War of Rights news & patch notes

Hello everyone,

Today, four years after the development of horses for War of Rights began, we are immensely proud and excited to host the very first public tests of the addition of horses to the game, later to be fully released on July 17th!

Horse pre-release testing will run on the War of Rights Official Test Server between now and July 17. The dates and times of each session will be announced in advance.

The very first horse test is expected to go live within the next few hours from the time of this posting! Slots are limited for this test, so join the public test server now for your place in todays test.

We will be announcing whenever horses are available for testing on our Discord at: https://discord.gg/warofrights so please keep an eye out in the Announcements channel there if you wish to partake in multiple tests as we approach the July 17 release date of Update 200.

Let’s dive into the specifics of the contents of Update 200 and the pre-release public tests below!

For the first time in War of Rights, players will be able to take to the battlefield on a mount! The first thing players will notice is the addition of the new Cavalry Branch in the deployment menus, where both mounted and dismounted cavalry are located. The Cavalry Branch will be available on the historical skirmish maps that already feature dismounted cavalry, such as at Pry Ford; cavalry units will be accessible to both factions in the vast majority of Contention and Conquest game modes; and nearly all Drill Camp skirmish areas will also now feature Cavalry units. Mounts are also featured in the Drill Camp game mode, with Cavalry now having its own camp area. In all game modes, when playing as an officer of any branch, you will have the choice to ride atop a gallant steed.

First, to mount a horse, the player presses F when prompted at the saddle. Historically, cavalrymen dismounted on the left side—but you may dismount from whatever direction you are facing. Look left while pressing F, and you will dismount on the horse’s left side, provided no obstacles prevent you from doing so. Horses feature four movement gaits— the walk, trot, canter, and gallop—allowing you to adapt your speed to any situation using the W and S keys. While riding, you can steer using the standard movement controls A and D keys.

There is also an oversteering mechanism that, while using the left shift key, your horse will shift its weight and pivot around its front legs, enabling much tighter turns than would otherwise be possible. At higher speeds, horses will be capable of jumping obstacles such as fences and other battlefield obstructions using the spacebar.

Mounted players will have access to a wide range of equipment. From horseback, you'll be able to use carbines, pistols, swords, flags, and binoculars. While mounted, you can choose to holster your weapons and take the reins with both hands by pressing the H key. Horses can also be used offensively. Soldiers struck by a moving horse will be knocked to the ground, while players already on the ground risk being trampled and killed beneath the horse’s hooves.

Being able to move in formation has also been a major focus of development. Horses are able to strafe and reverse using the left control key, providing riders with more precise control of their mount. In addition, a new “parade mode” is toggle-able with the C key, allowing riders to automatically match infantry marching speeds, meaning it's easy to move alongside less equestrian troops!

To help bring these horses to life, we've introduced a variety of dynamic animal behaviours. Unattended horses may graze when suitable foliage is nearby, and they may tend to their natural needs throughout the battle. While trained for combat, nearby explosions and sustained gunfire can still startle them, causing visible reactions depending on both the severity of the disturbance and the horse's temperament. Should an unattended horse be hurt, it will flee. Finally, riders will have access to various emotes on horseback, like pointing with M1, saluting with F5, and rearing using the P key.

For those of you who enjoy customization, you'll notice a brand-new section in the customization menu: the Stables. This is where you'll be able to customize your horse and preview its appearance before heading onto the battlefield.

Cavalry units have had their arsenal updated as they now have access to an overhauled Sharps Carbine 1859 created using a 3D scan of an original weapon as a base to ensure that every detail is right.

Update 200 is introducing the foundations of mounted warfare, but we're already looking ahead to future additions. Planned features include horses being able to pull cannons, limbers, and supply wagons; the ability to tether horses to fences and stakes or lead horses on foot by the reins; swimming; and additional horse and saddle customizations.

We at Campfire Games are excited to see you all during the pre-release public testing and look forward to experiencing Update 200 alongside you when it fully releases on July 17th!

Before we close, we want to thank everyone for playing our time-limited event, 1776; and also best wishes to our American friends as they celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence!

That's all for today. We look forward to seeing you and your trusted steed on the battlefield!

Hello everyone,

Today, we are pleased to announce this year’s War of Rights: 1776 event, featuring several new units and weapons, will run from June 12th to July 6th!

Celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence by joining our massively immersive 400-player battles set during the Revolutionary War. Fight alongside the Patriots, or go to war for King George III as an English loyalist or Hessian mercenary!

The Campfire Games Team

Hello everyone,

Today, we’re pleased to announce the release of an all-new Alpha update, containing the biggest balance changes in War of Rights history, thanks to our recently introduced statistics tracking feature. Today’s update also includes major visual and audible improvements to the environments of War of Rights.

Work on the greatly anticipated Update 200 is still ongoing and we cannot wait to share more details about it with you in the near future, that being said, let’s dive into the specifics of today’s update below!

Skirmish Balance Overhaul

A month ago, we introduced stat tracking features to the game via a hotfix and we have now gathered enough of a pool of matches, allowing us to take the first steps towards a more equal and competitive War of Rights. Today’s initial balance overhaul is built on the collected data of 959 recorded Skirmish matches from the past month, all containing at least 100 players on the server from both public and organized/passworded rounds. The objective for today’s Skirmish Balance Overhaul is to come as close as possible to an average 0-0 ticket score (the hidden, determining factor for the 4 morale stages Battle Ready, Engaged, Taking Losses & Breaking) for the two factions at the end of each Skirmish round. A few Skirmish areas, such as Pry House and Piper Farm, were surprisingly close to even already; the vast majority of Skirmish areas, however, were in need of rather major adjustments.

It is worth noting that an average even 0-0 ticket score at the end of a specific Skirmish area does not necessarily mean that an average 50% win/loss chance of each faction is guaranteed. There are multiple factors at play in this, such as the strength of the end game events (Final Push and Last Stand), and thus we expect to continue to tweak these on a per-area basis. In short, players should expect much closer games on average from a morale stage standpoint.

As new metas form, and new features are introduced/tweaked, we’ll of course continue to balance the game with every major Alpha update going forward.

Balance & Environmental Pass Patch Notes

• Added the first major balance pass based on tracked server data. This will be an ongoing process as the game and metas evolve.

• Overhauled all tree and bush models in the game with bigger, more realistic leafed branches, resulting in better optimization as well as more accurate branch bending in stormy weather conditions.

• Overhauled the bending settings of all trees, bushes and cornstalks.

• Increased the visual fidelity of the grass up-close in-game.

• Overhauled the user interface screen shown once a player becomes a casualty in-game, now containing more descriptive comparisons between the three formation states (In Formation, Skirmishing and Out of Line), as well as informing the player what caused his incapacitation.

• Major game audio code pass, resulting in much more localized and reactive sounds based on your surroundings in-game. Also added new sounds to the forests, fields and interiors of the game.

• Added the 16th Connecticut Infantry, a new playable regiment to the game, replacing the 9th New York in the Hill’s Counterattack Skirmish area, Antietam. Organized in Hartford, Connecticut on August 24, 1862, the men of the 16th Connecticut had all of about three weeks to train in the fundamentals of drill and to get acquainted with army camp life. They did so, at least initially, without uniforms, tents, rifles, or even a Colonel to command them. On September 16, 1862, the men in their freshly issued uniforms loaded their muskets for the first time. They expected their regiment to be held in reserve during the coming battle. The following day, however, the 16th Connecticut had the immense misfortune to be the leading unit struck by the veteran regiments of General A. P. Hill’s late afternoon counterattack. They were so green, it is reported the flag bearer forgot to uncase the colors. In any case, after agonizing minutes of chaos under crossfire, the regiment broke.

• Overhauled the Springfield M1842 musket with a new model and texture using a 3D scan of an original musket as its base.

• Overhauled the Mississippi M1841 rifle with a new model and texture using a 3D scan of an original rifle as its base.

• Overhauled the player interpolation code of the game - in short how the delay between player positions on the server and the clients is shown, resulting in less players getting seemingly stuck on objects such as fences or interiors of houses, running in place, and teleporting forward after a while.

• Fixed the double bayonet visual issue while the attachment animation is playing.

• Fixed the broken spawns of Crecy’s Cornfield Skirmish area, Drill Camp.

• Possibly fixed a crash when interacting with artillery pieces.

• Re-enabled the previously announced feature of server slot reserving, allowing the player to reconnect to the server at the last location had he previously suffered a disconnect as well as bypass having to wait for a new server slot to open up on a full server.

