Change Log

Conquest

• Added new feature to Conquest: "Skip Preparation Time" - Preparation time has been completely recoded to run through the conquest game .set file instead of being semi-faked through a delay in Bot's behavior scripts. - This change allows for several new features when the player is defending: - Defense missions now start with an official Preparation Phase. - Preparation Time is now displayed in the UI for users to see how long they have before the enemy attack will naturally start. - A "Skip Preparation Time" button is now available at the top of the list of stages on the right side of the screen. - Once clicked, the timer will reach 0, and the enemy will begin their attack - Preparation Time is set to a default of 20 minutes (previously it was randomized between 6-8min)
• Added new feature to Conquest: "Move Deployment Point" - When Player is the Defender, you can now choose where your Stages will spawn and move the deployment point to any location on the map during the Preparation Phase. Use carefully! - To do so, click on the "Move Deployment Point" button at the top of the Stages list on the right side of the screen, then click on the ground to change position from the default position at the edge of the map. - Clicking on a Stage Button or in CooP, the stage "spawn and transfer" button, will spawn all units in that stage at the deployment location. - Players can move the Deployment Point as many times as they wish until the Preparation time ends. - After the Preparation Phase ends, repositioning of the Deployment point will be disabled and will be returned to the default position near the edge of the map. - This feature can greatly reduce the time needed to prepare by allowing you to spawn Stages closer to the objectives.
• Added 'ammo point' cost when buying new supply vehicles
• Added modifiers per resource type to Conquest economy settings: PaybackFactor, SellFactor, and ScavengedVehicleSellFactor
• Added {pauseDuringPreparation} to conquest game mode: campaign_capture_the_flag.set - Controls if the simulation is paused during the preparation time/phase - Defaults to "true" if not defined
• Added new Conquest-specific LUA script API's: - BotApi.Events.PrepTimeOver for when preptime ends either naturally or the user ends early - BotApi.Conquest.PlayerSpawnPoint for LUA to know which spawn point the player is in Conquest - BotApi.Conquest.Attacking for the bot to explicitly know if it is the attacker or defender in Conquest
• Updated (in Conquest only) ammo trucks/crates to not regenerate supply during battle
• Updated Bot Commander to choose the next unit it will purchase at the moment of purchase instead of immediately after the previous unit. Buying decisions are better when based on the current situation.
• Updated bot purchases to spawn sequential instead of at random spawn points (1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4-...)
• Updated Conquest bot logics: - bot units interrupted and engaged on their way to flags, if their enemy target survives the exchange: they are now noted for the possibility of further pursuit by more units. Noted units in conquest must be only the user type(simplified) - Defender bot mgs no longer build self sandbags as persistent maps when sides or go from attack to defense, there is a chance another nation that has lower mgs will be blocked by those. - Clean up of "ignore" bot collection near flags and other related scripts. - Enemy airstrike possibility is also based on preparation time end, especially if skipped, when the player is defending. - update stock conquest script for skipping prep as defender(player) so that enemy air attack is based on timing with that, enemy indicators are deleted, and player spawn is moved back on prep over. - default spawns marking for script purposes improved. - all logic scripts fixed to ignore airplanes properly. - general bot handling/tagging executes much faster. - fixed bots tank logic where it could result in tank driving without shooting for short time. - fixed music script randomization math.
• Updated all Conquest map .mi files: - replaced map_point with map_point_conquest - added new "include" for "functions". needed for the new and future features. {functions (include "../dcg_functions.inc")}
• Increased score gained by player by owning most flags when they are defending in Conquest
• Removed Victory point scoring during preparation time
• Removed killing enemy units in Conquest giving Victory points towards winning the battle
• Removed from source code for Conquest, Bot spawning override behavior that made 1 bot player spawn units randomly from multiple spawn points. Which spawn point a purchased unit will spawn from can now be controlled via LUA scripts. This also means default behavior will be all bot purchases come from 1 map point unless told otherwise.
• Renamed several existing Conquest-specific LUA script API: - BotApi.Instance.CampaignFirstEnemyId -> BotApi.Conquest.FirstEnemyId - BotApi.Instance.CampaignDefenderBotId -> BotApi.Conquest.DefenderBotId - BotApi.Instance.CampaignFirstPlayerId -> BotApi.Conquest.FirstPlayerId
• Fixed in Conquest the buy_and_transfer button to use the same as the underlying button based on cost
• Fixed in Conquest players' pop-up user name not hiding when spawning stage
• Fixed crash when attempting to play Conquest when player has a corrupted save in their user profile. If a save has become corrupted, it cannot appear (due to missing data) in the "load saves" list.
• Fixed enemy bot score gain from owning flags while its the defender not reading the .set file values correctly
• Fixed dcg_f_bridges_of_lysovo altitude haze
• Fixed water-filled trench on dcg_nord_battery
• Fixed floating grass on dcg_bergen_radar

