doing the pull-in action. This tended to happen the most when grabbing an enemy after Heavenly Piledrive
Due to a small oversight, Data Chip count may go up to 82 out of 80, due to the game interpreting wrong data as picked up data chips. This error has been fixed, and additional code has been added that corrects any affected save files when game boots up. This bug did not affect achievements, it just displayed the wrong visual on GAME COMPLETE screen, as well as file select.
Fix a game crash in Highway caused by preserved momentum from Float Rider platforms when entering miniboss cutscene triggers
Fix an issue where divekick can be cancelled with a burst technique, leaving a lingering attack overlay effect and lingering hitbox attached to Kai
Fixed a case where some enemies may continue their normal behavior if they are Heavenly Piledrived into a pit of spikes or lava, or Kai getting crushed. Made the said enemies destruct in these circumstances.
Fixed one unintentional interaction with a moving platform and one enemy type in one of the latter stages.
Fixed a game crash that may occur if the game takes longer than expected to load Research Compendium assets, and the game attempts to update which object sprite to show.
Added precaution to one of the cutscene triggers in one of the final stages, so to ensure that Kai doesn't fly past the cutscene trigger too hard due to any momentum shenanigans

Gameplay adjustments:

Gave Emergency Heal and Hardware Barrier the "invincible" status for their activation durations (ie. the time between activation and player regaining control), to better ensure that the techniques do their designated effects without some weird interactions preventing them
Made it possible to crouch and get the crouch jab out on the same frame, since previously these had to be handled in two consuctive frames, which could lead to dropped inputs (crouching but not getting the jab out)
Made it possible to crouch from sprint, so long you only hold the downwards direction. Previously you had to slow down enough for crouch to register.
Heavenly Piledrive unintentionally grabs overkilled enemies. However, instead of removing this, additional code was added that ensures that an overkilled enemy destructs after the Heavenly Piledrive finishes.
Can gain sprint speed if Kai falls off a ledge after a slide if run button is held
Can gain sprint speed after letting go of a wall-slide if run button is held
Added a few more "safe zones" for Kai to respawn on, if he falls into a pit near the miniboss in Junkyard

Misc:

Adjusted language handling, and how it is saved in player's user configuration files
Slight modifications to Japanese localization (eq. one achievement erronously using the wrong name for a certain character)
Working on improving text rendering performance. This was done for console ports, but may help with running the game on older PCs.
GAME COMPLETE screen now shows clear time down to centisecond accuracy, as opposed to just seconds.
GAME COMPLETE screen now also shows your research completion rate for compendium (in ###%), not just your data chip collection rate (in ##/80)

Let us know if you find any new issues.
