Crossfire: Sierra Squad news & patch notes

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44220472/9dd46a0bfac7b56b5c8c33ccc4dcb4dfa893a2cf.jpg Greetings, Mercenaries! Since our Early Access launch, you guys have been of tremendous help in improving Crossfire: Sierra Squad. We are humbled and grateful for this community. Most of all, we hope that you are enjoying the game as much as we do. If you are, please consider nominating us for the Steam Awards – VR Game of the Year! Your support would mean the world to us. Thank you, and see you on the battlefield!

Greetings, Mercenaries! Here’s another hotfix that addresses the issues some of our players have been experiencing. Please see the patch note below for more details. 1. Improved Controls - All weapon offsets have been reset and the default values have been optimized. Please note that this means that you may need to recalibrate the weapon offset/angles, especially if you’ve tweaked it prior to the patch. 2. Bug Fixes - The issue where guest players couldn’t shoot down RPGs and enemy grenades has been fixed. - Raul no longer gets stuck in objects in certain areas of the story campaign. - You can now properly block players after kicking them in multiplayer. Also, some players might be experiencing less than optimum latency while playing on the same platform, especially if you’re playing the horde mode. Disabling the crossplay option should help greatly with the issue. Lastly, please note that the launch discount (-10%) for Crossfire: Sierra Squad will be ending and the game will be returning to its regular price on November 15th (Wednesday). As always, we thank you for your continued feedback and support of the game!

Crossfire: Sierra Squad has left Steam Early Access and is now a full release! Since entering Steam Early Access on August 28th, we have listened to your passionate feedback and worked towards many additions and improvements to ultimately deliver an experience that both our community and our team can be proud of. Here are some highlights of added features and improvements we’ve made since launching in Early Access:

• Weapon control improvements such as optional manual reloading, better scope mechanics, hold and toggle, angle alignment, offhand control, etc.
• UX improvements such as cross-platform play with PlayStation VR2 and PC VR, improved matchmaking with a public lobby system for squad missions, an additional difficulty setting, additional combat sequences, etc.
• UI improvements such as weapon perk notification, highlighting the tutorial in the story campaign, refining the navigation guide, HUD on/off option, etc.
• Unlocked Realism Mode from the start
• bHaptics support
• And of course, bug fixes

In gratitude of all the feedback we’ve received so far, we’ve decided to extend our Early Access discount pricing ($26.99 USD) a little longer. Thank you again, and we hope that you enjoy your time with Crossfire: Sierra Squad! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44220472/0a532bc721d18833f3f8d5bd7a401ed0bfe05043.png

Greetings, Mercenaries! This is our first update of October and as usual, we’ve added many features requested by our community. Please see the patch note below for more details. 1. Manual Reloading - You’ll now get the option to choose manual reloading when you log into the game for the first time. You can, of course, change this setting any time. - With the option enabled, you’ll be able to manually reload most of the weapons similar to how they behave in the real world. - Please note that we’ll be taking in user feedback to tweak this feature as we move forward. 2. Multiplayer Improvement - You’ll now be able to choose between online/offline play when starting the Squad Mission. - By having the online play enabled, other players will be able to drop in and join your missions. 3. Tutorial Campaign Improvement (Story Campaign 02) - Similar to what we’ve done with Story Campaign 01, Campaign 02 has been reworked to offer better gameplay experience. - The “sniping phase” of the mission has been shortened and new combat areas have been added. - There are more weapons on the map now for players to experiment with. 4. Misc. Improvements - Control guide page has been added to the tutorial where you can see the button settings, as well as see the weapons you’ve equipped. - You can now adjust the offset value for your weapons to tweak the controller angle. - Minor UI/UX elements have been improved for better visibility. - We’ve tweaked the controls for Valve Index slightly. This should hopefully make it easier to hold onto the weapons without dropping them. As always, we thank you for your feedback and your patience.