• Brought the weapons closer to the head of the player when they are aimed for a clearer sight picture.

• The point of contention icons now get more and more inaccurate the further away from them you are in-game. This is an added feature to avoid players mindlessly hitting the exact area of the point using the icon as a guide.

Hello everyone,

Today, we’re excited to bring you our final update of 2025: Maryland, My Maryland!

As 2025 draws to a close, it’s the perfect time to reflect on what a fantastic year it has been. We pushed our server count up to 400, overhauled ballistics, introduced scoped rifles, and twice broke our concurrent player peak, first with the 1776 Limited Event and later with The Risen Dead, making this year truly unforgettable.

This update also lays a lot of important groundwork for our next major release: Update 200. We’re not quite ready to reveal all the details yet, but it’s safe to say it’s a highly requested feature and long overdue!

Christmas Event

Winter has once again come to Maryland! The autumn-clad countryside is now transformed into a bitterly cold, snowy landscape for the rest of the Christmas season. Snow, like rain, now interacts with our new cloud system, shaping the battlefield in new and dynamic ways.

It’s time to bundle up in style with the addition of great coats! During the event, you can snag a coat for your character by finding one in Santa’s presents, which magically tumble onto the battlefield. Keep your eyes sharp as Santa himself (aka our developers) will also be running around handing out coats to anyone on the nice list. But beware: the naughty list is real, so make sure you behave if you want one! And remember, these festive coats are only wearable while the Christmas event is active, so be sure to enjoy them while winter lasts!

Snowballs are back! But beware; Johnny Reb isn’t playing fair; some snowballs have stones! Headshots will knock enemies down, and a few snowballs while they’re down or another headshot will take them out.

Community Survey

As the year comes to a close, it’s time once again for the War of Rights community survey! If you haven’t had a chance to fill it out yet, please take a few moments to do so. Your feedback is absolutely invaluable as it helps us understand what you love, what you’d like to see improved, and how we can make the game even better for everyone. We really appreciate your input and can’t wait to continue shaping the game together with the community in 2026!

Take the survey here: https://forms.gle/Fe71M3rqrvf258yHA

Quality of Life

We’ve heard your feedback about not always knowing if your microphone is working or whether you’re actually transmitting. To address this, we’ve added a mic status icon that appears when you push to talk and shows if any audio is being transmitted. For those who prefer a clean, HUD-free, immersive experience, this icon can be turned off in the options.

We thought artillery was getting a bit left out in the character customizer, so we’ve given it its very own patch of land next to an artillery battery, complete with some new poses for photo mode. Now artillerists can really show off, strike a pose, or just look impressively explosive! And don’t worry as infantry can also access the battery location for some extra photo opportunities.

Lastly, we’ve added a temporary slot reservation for servers. In the event of a crash or timeout, you’ll have a three-minute window to rejoin and fully restore your character exactly where you left off. Check out the patch notes below for all the other additions and fixes!

Winter Update Patch Notes

• Drill camp skirmish areas no longer crash the game.

• Added support for 3-minute server slot reservation after game client crashes and timeouts. The player's character also persists during this time, and provided it has not been killed, the player will be fully restored to wherever they stood.

• Potentially fixed the rendering bug resulting in an occasional, temporary temporally smudged portal to another dimension.

• Added a speaking voice indicator, so that you know when your microphone is active and transmitting.

• Slightly optimized level load times.

• Fixed loading screens sometimes showing the main menu stuck on top.

• Fixed an issue where Precipitation, Fog and Wind would be locked from the start of a round.

• Added a new area to the character customizer.

• Added new animations for artillery units in the character customizer.

• Overhauled Piper Farm House.

That’s all for now! We hope you enjoy the Christmas holidays and New Year, and look forward to sharing another great year together.

October 1st, 1862

With Sharpsburg and Harper’s Ferry fallen to the dead, the passes of South Mountain become the next battleground for the living to defend. Longstreet’s Wing arrived after a forced march through the night to be met by the haggard forces that remained of the Union Fifth Corps. Enemies-turned-friends now await the Risen tide together.

Hello everyone,

The bell still tolls for the dead of the Maryland campaign. Blue and gray laid to rest in countless shallow graves across the battle-scared countryside. This night, however, some ancient evil stirs in the wind, rustling the autumn-clad leaves and disturbing the freshly dug dirt. They are here!

