Hey Runners! Onto some unfortunate news for RWR:EDELWEISS - we have decided to delay the release. Recent events have conspired against much of the DLC development team, and as a result we believe we would be unable to keep true to the original release date. We have chosen not to set a fixed release date, and have resolved to deliver a more polished and complete experience that we otherwise would have been able to originally. We would like to thank our community for understanding that we have made this decision with their best interests in mind! We will keep you updated with progress, and in the future we will allow testers to share some gameplay footage to keep you excited!
We also decided to release this update, which is intended to mainly address some potential campaign balance issues for RWR:PACIFIC. We noticed a couple bugs which were causing issues that affected balance, and are addressing them here (see PACIFIC changelog). Another really interesting part of this small update, and long overdue, is that you can finally join the game of your friend directly over Steam friend list. It was already possible before, but only if the friend you wanted to join was playing on a dedicated server, thus not hosting e.g. a campaign himself. In this update, deployed weapons, such as the deployable MG, mortar, minigun, TOW, Hornet, etc won't respawn on destruction anymore. It was already the case for 2 non-campaign missions but has been extended to the whole game. This should make parts of maps with a strong emplacement defense easier, especially the final mission "Frozen Canyon". Happy Running everyone! Your Osumia Games Changelog RWR v1.77.3 (vanilla):