Tutorial Campaign Improvement (Story Campaign 01) - We have removed sections that weren’t adding much to the game other than slowing it down (chasing the gang member, shooting the hammer to open up the door, etc.). - More combat sequences have been added so that you can experience the different types of combat. - The default weapon equipped behind your right shoulder slot now has the proper magazine to allow one-handed reloads. - There are more weapons (DMR, shotgun) on the map now for players to experiment with. 2. bHaptics Integration - The game now supports bHaptics!

Restarting from the checkpoint will speed up the heartbeat again. - You can feel the stimpack effect as it courses your body. - You’ll feel which direction you’re getting hit from.

No official integration date has been announced yet, we will have more information for you soon!

Greetings, Mercenaries! This is our first regular (non-hotfix) update of the month and it addresses some of the bigger issues requested by the community. We plan to roll out more updates on a regular basis that’ll continue to improve the gameplay experience. Please see the patch note below for more details. 1) Improved Matchmaking We have added a public lobby system for the Squad Mission that should hopefully make it easier to join other players. We'll also be tweaking and finetuning the system as necessary. 2) Improved Weapon Controls - The scope mechanics for sniper rifles have been improved. Instead of seeing just the scope with everything else blacked out, it'll now behave more closely to how it works in real life. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44220472/d4e5d8665b68ee9148a163b72dc195e473dc035f.gif - The issue where certain ammo types weren't interacting with the AUG properly has been fixed. 3) Improved UI - You can now press the menu button to immediately return to the shooting range after completing a mission. - The "navigation" guidance arrows now blink for better visibility. - The default difficulty setting has been set to "Normal" for those new to VR shooters (the VR affinity option). - It is now easier to find the Realism mode menu. - It is now easier to track your Squad Mission progress. 4) Bug Fixes - The issue where you couldn't properly finish certain 5-star Squad missions has been fixed. - The issue where the helicopter sequence in multiplayer wasn't showing up properly for guest players has been fixed. - Your reloading progress bar now displays properly even when the weapon's being tilted. - The issue where weapon grab sounds weren't being played properly has been fixed. - The graphical glitch when putting the shield in one of your slots has been fixed. - You can no longer equip shields in your left shoulder slot and pull it out from other slots. - There was an issue where certain weapons wouldn’t function properly if you attempted to customize them while having them equipped with empty magazines. This has been fixed. As always, we thank you for your feedback and your patience.

This has been fixed. As always, we thank you for your feedback and your patience.

Hotfix #5 is here! This patch addresses even more issues to improve the user experience, as well as fixing some of the critical bugs. 1) Weapon Sound Improvement - Weapon sound effects for some weapons, as well as for when you have the silencer on, have been improved. This is both for the person using the weapon and those around the player. 2) Improved Controls - The “Toggle” feature now works properly even when you have Auxiliary Hand Influence active. 3) Gameplay Improvements - All one-handed weapons found on the Story Campaign maps now come with the “one-handed” attachments that allow you to reload with one hand. - There is now a “Casual VR Gamer” option when choosing your VR affinity. While this will impact the default settings, you can change them at any point in the game. - The yellow “navigation” guide that shows you the path to the objectives has been refined so that it’s less intrusive. 4) Bug Fixes - The frame drop issue in certain missions has been resolved. As there is a possibility this issue could persist in certain specific situations, we’re continuously going through the logs as we speak. - The “navigation” guide issue where it showed up multiple times and didn’t disappear as they should has now been fixed. - The Horde mode now functions properly after wave 39. - The issue where the guest player’s stimpack UI sometimes didn’t display properly has been fixed. - The issue where the out of bounds warning sometimes popped up while loading has been fixed. - Shields in your equipment slot no longer disappear when you move to the next checkpoint. - The issue where you could sometimes fall through the map in specific situations has been fixed. - The companion description no longer shows up when you’re playing the squad mission (multiplayer). - The issue where the sound effect for the “Hammer” unit’s melee attack was missing has been fixed. As always, we thank you for your feedback and your patience.