We’re excited to announce that “The Risen Dead” event is now live! Band together, Johnny Reb and Billy Yank, or die alone to the hordes of the living dead! Supporting 150 players battling up to 800 zombies at once, “The Risen Dead” Halloween event of War of Rights continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in an FPS game while still maintaining a focus on teamwork at a massive scale.

Use the all-new buildable fortifications, player abilities and upgradeable weapons to defend against the endless hordes, but keep an eye out for the spread of the risen dead!

Fortifications & Fieldworks

Here's the place we'll make our stand! Brace yourselves – the dead do not rest, and neither shall you. In this year's event, the living may now prepare the battlefield with new means of defense against the relentless tide.

Gabions – Woven wicker baskets, filled with earth and stone, now stand ready to blunt the charge of the shambling masses. A humble barrier, but one that may mean the difference between life and an early grave.

The Spread of the Horde

Following last year’s defense of Harpers Ferry, survivors will return once more to face the first waves. The familiar streets and bridges will again be stained with blood, but the dead have grown bolder.

New Horrors Awakened

The clash of musket and cannon against the restless dead has shaken the very earth. From the smoldering soil, a terror unlike any yet faced now rises: a colossal beast of shadow and flame, whispered by the trembling few who survive its presence as The Inferno Titan.

For those hardened companies who endure the slaughter to Wave 15, this new trial awaits. The Titan’s form towers above all others, its molten fury searing the night. To bring it down will demand unity of fire, precision volleys, and unmatched artillery coordination. Only the most disciplined of regiments will prevail. Triumph here is not just survival—it is the key to unlocking this year’s special achievement, earned only by slaying the Titan across every battlefield.

With the awakening of the Inferno Titans, the undead grow more clever and more dangerous. The brutes now wield a terrifying strength, wrenching boulders from the earth itself and hurling them toward the living. These stones crush flesh and timber alike—no line, no wall, no soldier is safe from their barrage of stone.

Upgrades, Equipment and Abilities

New Upgrades and Weapons

• Torch Bearer Upgrades – The Torch Bearer now has a dedicated set of upgrades, which can be purchased to improve the deployment speed of players in the spawn queue.

• Scoped Whitworth – A new addition to the weapon pool, the scoped Whitworth comes with a unique upgrade to increase bullet velocity, making long-range shots even deadlier.

Improved Artillery – Artillery effectiveness has been greatly enhanced for the Risen Dead event. Explosive shells now deal damage over a much wider area against the undead. With direct hits stunning Brutes and Titans alike. The Spongerammer can also be upgraded to load and interact with artillery pieces more quickly, keeping the guns firing at full pace.

Abilities

Officers of both the Confederacy and Union now have new tools available in the shop:

• Artillery Strike – Designate a target area for off-map artillery to bombard, clearing the dead and disrupting their advance.

• Morale Boost – Rally your men on the field, granting double damage for a short duration as courage spreads through the ranks.

After purchasing their new abilities, officers can bring up the ability menu mid-game by pressing H and deploy them.

Increased Player Count

This year, the battlefield swells with even more defenders. The player count for the event has been raised from 100 to 150, giving your regiments greater strength but with every new soldier comes an even greater threat. The undead have multiplied accordingly, with up to 800 zombies on screen at once, pressing from every direction.

Prepare for larger engagements, relentless waves, and the ultimate test of teamwork. Stand firm and make your mark with us in one of the largest cooperative shooter events ever staged.

Regular Content Additions

We know the reanimation of dead tissue isn’t everyone’s cup of (sweet) tea, so we also have some content additions for regular War of Rights which is not part of the time-limited Risen Dead event.

Introducing Jeff. Davis Legion

We are proud to introduce the Jeff. Davis Legion, a Mississippi battalion brigaded with Wade Hampton's cavalry during the Maryland Campaign that consisted of three companies of Mississippians, two companies of Alabamians, and one company of Georgians. Players will find in this new Mississippi unit a new battle flag, an assortment of new jackets (including a very fancy early war shell and matching trousers), and new Mississippi and Alabama buttons and buckles representing the historical composition of this unit. The Jeff. Davis Legion appears dismounted in the Pry Ford and Grist Mill skirmish areas on Antietam, equipped with Sharps carbines, sabres, and an assortment of pistols.