Single Player

• The Legend of Krasny Bor(1943_02_krasny_bor) - The entire evacuation trucks segment is fixed and improved, and trucks take the safest route to escape. - Evacuation trucks and medics cannot be blown up or hurt until they are well underway during the evacuation task. - Evacuation completion improved. - pathing fixes. - map fixes and removed some entities so that some cannons, such as Pak 40, cannot be blocked from firing by annoying netting poles.
• The Eagles and the Devils(1944_06_05_carentan) - fixed possible coop assignment issue for one squad of soldiers (us_reinf_2) related to player ID.
• The Hills of Saint-Lô(1944_06_saint_lo_hills) - Clean up of initial assignment to not leave anything to chance, as there have been reports in coop.
• Tears and Sweat (1940_05_13_dyle) - extended infantry covers in the first phase - removed the dialogue during the preparation phase
• The Northern Gambit (1944_06_tali-ilhantala) - fixed broken heightmap polygons. - fixed the global map used that did not exist.
• Carpathian Turmoil(1944_09_yugoslavia) - all humans inventory reset as some soldiers had wrong weapons and it caused issues with resupply - added entity manager on possible late in the mission for optimization
• Escaping the Pocket(1944_08_19_falaise_escape) - Fixed missing inventory weapons
• All Skirmishes - fixed bots tank/cars logic where it could result in tank driving without shooting for short time.

Multiplayer

• Updated Bot Commander to choose the next unit it will purchase at the moment of purchase instead of immediately after the previous unit. Buying decisions are better when based on the current situation.
• Updated Multiplayer bot logics: - update units interrupted and engaged on their way to flags, if their enemy target survives the exchange: they are now noted for the possibility of further pursuit by more units. - Improved bots bailing from cannons and similar weapons when the enemy is nearby, point-blank. Fixed case where bailed bots would often obey the lua move even though the cannon they bailed from was engaged(more soldiers still on it). Now each existing bot will be instantly set to disregard any Lua or other script commands, deal with any nearby threat, and even look for it. The main reason for this change is that players noticed bots bailing cannons and took advantage of some loopholes in the previous AI script. - fixed "lua ignore" collection designed to keep some bot units(both human and vehicles) near flags. - bot logics script fix - more fixes bots meant for ignoring lua move orders to prevent bots far away from flags being put into this state. - updated bots to squad up ~5 soldiers to chase/pursue previously discovered enemy(noted) can now execute 25% more often. (chance_ai_pursue) - fixed bots tank logic where it could result in tank driving without shooting for short time.
• Changed client performance bars to reflect more recent performance by updating ever 10s instead of once at the end of a completed match. Bars are an average of multiple performance reports.
• Fixed desync issue in netcode for territory type (caused humans to swim under land sometimes after crossing deep water)
• Fixed several crashes related to netcode: - crash in eChassisFoot when a client has not yet received the path details from the server - crash on client if there is no valid target actor in game stats event - crash in vehicle chassis on not yet initialized locomotion controller
• Fixed a missing breed price entry in multiplayer for ger/late/fallsch_sl_asst_stg
• Fixed domination ammo crate placement on 4v4_vlissingen_breach
• Fixed 3v3_wotan floating objects
• Fixed 4v4_vitebsk floating objects and a few buildings too low into the height map, making doors not accessible