Greetings, Mercenaries! Hotfix #4 is here! This patch addresses some of the more pressing issues that hindered content progression, as well as some changes to the Realism mode and minor improvements/bug fixes. 1) Black Screen Issue - The issue where a mission sometimes doesn’t load up properly (the “Black Screen” issue) should be resolved for the most part. Being fully transparent, there is a small chance that the issue might still affect a small subset of players. We’ll be monitoring the situation closely. 2) Mission Progression Issue - The issue where you are sometimes stuck (often behind a door) and are unable to progress further in certain missions has been resolved. 3) Results Screen Issue - The issue where a mission doesn’t end when the results screen pops up has been resolved for the most part. Again, we suspect there is a small chance the issue might still affect a small subset of players and will be monitoring the logs. The last Story Campaign episode in particular seems to be more prone to this and while you can restart the episode to resolve the issue, we understand how inconvenient that can be and will work to resolve the issue as soon as possible. 4) Realism Mode - The issue where starting Story Campaign episode 1 auto-selects recommended weapons has been fixed. - The following UI elements have been removed from the Realism mode:

• Not enough ammo icon
• The alert that pops up when you try to scope while under the effect of a flashbang
• Unable to use weapons indicator
• Sitting/crouching indicator
• Drone’s laser sight
• Enemy grenade indicator
• Mortar ammo count
• Location of the weapons placed around the map
• Objects you can pick up on the map

5) Weapon Sound Improvements - The issue where weapons didn’t sound quite right when using certain weapons has been resolved. 6) Misc. Bug Fixes

• The issue where “GP” was referred to as “Gold” has been resolved.
• The issue where helicopters sometimes respawned immediately after being destroyed has been resolved.
• Starting the tutorial with left hand selected as main now shows the tutorial video properly.

7) Tutorial Indicator - The first three episodes of the Story Campaign were meant to serve as an introductory hands-on training session where you learn the elements of the game in a less brutal environment to prepare for what’s ahead. We’ve added a indicator on these episodes to clarify. 8) Known Issues

• Pressing the grab button when the game asks you to choose your VR affinity displays an unintended alert message.
• Players on certain devices may not be able to grab the grenade launcher with both hands.
• The yellow "navigation" guide that shows you the path to the objectives sometimes show up multiple times and don't disappear as you walk over them

As always, we thank you for your feedback and your patience.

Greetings, Mercenaries! Hotfix #3 addresses even more of the issues reported by the community: 1) Realism Mode

• Realism mode is now unlocked as soon as you start the game!
• Please note that while the mode offers a unique gameplay experience, it also comes with added difficulty. We recommend that you challenge the mode after learning all of the gameplay mechanics (don’t forget the tutorial!) and gaining more experience.

2) Additional Rewards

• You now earn GP in Horde mode.
• We have replaced the one-time GP reward at the end of the Story Campaign with individual GP rewards for clearing each Story Campaign mission (repeatable!).

3) Weapon Controls

• You can now choose how you grab and interact with weapons (including grenades) and objects – Hold and Toggle. Note: there is a known issue that when using “Toggle” while you have “Auxiliary Hand Influence” active, your auxiliary hand cannot use the Toggle feature (only your main hand can). We plan to have that corrected in a future hotfix.
• Weapon handling when the magnetic intensity is set to 0 has slightly been improved.
• Weapon jitter for Shotguns and Sniper Rifles when using auxiliary/offhand control has been reduced.

4) Controller Angle Alignment

• You can now also adjust the base horizontal angle alignment of your controllers.

5) Movement Improvement

• The issue where physically crouching/sitting sometimes starts recalibration has been fixed.
• Reduced movement speed is now properly applied when crouching.