Our historians can also finally let out a sigh of relief that Holcombe’s Legion is now, at long last, brought up to historical standards. These South Carolinians, now appropriately portrayed as a regiment of infantry sporting Enfield Rifles, are now featured on Crecy's Cornfield in the Drill Camp rotation.

Hello everyone,

Update 195 Patch Notes

• Increased the player cap from 300 to 350 for even bigger and more immersive Civil War battles.
• Added Nicodemus barn to the game, replacing the placeholder Pry barn model used up until now.

Fortunately, journalists photographed and sketched both the exterior and interior of the nearby Smith barn while it served as a field hospital following the Battle of Antietam. Our model is inspired by these photographs and sketches of Smith barn, which also featured a thatched-roof. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25965595/8ff78abf2c9d2ca8ad90f2c1e73c57a51cce9e7b.jpg

Profiles, Stat Tracking, Match History and Rewards

Leaderboards & Seasons

Units

• Level: Just like players, Units can play qualifying matches together to earn experience and increase in level signified by a special unit green wreath.
• Automatic Tags: Customize your unit tags to automatically display on unit members' names in-game, with options to include their rank and unit number.
• Ranks: Manage your unit members effectively by assigning ranks or groups within the unit. During events, you can configure settings to restrict members to their respective ranks.
• Match History: Games played with a sufficient number of unit members will be recorded in your unit's match history. This will impact your unit’s statistics and position in the unit leaderboards. Passworded matches will also be recorded and marked specially as event games.
• Unit Achievements: Collaborate within your unit to unlock achievements together.
• Challenges: Your unit leader will be able to select from a pool of bi-weekly challenges which if completed collaboratively will reward both the unit and the participating players with service record and in-game unlockables.
• And more…

Toxicity

• Global Bans: Bans exclusively issued by developers will now apply across all servers, not just specific ones. Each ban will be permanently recorded on the player's profile and will impact their standing within the community. A record of when they were banned, for what reason and who by will be stored.
• Offense System: After accumulating five bans (serious offenses), a player will face a permanent ban from the game, and will not be permitted on any server official or otherwise. Minor offenses can also be issued which are for minor infractions that don’t constitute a strike on your profile and while recorded won’t affect your profile standing. Community server admins are not able to issue any serious or minor offenses to anyone. Those are strictly developer issued strikes to the Service Records profile of the offender. Community server admins can continue to kick and ban on their server as they have been able to do up until now without any of those penalties showing up as any kind of offenses on the offender's Service Records profile.
• Report Mechanism: We recognize that we can't be everywhere at once, so players will now have the ability to report others for inappropriate conduct. Our team will review these reports thoroughly.

Update 193 Patch Notes

• Added 10 artillery battery crews to the character customizer: Cooper, Edgell, Stewart, Cook, Richardson, Miller, Squires, Pelham, Balthis and Brockenbrough.

• Fixed several character issues including artillery items, kepi materials, incorrect insignias, shirt textures and beard vertex normals.
• Updated the straw hat geometry.
• Added additional shirts and trousers for the 1st LA.
• Added destructible doors.

• Added procedural blood and mud buildup on characters.
• Updated the kepi and braids for the US sharpshooters.
• Added feather options for the hats of the 6th WI.
• Fixed inconsistencies with the sun angles across all of the levels in the game, resulting in longer and more interesting shadows at noon throughout the game but especially at South Mountain.
• Resolved several animation issues tied to performing an action while at the double quick or charge speed such as aiming a revolver, entering right shoulder shift, stabbing with a bayonet and clubbing with the rifle butt that would result in a lot of tiny and very quick steps taken by the character.
• Fixed the revolver’s idle animation, causing it to dip down towards the waist of the character each time movement was initiated.
• Fixed officer haversack clipping through the baldric.
• Fixed the Sgt. Major NCO rank of the 14th TN not having an NCO sword.
• Added 1st VA cavalry, 2nd MD and 2nd WI infantry to the character customizer.
• Added double breasted frock coats as an option in the character customizer for all CSA officers.
• Made the text on the credits page white.
• Updated the terrain shader of the game, resulting in us being able to seamlessly blend between detail terrain textures and distance terrain textures without any of the distance terrain texture colours bleeding into the detail terrain textures. In short: more colour accurate textures up close.
• Updated the grass detail terrain texture.
• Fixed the normals of the herringbone and concrete sidewalks of Harpers Ferry to eliminate any ugly seams.
• Made the stone wall around the Mumma graveyard slightly slimmer so that it is consistently vaultable.
• Added a new opened variation to the North Carolina Sack Coat and updated the skinning of the NC sack coat.
• Fixed undershirts clipping with the open jackets.
• Standing in close proximity to the muzzle or on top of the barrel of a cannon while it fires will now cause a knockdown and damage to your health.
• Added several new settings in the gameplay options menu related to the in-game HUD such as always-on player names, text chat and compass/morale states. Also added a chat message display timer setting to prolong/shorten the duration that the chat is shown.
• Overhauled the quartermaster wagon models of the game.
• Added the following flags: 89th New York National Colors, 30th Ohio Infantry National Colors, and 1st Virginia Cavalry standard. The 1st Virginia cavalry flag is based upon a September 1862-dated eye-witness sketch by Alfred R. Waud. The sketch is now held by the Library of Congress.The 6th Wisconsin National colors have been revised to more closely match the surviving artifact, with thanks to the archivists of the Wisconsin Veterans Museum for their kind assistance.

