Hi All, Tonight we have a small quality of life and maintenance patch that should fix up a lot of the biggest issues that should keep Hurtworld stable for a long time into the future. The largest change is the switch over to Epic Online Services (EOS) for our anticheat framework from EAC. (You will currently still see Easy Anti Cheat in the bootstrapper, this is normal and will likely have the art replaced soon) As a side effect of moving to EOS, Hurtworld should now be supported on Steam Deck. Don't expect a perfect experience on this but it will run. We also collected a list of criticial issues plauging servers, patching a number of exploits around build permissions and peeking through walls. This patch will enforce a wipe across all servers. Full Changelog - AntiCheat now provided by EOS AntiCheat (Epic Online Services) - Added server console command 'enforceeac <0/1>' to turn AntiCheat off/on (must be ran during startup) - Added server console commands 'disableddosprotection' and 'enableddosprotection' to enable/disable DDOS protection - Added client console command 'mutelist' to show list of muted players by SteamID - Fixed the 'unmute' server console command not working - Allowed the 'unmute' console command to run on client (takes SteamID as argument) - Fixed inside rock check not applying properly to several island rocks - Added no build area around map edges - Fixed respawn window displaying too early if player's sleeper is killed during loading - Changed the way biome validation works on construction and placement (fixes builds in no build areas after server desync) - Items crafted from the fabricator can now be recycled - Fixed construction validation appearing incorrect on first equip of placement/build item - Removed collision from campfires - Fixed Mozzy interaction window failing to open on first interaction - Fixed several spawns occurring underwater - Made roach front seat unsafe like the rear seat so the passenger can crash if receiving a large force (fixes peeking exploit using roach front seat) - Adjusted camera positioning for crash state to fix peeking exploits - Plugged some holes in Nullius cliff faces and town events - Hurtworld is now Steam Deck compatible (basic support only)

Hi All, It's been a while since our last update, and we want to thank you all for your patience and continued support. We know that our anti-cheat framework hasn't been performing as expected in recent times, and we understand your frustrations. Tonight, we are releasing a small patch to address the most significant outstanding issues. Making the Switch to Epic Online Services The team behind Easy Anti-Cheat was acquired by Epic Games some time ago, with the aim of not only securing Fortnite but also offering the same level of security to other partners under the Epic Online Services banner. During this transition, the detection capabilities of EAC have slowly diminished. We're excited to announce that, with this update, we're switching from Easy Anti-Cheat to Epic Online Services. This change will significantly enhance our ability to detect and handle cheaters, ensuring a fair experience for all our players well into the future. Hurtworld will remain on STEAM We will not be moving from STEAM, nor do we have any plans to launch on the Epic Store in the near future. If we have integrated everything correctly, there should be no change to the way you play Hurtworld, unless you have cheats installed Patch will go live at 5pm Central European Time A full list of quality of life improvements will be posted when we go live

Hi All, Tonight we have a small but important hotfix to resolve some issues surrounding the construction system. This update doesn't require a wipe, but may cause small construction pieces to rotate after patch. We recommend an update but most servers will survive without it. As usual, if you're community server doesn't update immediately you can switch to our oldversion branch to continue playing. https://steamcommunity.com/app/393420/discussions/0/458606248620899162/ Change Log:

• Fixed various construction issues that let players break out of the constrained grid and stack walls next to eachother
• Fixed issue when teleporting (respawning, initial connection, mod teleports) where structure visuals wouldn't load in instantly allowing xray of bases
• Fixed errors loading savegames spamming rotation key 16 errors

Hi Hurtworldians, In the first dev update of 2020 we get back into things after the break and outline hotfix plans for this week as well as some of the features of the next content patch. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-162/

Initially Posted on Blog at http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-161/ Hey Hurtworldians! In just under 2 weeks time, December 10th, Hurtworld will be launching out of Early Access. This will include a patch introducing the new hand held rocket launcher, a new body kit for the Roach, and most importantly tons of bug fixes and polish. We decided not to go too heavy on the content for this patch and focused on long standing bug fixes to ensure we dont compromise on the stability of the game as we exit early access. What does exiting Early Access mean? For us Early Access isnt much more than a marketing tag, one that says there might be some rough edges and missing features right now, maybe check back later if youre not into that sort of thing. At this point we feel we have achieved everything we initially set as a list of goals when we started early access 4 years ago. While we dont see the game as ever complete, we think the current level of quality and set of features is indicative of what we want to maintain going forward. Rest assured we will continue to working on Hurtworld for as long as there are people playing it to ensure the game remains a stable multiplayer experience for years to come. Thanks to everyone who has come along the ride with us, lets get hype for a big launch!

Hi Hurtworldians! In this dev update we check out the finished art on the handheld rocket launcher, going into more detail about the next update and talk about server consolidation and restructure next wipe. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-160/

Hi Hurtworldians! In this weeks dev update we go detail about the next patch and early access release and check out the new upcoming hand held rocket launcher. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-159/

Hi Hurtworldians! Tonight we have a small but important hotfix that should fix trapdoors being exploited to get into rocks along with some additional fixes. As usual the best way to help us get bugs under control is to send us reproduction videos to support@bankrollstudios.com Credit for finally getting the hatch bugs fixed goes to onStyle Detection measures are still in place, exploiting of new bugs that arise will result in hardware bans for your whole team. Don't risk it.

Change Log

• Fixed hatch race condition that could be used to push into rocks
• Fixed emotes being used to enable equipment while inside vehicles
• Fixed player map markers spamming errors
• Temporarily disabled tether bow to investigate possible exploits
• Further extended inside rock detection and reporting mechanism

Hi Hurtworldians! In tonight's update we have our first watercraft named the "Barra", sure to get those afraid of flying to and from the islands with far less stress. Our second major feature is expanding our map with 2 new town types Factory and Bandit Village. We also have a range of bug fixes and some background performance updates. This patch forces wipe on all servers. Happy hunting.

Change Log

• Added Barra power boat
• Refactored how loot drops during a helicopter crash. Now the mozzy corpse will collect all loot including player gear drops, amber claim and mozzy storage. Items will be dispensed on dissasembly. Death markers will only show where you died, not track your loot.
• [MAP]Added 2 new town: Factory and Bandit Village replacing a bunch of duplicate towns

  [ 2019-08-01 16:05:38 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hi Hurtworldians! In this weeks dev update we check out a new town event, our first watercraft the Barra and detail the next content patch. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-158/

Hi Hurtworldians, This patch focuses on server and client stability and performance. There is still a lot of work to do, more performance updates coming in next patch. Official servers will wipe with this patch. Wipe is optional for community servers. Next wipe will go back to our Thursday night 2 week schedule for each timezone and will be accurate in the server browser and will kick off automatically. As per usual, servers slow to update can still be accessed by switching to the oldversion branch on steam.

Change Log

• Improved handling of Mozzy to be more predictable
• Added profiling diagnostic info to help locate rendering bottlenecks
• Reduced VRAM usage on lower end machines
• Changed allocation of Items back to use pooled structures to reduce server spikes
• Fixed issue with lod colliders popping in for towns
• Fixed various build bounds issues with construction prefabs
• Fixed crash caused by too many audio sources
• Improved creature animation lodding

Hi Hurtworldians! Tonight we have a small hotfix to improve helicopter flying on servers under heavy load. There was an issue where if a server stopped receiving packets from a player for any reason, the current input controls would be kept until the packets start coming in again. This logic works well when running through a field on foot, but holding full left stick when flying a Mozzy for half a second too long means eating explosions. While we will continue to work on server performance this month to solve the interruptions for good, for now, input controls will revert to neutral with throttle down so you don't drop out of the sky or flip over when packets are lost. We are aware of a few other issues like Fridges not working right now and will have more fixes in the coming week. Happy hunting!

Hi Hurtworldians, We just pushed out a quick server only hotfix for some creature spawn issues and missing Airdrops. Yeti's and Clay were the worst affected and should be fixed now. No client update required. Happy Hunting!

Hi Hurtworldians! Tonight we have the long awaited Island Hopper content update which brings a ton of things that have been in the works for a long time. Biggest features include the expansion of Nullius to include various exotic islands some of which can be claimed fought over and claimed, others with challenging farming routes and big rewards. To make room for the islands, we have scaled down the main island of Nullius by 25%, we think this improves the feel of the map a ton also, making it much more tightly packed. Less running more gunning. The Mozzy helicopter now has some serious teeth with the addition of hornet rocket pods coming in 3 flavours: Mining, Combat and Raiding rockets. Rapidly speed up your farming routes by sniping resource nodes with mining rockets or blast away your enemies bases with the mega powerful (and expensive) raiding rockets.
Expect to see some unfamiliar faces on the islands as we roll out 6! new creatures with new loot and combat mechanics. Be careful... these guys are made to be a very tough challenge to even experienced players. In the meantime we've also added a ton of bug fixes and quality of life updates. See the change log for full details. This patch requires a wipe on all servers. As we are wiping on a Tuesday we will extend this wipe cycle until the 4th of July. Happy hunting amigos!

Change Log

• Added many new islands to Nullius map
• Scaled mailand nullius down by 25%
• Added Skoogler Creature
• Re-added Antor hive with Antor Creatures
• Added Bandril Creature
• Re-added thornling Creature
• Added Sabra creatire
• Added Rafaga creature
• Added Rocket pods attachment for Mozzy
• Added 3 types of rockets (Mining, Combat and Raiding)
• Added Iron Door
• Added Iron Garage Door
• Added Iron Floor
• Added new teir of workbench: Fabricator
• Added new metal Galvanite
• Added Galvanite Pickaxe
• Rebalanced how campfires work to not overheat you as much
• Updated lighting in green biome
• Added SAM sites around the map that fire at any occupied Mozzy where the pilot doesn't own the cell its in
• Reduced the restrictions on territory control points heavily. Lockout is disabled, anything can now be built on them including beds and machines. Lastly nobuild surrounding them has been removed (might need to tweak this)
• Extended territory control ownership system on islands to claim the entire island (and control of the SAM sites), he who controls the territory controls the whole island.

Hi Hurtworldians! We just dropped a new extended cut trailer for the Island Hopper Update with a much more in depth look at all the gameplay features new and old in the Hurtworld universe! https://youtu.be/6BIXfz1vsb0 Please spread the love and share it around <3 Patch is on its way, just putting the final touches on it now. ETA: 1 hour

Hi Hurtworldians! In this weeks dev update we check out a bunch of the new things going into Tuesdays patch including the new SAM sites, new metal type, and preview a few of the new islands. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-157/

Hi Hurtworldians! In this weeks update we have a ton of info on the upcoming patch and our release to exit early access. This is going to be a big one: Islands, New Creatures, Rocket Pods... unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances we've had to cancel this weeks patch and roll it into the big one on the 18th of June. Check out the full post for details: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-156/

Hey Hurtworldians, We've got another hotfix patch to go along with tonight's wipe. This patch stabilizes the tether system so we no longer have to break tethers when pushed past a force limit. We now also allow multiple players to be connected to the same tether network so they can setup tug of war style situations. Official servers have been wiped, for community servers this wipe is optional. As always 0.7.3.1 is currently live on the 'oldversion' branch so you can use this to play on community servers that haven't updated yet. Enjoy!

Changelog

• Improved stability of tether system, tethers no longer have a force limit that can break them
• Multiple players can now be connected to the same tether network
• Improved the vehicle 'is entry safe' check for unsafe seats (fixes Kanga entering a state where entering it will instantly cause a crash)
• Lengthened raid drill audio falloff (now matches legacy distances)

Hi Hurtworldians! In this weeks dev update we go into detail about the next content patch focusing on bringing all our new creatures to life as well as a first look at strapping mounted weapons to the Mozzy! Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-155/

Hey Hurtworldians, We've got a hotfix to go along with tonights wipe that fixes up a few map issues and fixes a Roach bug used to peek through walls along with a few other fixes. Due to map changes this patch enforces a wipe. As always you can use the 'oldversion' beta branch to stay on 0.7.3.0 and play on community servers that haven't installed the update yet. Enjoy!