6) Misc. Bug Fixes

• The issue where the NPC would behave abnormally in certain missions has been fixed.
• The issue where players could sometimes go through doors in certain missions has been fixed.
• HUD is now properly located when starting the game with SteamVR.
• The controller hologram in tutorial has now been changed to META QUEST 2. We plan to add more device-specific holograms.
• The issue where the tutorial and some tooltips displayed incorrect button names has been fixed for the following devices: META QUEST, META QUEST 2, META QUEST Pro, Oculus Rift, Oculus Rift 2, VIVE, VIVE Pro and PICO 4.
• SteamVR menu button now works properly when using the left-handed controls.

As always, we thank you for your feedback and your patience!

As always, we thank you for your feedback and your patience!

Greetings, Mercenaries! This hotfix addresses the following issues with Valve Index:

• Issue where the controllers and the in-game weapons don't line up properly (the "angle issue")
• Issue where HUD is placed outside of the player's view

We'll continue to take in feedback and work towards improving the game during the Early Access period to provide the best user experience possible. Your patience is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Greetings, mercenaries! We are counting down the hours to Launch Day and preparing to welcome you into the world of Crossfire: Sierra Squad on August 29th! Be sure to add it to your Steam wishlist to be notified as soon as the game is available. In the meantime, we have some updates for you that we’d like to share. Early Access As VR gaming technology continues to grow and improve, we are aiming high with Crossfire: Sierra Squad. In order to continue to push boundaries and get it right, when CFSS goes live on Steam on August 29th, it will be through Steam Early Access. The Early Access build contains most of the content we’re currently planning for and is extremely playable. We would, however, like to continue to improve the user experience by improving the UI/UX and PC & HMD optimization. This will also help us prepare for cross-platform play with the console version on PlayStation VR2. Our intent is to take the learning we get from player feedback and work it into our full release version. Also, with the player feedback we will be able to add new content in the future. Features we will be working on during the Early Access period include: ► Headset Compatibility – There are currently 10 PCVR headsets supported by CFSS. We want to ensure excellent performance across all supported headsets, whether players are playing solo or co-op, and whether they are playing on the same headsets or all different devices. We will be optimizing until we feel that everything is consistently performing as intended. Supported headsets currently include:

• Valve Index (hotfix #1 resolved the weapon angle and HUD issues)
• Oculus Rift S
• Oculus Rift
• Meta Quest Pro
• Meta Quest 2
• Meta Quest
• HTC VIVE Pro
• HTC VIVE Valve Index (note: currently working to resolve toggle/control issues)
• Windows MR (Samsung Odyssey)
• PICO 4

► PC Optimization – with so many PC builds and variants out there in the wild, we want to make sure that everyone has an equally stellar experience with CFSS, regardless of their rig. Optimizing a game to match various PC specs and HMD combinations involves many factors. Steam Early Access allows us to make any adjustments needed to provide the best possible gameplay. By involving players in the process, we can work to ensure that the game runs the best it can on each device. ► Cross-platform play – once we are happy with the performance of CFSS across the variety of headsets and PC setups that are out there, we will be instituting cross-platform play between PC and PlayStation VR2. That means that you’ll be able to easily play with your friends, whether they are on PC or console. ► And more! – we’ll also take this time to listen to player feedback on adding any new features to the game, like new skins, maps, etc. We’ll have more information on any additional features and/or content in the future. 10% Discount As a thank you for joining us in Steam Early Access, we will be temporarily pricing CFSS at $26.99 USD (a 10% discount) until the game leaves Early Access and goes into full release. Free Limited Time Weapon Skins During the Early Access period, players will be able to acquire two weapon skins from an in-game store for free -- the CAR4 Desert Camo and the Kalash 47 Black Laminate. These skins will only be available in the in-game store until the game goes into its full release. Also, to be clear, please note that Crossfire: Sierra Squad does not have any microtransactions within the game, so the remaining weapons available to everyone in the in-game store are available at no extra cost. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44220472/720d342a26d7dd7c5dddf7f461fc155ecb29165c.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44220472/c79040debf67af41166a414bcfa569f26ee85867.png Join us!