Hello everyone,

Update 192 Patch Notes

• Further optimized the game code, this time focusing on instancing the character attachments such as hats and bayonets as well as improved the river renderer efficiency, resulting in upwards of 30% performance improvements at isolated moments in the game such as when looking at the Shenandoah and Potomac rivers of Harpers Ferry.
• Recapturing the point in skirmishes while overtime and counter attack is active should no longer result in a faulty end of the game round.
• Added 4 new customizable units to the game: 1st and 2nd US Sharpshooters, 1st North Carolina Sharpshooters and 1st Virginia Battalion. These will now also be available at random in the Conquest, Contention and Picket Patrol game modes.
• Fixed the artillery round smoke trails sometimes appearing to be wildly zig-zagging.
• Fixed the 1st person camera jolts when returning to shoulder arms.
• Tweaked the sunset lighting and sky colour for a more realistic look.

Hello everyone,

Update 191 Patch Notes

• Optimized the CPU usage of the game by a considerable amount:
• Benchmark results in update 190: 84 FPS
• Benchmark results in update 191: 105 FPS
• Overhauled all of the hair and facial hairstyles in the game for much improved details up close.

• Disconnecting from the server while carrying a flag will now drop the flag at your last position.
• Artillery rounds will now be dropped on the ground when artillerists are killed or disconnected while carrying one.

• Knockdowns caused by artillery rounds now result in varying lengths of recovery: the closer to the round going off you are, the longer duration the resulting knockdown will last.
• Knockdowns now cause suppression at a varying degree.
• Small caliber rounds such as pistol rounds and the buckshot pellets in buck and ball loads are no longer lethal at extreme ranges. Instead, they are lethal up to a distance of roughly 40 yards and will then gradually lose the damage caused per additional yard traveled. The ball contained in buck and ball loads remains lethal (however inaccurate) at long range.
• Implemented a potential fix for some of the instances where a user’s level would be falsely shown as 1.
• Fixed the wobbling soldier animation issue.
• Fixed a glitch caused by picking up a dropped flag while reloading your musket resulting in a ghost flag spawn point on the terrain.
• Added the remaining missing weapon images to the class selection and deployment UI menus.
• Added support for more letters and symbols in the game chat and name tags.
• Optimized the main menu of the game.
• Added an additional grass type to the game.
• Updated the lingering smoke particle effect and increased its visibility and lifetime for added immersion on the battlefields.
• Updated the bullet trail, bullet water impacts and artillery round trail particle effects.
• Updates to the R. Miller Tenant house model.
• Fixed the broken texture on twigs.
• Updated the Mumma graveyard stonewall model.
• Several minor fixes to Pry grist mill, Piper barn, R. Miller spring house and Pry barn models.
• Updated the model of the Sherrick summer kitchen.
• Hand fixes for various artillery animations.
• Updates to the visuals of the rainy weather environment: the terrain will now darken much more realistically as it gets wet.
• Darkened the name tags of the players that are not within your company to easier be able to tell them apart at a glance. This setting can be disabled in the gameplay options menu.
• Coloured the name tags of your Steam friends green in order to be able to easily meet up in-game. We suspect this addition is going to be useful for new players in particular who will now have the chance to be green in more ways than one! This setting can be disabled in the gameplay options menu.

