Blitzkrieg 3 news & patch notes

Officers! IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! Blitzkrieg 3 is going offline! We present you the new offline Blitzkrieg 3 build, which will let you enjoy tactical battles of this WWII strategy without having to be connected to the internet. The offline version has all the features, content, and your saved progress from the online version – except, of course, the PvP online mode. However, should you choose to compete, Boris will still be happy to assist you in a friendly duel, opposing his AI skills against yours. After you download the latest update, you will have two options at the start of the game – to play the original Blitzkrieg 3 or to play the offline version. Please be aware, that in order to transfer your current progress to the offline version, you have to upload the patch and to run this mode, while the online Blitzkrieg 3 is still available. The servers for Blitzkrieg 3 are planned to be shut down in the recent future, so please don’t put it off. The exact date of shutting the online Blitzkrieg 3 will be announced additionally. We hope that you enjoy playing Blitzkrieg 3 offline and wish you splendid victories!

What's new:

1) Brazilian Portuguese and Serbian languages added! As some of you may know, we've launched Translate Blitzkrieg 3 Project on Crowdin in May 2017. With great help of our community base, we are now able to expand the list of languages supported. We would like to express our gratitude to: - Andrei Soares Portes Machado for translating more than 50% of the text to Brazilian Portuguese. - Goran Bošnjak, Dule Dudule, Goran Milinkov and Nikoladiv for contributing in Serbian translation! Thank you so much for making these translations come true. We hope that we will be able to bring Blitzkrieg 3 to even more languages. If you are interested in helping us and receiving some nice prizes for your contributions, please feel free to visit our Crowdin page: https://crowdin.com/project/blitzkrieg-3

Changes:

1) Fight with Boris (as a separate game mode) is no longer available in Demo. Please remember that in the previous update we've introduced rating Boris in Multiplayer (Skirmish 1х1). These fights against him remain available and also provide you rating points and units for victories. 2) Reworked tutorial Now it consists of one campaign mission, one side-mission and one tutorial Skirmish battle. Now you will be able to get to Multiplayer and other content of the game faster than before, learning about all the mechanics of the game in only 3 fights. Tutorial side-missions had been reworked to provide more information on how to play for the beginners.

Fixed issues:

1) Graphics optimization improved. 2) Several graphics issues solved.

What's new:

- Boris in PvP Skirmish! Now, if the search for an opponent in Skirmish 1x1 is taking more than 2 minutes, you will be matched with Boris. But not a usual one. Winning over this Boris will provide you same rating points and rewards as if you were playing against a real player.

Fixed issues:

- Fixed an issue which caused matchmaking to glitch (you could have picked your pool but you were not able to actually load to the fight). - Fixed an issue due to which some of the players were not receiving rewards for battles in PvP modes. - Minor localization fixes. - Few terrain textures improvements. - Optimization improvements.

What’s new:

1) Campaign missions are now available in the Demo! Before this patch you’ve been busy rising in rating. This allowed you to fight on other eras and expand your army. Now, rating is opening campaign missions too! This means that you will also be able to try a bit more of a PvE-part of the game before purchase :) To unlock a mission, you need to receive a certain amount of rating points for fighting in Skirmish. This number corresponds to one of the 7 ranks in the game. If your rating points number drops down, the mission will become unavailable again (even if you managed to play it before). Please remember that additional missions will remain inaccessible in the Demo. 2) Changes in the rating system The amount of rating points received for victories and defeats has been increased threefold. This will allow Demo version players reach 2nd and 3rd eras faster and fight on them.

Fixed issues:

1) Fixed a bug in Sevastopol mission which led to a freeze after certain actions and made the completion of the mission impossible; 2) Fixed a bug in March on Berlin due to which a defeat screen was shown after the final cutscene instead of a victory one; 3) Fixed several historical inaccuracies in Rebellion in Warsaw; 4) Corrected a few mistakes in English and German localizations.

What's new:

- FAQ button added! For all Blitzkrieg 3 new players out there, it was not that easy to get a few aspects of the game sometimes. To make your gaming experience more pleasant and comfortable, we've added a small in-game FAQ, which will answer some of the most popular starters' questions. You can always hide this button from the top panel if you do not need it and turn it back on in the game settings.

Fixed issues:

- Optimization adjustments; - Fixed an issue in Sevastopol mission, where ammo was brought to Karl by Russian truck. Now it is, as it must be, a German truck; - Fixed the gun visualization bug of the German era 3 infantry (shoutout to Caboose for the report); - Fixed victory screen visualization on Mountain Waterfall map; - Fixed a number of issues in German localization.

What's new:

1) New Allies mission - "The Liberation of Paris"! In this scenario, you will fight for the liberation of the capital of France from the occupation of the Germans. You will lead the advanced Allied forces and send them into battle under the Eiffel Tower. There is a large camp of German troops nearby it. Your army is limited, but the rebellious Parisians are ready to fight for the liberation of their hometown by your side. Together, you will force German troops out of Paris! http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/4596683/e658789406ecd172b1089977e4cd99e4752ed670.jpg http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/4596683/85fbd56f727011bd431f19f96369e1b95ef465a8.jpg http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/4596683/432f824f251d1c66d57d736b51bef6360257eb3c.jpg 2) Added timers (which show how much time is left before the units from reserve will appear on the battlefield) Now it will be easy for you to see how many seconds it will take for the reserves to join the fight. This knowledge will allow you to perform better on the battlefields. http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/4596683/e8e9349db4d75aad9c299f7dfb2c94ffe0abf52d.jpg

Fixed issues:

1) Fixed a number of issues which lead to disconnects (especially on the Asian servers). 2) Before, when you made a save, logged out of the game and turned it on again, the first thing you could see was a battle report where you saw you were defeated. You were able to load the game, still. Now, when you will enter the game while having a save, you will be asked if you want to load the save first. 3) When you fought on "Mountain waterfall" map on the 2nd era, you may have noticed that all guns on it were from era 3. Now all guns are from the same era you are playing on. 4) Fixed victory screen on the "Border Town" map. 5) Fixed Rokossovsky's rewards for leveling up the reputation. Before, you were given era 3 tank for leveling the reputation to level 1 and could not use it right away due to it. Now you will receive era 1 tank for reaching level 1 with this commander. 6) Fixed a lot of issues and typos in game texts.

What's new:

1) Rewind feature in missions There were many comments left by Blitzkrieg 3 community members asking for an ability to speed up the units movement around the map. Your wish came true with this patch :) Now you will be able to play on x2 speed.

Its main feature is two absolutely different neighboring climate zones. One side of the map is covered with snow, and the other one has already entered springtime. You can read more about it in our previous Development blog. http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/4596683/c92f22453f71d5191290b88cb49a5d544aecd2a1.jpg 3) 7 new achievements added All of the new achievements can be unlocked through completing the first missions of the game.
