Greetings, Commanders!
A new patch for Men of War II just went live - as usual, this means a short downtime for multi-player servers (no longer than 20-30 minutes); but all single-player campaigns remain available in the meantime. The update focuses on fixing various bugs you've reported, and the full changelog is available below. But before we get to that, we want to give you the option to get much more involved in the decisions that will directly impact the game's future. That's why we would like to ask you to come to the Men of War II Official Discord server and...
Vote on the future game mode in Classic PVP Match-Making!
We have set up a poll on the Discord server, where you can vote whether to keep the current game mode (Front Line) in Classic PVP Match-Making, or change it to Assault Zones, a mode familiar to fans of previous Men of War games, so that the gameplay experience is even more "Classic". We will abide by your decision, so please, make sure you cast your vote - the poll will be open for 7 days, and if the winning option is to change the game mode, we will implement it in our next update, planned for next week.
We love receiving feedback from our community, and we hope votes like this will make it more convenient for even more of you to take part in forming the future of Men of War II. That does not mean we will stop reading the comments here, the Steam Discussions, or the various chats and forums on the Men of War II Official Discord Server. Please keep reporting any problems or issues and sharing your suggestions there. And if you already like the game, consider writing a review here on Steam to support the developers!
Full Changelog
General Fixes and Improvements
- Fixed an issue where noise markers from enemy artillery (flashes indicating approximate artillery positions hidden by the fog of war on the map) would disappear too quickly.
- Vertical synchronization (VSync) is now enabled by default in the game's graphics settings. The option to remove FPS limits was causing interface slowdowns on some PCs. We are looking into more permanent solutions for future patches.