• Added interface/action/teleport.set for Conquest off-map support (airstrikes/artillery strikes)
• Added fern type grass to the western front biome
• Updated QueryScene function in LUA scripts to ignore empty vehicles
• Updated props in all vehicle .def files that are used for LUA scene query and added scene_query_readme.md to LUA scripts folder to explain schema rules
• Updated unit icons for sherman5_mid
• Updated unit icons for kv1_41
• Updated damage schematic for stug3b
• Updated flammpanzer_b2 damage schematic

Steam Summer Sale

Game Update

Highlights

Opting in for the Open Beta

Steam Workshop

Community members! We are taking part in a very special sale this week. It’s a one week sale only, during which a few selected World War 2 Games will be on a discount. This week also marks 81 years since the end of the war.

World War 2

Whether you like it realistic or not, the World War 2 theme will always be represented in every generation of games. This war will always keep fascinating the world, and gamers are no exception there. It’s only fitting to choose this week, marking 81 years of freedom, to have this themed sale. Original image by \Rizzler In real frontline life, it was more like being dragged to the Gates of Hell - which is exactly why we named our game the way we did. In Call to Arms - Gates of Hell, we have incorporated as much realism as possible. Detailed recreations of the actual battlefields are just one part of that.

Remembering

This week it is 81 years since the end of the bloodiest conflict the world has ever seen. In the Soviet Union alone, around 25 million people lost their lives - over one third of this war’s estimated 70 million casualties. Never forget that the freedom we know today was paid for in blood. Whether you celebrate the end of World War 2 in Europe on the 5th, the 8th or the 9th of May doesn’t matter too much. The USSR, USA and Commonwealth (and many other countries) - together - defeated Nazism, that's what matters.

One week

We will have this sale for exactly one week, in which you’ll be able to treat yourself to some serious replay value. The discount is up there, and we expect many players will be looking to complete their collection. If you buy the bundle, you can get an additional 10% discount: P.S.: If you are indeed new to the game, we recommend you join the official Discord by clicking on the banner below, in case you have questions. You’re also welcome there if you just want to discuss the theme “World War 2”. You will find some 39K like-minded gamers right there! Community Art by ArontheBaron

Did you know?

• The bundle contains a total of over 1000 tanks and vehicles

• It also contains 90+ single player missions and skirmishes

• All of our single player missions can be played in co-op as well

• New to the game? Please watch our gameplay tutorials.

That’s it for now, see you on the battlefield!

Discount

Community members! Because we’ll be taking part in the Steam Spring Sale, we think today is a really good moment to bring some QoL changes to Call to Arms - Gates of Hell. We have several changes lined up, and now it’s time for you to try them! Of course, and as usual, we have set up an Open Beta for you. The Beta will become the live version when the Spring sale starts.

Highlights

• ‘Auto Vaulting’: Infantry can now jump over fences, low walls, and will do so automatically when following movement orders

• 'Manual Vaulting': While directly controlling a human, either in classic direct control or 3rd person, you can now use a keybind to jump over fences and small walls

• In Conquest, operation size ‘unlimited’ has been removed. You can still go unlimited by selecting "next operation” at the end of a campaign in order to keep your assets, veterancy and research. This way, you avoid playing on the same handful of maps with increasing amounts of persistent damage.

These are just a few of the many changes and fixes in the new version. If you prefer more detail, check out the Change Log we released. The changelog also contains an important message for mod creators. Vaulting in action. Screenshot courtesy of @Cheezy

Opting in for the Open Beta

To join the beta, you only need to switch your game to the beta version. When the beta becomes the live version, you don’t need to do anything at all to reverse the process. If you do want to be among the first to try these changes, go to your Steam library, right-click on the game, select properties - Game Versions & Betas- open beta. Done! You can switch back to the current version at any time, using the same process.

Roadmap

We’re already in full swing to produce the next DLC, and you can expect to get more news this spring when we update our roadmap for 2026 and beyond. As soon as we have that sorted, we will share it with you.

Did you know?

• In June, it will have been 5 years since the release of “Ostfront.”

• The release came after a Beta that lasted 3 months

• Its content amount has roughly doubled since

That’s it for now, enjoy the Open Beta! Which DLCs will you be wishlisting for the sale? Let us know in the comments!
