miikee · Jun 16, 2017

We will be ready to update as soon as this release drops on 6/20/2017

We are excited to announce the first update for Rising Storm 2: Vietnam, patch 1.01, will be released on June 20th, next week! This patch is a Quality of Life update intended to make your game playing experience even better. Our thanks to many of you who have helped (and continue to help) track down and report issues to us.

The Work In Progress changelog is below (please keep in mind that this could change before release). For more information on what is coming in the future, check out the Roadmap on Trello, here: rs2vietnam.com/roadmap.

General Changes & Updates
Gameplay

Changed the way tiebreakers work on Territory mode - now the team which captures the most points will win in a tiebreaker situation, not the team with more points.

Made it vastly easier to pick up dropped weapons

Now by default, sprinting from prone will no longer return the player back to the prone stance when the player stops sprinting. You can change this setting in the gameplay options

Various tweaks to various weapons’ collision, correcting the distance to walls at which certain weapons ‘lower’

Reduced player movement speed while climbing ladders

Reduced friendly fire penalties for commanders

Increased the default pre-round delay from 10 seconds to 30. FYI, this will reset all servers to this new default time.

Various tweaks to the order in which some items are listed in the inventory

Tweaks to mouse sensitivity when using iron sights after adjusting slider values in settings

Maps

Removed one specific tree from the landing zone in An Lao Valley, per a request from reddit user SprayAndPlay. We agree with you, sir!

Added more solid cover to Objective A on Cu Chi

Improved the lighting inside Objective B on Compound

Extended artillery protection zones to cover the entirety of the US spawns on Hill 937

Art

Added a red tunnel preview mesh which displays during the cooldown following the destruction of a spawn tunnel

Improved the mesh for destroyed squad tunnel. Destroyed tunnels will very much look destroyed now

Improved the animations when sprinting with grenades to avoid ‘foot sliding’

Improved the third person animations for sprinting uphill with a sniper rifle equipped

Improved the saturation and readability of the overhead maps

Added an idle pose to the SVD when the magazine is empty, preventing the bolt handle from sliding forward incorrectly

Bullet decals now stay on objects and surfaces on all maps for longer across all graphics settings

GUI

The ‘After Action Report’ has been modified to show separate round end and match end slates. This makes it less confusing on which team exactly won

Enlarged the ‘Change Camera’ text on the spectator view

Audio

Updated the AK single fire sound to more closely match the full auto fire mode

Updated the sound of the Bird Dog recon plane

Improved the attenuation of grenade bounce sounds

Player Vote Kick System

Vote kicking is now default to Team-Only. This means that by default, servers will allow vote kicks only for members of your own team

Bug Fixes

The game client will no longer crash when shooting Cobra rockets at a manned Dshk
