Tourney Mode (Alpha) Were thrilled to introduce Tourney Mode - a new system designed to simplify tournament hosting! While its still in its early stages, heres what you can expect: Easy Tournament Creation: Select from the Mini Royale gamemode with Solo, Duo, or Trio options. Predefined Teams: Tournament organizers can set up teams in advance. The time where you had to create a party previously is over :) Player-Friendly Interface: Players will automatically see if theyre in a tournament and can seamlessly join pending games. Automated Tracking: Team scores, placements, and key stats are automatically tracked for you. This is just the beginning - we have big plans for more features and customization options to make tournaments even better. Server Performance Over the last months we worked on a new system on how the game servers work. This means the current 30 Soldiers lobbies will run smoother and we have potential for far bigger lobbies now (will be important for future updates :) ). Server Deployment Weve also made significant changes to our server setup. As a small team of three developers with no prior experience launching multiplayer games, we initially hosted everything on a single cloud provider. However, weve taken a big step forward now: Enhanced Server Flexibility: Our server now runs on a more versatile system, allowing us to host it everywhere. Cost Efficiency: This shift means cheaper, more independent servers to reliably support our player base. Scalability: During surges of new players, we can still leverage the cloud to handle the load. We are gonna test the new system this weekend - so if you experience any troubles let us know.

Some players have problems with the automatic Easy Anti Cheat installation. Here is how to fix that:

• Go to your Steam Library
• Right click Mini Royale [Demo]
• Click Properties
• Select Installed Files
• Click Browse
• Right click InstallAntiCheat.bat
• Click Run as admin

This will manually install Easy Anti Cheat for Mini Royale. You can uninstall via UninstallAntiCheat.bat. Note: Be careful when running random .bat files from untrusted sources. Feel free to look into the .bat file, it just executes 'EasyAntiCheat\EasyAntiCheat_EOS_Setup.exe install bec08df44a434459a5ae9b1254797d5b', where bec08df44a434459a5ae9b1254797d5b is the code for Mini Royale. You can also directly execute this command. [https://dev.epicgames.com/docs/game-services/anti-cheat/anti-cheat-interfaces#windows-service-installer]

Hey Solders, we will do a small playtest this weekend. Start Date: November 8th at 8:00 PM CET End Date: November 11th at 8:00 AM CET Have fun!

Hey Soldiers! Below you find some info about Steam Deck Compatibility:

• The game is playable on the deck. Make sure UNSELECT compatibility mode.
  
• You can play the game with gamepad and use the touchscreen for inventory management (We will be working on that).

If you have any suggestions - please let us know.

[ 2024-10-16 15:00:50 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hey Soldiers! as some of you may already know, we will participate in the Steam Next Fest starting on 14th. This means that the new Demo build will be available on our Steam Page now and the official Servers will be open for at least 10 Days. The Playtest build will not be available anymore.
The new Gamemode Color Conquest is a more casual mode. It is enabled now! We will continue to update the Game prior to Next Fest so everything is smooth when it starts.

Patch notes:

New Gamemode

• Color Conquest: It's a much more casual and free-flowing (Team-Deathmatch like) Gamemode, where 4 Teams with different colors will have to eliminate each other. By killing a player from another team, this player will be transferred to your team and will be redeployed from the corresponding Team Blimp.

Breaking Changes

• Reworked how the sensitivity is displayed. We removed the internal multipliers for the different scope stats (reddot, 2x etc). That means the same setting from previous builds lead to different sensitivities!

Bots

• Bots IQ has been improved by 9000. They can shoot, heal, follow the team and much more.

Weapon Balancing

• Hipfire inaccuracy between Assault Rifles and Machine Pistols has been reworked. MPs should be better for close range and ARs for mid to long range
• Fixed bug where you could shoot faster by swapping weapons

UI

• New Gamemode UI
• Also partly reworked Mini Royale ingame UI - this is still WIP
• Performance
• Improved rendering time for the entire map
• Worked on the impact on performance when in heavy fight scenes or similar

Misc

• Also added the new gamemode to the custom games creation. We will provide more options for that in the future!
• Upgraded Epic Online Service version. This should include several stability fixes.
• Fixed ingame Player Ticketing system
• Fixed Font for some Languages
• Fixed some Localizations
• Fixed Proximity Chat, that is very important for the new Gamemode
• Fixed issue where Microphone Setting List would not load
• Fixed Leaning snapping issue
• Fixed Ping attaching to wrong objects
• Added progression for the Iron Toy challenge (will be enabled soon)
• Added Season Quests (enabled now)
• Fixed crash from Abilities

Twitch

• Fixed show streamers
• Added notify when you claimed a Twitch Drop

Anti Cheat

• Upgraded to latest Anti Cheat Version
• Fixed some edge cases for Cerberus