Changelog

• Improved several icon poses
• Muzzle flash position for zero silencer fixed
• Reduced MAC10 pvp and pve damage (20 -> 15)
• Fixed broken ladders in hangar towns
• Fixed broken heavy crafters in hangar/servo wars towns
• Fixed inaccessible Kanga jump puzzles
• Added camo mask patterns to Dappler and Vista reddot sights
• Fixed using the Roach to peek through bases, Roach rear seat entry can now be blocked by other geometry and has its own connected passenger simulation so rear seat passenger can be knocked off

Hi Hurtworldians! Tonight we have a content patch for yall that introduces new water mechanics and some new inland water features in the lead up to our island hopping update. We also have the newest member of our weapon arsenal the MAC10 which should melt people up close and becomes even more badass with the rare gangster stock. You'll also find 2 new kickass town events as we work through replacing duplicate towns. Lastly there's a bunch of quality of life changes like finally fixing buggy fall damage when wedged between 2 objects.
Last weeks experiment of timelocked servers will be disabled for now, we will re-evaluate how this affects the game and will likely experiment with it more in future to cater to all players. The Linux build has been temporarily disabled due to a vulnerability in EAC. This patch requires a wipe on all servers. Happy Hunting.

Full Changelog

• Added Mac10 gun and attachments to game
• Added 2 new town events in start biome
• Added swimming and oxygen mechanics as well as 'wet' binary effect
• Updated graphics for sunscreen and poison sac
• Fixed a race condition allowing door colliders to briefly penetrate players
• Fixed many objects having the wrong material config (wrong impact particles + footstep sounds)
• Updated Nullius map adding inland water features + fixing overpowered base locations
• Added ultra basic water shader for potato mode
• Fixed a spot where you could get stuck in the 'Servo Wars' town event
• Fixed an issue where players would incorrectly receive fall damage when wedged between 2 unwalkable surfaces
• Improved muzzle flash positions on guns
• Fixed owrong icon poses

• [SDK] The clan registration window can now receive and display custom errors from server through ClanManager.RPCClanCreationError()
• [SDK] GiveItemTrigger works correctly again, a simple example has been configured inside the level template

Hi Hurtworldians, Unfortunately we have had to postpone the content patch until next Thursday due to some last minute serious issues with the Unity 2018 upgrade. Unity having dropped support for DX9, we had hoped that even min spec machines would have no trouble running under DX11. After distributing a test build to a few players we found a bunch of shader compilation / rendering issues on bottom end machines that are more work than we can handle for today. We also didn't see the performance benefits we had hoped on lower end machines. Given the circumstances we have decided to roll back to Unity 5.6 to ensure we maintain support for the bare minimum spec machines and continue to offer decent performance on total potato machines. Unfortunately migrating the content from this patch will take a few more days, to be released next Thursday. We've done our best to migrate the crucial quality of life fixes like name plates disappearing to this patch. As a consolation, we've decided to use this opportunity to try a new feature we've been toying with for a while:

Time Locked Servers

• Added timelock feature for servers that are only open during specific times of the day. This is a new feature we will be testing on official servers. This should make it feasible that regular people can be online for close to 100% of a servers uptime and be more competetive with players who can play all night. This should also reduce the chance of offline raids as there is a good chance most clans will have someone online during peak times. Usage: timelock (Must be the first command in your autoexec.cfg, cannot be changed at runtime, relies on autorestart when a server shuts down from your OS start script)
• Fixed a bug causing player nameplates to disappear
• Fixed some item serialization bugs + added extra debug messages to help find problems
• Added a new right click menu option to amber that will protect all your protectable items
• Fixed footsteps on metal surfaces using the grass footstep sound
• Removed door sounds until we fix them to be consistent
• Item descriptions now display on item tooltips
• Frozen steaks (cooked and raw) are now stackable
• Removed territory C4 from town loot crates
• Removed FR18 Probos Tip from town loot crates
• Added extra Shotgun Shell recipe that uses Shaped Ultranium instead of Shaped Mondinium
• Added descriptions to weather effect tooltips

Hi Hurtworldians, In this weeks dev update, we check out the new water mechanics, new Mac10 SMG, new town event grey boxes and new in depth trailer progress. New content patch dropping this Thursday 5pm Melbourne time yall Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-154/

Hey Hurtworldians, Along with the official server wipes (optional for community servers) we're rolling out a hotfix patch to fix a regression in the recycler that crept in with the last hotfix. Recycler returns should now be correct for all items. As always the 'oldversion' branch is pointing at the 0.7.1.4 version so you can continue to play on community servers that haven't updated yet. Hope to see you out there!

Changelog

• Fixed recycler returning too few materials for several items

Hey Hurtworldians, We've got another hotfix patch for you tonight to fix up how the tether system interacts with emotes and also fixing how the recycler calculates returned materials for items that are crafted in stacks. As always the 'oldversion' branch is hosting the last patch (0.7.1.3) so you can continue to play on community servers that haven't updated yet. Enjoy!

Changelog

• Being tethered now cancels any active emotes
• The recycler now correctly accounts for recipes that output a stack of items (Fixes Landcrab mines and others having incorrect recycling returns)

Hey Hurtworldians, Along with the wipe we've got a quick hotfix patch for you tonight to settle down some of the more serious tether bugs whilst we work on a more comprehensive fix as part of our Unity 2018 upgrade. Tethers will now snap when exceeding their new force limit which should prevent vehicles flying off at crazy directions when the tether finds itself trying to enforce an impossible to fit constraint. This wipe is optional for community servers. Additionally EAC should now work correctly for all platforms. As always the 'oldversion' beta branch has been set to 0.7.1.2 so you can continue to play on community servers that have not updated yet. Have fun!

Changelog

• Tethers now break when exceeding their force limit
• All vehicle types are now destroyed when failing their 'out of bounds' check
• Fixed a null reference issue in the crash system
• EAC should now load correctly on Mac and Linux clients

Hi Hurtworldians! In this detailed dev update, we outline details of the next big content patch as well as a roadmap for the near future of development. Highly recommended read if you're interested in the future of Hurtworld! Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-153/

Hi Hurtworldians, Tonight's hotfix aims to increase the stability of interactions around tethers and should make things run a little smoother.

Change Log

• Fixed the force position and visuals not matching up on tethers
• Added a min tether length to prevent flying feedback loop on short tethers on vehicles
• Fixed a bug where getting forced into a vehicle (or crash vehicle aka tether) would fail and kill you instantly and leave you in an invalid state
• Fixed not being able to be tethered while holding a heavy slot item

Hey Hurtworldians, We're releasing a small hotfix to take care of some issues with the latest 0.7.1.0 patch and reduce false positives in our DDoS protection system. Whilst this patch doesn't make any changes to the tether system yet we realize there are still several bugs and strange behaviours around tethering and will be working on sorting those out next week. As always the 'oldversion' beta branch is hosting 0.7.1.0 so you can continue to play on community servers before they update

Changelog

• Improved DDoS flood detection to reduce false positives
• Fixed incorrect hitbox setup on land crab mines
• Removed player collisions with poison traps (they still get triggered, this is just about restricting movement)
• Tokars now drop poison sacs correctly
• Improved camera positioning for crash 'vehicle'

Hi Hurtworldians! Tonight we have our first content patch since the V2 launch. This patch brings the first of the physics toys that should expand ways of interacting with objects out in the world.

Tether System

Cosmetics

Traps

Change Log

• Added new tethering system and tether bow item for tying players and vehicles together with rope
• Added several new vanity items (these items have no gameplay stats and are visual only)
• Added new 'Rebel' gear set replacing several items from the heat protection progression
• The combat helmet has been converted into a vanity item
• Added fake sleeper traps, these will explode when destroyed
• Added fake airdrop trap, these will call in an airdrop when placed, the cargo crate from this airdrop will explode when interacted with
• Landcrab mines, medusa vines and poison traps are returning from legacy
• Poison trap overhauled so it no longer destroys itself when triggered, instead it will need to be disassembled with a machine wrench
• Crosshair hit markers are now activated by the server rather than being client predicted (seeing a non-blue hit marker should now always be a reliable hit)
• Succulent plants and sunscreen are returning from legacy
• Inactive item transitions now also have a progress bar so falloff progress can be tracked
• Added irradiated owrong seeds as a new item transition from owrong seeds
• Plugged up several rock cave base locations in Nullius
• Fixed regressions in balance changes (Mozzy insurance cost and pistol rate of fire are now fixed again)
• Fixed machines not being irradiated properly
• Fixed TimedEffectZones trying to affect destroyed entities
• Fixed a potential null reference exception in MapComponentMarker
• Fixed Mozzys not consuming fuel properly

Hey Hurtworldians, Just a quick hotfix for this afternoon to update our EasyAntiCheat integration, all saves are still compatible and no wipes are required. As always 0.7.0.12 will be hosted on the 'oldversion' beta branch so you can continue to play on community servers that have not updated yet.

Hi Hurtworldians! Hotfix 0.7.0.12 is now live. Tonight's hotfix furthers our push in the war against DDOS attacks. While the attacks keep getting smarter and adapting to our network protocols, we believe we are patching out the last of the holes that allow targeted attacks to effectively bring down servers. This patch adds a new layer that allows the game process to pass IP addresses to the operating system to implement firewall filtering and free up the Hurtworld main thread from dealing with malicious packets. Server owners will find a new handle_ddos_ip.sh / handle_ddos_ip.bat in the server builds that will be called with an IP address as a parameter whenever the server process detects excessive data from a specific IP address. It is up to each server owner to configure this script to block the IP permanently / temporarily and will change greatly depending on OS configuration. Another powerful use for this would be calling out to your ISP's hardware firewall API and blocking the IPs from there (I know OVH supports this). We are currently working on an IPSet/IPTables implementation example for linux servers that we will push out in the next couple days. In the meantime competent server admins should be able to work filtering out.

Hi Hurtworldians! In this weeks dev update we check out some new gear, outline our plans for the next patch and unveil the flagship feature of our first V2 content patch which we're really excited about: Physics Tethers Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-152/

Hey Hurtworldians, We've delayed the major content patch until the next wipe (28th Feb, more info on this in our next devblog coming very soon) but have got a hotfix patch with some important bugfixes for you instead. Official servers are also wiping with this patch but community servers can make their own decision as saves are still compatible. As always the 'oldversion' beta branch is hosting 0.7.0.10 so you can continue to play on community servers until they update.

Full Changelog

• Improved camera collision detection again to stop players peeking into bases
• Fixed construction placement validation volumes on several construction pieces
• Fixed some layout issues in clan UI
• Added an extra player volume to sleepers so construction validation checks against them are identical to players
• Items with durability can no longer be recycled
• Halved Beretta 9mm Pistol fire rate
• Fixed players occasionally respawning at vehicles instead of their chosen respawn point
• Added a vertical offset to crash vehicle camera to stop it colliding with the ground when rolling (makes camera much smoother when crashing)
• Fixed ammo UI being cutoff for some languages
• Fixed Mozzy claiming not consuming the amber cost
• Fixed Mozzy sounds playing at incorrect times


[ 2019-02-15 10:04:32 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hi Hurtworldians, After a fair bit of chaos over the weekend where all our official servers were hit by a coordinated DDOS attack specifically designed to exploit a vulnerability in the network middle-ware we use, all official servers are back online and immune to the weekends attacks. All servers should be in the same state they were at the start of the attacks yesterday with no decay or amber consumption from stakes. We apologise for the downtime, and we are pretty confident that this vulnerability is now fixed and should make our official and community servers much more robust. Thanks for hanging in there with us.