Hello everyone,

Update 190 Patch Notes

• Crowdfunding backer names are now shown within the credits section of the main menu.
• Added a “Join Battle” button to the main menu for an easy way to join the most populated server with open slots (locked servers and drill camp mode excluded) without having to enter the server browser.
• Updated the in-game player name tags to a new font in order to resolve an issue that would result in flickering name tags.
• Updated the saved battle reports to be using the recently added automated overview maps.
• General UI cleanup passes in the various menus of the game, resulting in less unsupported characters being present.
• Added a preview image of the battle flag tied to the selected regiment/company when selecting the flag bearer of said unit in the regimental/class selection menu.
• The text chat now supports more characters.
• Fixed the overtime mechanic to match its old, intended, setup. This means that a complete recapture of the point by the team trying to stop overtime is no longer required in order to cancel it. Instead, a short amount of time with the majority of players on the point will be enough to stop it. This in effect, means that overtime as a mechanic will be harder to game as the risk of it getting stopped is considerably greater now.
• Artillery has gotten a much needed polish pass, resulting in:
  • The added ability of being able to move the trail spike while the piece is moved forwards or backwards. This should greatly help in the overall control of the pieces during movement as you can now reliably steer them using the trail spike (or the pole for the limber).
  • Fixed elevation screw seat camera behavior glitching out when someone is moving the trail spike at the same time.
  • Fixed the elevation screw becoming off-center of the rest of the geometry of the cannon whenever the trail spike is picked up.
  • It is now possible to freelook during the sponging/ramming and insertion of rounds.
  • Carried artillery rounds are now shown in first person as a visual reminder of which round type you are carrying and why you cannot sprint.
  • Holding the sprint key (shift) when carrying a round while at the quicktime movement speed will now put you into double quick instead of doing nothing.
  • Artillery pieces now ignore the shot up fence posts in the ground when pushed for easier navigation across destroyed fence lines.
• Fixed the long-standing issues with the rifle behavior in third person during the reload animations that would cause it to jitter.
• Improved the first person fix bayonet animation.
• Added new flags: 20th New York Infantry National and Regimental colors; 52nd New York Infantry National and Regimental colors: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25965595/930a081c442db464325d8c086917879256247d1b.png
  • Photographic evidence shown above reveals that during the Maryland Campaign, the national flag of the 20th New York Infantry featured a luminary pattern sewn on the canton and the regimental flag was a painted contract flag. For some years, the regimental flag of the "Turner Rifles" has been represented in War of Rights and other Civil War games and mods as yellow silk. Not only did we find no evidence of this regiment bearing a yellow flag, but all surviving contract flags in the New York State Military Museum are blue.
  {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25965595/f35573e1e8bb52b8fe6040116cd0f8dc783f0dde.png
  • The 52nd New York Infantry’s new national flag replaces a generic placeholder texture. The updated texture is the same historical pattern as the placeholder, however the new texture features an embroidered unit designation matching the regimental flag. The new regimental flag replaces the last of a number of community-provided textures in our collection of flags. This new texture is fully embroidered to match the still extant artifact shown above. This new regimental flag also differs from the old texture in that it features no battle honors, as originally presented to the “Sigel Rifles” and as carried during the Maryland Campaign (all of the regiment's battle honors, which include Antietam, were applied after the campaign). Lastly, the dimensions of the flag more closely match the artifact.
  • We owe special thanks to the assistant curator and staff of the New York State Military Museum for their assistance in researching and recreating these flags. For the last four months, the conservators of these treasured artifacts have patiently endured countless phone calls and emails, supplied us images of these and other artifacts, and provided helpful feedback over several drafts of the textures.
• Reworked several of the barn roofs to feature wooden shingles, a far more likely, and often documented, roofing material used in the era than metal sheets.
• Added randomized splash screens to the game.
• Added more Steam achievements.
• Possible fix for the weapon locking up when getting knocked down while reloading it.

Hello everyone,

New Game Mode: Contention

Update 186 Patch Notes

• Added Contention, a new WIP game mode to the game.
• Removed a ton of unused features from both the client and server, simplifying the code and improving performance.

It offers a quick way of demoting and muting a player, rather than having to look the player up in the tabview.
