Neuer Monthly Sitrep mit Neuigkeiten zum Update 1.7 mitsamt Roadmap, der neuen Map "Turbine, Workshop Support und es werden in geraumer Zeit QA Tester für die Oculus Quest Kompilierung gesucht.

Hier könnt ihr euch in den Verteiler einschreiben und mit viel Glück dabei sein.

Report on of the last couple of weeks.

The Downpour team has mainly been working on gameplay stability, fixing recently introduced issues (like inconsistent frag and flash grenades, crouching, and spectator bugs), and focusing on map performance. A hotfix will be coming later today to address many of these problems and deliver a smoother playing experience.

Big memory improvements will be coming in a patch in 1-2 weeks, and should help alleviate crashes when loading into maps. Texture memory has been a major area of needed improvement in Onward since it’s release, and we’ve been working on methods to optimize how we manage it. We are improving this issue by implementing better compression and texture loading management, and these will greatly reduce RAM usage in game.

Lastly, a status update on our remaining maps! From a design perspective most of our unreleased maps are ready to go, however we still need to optimize our maps a bit more, so that the game runs smoothly. Our biggest performance cost on these maps are high draw calls. Essentially the more textures, materials and shaders we use per map, the more drawcalls we incur. We are working on minimizing the amount of different materials/shaders by atlasing textures, as well as utilizing new batching techniques such as GPU instancing. We apologize for the inconvenience and delay on these maps, but we assure you we are working to get them to you guys asap! A lot of these performance improvements will be relevant to the community as well, once release custom map support. We will share our findings, so that custom content creators can also make great performing maps.

If you missed the changelogs of our previous Reloaded update, please head over to our steam page. Here you can find details on both the v1.6 reloaded update and the follow-up patches that came after.

Workshop Support Added
Custom Content: Custom maps can now be created by community members (or us) and played in Onward. We’re excited to see what you guys come up with! To begin on your custom map journey and submit your own creations for all to play, visit the Onward Discord or jump right in with the Onward Custom Content Guide.

Workshop Browser
To get custom maps, you will visit the workshop screen in the new main menu. On the workshop screen, you will have many options to filter and sort through custom content and find what you are looking for. Once you find it, you can download it and create a custom server using your new workshop map. After you’ve played it, you can let the community know how you feel about it by giving it a rating (ratings take 24 hours to appear).

Full Creativity
Custom maps support all of the game modes that you are used to playing in Onward, including core modes like Uplink, cooperative modes against the new AI, and even social modes, which we’ll get to in a bit.

Multiplayer
In order for other people to join your multiplayer server, they will have to have the same version of a map that you have. The workshop screen will tell you when a map needs to be updated, and the new server browser will let you know if a server is using another version of the map.

Initial Custom Maps
The following custom maps will be available right now on the workshop!

Outlet an official Downpour custom map: “Radio chatter indicates this shuttered mall in rural America has been occupied by a Volk cell. MARSOC has just entered it's dilapidated halls on a search and destroy mission.”

Mansion - Set in an estate with a dark secret, by community member Spike.

Metropolis Set in a war-torn urban area under siege, by community member Koiz.

H Mart Set in a retail store and parking lot, by community member Koiz.

Old Town Set in a picturesque village, by community member Snooper Fax.

Trespass Set in a volk-controlled urban sprawl, by Storm(Unyun).

New AI Added
Four classes for the AI
Rifleman, Automatic Rifleman, Snipers, and Close Quarters. Each class has a different set of actions, stats, and equipment to attack the player in a variety of new ways.

Five types of Squads
Rifle, Sniper, Assault, CQB, and Light. You’ll fight different combinations of squads depending on the difficulty levels, squad counts, and operation type. AI within a squad work together to attack the player and will call for support from other squads if the fighting becomes too heavy.

Four levels of difficulty
Rookie, Experienced, Veteran, and Elite with the options to select how many enemy squads you want to take on in Hunt. As the difficulty level goes up, AI react faster, more accurately, and more appropriately to the players actions.

Navigation and cover
The AI are no longer on set patrol paths nor do they spawn in the same place every round. AI will move to cover to react to players, initiate an attack, or to protect themselves from grenades. Rifle squads will patrol between choke points and intersections. Snipers will move to overwatch positions and take cover to wait for players. Assault, CQB, and Light squads will hunt players down.