Change Log:

• Big improvements to targeted DDOS attack protection
• Fixed Emote crouch bypassing stand up check and being used to get into rocks

Hi Hurtworldians, Tonight we have another critical but unexciting iterative hotfix patch to further work on server performance. This patch focuses heavily on runtime memory allocations reducing garbage collector spikes. This should take a lot of pressure off full servers, hopefully reducing the "rewind/backwards" lag spikes that are causing our receive buffers to cap out and lose packets. Not 100% there yet, we will keep iterating over the week. Change Log:

• Permanent fix for OSX crash from network API bypass
• Item invalidation / creation no longer allocates a ton of serverside allocations
• Removed a ton of redundant map marker network objects
• Ported object event subscriptions away from delegates to reduce allocations
• Reduced max CPU usage of weather systems and spawn director

Hey Hurtworldians, Another hotfix patch for you tonight with more improvements to DDoS protection and performance. We've also added some quality of life improvements in the form of a new storage item for heavy slot resources + an inverted pitch control option for Mozzys. We're also wiping official servers with this patch and community servers will be forced to wipe also when they update. As always the 'oldversion' beta branch is pointing at the previous version (0.7.0.6) so you can change to this to continue to play on community servers until they update.

Changelog

• Added a heavy storage rack for storing heavy slot items
• Improved DDoS protection
• Added MinSpikeDebugTime console setting that will configure how often warnings for long frames will be output. Defaults to 5 seconds, will output a warning whenever a frame takes longer than the time (in seconds). If profiling server performance, a value of 0.5 should provide some good insight. We are curious what the max these spikes get up to on community servers
• Added invert pitch option toggle for helicopters
• Fixed in game changelog not showing properly
• Improved positioning of owrong and bandage items
• Improved entity update tick timing when in low performance situations (should improve smoothness and consistency when running FPS less than twice the tick rate)
• Added handling for EAC shutdown error preventing servers from shutting down and restarting smoothly

Hi Hurtworldians! It's been a wild couple of weeks keeping the wheels on V2 with the massive influx of players from our launch. It's been amazing to see everyone jumping in to what we've been working on in the background and giving some awesome feedback. We're slowly getting things under control and are laying plans for our next content releases and server wipe cycles. Check out the full details here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-151/

Hey Hurtworldians, We've got another hotfix patch for you tonight with more improvements to performance (especially server side), fixing items that could have been recolorable but weren't and fixing the third person camera to stop players peeking inside bases with strange camera angles. We've also fixed a MacOSX networking issue that was preventing clients from connecting to servers. Please note we still need to fix some shader compilation issues on some Mac setups that cause the server connection to time out on the first try, make sure to try joining a server more than once if you are having problems! As always the 'oldversion' beta branch is pointing at the previous version (0.7.0.5) so you can continue to play on community servers before they update.

Changelog

• Fixed an issue with MacOSX version not being able to connect to servers
• World item generation refactored and performance improved (should help with item falling through world issues)
• Mozzy chassis can now be recolored and will accept Mozzy paint masks
• Improvised bow can now be recolored
• Improved camera near clipping plane collision detection (fixes being able to peek into bases by placing your camera at strange angles in third person perspective)
• Fixed race condition in server interaction blast casts
• Reduced memory allocations resulting in more consistent performance

Hi Guys, Tonight's hotfix further iterates on network stability and performance. We located some serious issues with our background network thread that were being exploited by targeted DDOS attacks to bring down servers. These should now be fixed along with significantly reduced ram usage on the client and the server. The reduced ram usage should solve the issues people with low ram have been having connecting to servers since the last patch.

Change Log

• Patched an exploit in RPC layer that could be used to crash the server with malformed packets
• Fixed race conditions in background network thread
• Removed over eager allocation of network message buffers using tons of ram
• Reduced frame lease pool of network messages on client (less ram usage)
• Added "frameleasebitstreampool " console command to expand bitstream pool. Increase this if you are getting frame lease exceeded by . Default on the server is 1500, only increase by amounts exceeded.

Hi Hurtworldians, EDIT: We're bringing all V2 servers down to upgrade them all to 64 bit. Will take about half an hour. Tonight we have a server performance hotfix that should alleviate a lot of the movement corrections on full servers. There is still a bit of work to do on the server perf but this should be a good step towards getting everything tickityboo. This patch also fixes the autodetection of low ram mode which was getting stomped by the fixes to the configuration saving. For server owners we also added a new admin command to jump the connection queue. Usage: jumpqueue As well as the ability to use rcon from inside the queue. The "playerid" command will put your steamid into your clipboard for quick jumping of self through queue. Lastly server connection issues now render on top of the UI. We'll be monitoring the servers to ensure the fixes are improving things and will keep working on perf improvements into the weekend. Thanks for your patience, happy hunting.

Hi Hurtworldians, Usually we would post a devblog outlining the status of all the issues we are working on, but given the urgency of fixing the server performance I've opted to throw a quick status update out so we can keep working on getting it resolved. The last patch we put out contained profiling code that allowed us to monitor our busy official servers in realtime and analyse the data. We've now identified the root cause of the lag spikes happening across busy servers and are working hard to get it resolved. The good news is that the issue is fairly contained and should only take a couple of days to repair, once this is done I expect our servers to run flawlessly. Given the weekend is approaching and the repairs may take me a couple of days, Tom is working on a quick fix that will significantly improve the situation until the proper fix is complete. Hopefully this will mean we have things in a decent state by the weekend. Thanks for your patience <3

Hi Hurtworldians, Tonight's hotfix focuses mainly on improving server performance. While this patch won't give big gains, it gives us the tools to profile our servers and determine whats causing the lag spikes. Players being starved of entity spawns should be now fixed. Ram optimisation on the client should have also improved a lot. Low ram mode has been moved into the game options and will automatically turn on for anyone with less than 5gb of ram. This is a quick fix for people with 4gb of ram struggling to get into game, we will likely improve the solution in future so everyone can have access to full res textures. We are working around the clock to isolate the server performance issue, I have high hopes everything will be sorted by the weekend. Happy hunting!

Full Changelog

• Deferred spawn system no longer starves players that joined the game late of entity spawns
• Removed Low Ram Mode from launch options and added to options menu
• Added automatic Low Ram detection
• Fixed options not saving on restart
• Heavily optimised meteor showers and cargo plane network traffic
• Removed nonsense numbers from "debug 1" text
• Removed a ton of useless server debug messages
• Server is now forced to use low ram mode
• Crunched a bunch of level textures that didn't need to be high res

Hey Hurtworldians, We've just pushed out a hotfix patch containing a Low Ram Mode launch option to help players on low spec machines connect to servers as well as some other small fixes and UI hints. As always the previous build is available on the 'oldversion' beta branch so you can continue to play on community servers that have not updated yet. Full patch notes below:

0.7.0.1 Changelog:

• Removed default ping filter from server browser. Server browser pings are often inaccurate, use in game ping as indicator through 'debug 1' in console
• Added Low Ram Mode as launch option
• Disabled turning off EAC
• Beds can now be placed without build rank on clan ownership cells if you are part of the clan
• Added ping indicator in debug text (f1 -> debug 1)
• Fixed door costs being out of sync with UI

Hi Hurtworldians! Tonight we have our new Territory Control system rolling out to all experimental servers. This system adds 10 special construction cells to the map that reward clans with bragging rights of controlling the map as well as accumulate points towards upcoming clan vanity systems. Currently PVP points do nothing but rank your clans, soon they will be able to be used to unlock various things in game. These build cells allow use of a much cheaper C4 variant and only allow building with weak materials to keep things volatile. Players who die inside these cells will be locked out for a period of time allowing a fairer online PVP experience. We've also done a fairly large overhaul of machine graphics as well as redesigned all the male characters. All players should see a decent performance increase as the first step of our optimisation with much more to come in the near future. Vehicle attachment spawns have been boosted by a massive amount to make vehicles more accessible in the leadup to our revamp of vehicles coming soon to bring things back closer to V1. Happy Hunting!

Full ChangeLog

• Added territory control points all over the map that reward clans with PVP points
• Clans are now ranked in the clans screen by points accumulated
• Added new territory c4 for raiding territory control points. This is far cheaper than normal c4

• Updated fire pit visuals
• Updated locker visuals
• Updated c4 visuals

• Fixed duplicate environment assets spawning in the map
• Polished a lot of the clan UI
• Made shoreline not so shit
• Redisigned first and third person hands to not look like french fries
• Clan tags now show in chat
• Massively boosted vehicle attachment spawns on world chassis

Hi Hurtworldians! In this weeks dev update we go into detail about the upcoming endgame territory control PVP system, check out the revamped workbench and ownership stake, character head revamp and date for the next patch. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-143/

Hi Hurtworldians! Tonight we have a decent sized patch with the first cut of the new Clans system. The system allows you to manage your group, easily identify who your mates are, and track them on the map. Along with the system there is also a Clan totem that will allow you to authorize your entire clan in one click on an ownership territory. By itself the clans system won't have a massive impact, but lays some important groundwork for some endgame systems that will be dependent on having these things in place. We've also overhauled how our interaction UI works, things should be a lot more consistent when interacting with machines and other interaction windows like handcrafting. Happy Hunting!

Full Changelog (0.6.3.0)

• Overhauled interaction UI to allow multiple touches on client and clicking through available interactables

Hi Hurtworldians! In this weeks update I've written part one of a multi part essay series where I word vomit design thoughts on how we are gonna make V2 the best game ever based on our discussions in the forums etc. Beware wall of text! Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-137/

Hi Hurtworldians, In tonight's patch we have my all time favorite gun in Hurtworld so far... the FR18. It fits into the mid game to serve as a long rang weapon that can be farmed entirely in the noob zone. It has much lower damage than the AWM, but makes up for it with high rate of fire, nice ironsights and cost effectiveness. I'm excited about this one.
Fragment Refactor This process ended up being a bigger job than we expected and decided to roll back most of the changes until next patch so we don't completely break the meta. We did a balance pass to remove the really rubbish fragments and buffed under powered ones, you should still find a more consistent range of fragments. More on these next patch.
New Town Events This patch introduces two new town events to replace some of the duplicates around the map. We will continue to replace these until they are all unique. We've tried to create some more open spaces in the events to give our longer range weapons some more PVP purpose.
See you out there ːcsgogunː

Changelog 0.6.2.0

Hi Hurtworldians! In today's dev update we check out the 2 new town events, new gun skins, the item fragment refactor, server stability upgrades and open a discussion with the community about the eternal battle of V1 vs V2. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-136/

Hey Hurtworldians! Tonight we've got a small bugfix patch to fix up a few small map issues as well as item disppearing into vehicle inventories. As always the last active patch (0.6.1.0) will be available on the 'oldversion' branch so you can continue to play on community servers until they get around to updating. We've also got a new blog looking at the 0.6.1.0 patch as well as some attachments for the upcoming FR18. Check it out at hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-134

Full Changelog

• Fixed vehicle inventories so they can no longer 'lose' items
• Fixed a spawn point that was spawning players on top of a rock they could not safely leave
• Fixed some town event markers appearing too small on the map
• Added console command 'networkloglevel ' for controlling the network log filter on the server

Hey Hurtworldians! Tonight we've got a new experimental patch wipe cycle that adds weather events, replaces the starting beach with a new tropical look and rebalances the gear progression to encourage a longer farming period before pushing into the snow and red desert biomes. We've also got a few bugfixes, most importantly fixing the regression in hitboxes / hit detection introduced in the 0.6.0.3 hotfix and also making servers less vulnerable to DDoS attacks which unfortunately have been an issue recently. As always the 'oldversion' steam branch will contain the patch prior to this one(0.6.0.3) so you can continue to play on community servers that haven't gotten around to updating yet. Good luck out there!

Full Changelog

• Added weather events to all biomes, these will affect temperature levels and player visibility
• The starting beach area has a new tropical look and feel
• Progression of gear has been rebalanced removing some items and combining others, crafting costs and protection levels have also been tweaked

• Fixed incorrect rarity on mega mine power and chop power fragments (rare -> legendary)
• Added Jacket and Bomber Jacket as new vanity items
• Added Machine Wrench to Titranium Workbench recipes
• Reduced toxin build up rate from Mondinium resource nodes

• Fixed Heatproof Mining Drill returning Coldproof Mining Drill when disassembled
• Heatproof Mining Drill can now only be placed in the Red Desert

Hey Hurtworldians! This week the tropical biome gets implemented, bugs get stomped and the FR18 moves close to completion. Read all about it at... http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-133/

Hey everyone, Tonight we've got another bugfix update fixing problems in the mesh baking system that could cause world items to fall through the ground. We've also improved physics performance and fixed up featured servers not showing correctly. As always the 'oldversion' steam beta branch will be pointing at the last released build (0.6.0.2) so you can continue to play on community servers that haven't updated yet.

Full Changelog

• Fixed a bug in the item display data manager that could cause it to crash and never recover (Fixes items failing to render and world items falling through ground)
• Improved physics performance (server and client)
• Fixed several console commands throwing errors when invoked during server start up
• Improved how steam ID sessions are recorded, should help "Active session with same SteamID" issue
• Fixed an issue where players could get into a loop where they would constantly request data about an item that doesn't exist from the server
• Added the console command 'itempingenabled ' for servers to control whether players can link items to chat
• Fixed an issue causing featured servers not to appear in the server browser as featured

Hey everyone, Tonight we've got a small bugfix update for the experimental branch fixing up some issues with shacks, amber protection and vehicle claiming. As always the 'oldversion' steam beta branch will be pointing at the last released build (0.6.0.1) so you can continue to play on community servers that haven't updated yet.

Full Changelog

• Vehicles can now be claimed without any parts installed
• Fixed a bug where the amber cost could still be consumed when failing to claim a vehicle
• Added extra placement validation to shacks to ensure their spawn point does not overlap into level geometry (eg. inside rocks)
• Shacks will be unavailable as a spawn option if something (eg. C4) is blocking the spawn point
• After upgrading an amber protected item the upgraded item will not drop its amber cost on the first death (the item will still be protected however)

Hi Hurtworldians! This week Tom gets his hands dirty in the workshop working on the vehicles, Teh Splatt moves to a tropical Island biome and Mils heads to the rifle range to work on the new FR18 rifle. Follow the link to see more... http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-132/

Hi Guys, Tonight we have a small update for the experimental branch which fixes the nasty construction duping bug that emerged this week as well as a few other balance and bug fixes. This will include a wipe on official servers to level the playing field from dupe exploiters, but is not mandatory for community servers. CHANGES 0.6.0.1 - Fixed construction duping bug - Client side torch performance improved - Increased vehicle chassis spawn rates - Increased vehicle part drop chance from chassis disassembly - Improved basic rock resource node visuals at low level of detail - Amber insurance drops from owned vehicles no longer despawn due to time out - Fixed various small map issues

Hi Hurtworldians, In this weeks dev blog, we check out the new tropical biome, scout rifle progress, and plans for our next couple of releases. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-131/

Hi Hurtworldians! Tonight we have a brand new map built from the ground up to have more open space, make vehicles more useful, create more memorable areas and is our most ambitious design yet. There are a bunch of areas which still feel very empty, especially in the start desert. We will be continuing to fill these with love over the next few patches. That said, I think we have a bunch of really cool elements that will grow into the map Hurtworld needs and will open up many new gameplay opportunities, paving the way for the release of the Slug (Truck) and Mozzy (Helicopter) to have a purpose in the metagame.
We have also started work on making some of the world events more localized, like more frequent meteor showers in focused areas, giving less loot each + more airdrops that can only be heard if you are in range of them etc. This patch should slightly balance out the defense / offence raiding status with double the det cap drop rate along with increased airdrops. Happy Hunting

Full Changelog

• New map "Nullius"
• Meteor shower spawn locations restricted to map focal points
• New world we call "Nullius"
• Increased detcap drop rate
• Removed iron+titranium showers form snow and red desert
• Completely rebuilt all biomes for map "Nullius"
• Increased iron+titranium shower frequency but reduced meteor count
• Made resource spawns more more clustered as you progress through the world. Some areas have none, some have heaps, get yo explore on.
• Fixed owrong farming seed yield
• Something something new map...
• Reduced C4 Amber Cost
• Moved AWM to cold progression
• Airdrop plane flies lower and has shorter sound falloff
• Buffed Yeti and Dark Yeti health (650 -> 975) and normalized health (3 -> 4.5)
• Removed vehicle drops (including scrap) from air drop loot
• Fixed the fridge

Hi Hurtworldians! In this weeks dev update, we go into depth about design in the new map releasing on Friday as well as a look at the new scout rifle. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-130/

Hi Hurtworldians, Experimental branch patch 0.5.9.0 is now live. Unfortunately we are going to have to postpone the new map release until next week. We've been working around the clock trying to get it ready for public consumption but at this point it still has quite a few issues that we need to resolve. Either way, Tom has been cooking up a few gameplay changes that we will push out tonight with a wipe to tide you over for another week. We will leave the default map set to diemensland for this short week wipe cycle.

Hi Hurtworldians! In this weeks dev update we check out the finished chopper paint skins, flesh out some town event art, start a heavy server performance optimization pass and talk about the new features going into the next patch. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-121/

Hi Hurtworldians, This hotfix patch fixes up some issues with item serialization that were causing UI bugs and other problems within the item system. The item coloring window will now close other interaction windows when it opens and we've upated our default content collection in our SDK. Changelog:

• Fixed a bug where the item coloring window wouldn't close other open interaction windows
• Fixed a bug where item serialization was breaking, fixes undefined behaviour bugs in item and ui systems
• Item Namers are now stackable
• Added default assets back to SDK and updated them

Hi Hurtworldians, A small hotfix for last nights patch is now live. Both changes will retroactively fix existing items that already have these fragments applied. Changelog:

Hi Hurtworldians, Tonight we have a pretty big update for the Experimental branch which greatly extends the item upgrade system and refactors how respawning works. There is now a big library of item upgrades (now called Fragments) that can be applied across most items. Items upgraded through the workbench will now keep their upgrades as they progress through core tiers. Visual customization has also been extended to allow full color customization of most gear and equipment with the spray can item as well as custom patterns. Respawning has been decoupled from the ownership stake with the new Bed machine. Rapid respawning at base will now cost you amber. FULL CHANGELOG

Hi Hurtworldians, In this weeks dev update, we check out the new bed device that will drastically change how respawning works and go into detail about our item upgrade system flesh out. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-120/

Hi Hurtworldians, In this weeks dev update we check out the first body kit for the upcoming chopper, talk about whats coming up in our next patch, and look a little deeper into the roadmap. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-119/

Hi Guys, We have a quick hotfix for Fridays patch that addresses a couple of critical issues. This patch won't force a wipe and we will leave the official servers unwiped, it was a coin toss for us given there was possible accidental item duping, we don't think the issue would be widespread enough to warrant a wipe, if you feel otherwise let us know. Change Log:

• Fixed Item Duping Bug in Recycler (Proper fix this time)
• Fixed spear doing stupid amounts of damage
• Changed code structures to allow oxide plugins to have more control over chat messages

Hi Guys, Today's patch contains a rough sketch of our new town event system which will periodically activate a town with a control point to capture. The player who holds the point for a period of time will be rewarded with valuable loot. The town system is pretty rough right now, this patch mainly lets us test the framework and see how it fits into the survival game before fleshing out more interesting events. We've also added the first test items for allowing players to make their items unique. Item naming, and incremental pickaxe attackspeed modifiers allow you to make that pickaxe your own. We will be fleshing this out to many more items and modifiers in future. You will find the raid drill has returned, and raiding costs have been skewed more towards Amber as well as increased the farm rate of Amber by added drops from creatures as well as Poverty Juice Potion. This should create a good amber sink for endgame players while allowing earlier game players to cope with being hunted a little better with amber naturally flowing towards the highest geared players. We've also done a pass on balance from the last patch which we will continue to iterate on in coming weeks. Our best source of balance feedback comes from you guys, keep the suggestion threads coming, we are listening. Full Change Log:

• Added town event system
• Added the ability to name items with Item Naming Scroll
• Added incremental pickaxe attack speed buff item. Speed buffs will be cleared when crafting a higher tier pickaxe (fixed in next patch) so I would advise saving your buff gems util you are happy with your pickaxe level.
• Added poverty juice consumable - Increases amber drop rate by 1.5 but removes all other items from drops
• All animals now drop amber at the same rate as rocks, reduced amber drop rate to account for increased number of sources
• Removed arrows from airdrop loot
• Reduced frequency of Air Drops
• Reduced frequency of Meteor Showers and increased node loot
• Added gun distance damage falloff curve system
• Reduced shotgun damage over longer ranges
• Increased shotgun craft cost
• Slightly reduced AR15 damage
• Audio improvements - Fixed lots of voice hogs that were causing cut outs, improved voice priority
• Air Drops flip over less, smoke should still be visible when upside down
• Fixed female ears popping through beanie
• Made item destruction on recycler safer "should" fix duping issue
• General Map Improvements
• Fixed bug where amber protection wouldn't protect property on sleeper death
• Fixed bug with stat serialization on sleeper death
• Fixed bug where shigis would drop frozen steak
• Added Raid Drill to Iron Workbench
• C4 crafting recipe rebalanced to be more amber heavy and less fat
• Fixed issue in bush billboards that would lose alpha cutouts
• Added town event deathmatch game mode (See Fight Yard and Servo Wars on workshop)
• Sped up chat scroll
• Linking items in chat should now show translated names if not renamed
• Fixed team deathmatch game mode
• Fixed camera smoothing from third to first person on vehicle exit/entry

Hi Hurtworldians! In this weeks dev update we check out the finished helicopter base chassis, our second town event layout and event go into detail about how our first town events will be structured. We also look at refactoring how base spawning works and refactor the vehicle system to support the chopper. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-118/

Hi Hurtworldians, In this weeks dev update, we work on implementing the foundations of the Helicopter, incorporate town events into a deathmatch game mode for rapid testing, bug fixes, and say farewell to Mr Cow_Trix. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-117/

Hi Hurtworldians, In this weeks dev update, we check out the upcoming item customization systems including naming items, and buffing stats. Got into a bit of detail about the upcoming world town event system and a bunch more. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-116/

Hi Hurtworldians, In this weeks dev update we talk about the plans for this weeks mega hotfix / wipe, check out the new upcoming tropical beach biome and the first cut of the Mozzy helicopter low poly. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-115/

Hi Hurtworldians, After a few gamebreakers in tonight's patch we've decided to start fresh on all the ItemV2 servers with a wipe of the last few hours. This patch resolves the following issues:

• Air Drops were scaling based on player numbers to a rediculous frequency in full servers. This should be much more reasonable now
• Meteor showers were too frequent, slight nerf here
• Amber insurance drops on expensive items would sometimes drop more amber than the initial cost on death
• Servers would wipe on every restart

Hi Hurtworldians, Experimental Patch 0.5.0.0 is now live on all experimental servers. This patch brings ItemV2 back very close to balance and progression of Legacy with a few experiments to spice things up.