Vision and Hearing
AI sight is now based on how much of the player can be seen, how far away the player is, and how loud the player is being. Gunshots, explosions, and nearby impacts are all heard and remembered for different amounts of time. Night time and sand storms will affect sight, hearing, and movement speeds.

Other Notes
Up to 32 AI hunting you.
AI can now use any weapons and attachments that players can..
Smoke grenades are used to conceal AI advances when they are taking fire.
Fragmentation grenades are used to kill players in cover, take out groups of players, or finish off downed player.
C4 needs to be hidden from them.

New Menu
Connected: In addition to the workshop, we have added a new home screen. This screen will allow you to see all the latest events in the Onward community, or jump right into the game.

Interactive
Almost all of the new menu screens are fully scrollable. They are also for the most part composed of larger visual tiles, which are easier to click and interpret in VR.

Expandable
Map selection menus in the new multiplayer and singleplayer screens now expand and scroll to facilitate new (custom or official) maps. These menus can also be filtered specifically for stock or custom maps, and also allow you to delete custom maps.

Other Features
Angled Sights
Angled sights are now available in the loadout screen for various weapons.

These sights are fully compatible with the virtual gunstock - simply rotate your wrist to swap which sight you want to look through.

New Models

Btw es findet auch gerade ein FreeWeekend auf Steam statt! Kann jeder also ausprobieren!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/496240/Onward/

Ich selbst werde wohl heute nach langer Zeit mal wieder reinschauen. Mal gucken wie es sich momentan so spielt.

SolKutTeR · 15. November 2019

Weiteres Update mit neuen Waffen Sounds und diversen Anpassungen sowie fixes.

Patch v1.7.4 - New Weapon Audio, and various fixes.
(Consider using the Steam client option to verify the integrity of the local game cache to avoid corrupted data after downloading this update)
Klicke in dieses Feld, um es in vollständiger Größe anzuzeigen.

Weapon Audio Upgrade

Weapons now have eight different firing sound variants per weapon, and which sound is used depends on several factors: if the weapon is suppressed, if it is indoors or outdoors, or if it is close or far away from the listener.

Did a large pass on the audio reverb areas in each map. In general you should notice more realistic sounding environments.

Firing mode selector clicking noises now vary on a gun to gun basis.

LMGs now have three different sounds when interacting with the bullet belt, and separate sounds for opening and closing the top hinge.

There are now multiple sounds for inserting shotgun shells into guns.

There are now specific sounds when shotgun shells eject and hit the floor.

Tweaked the volume of firing mode selector clicking and bolt forward and back sounds.

Improved the performance of how we look up weapon sounds.

General Changes

Restored the warning before joining competitive lobbies that will let people know that a higher level of skill is required for them.

Throwing pickups takes less of the player’s velocity into account now, so if you are holding an item, run forward, and let go, the item will no longer launch forward.

If you are the only player in a Shooting Range lobby, downing yourself will no longer break the lobby.

Falling off of cliffs in Free Roam will no longer cause you to spawn in place, which would result in an endless loop of you falling to your death forever.

The host is now always shown in the list of players in the server browser, so the list will not be empty as the game is being created anymore.

When the game mode is displayed in the spectating screen and server browser, it now shows the actual name, not the internal name.

Fixed the location of several attachments on the M39 EMR.

Decreased the magazine capacity of the Makarov pistol from 9 rounds to 8.

Adjusted the brightness of Reflex and Holographic sights for easier to use contrast.

Polished hand poses for holding pistols.

Various bug fixes on Shooting Range, Snowpeak, and Tanker.

Fixed the first time user experience questions ignoring the choice the user makes regarding proximity grip or button press grip.

Custom Content

Clicking the workshop icon on maps in the map selection screen will now allow you to update or delete individual maps that you have installed. Clicking update will focus that specific map in the workshop screen.

Attempting to join a server on a custom map that you do not have will now focus on that specific map in the workshop screen.

If the lobby has custom maps enabled, and has any of them in common, then at least one custom map is guaranteed to appear in public map votes now.

Increased the number of custom maps that get placed into the pool of maps chosen from to vote, meaning they will be more common if people have them.

Fixed votes for custom maps in public map votes applying to all visible custom maps, rather than just the one you clicked.

Maps that custom content creators are working on will no longer appear in the server browser.

The map preview image in the server browser will no longer flicker when viewing servers on custom maps.

AI

Fixed the AI not using their lasers or flashlights on night maps.

AI have many more names now, drawn from our credits screen.