Amber Protection + Full Loot + Durability Abolished

Vehicle Beacons

More Meteor Showers

Airdrops

New Map

Recycler

Performance Issues

Hi Hurtworldians! In this weeks dev blog we are all hands on deck polishing up the most exciting ItemV2 release in a while (Tomorrow 5pm Melbourne time), we also check out the new map. Read out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-114/

Hi Guys, Here we have a hotfix for some of the issues with the experimental patch released on Friday night. Along with some female character improvements. We will be continuing to refine the balance of the experimental branch throughout the week. Change Log:

• Added Totems to Wood Workbench
• Fixed not being able to get out of vehicles
• Vehicle Air Drops now come driveable
• Did a pass on the female characters

Hi Hurtworldians! Today we have a very rough cut of some of the new systems we've been working on in the experimental branch. Theres a ton of stuff in there, some of it working, some of it half cocked. Rather than try to polish it up we've rolled up a test build to get some feedback while we iterate. The map for this build is "zonetest" much smaller than mangatang, it will get crowded, but will also play well with lower player numbers. The name of the game here is Air Drops, Meteor Strikes, Vehicles and Gunfights. This patch also introduces 3 new playable female characters. Expect bugs, possible midweek wipes n stuff. Enjoy!

Hi Hurtworldians, In this weeks dev update, we talk in detail about upcoming releases and development plans, check out our pipeline for porting over gear to fit our female model, improve vehicle physics, and squash bugs. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-109/

Hi Hurtworldians! In today's dev update we check out another wicked bow design by Mils, start a bit of RnD on porting all our gear over to suit a female character, and introduce the new Heavy Slot system. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-108/

Hi Hurtworldians, In this weeks dev update, we go continue the not so exciting (but crucial) world of bug fixing and stability work to get ItemV2 out the door. We check out more bow attachments, and work towards getting meteors and air drops in game. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-107/

Hi Hurtworldians! In this weeks devblog we check out what minable meteors are going to look like, finally replacing the temp amber icon, chat window V2, and we churn our way through outstanding bugs. Our schedule has been knocked around a bit by most of the team getting sick last week and us focusing on bug fixes over content for a bit. This week there will be no wipe or patch this Friday and we will aim to get most of the stuff we've been working on out next Friday. Longer term we want to get ItemV2 out on the main branch as soon as possible, but don't want to do that until we know its rock solid. Optimistically that will be around the end of the year, but in reality, it will be "ready when its ready". Check out the full blog update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-106/

Hi Hurtworldians! In this weeks Dev Update we check out upcoming meteor showers, the completed re-curve bow and spending some time stomping lots of outstanding bugs. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-105/

Hi Hurtworldians! Tonight's experimental patch introduces our first in game minimap / map, laying the groundwork for our dynamic hotspot build coming up soon. We have also added functional silencers to the AWM and AR15 along with a pass on sound falloffs across the board. For those new to the game, you can access the experimental branch by right clicking Hurtworld in steam and selecting "Play ItemV2 Experimental". In this branch you will only be able to join servers labelled "ItemV2 Experimental".

Change Log:

Hi Hurtworldians, In this weeks dev blog, we check out the completed Slug (Truck) + Air Drop Art, the new in-game map, details about this Friday's patch and a new experimental mode we are working on. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-103/

Hi Hurtworldians, In this weeks dev update, we talk about the upcoming Air Drop mechanic, an in game map, weather 2.0 and weapon skinning. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-102/

Hey Hurtworldians! In todays patch we're experimenting with visual options for items, attachments for the AR15 and AWM, adding server config options and the return of the raid drill. Most clothing items as well as the AR15 and AWM have been setup with several visual options, when one of these items is created it does a random roll to pick one of these looks (based on probability, so some looks are rarer than others). This should help to reduce the 'Ronald MacDonald Syndrome' found in legacy Hurtworld where everyone appears the same (red jacket and yellow pants). AR15s and AWMs now have nested item slots again like you may have seen in earlier experimental patches. Both guns spawn with initial parts in these slots so they are instantly usable, the stock AWM is a fixed setup and the AR15 randomly selects its attachments (but it cannot roll rare attachments such as the red dot sights). Attachments can be equipped by dragging and dropping them over the gun you want to attach them to or you can right click the gun and select inspect from the context menu. Once the inspection window is open the attachments can be dragged into their relevant slots. Attachment drops have been added into town loot caches and Antor nodes, happy hunting! We've also made some long awaited changes to server configurations, first up loot modes can now be set through the console command 'playerlootmode'. This can be set to drop everything, backpack only (like legacy with 0 infamy), backpack + 1/2/3 random item/s, drop nothing and destroy everything. Also configurable by popular demand is bunnyhopping through the console command 'bhopfriction <0/1>' Also returning in this patch is the raid drill which we've simplified and streamlined. The new raid drill is 2 parts instead of 3, now just a base and drill bit. The base is crafted out of the mondinium workbench or the ammunition crafter and once crafted is able to be deployed on its own. Once deployed you'll need to drop a drill bit and some gasoline into the drill to start drilling. Once in action the drill works similarly to legacy except there is no coolant slot to worry about and manage. This patch also includes a hotfix for the OSX version of legacy Hurtworld (0.3.8.9)

Full Changelog:

• Most clothing and some weapons now have a range of different looks, one is selected based on probability when the item is created. Some looks are much rarer than others
• Items with internal storage (like items that can take attachments) can now be inspected through the right click context menu, this allows you to see what items are equipped in what slots and see their tooltips
• Weapon attachments have been configured for the AR15 and AWM rifles, when an attachment is equipped (by dragging the attachment into the item or into a slot in the inspection window) the attachment it is replacing will be destroyed
• Server loot mode can now be configured, choose between: None, BackpackOnly, BackpackOnlyPlusOne, BackpackOnlyPlusTwo, BackpackOnlyPlusThree, Everything or DestroyAll
• Bunnyhop friction can now be set on or off through 'bhopfriction '
• Improved shot validation in third person to properly account for camera offset
• Added world item meshes for Stone Brick and Armor Panel construction materials
• Reduced compass world item scale to a sensible level
• Fixed a bug that was causing player animation transitions to become much longer than intended
• The raid drill has been reintroduced and simplified by removal of the coolant mechanic
• Set a more aggressive falloff profile for several creature sounds (so distance has an increased effect on volume)
• Roaches can now spawn with doors in the right attachment slot
• Improved subframe primary input detection to make it easier to single fire automatic weapons

Hi Hurtworldians! In Hurtworld Update 101 we check out the new hand designed loot colors, making bunnyhopping and loot modes configurable, new world items, SDK update released, PVP iteration plans n' all that good stuff. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-101/

Hi Guys, Tonight we have some critical bug fixes rolling out for both legacy and experimental to address some exploits that have come up this week. I also pour some beer on the ground for my homie "teleporting bugged creatures" that has been with us since I wrote the AI system and is now fixed. RIP

Experimental 0.4.6.1 Changelog

• Removing vehicle seats with players in them will act the same as vehicles being destroyed. Players will be kicked if there is space for them to get out, otherwise they will be killed.
• Fixed the long standing bug where creatures would render client side a long way from their actual position if their last movement happened beyond your subscribed network cells.

Legacy 0.3.8.9 Changelog

• Removed bakenavmesh command which was being used as an exploit.

Hi Hurtworldians! For our 100th(!) dev update we check out upcoming changes to the no build system, progress on the upcoming 0.4.7.0 experimental patch, changes to the build biome, sharing gun attachments, progress on our map tools and more. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-100/

Hi Guys, Below are the delayed patch notes from Fridays release Tonight's patch was planned to be the unveiling of the new ItemV2 Red Desert. After a bit of iteration on stuff that looked really cool from the sky, the biome ended up feeling pretty rubbish from the ground. Overall it was far too big without enough stuff. While trying to get the map up to scratch I didn't have much time to work on the actual progression. Long story short, red desert is pretty useless in this build.
Good news is, Cow_trix and Splatt have been puttering away quietly on the central forest build biome, and its feeling really fricken awesome. Aside from heaps more occlusion, detail and points of interest in the build biome, its also grown significantly. The gated biomes have gotten much smaller, leaving more room for building and PVP gameplay.
Given that the red desert is pretty moot right now, and the build biome is massive, we made a couple of changes to make this build awesome: 1. Vehicles are much easier to get, some spawn with parts on, and you remove and add all vehicle parts. 2. All resources spawn in the build biome in small clusters. Meaning if you want to slowly etch out a living off somewhere in the build biome without venturing into the gated zones you can. Gated zones will yield progression much faster. Enjoy xoxo

Full Changelog:

• All vehicle parts are now removable and swappable
• Build biome is much larger
• Added shitty red desert
• Ultranium from red desert can craft entry level vehicle parts
• Reworked build biome layout scattering and detail
• Updated roads rendering

Hi Hurtworldians! In this weeks dev update, we check out fleshing out the biomes with non intrusive farmland, a preview of the red desert layout, we re look at rare loot spawning frequency, spraycan worlditems and more. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-99/

Hi Hurtworldians, In todays bugfix patch we're fixing up some critical issues with the 0.4.5.0 patch such as missing loot crates and problems with the Antor's hive spawning correctly along with some other fixes.

Change Log Experimental 0.4.5.1

• Changed the way the bandage item works, now you click primary fire to start using the item, any movement will cancel the item being used (previously using the item would block any movement input)
• Fixed a bug causing loot cache spawns to instantly despawn
• Fixed a bug causing loot caches to spawn outside their explicit spawn locations
• Changed vehicle and Antor node spawning mechanics, these spawns have been massively sped up on low population servers
• Antor nodes no longer have a despawn timer and remain until mined by a player or server shutdown
• Fixed plants not serializing their planted time properly (fixes owrongs appearing unresponsive after server restart)
• Increased precision of input sensitivity option
• Fixed a validation check for a roof corner construction piece being ran on the wrong layer
• Fire pits can now be removed with the construction hammer
• Fixed a series of issues where build limit costs and attachment point previews would persist after a constructable item had been unequipped
• Fixed a bug where the creature navigation mesh was not being properly created in some areas
• Fixed incorrect label on ignite button for several machines
• Fixed an error in the way clients were being registered with EasyAntiCheat

Hi Hurtworldians! In this weeks dev blog we check out new megarocks and procedural rock workflow, iteration on the build biome and plans for the red desert rolling into mangatang next week. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-98/

In today's experimental patch we have 2 new creatures rolling out into mangatang, the Dart Bug and the Antor. These guys are still in pretty early stages of balance and development, we will be iterating on them over the next few releases. Unlike most creatures the Antors (flying insects) spawn around hives that will appear randomly throughout the map. Antors will protect their nest in large swarms, and quickly respawn once killed. Taking these out should be fairly tricky and will require a bit of planning. The rewards for successfully harvesting them are pretty epic to say the least. Probably needs a nerf, but should make for some interesting chaos for this patch. Master Patch We also have a small bugfix patch rolling out to the master branch to fix a few exploits that have come up over the last week. These fixes are also in ItemV2. #hopbunnysomethingsomething Taking away bunny hopping was intended to open up more interesting PVP strategies and gunplay. We haven't really had time to iterate on gunplay yet to gain said benefit, and support for bringing it back has been fairly one sided. So for at least a couple more patches, I've re-enabled bunnyhopping. Jump height is slightly less than it used to be, so it won't be as easy but should put a higher skill ceiling back into early PVP. I will look at how it fits into the game in a few weeks when I iterate over the whole of PVP again. Known Issues FPS isn't great in the current build for me at least, its on our radar and we will be getting back to our target perf soon. In the meantime, potato mode should still give plenty of FPS if you are having trouble.

Hi Hurtworldians, This patch focuses on refining the balance of last weeks release, works on making the new map easier to navigate and aims to resolve most of the remaining major bugs. This patch will include a wipe on official experimental servers to clear out any remaining items that should not exist as a result of the bugs earlier this week. We are confident this wipe will last the full 2 week cycle and is starting to get to a point of decent balance and stability to sink some time into. Enjoy!

Hi Hurtworldians, Hotfix 0.4.3.1 is now live on the experimental branch. This update includes a bunch of balance and bug fixes that should make the entire progression playable again. We are aware that there will be bogus items in circulation due to the workbench refund issue. We have decided not to wipe the servers today and instead leave the savegames intact for a couple more days of chaos and wipe on Friday with some additional enhancements. This will push out our next wipe cycle by one week, making the next wipe / patch for experimental after this Friday on the 25th of August.

Hi Hurtworldians, In this weeks dev update, we check out the finished scope, the new coming biome art tests, and talk about the upcoming experimental content design changes. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-92/

Hi Guys, Our ambitious plans with this weeks experimental patch have proven too much for our untested map creation framework. We need a few more days to iron out the performance kinks in the map tools and will have a kickass experimental patch ready for next Friday with an entirely new map + progression and new sniper rifle. Stay tuned.

Hi Hurtworldians! In this weeks dev update, we check out the badass AWM sniper rifle, new character creation screen, brand new map tools soon to be released and the specs for the new map and progression going into this Friday's experimental build. Check out the update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-91/

Hi Hurtworldians, In this weeks dev update, we go into detail about the upcoming experimental wipe #6 plans, check out the new terrain tools, procedural rare spawns on all creatures, AWM progress and Biome experiments. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-90/

Hi Hurtworldians, For our 5th ItemV2 experimental wipe cycle we have introduced powerful PVP armor that takes massive durability loss when mitigating damage. In other words it will save your life, but only a couple of times before being decimated. The values are a bit OP right now, we will refine them over the coming weeks. Another major rollout this week is creature rarity across all biomes and creature types. Look out for uncommon, rare and legendary spawns of each creature typ as well as biome specific variants with custom attacks. You will also find much richer loot from the rare variants. We also introduced a new impact framework that should make whats going on a lot clearer in combat along with fixing broken combat animations and equip messages. Enjoy!

Change Log:

• Added ability to craft entry level bow, cold protection, pick and backpack to the workbench in fabricator form. This allows you to progress if you can't find a blueprint early on that you need. Recipies are more expensive than researched blueprints.
• New impact framework fleshed out with a ton new impact sounds for different scenarios
• Added bullet and arrow whizby effects
• Buffed PVE damage on wood bow
• Fixed bug in equipment where proxy players wouldn't show their correct animation state when loading in
• Fixed bug where Items that didn't load fast enough wouldn't be equipped on proxy players, making them look like they were unarmed
• Fixed AI navmesh in new diemensland towns
• Hitbox specific armor stats have been added, when items with these stats reduce damage the matching item will lose durability
• All creatures can now spawn at different rarities which creates changes to their appearance, behaviour and loot
• The log resource node model has been updated and now has some biome specific variants
• Fixed a bug where ragdolls could appear as the wrong color and randomly change colors
• Fixed a bug where pickaxes could recolor your hat
• High tier pickaxes will no longer generate with huge mining power values

Hi Hurtworldians, In this weeks dev blog, we start updating our environment art, check out consumable PVP armor, AWM progress and rare encounter explosive fire spitting Tokars Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-89/

Hi Hurtworldians! In this weeks dev update, we check out work from the current experimental build, and talk about whats coming over the next few weeks. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-86/

Hi Guys, A new patch is now live for both the master branch and experimental branch. Tom continues his efforts to lock down collider exploits and keep your bases secure in master. On the ItemV2 Experimental side Cow_Trix has fixed up support for OpenGL Core which is used by OSX and Linux builds. We also have some balance changes, and exploit fixes. See the changelogs below.

Master Branch 0.3.8.6

• Crash get up check now checks for machines as well
• Added checks against players and machines for pillbox construction
• Changed the is player inside rock check to run much more frequently
• Fixed a bug in the configuration of the is door blocked check for the trap door hatch
• Fixed a bug where construction items could be validated at one rotation but placed at another rotation
• Updated StructureAttachmentDependency to check for dependent attachment points even in owned cells (You now need to keep the door frame for doors, keep the window hole wall to have a window etc.)
• Added protections in console to prevent clients trying to host games

Experimental Branch 0.4.1.1

• Fixed OpenGL shader support and added experimental Vulcan fallback support.
• Melee cast raycasts now always use the first person cam position, this will stop being able to "Axe" you questions through walls.
• Increased backpack storage amounts and reduced the spread of the random rolls.
• Fixed spear not showing durability loss from throws
• Fixed some naked ragdoll issues

Hi Hurtworldians, For week 3 of our experimental builds series we are focusing on integrating phase one of the new blueprint / research / fabrication system into the survival progression. We're really excited to start rolling out these changes, as this is really the meat and potatoes of what we've been working on over the last few months. Content is still very rough around the edges, but its definitely starting to take shape. These systems fundamentally change the way you gain loot. Removing most of the monolythic list of gear and equipment recipes from the workbench, instead giving you constant randomly rolled loot drops from things in the world. Instead of spending all you have on a single item that can be lost in an instant, we shift some of that value to machines inside your base. Most of the cost of an item is consumed when "Researching" a blueprint you've found, which then gives you the ability to product multiple copies of the researched item for a low cost.

The Loot Hunt

Better Balanced Full Loot

Research Raiding

Diemensland V2

Other Experiments

Hi Guys, We've been pushing really hard to get this experimental patch out today. Most of the team have barely slept and unfortunately there are just a few too many things we still need to do to ensure a stable enough build without wipes during the week. We've got some really cool stuff cookin with blueprints, research bench and fabricator machines which are really going to change up survival. Along with an expanded Diemensland brought into ItemV2 world. We'll be working over the weekend to put the finishing touches on it and push it out on Monday. This weeks city build will remain on the experimental servers until then. Stay tuned.

Hi Everyone, Patch 0.4.0.8 for the experimental build is now live. Changelog:

• Fixed bugs in compass so it shows nearby machines
• Added health pack consumable
• Tweaked loot tables
• Added ammo to gun machines
• Made more items scrappable and tweaked scrash return values
• Fixed a bug where machines weren't syncing properly
• Fixed a bug allowing extra items to be addded to the FR18 receiver
• Rebalanced damage values on most weapons
• Fixed a bug that was causing the player to take PVE damage from weapons
• Added recurve bow as a possible drop from weapon machine crates

Hi Guys, In this weeks Dev Update, we talk about our plans for experimental week 3 coming this Friday, upcoming updates to this weeks experimental City game mode, check out the new sniper rifle, and progress on our map generation tools. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-85/

Hi Guys, This weeks experimental build is now live. In this weeks experiment, we have thrown 3 cities into an enormous map with mostly wasteland. You can't build, you can't craft, all items can be obtained from cities.
We had fairly ambitious plans for this build, but due to time spent fixing critical engine bugs over the last week, we had less than 2 days to work on it. Either way setting ourselves tight deadlines is good for progress. Many of the features that we planned to make this a fun game mode aren't live yet. We will be rolling them out over the week as we complete them. For now I have buffed the loot cache spawns in the city so getting a gun should be fairly easy. This should give you a chance to get in some gunfights with the new weapons and explore the city.
I have a feeling performance of the city is going to be less than optimal for our players on lower end machines. Please let us know how it performs on your machine.

Yo Fam! Another quick one for you, vehicles were really broken. If you got in and out of a vehicle 5 times you would collapse into the netherworld. This should be fixed now, along with some other improvements. Keep the reports coming! Change Log:

• Fixed vehicles getting negative weight
• Fixed spearing Goat and Kanga
• Fixed C4 doing nothing if a window was near by
• Inventories repair reference dupes items instead of just complaining about them
• Fixed FPS cap
• Possible fix for massive physics spike on the server
• Fixed crash caused by bake thread around massive bases
• Rewrote item dirty tracking to use a fraction of the memory, should scale to infinite items now. Should solve some of the memory leaks on the servers.

You guys know the drill. We will keep the patches rolling as we work through the remaining issues. Changelog: Fixed non spatial item slots overwriting when swapped Fixed naked ragdoll (from sleepers) throwing exceptions Removed Tenkoku sky from the project Added destruction of visual assets on the server to free up ram

Hi Guys, Another quick patch for ItemV2 Experimental as we work through the remaining issues. You may have noticed a lot of the 4.0.2 fixes weren't live over the last day. There was a problem with our new build process that didn't update a bunch of our files. These fixes will be in this build. Onward! Changes from this patch:

• Changed default level to nulliustest (host.bat in server files will work again out of the box)
• Fixed a sync issue with item level and spawn position causing inventory screwups
• Suppressed send buffer full notifications
• Fixed inventory items not being written properly when moved around in the same container
• Fixed memory leak in animal pathing
• Fixed issue with cancelling item icon renders on disconnect
• Fixed construction prefabs placing on non-terrain surfaces
• Added Shack to handcrafteable recipes

• Display index picker has been reenabled in options menu (doesn't work using exclusive fullscreen)
• Resolution options should now display and set resolution correctly
• Mouldy Owrongs are now stackable to 255

Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-84/

Hi Guys, We just pushed out a quick patch to address a lot of the critical issues in the ItemV2 Experimental branch. This patch shouldn't cause a wipe, the next wipe is still scheduled for this Friday. As we were flat out with this patch, we will post the dev blog tomorrow.

Change Log:

• Fixed sleeper creation happening before player destroy
• Fixed Bow Sounds

Hi Hurtworldians, This week has been all about getting our procedural creature and loot RPG progression systems ready for content prototyping. Everyone's efforts have been finally coming together, from the difficulty painted into the map, to the random boosted attack speed on the pickaxe that dropped from a rare spawn of a creature. The pipeline is finally connected end to end! On the Art side, the AR15 is looking dam fine, and we our first creature paint masks removing the need to explicit textures for varying animals throughout difficulty levels. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-68/

Hey Guys, Hotfix 0.3.8.2 is now live. It addresses some exploits that have come up over the last week.

Hotfix 0.3.8.2

• Inside rock check has been made more robust and can deal properly with overlapping colliders
• Added defensive checks for corrupted data during level loading, corrupted objects will be skipped over
• Removed door overlap check on close from client. This prevents the client getting desyncronised from server
• Improved construction validation checks on trapdoors and shacks
• Fixed a bug with player colliders that could cause desyncs during player to player collisions
• SimpleVehicleWindow.WindowName can now be overridden with
• SimpleVehicleWindow.ExplicitWindowName (SDK change)

Hi Hurtworldians, In this weeks Dev Update, we check out the new durability system, procedural creature spawning system, and more art content. Tom has also been hunting down bugs on out master branch and will be putting out a small bug fix patch later this week. In addition we will be wiping the Official Infini wipe servers on the 17th of Feb. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-67/

Hi Hurtworldians, In this weeks update we check out building a gun from components with the new attachment system, colorable player gear is in, check our first full quality PBR ironsight test and make it so modders can attach new panels to our existing vehicles. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-66/ Also want to give a shout out to our mod community for some awesome stuff I've seen lately. This one in particular is pretty impressive: Soul Stakes

Hi Hurtworldians, Fair bit of groundwork this week, we revamp our spawning system to make way for epic ItemV2 loots, check our the Mac-10 and M9 attachments, upgrade our mesh painting tech to allow for individual item and weapon attachment painting, and reveal in a bit more depth how loot and progression will work in ItemV2. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-65/

Hi Hurtworldians, In this weeks devblog, the first build of ingame character customization, we push towards getting survival basics back online in ItemV2, make loot tables moddable via the SDK, some bigger jeans and some dam fine AR modifications. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-64/

Hi Hurtworldians, After a relaxing end of year break, we are back into the action with a change in direction with the guns to be more realistic, a new mac10, an awesome new hoodie, context menus on items and sharing items in chat. You can also now run the latest ItemV2 build without switching branches by selecting the "Launch ItemV2 Experimental". OSX and Linux had some path issues earlier today which should be resolved now. You can check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-63/

Hey folks, As we bring in the New Year we just wanted to say thanks to you, the community, and wish you a great 2017. We're excited for what's to come. We all took a few days off between Christmas and New Years, we all relaxed in preparation for the onslaught of work coming to get the ItemV2 Update finished. We also released the first version of the Deathmatch Mode for your testing pleasure. We had a little Christmas party and in the spirit of the new gun systems that are being built we went and shot Clay Targets. It was a lot of damn fun and Tom (that lucky bastard) won the competition at the end of the session. We’ll be back to regular Devblog updates early next week and hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year!

Hey Guys, A late Christmas pressie for you all, the deathmatch preview of our ItemV2 development branch is now public on steam. You can grab it by opening up your Hurtworld steam properties, then the Betas tab and switch to the ItemV2 branch. Also be sure to check out the new Skybox by switching to Tenkoku in settings (will currently cost you some FPS, we will work on getting it back to baseline performance soon) This will download an entirely new version of Hurtworld that won't be compatible with current survival servers. However you can switch back to the default branch at any time. The build contains some small deathmatch gamemode maps to preview some of the new WIP equipment code and weapons. I have also spun up servers in all regions running our new cityaim practice map. I will work on a combined build soon so you can checkout our latest progress without having to hop branches constantly, but for now you will need to switch builds. For those that didn't see it, we posted Dev Blog #61 while steam was down so couldn't make a news post about it. There is a bit more details on the Dethmatch preview, female hair sculpts, work on new melee combo + charge attacks, and some more weapon prototypes. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-61/

Hi Hurtworldians, In this weeks dev blog we fix up lighting in ItemV2 along with some nice graphics enhancements, the first look at the female character head, 10 mins test footage from the upcoming ItemV2 dm build including a brand new city dm map and more gun prototyping. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-60/

Hey Hurtworldians! In this weeks episode of the Hurtworld Dev Blog we talk about scheduling of upcoming updates, then check out damage feedback upgrades, the bolt action rebuild, see multiple new gun prototypes in action, procedural map construction under the hood, character customization, heaps of new tool concepts, and rebuilding all the broken engine systems in ItemV2 so we can actually release this thing! http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-59/

Hi Hurtworldians, In this weeks update we check out new boots, beginning work on character customization, weapon sights, and a heap of bug fixes. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-58/

• Fix for spawning after having your sleeper killed. Will now correctly respawn you inside your shack or at your stake if possible
• Patched up a small hole in the corner of the shack collider that people could use to access chests inside in certain setups
• Fix for TimedEffectZones not working properly, should make Medusa Vine behaviour more consistent
• Spear right click has been tweaked to make it a bit easier to flip over Goats
• Fix for the camera clipping through walls at some angles
• EffectManagerServer.PlaySoundFromGroup() added for oxide mods
• EffectManagerServer.DestructionServer() made public for oxide mods

This patch includes a full wipe on official servers. Community servers have the option not to wipe, however sleepers will be retroactively created on startup making players logged out in the open vulnerable. Official servers should be updated in the next 15 mins.

Changelog:

• Sleeper objects have been added to the game. After disconnecting a fesh cube will be spawned into the world to represent your sleeping player. These cubes can be shot, hit, exploded and ran over like a regular player. When they die they will drop the same loot as the player would have if they were killed. Killing a sleeper will apply infamy to you as if you had killed a player
• If your sleeper is killed you will be treated as dead when you next login, which will spawn you at either the beach or your selected spawn point if you have one
• Due to sleepers holding your items while you're offline they will continue to simulate (meaning food will go mouldy)
• Sleepers will block construction where they are placed to prevent people glitching through walls
• Sleepers can be enabled and disabled with the server command, 'enablesleepers <1/0>'
• Sleeper names can be shown on sleepers using sleepernames <0/1>, this is disabled by default due to old saves with thousands of sleepers on the beach causing perf issues. Fresh wipes should have no issues with this enabled as the public sleeper population should cull itself.
• Sleepers are enabled on all official servers by default
• CombatLogTimeout has been reduced to 5 seconds by default
• GiveItemTrigger has been fixed, deathmatch servers should hand out guns again
• Shacks can no longer be constructed partially inside of rocks and other terrain
• Fixed bug in how rigidbodies sleep, spear items should affect vehicles more consistently now
• Extra validation added to all construction items to check against players more consistently
• Constructions dependent on attachment points will now decay if no attachment points are found (ie. doors). Constructions destroyed in this way will drop their refund amount as loot
• Fixes to mitigate physics drift over long periods of time, this should reduce vehicles tendency to move on their own when parked

Hi Hurtworldians,

Official Server Wipe and Patch This Friday

Hi Guys, Tonight we have another hotfix patch to stomp out some exploits that have come up recently around vehicles, and getting through walls / rocks. The update is compulsory for all servers. As usual, if you wish to play on a server that has not yet updated, you can downgrade your client to the previous version using the "oldversion" branch.

To switch branches:

• Ensure Hurtworld isn't running
• Right click on Hurtworld in Steam
• Click properties
• Open the Betas tab
• In the dropdown select "oldversion"

Full Changelog:

• Vehicle depenetration force has been increased
• Door closing logic has been changed so collider only turns on clientside at the end of the close method after passing an overlap check
• Door prefabs have been resized to remove game object scaling and also slightly increase collider size
• Crafting categories scroll menu now correctly resets on opening the crafting window
• Increased size of radiation zones in the salt flats of Diemensland so the corners are no longer safe
• Reduced interaction trigger size for Kangas and Goats
• The get up method of the crash vehicle has been made more robust, the size of the capsule check has been increased to full character height and an additional inside geometry check has been added
• When vehicles are disassembled passengers now correctly check for legal vehicle exits rather than exiting at the vehicle root, if no legal exits found (ie. they are all blocked) the passengers are killed
• Vehicle drivers now correctly receive infamy when running over players
• Fixed bug that was causing community servers to be sorted incorrectly when sorting by descending player count in the server browser
• CharacterControllers now check against large unexpected changes in position and rewind when needed
• CharacterController position corrections from the server now occur over a larger time frame
• Wheel sleep colliders have had their bounciness removed
• The right click push on spear items has been reduced in power and is now affected by the weight of the pushed object
• An option to change the display has been added to the options menu under Options > Graphics > Resolution > Display Number

Hi Hurtworldians, In this weeks update we check out porting the vehicle painting system over the player gear, adding foliage to the city and structures, procedural variable fire rate weapons in game without tick rate aliasing, upgrading the sound system, a new metal material workflow for weapons, a ton of bug fixes. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-56/

Hi Hurtworldians, In this weeks dev blog, we check out work on automatic gun sounds, more weapon silhouette concepts, progress on water and the map. We preview the import process for completely custom player gear which will soon be in the SDK, and the state of bug smashing. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-55/

Hi Hurtworldians, In this weeks Dev Blog, we check out a concepts for a bunch of different guns, 2 new completed backpacks, where we are at with the new 'Nullius' map (Including water!), progress towards the public test of ItemV2 experimental builds, and bug squashing the last of the exploits. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-54/

CHANGE LOG

• Vehicle reverse behaviour changed, much more force is applied at low speed but this quickly falls off as speed increases. Can hillclimb in reverse again while speed is still capped
• Ownership stake validation has been improved again, it should be even harder to place stakes inside rocks
• Ownership stakes now check if they are inside a rock on server startup and destroy themselves if so
• The door obstructed check has been improved making it harder to close doors on players to push them in unintended ways
• Bugfix for VehiclePassengerUnsafeEntry, Goat and Kanga entries are now correctly blocked by doors
• Crash vehicle spawning has been made more robust. An additional raycast check has been added to check the crash vehicle spawn location, if it fails the crash will be cancelled
• Entering a vehicle in first person with a bow equipped will no longer leave the players hands in the bow pose
• Window removal marker is no longer offset from window
• Removed unused fire prefab from SDK and vehicle default pack

Hi Hurtworldians, In this weeks update, we check out concepts for 3 new advanced tech weapon types, new shorts, backpacks, gunplay updates, and plans for a deathmatch only ItemV2 preview coming soon. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-53/

Hi Hurtworldians, This week most of the crew are in Seattle for the Steam Dev Days Conference so not a big update. Gav is holding down the fort and shows off the new combat jacket. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-52/

Hi Guys, Minor hotfix patch cleaning up the remaining issues that have come up from the update. As always, if you find any issues please let us know in the bug reports forum. Changelog:

• Bug fix for Roach wheel radius being incorrectly set to wrong wheel
• Bug fix for vehicle passenger explosions, can no longer explode passengers at their original entry position
• Should now be able to consistently kill vehicle passengers with explosions
• Client now correctly shuts down when failing to load a default mod pack (ie. constructions and vehicles)
• Bug fix for footsteps being played when entering vehicles sprinting in third person
• Roach and goat vehicle exits reverted to prepatch settings
• Made vehicle sleep behaviour more consistent, wheels sleep instantly on driver exit and wheels can now set themselves up for sleep when not grounded

Hi All, There was an issue with the last Hotfix that caused some windows servers to get caught in an update loop. This is now resolved. If you were having issues, please update to the latest version, otherwise no action is required.

Hi Guys, Patch 0.3.7.1 is now live, this patch should resolve some small issues around raid drills from last nights patch. Changelog: - Drill bug fixed, drills now consistently give resources and return a positive time to next resource - Message added above itembar when entering crawl mode during crash - Some debug messages removed

All official servers have been wiped and updated. A wipe is not compulsory but is recommended. Community servers will need to be updated by their owners, and any Oxide mods will need to wait for the pending Oxide update (wulf is on it now) The main focus of this patch is the new "Kanga" dirtbike, along with some big bug fixes and performance improvements. The new vehicle lod system should stop vehicle horder bases destroying client performance and is the first step towards uncapping vehicle spawn numbers. Workshop Vehicle mods will break with this update, we recommend removing any vehicle mods from your server after the patch to prevent issues. Tom will post a guide on upgrading vehicles to support the new features in the next day or so.

VERSION 0.3.7.0 (3-OCT-2016)

• New Dirtbike AKA "Kanga" Added
• Crash system added, when crashing the player enters an uncontrollable physics capsule and tumbles around until they come to a stop
• Damage and broken legs occur when changing velocity too fast (ie. being stopped by hitting stuff)
• After coming to a stop the player will get up if safe and if not will be able to crawl around into a safe location using movement keys
• Bail crashes (crashing from exiting a high speed vehicle) added to all vehicles
• Goat has had orientation crashes and rider capsule crashes and velocity delta crashes added.
• Goat cannot be entered unless room for the rider is clear
• Player weight is now added to vehicles on entry and more vehicle handling attributes are affected by weight.
• Camera fixed so orientation is maintained on vehicle enter and exit and while switching perspectives inside a vheicle
• Ownership stakes can no longer be placed inside of rocks or other geometry.
• Vehicle brake lights now brighten when braking
• DynamicLOD system added for vehicles, LOD budget (currently marked as vehicle renderer budget) and High/Low bias can be set in the graphics options menu. This will give massive performance gains around stockpiled vehicles. Lower budget is recommeded for older machines.
• New low level of detail models added for vehicles that work with the vehicle paint system
• Vehicle scales fixed, removes physics rebaking step on spawn which helps considerably when loading many vehicles at once
• Goat texture resolution increased to match Roach
• The small 2m square foundation construction piece has had its volume scale corrected, making it take the correct amount of damage (was previously taking too much damage because volume scale was too small)
• vFixed bug where the player’s position in the physics system was not being updated whilst in a vehicle
• Vehicle wheels now spin correctly in the air maintaining take-off RPM
• Vehicle reversing is now much slower than accelerating forward
• Vehicle steering assist is now a twisting force rather than a pushing force
• Using the reverse key to slow a vehicle down will no longer reverse its steering direction
• Projectiles no longer penetrate and hit claiming should be more consistent
• Storage capacity tooltip no longer displays as storage capacity per second
• Vehicles now pass explosion damage onto their passengers
• Explosions now apply heat to players in range (can ignite players if close enough)
• Vehicles will again respect volume settings
• Vehicles can now have animated suspension and steering armatures
• SDK update with all kanga and crash components added
• Items from the raid drill update have been added to the SDK
• BanManager AddBan() and RemoveBan() have been made public so they can be used by Oxide mods
• Fix to SDK build paths for OSX systems

Hey folks, this is a very minor patch to address an issue we found in vehicle spawning behavior that meant vehicles could spawn forever, eventually crashing the server. It also contains a fix for the explodable rock loot configuration, to fix an unintended decrease in drops. Included is also a substantial update to Russian localization, thanks to q1LLa and his friends at HurtworldPro for that. VERSION 0.3.6.6 (4-AUG-2016) [HOTFIX] Fixed vehicles spawning allowing limitless vehicles to spawn across server restarts Tweaked explodable rock to increase drop rates Update Russian Localisation

Hey folks! This patch introduces the Raid Drill, the first significant change to raiding in a while. This provides an entirely new method for raiding bases, where the drill can attach to a structure and slowly destroy the piece it is attached to. The Raid Drill is made through a new resource-tech tree. Rough Diamonds are a new rare drop from resource nodes that will be needed to craft the Raid Drillbit. This patch also introduces experimental structure decay. This means that a structure in unclaimed territory will begin to take damage if it is left alone (that is, no one is building or removing in that territory). This decay is entirely configurable and we'll be looking for your feedback on if it's not aggressive enough, or is too aggressive. This should mean that old, abandoned bases will eventually disappear from the server, freeing up space and server resources. VERSION 0.3.6.4 (21-JUL-2016)

• Added Raid Drill, a new raiding tool craftable in the workbench. Attach this to structures, and insert gasoline and coolant, to slowly drill through the wall. Will sometimes jam, which will cause it to quickly heat up and require unjamming. Don't let the temperature get too high or the machine will explode!
• Added structural decay - structures in unclaimed territory will slowly decay over time if they have not been modified for a given amount of time. Under the hood, a structure will select a random attachment every `structuredecayfrequency` seconds, and do `structuredecaydamage` damage to it.
• Added console command `structuredecayenabled ` - enable or disable structural decay. Default is enabled (1).
• Added console command `structuredecayfrequency ` - the amount of time between decay damage. Default is 5 minutes (600).
• Added console command `structuredecaydamage ` - the range of damage done when decaying a structure. Default is 5-10.
• Added console command `structuredecaymodifytime ` - the amount of time a structure must be unmodified before it begins to decay. Default is 24 hours (86400).
• Added console command `structureframepacketlimit` - this will throttle the speed at which your server will send structures to connecting clients. Default is 200.
• Improved removal point visualisation to show a ghost of the object you are removing
• Fixed incorrect timeout issue when downloading structure data
• Adjusted loadbalancer costs - if you have low server FPS after this patch and have increased your loadbalancerframebudget, consider lowering it again.
• Added 5 new music tracks
• Added new workbench category - "Raiding" - which contains all items relating to raiding. C4 has been moved to this category.
• Added new items - Rough Diamond, Diamond Dust, Diamond Saw, Cut Diamond, Tokar Acid, Raid Drillbit, Raid Drill Motor, Raid Drill Base, Raid Drill
• Fixed pillbox being immune to C4 due to it being on the wrong physics layer

• Fixed Raid Drill being disassembleable on the other side of walls
• Fixed Raid Drill not being disassembleable if not authorised on a territory
• Fixed problem where Raid Drills would detach on loading a savegame
• Fixed Raid Drills being damaged on the other side of walls by dynamite

Hi Hurtworldians, In the 40th weekly Hurtworld Dev Update we check out the concepts for the new dirtbike (Kanga) body kits, some new WIP jumpers,the finalized raid drill and work on fixing third person aiming. The raid drill will go live in a small patch this Thursday and will NOT require a wipe. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-40/

This is a minor patch to improve join times when connecting to servers, and fix some bugs in mods. For server owners: this patch attempts to give you options when you load a broken mod into your server, or a mod becomes broken through an update. Please remember, when adding mods to busy servers, that you cannot reliably remove that mod from the savegame. This is why we prevent you from loading a savegame that depends on mods that aren't loaded. However, should the worst happen and some mod breaks, and no fix is in sight, and you are not prepared to wipe, there is now a solution. Before doing this, BACK UP YOUR SAVE. You can use the new `forceload` command to force the savegame to load despite any errors thrown. However, we cannot guarantee that your save will load entirely or correctly. Items from mods that are missing will disappear from the world and there could be unforeseen consequences. Think of doing this as 'voiding your warranty' on that save - we will make no guarantees. VERSION 0.3.6.3 (14-JULY-2016)

• Improved load message feedback when joining a server
• Improved structure load times when joining a server
• Improved disconnect times
• Fixed autowipe receiving an incorrect path
• Mods that fail to load will no longer be listed as a dependency in the savegame
• You can now force a savegame to load when there are missing mod dependencies. USE WITH CAUTION AS THIS MAY BREAK SAVEGAMES. Use the `forceload` command in your autoexec.

Hey Folks, In this weeks update, we show off the running Raid Drill along with some of the mechanics we are working on for it. We start work on the Dirt Bike model, introduce damage and explosions to vehicles, and give sprint some upgrades. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-39/

Hi Hurtworldians, In this weeks update, we have the first results of the physically simulated modelling looking pretty awesome, falling off motorbikes, and vehicle mods are now live! Warning: Things in the Devblog may be further off than they appear. However they are coming. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-38/

This patch includes a number of bugfixes, as well as support for custom vehicle mods. VERSION 0.3.6.2 (4-JUL-2016)

• Fixed missing bottom on 2m concrete foundation
• Teleport command can now take Steam IDs as parameters
• Enforced protocol versions more - you will no longer be able to connect to older/newer servers through the console
• Fixed structures sometimes failing to load in busy servers, due to BitStreams not being pooled correctly
• Itemslots will now show if they are locked or one-way
• Fixed error message for failing to load mods
• Added support for custom 4-wheeled vehicles from the modding SDK (see https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=714026119)
• Fixed structure damage cracks not displaying when a structure is damaged

Hi Hurtworldians, Big shoutout to all our Summer Sale and Humble Monthly Bundle fam joining us this week. May the detcaps be plentiful and the bugs be passable as intended features! In this weeks episode, Gav becomes a fashion designer, Mils fleshes out the city outskirts, Tom makes sure the city detail won't blow up your PC, Sean starts finally implementing that old thing we call the Raid Drill, and I reveal the new Item Creator. Check out the full update here: http://hurtworld.com/hurtworld-update-37/

VERSION 0.3.6.0 (24-JUN-2016) [BREAKING UPDATE]

• Construction Attachment Points will now show possible rotations
• Changelog was overhauled to format better and alert when new updates have been created
• Added support for custom mods, including Construction Packs. Mod makers will now be able to create new sets of attachments. Servers can opt in to a Construction Pack, and clients will automatically download it upon joining. See http://hurtworld.gamepedia.com/Installing_a_Construction_Pack for information for server owners on installing Construction Packs.
• Fixed issue where zero-health attachments could be invincible
• Fixed issue where explosions could send unnecessary updates to clients
• Fixed issue where construction rotations were mangled and unmangled in savegames
• Fixed issue where attachment points would sometimes show up when they didn't have sufficient weight, due to rotations not stacking correctly
• Possible fix for "Structures taking too long to load" kick issue, where shared timing objects could have been causing erratic behaviour
• Changes to doors to allow for slightly more convenient Oxide modding
• Fixed issue with the spears vehicle flipping ability (right click). Hit detection now directly lines up with crosshair.
• Fixed issue with how explosions apply forces. Explosive force will now effect each physics object only once.
• Fixed issue with Vehicle depenetration force limit being overwritten (no more vehicle launching from resource nodes and other objects).
• Fixed issue with Vehicles ignoring the depenetration limit when overlapping with players (no more launching vehicles by ducking under them)
• Added 'savepath ' command. You can now specify the path where your server will load and save savegames
• Added 'loadmod ( ...)' command. Use this command to add a mod(s) to the server. This command can only be run before hosting a game.
• Put in guard against unicode names that are not displayable

Hey folks, just a quick announcement that the 0.3.6.0 patch will go out on Friday the 24th of June, at 5 AM UTC.

If you aren't, we have many different projectile and melee weapons to do away with your opponent. Careful though, murdering your peers may increase your own penalty for death.
  
• Farmable Plants - Find wild seeds and get a crop going back home.
  
• Hunting Neutral and Hostile Animals - Environment is filled with animals, they may be your lunch, you may be theirs.
  
• Town Ruins and Relics with Random Loot - Tightly contested, if the radiation and mutated creatures don't kill you, another player will. You might just find those engine parts you've been looking for here.
  
• Dynamic Day/Night + Weather - Pick the right time of day to attempt crossing sand dunes, but watch out for sandstorms.
  
• Stat Simulation - More than just a hunger bar, everything in the world is affected by time of day, current biome, localized effects like radiation, dynamic weather, heat given off by machines etc. Items can have different behaviors based on current stats too. That steak in your backpack might just freeze in the snow, at least it will take longer to go rotten. Put that storage chest too close to your fire you may come home to a pile of Ash.
  
• Drastically Different Biomes - Explore the harsh world. From the snow forests of the North to the colorful parrot Tokars of the red desert, gear that lets you survive in one biome may kill you in another. Players with a home base advantage will likely be better equipped to handle their surroundings than invaders.

PVP & Gunplay

Infamy System

• Most people will actually use their best gear all the time
  
• New spawns being harassed at spawn that can’t fight back won’t lose much
  
• Players harassing fresh spawns are putting a target on their own head, as some of their gear is now up for grabs to anyone who kills them, creating interesting skirmishes.
  
• Farming yield of a player will be dependant on the territory they can control. If a player tries to mine the limited resources around your base, you can kill them to claim the resources back without completely ruining their day.
  
• We can make tiers of gear much more expensive to create without crossing the too valuable to lose bracket

Modding

FAQ

• Will you add procedural maps?
  Currently we are focusing on hand crafted maps. We are a good way through developing an SDK for Unity we call "Shigi Tools" designed to allow the community to create their own maps in-engine. It's not out of the realm of possibility that a server will have its own unique map designed by its admins that is downloaded on connection. This combined with server side mods should open up the gameplay possibilities a lot. We don't have an ETA on this yet, we are using it to build internal maps but it will require some new engine systems to handle runtime loading that we will prioritize amongst other things.
  
  
• Can I host a server?
  Yes! We have a Windows and Linux headless server build that can be downloaded through the tools section of Steam or via SteamCMD, check out the Hurtworld Wiki for guides.
  
  
• How many players per server?
  We are optimizing for 50. We run all our physics on the server with low jitter and a high tickrate. This means we won't reach the 200+ mmo class of servers, however we think the tradeoff is worth it for a more responsive experience and a game more resistant to cheats. It also means we can do more interesting things with AI that feel more like Left for Dead and less like World of Warcraft.
