Hi! We have finally uploaded the massive network solution we've been working on for months. In short it replaces the old code we had and utilizes the steam backend, which should now allow more than 99% of people to connect to each other. Before that people might have been stuck in different router setups that we hadn't predicted, but that should no longer occur. Minor bugs may have been introdu…
Hi everyone, Sorry we've been out of touch for so long, we've been hard at work rewriting a lot of the new network code to fix all the problems it introduced. As always with network, it's a bigger task than anticipated, and thus we've been getting more and more stressed without knowing what to tell you guys. We just released a new patch however, and this one should be vastly better than before.…

We've just released a major update to Forced - version 1.1. The most significant component of this new update is a completely new network solution, that we have been working on for the last months.

Hi everyone, Today we’ve got patch 1.08 for all of you, which brings a better version of the 1.07 controller fix along with some other improvements for Steam Big Picture users.

We’re working on it and hope to update it within a day or so. Lastly we want to m…

We still havn’t been able to fix pings for all, but this should help…
Hi there! You might have noticed a little patch and a really hasty second patch this morning. That was just us trying to rework the entire matchmaking structure (hey what could go wrong), then failing, pulling our hair and reverting to a (more) stable build. We'll try again later with some more testing, and hopefully that will help with the current server list issues. Virtual Regards, Kristian…
Hey everyone, the servers are now up. Thanks for waiting, now the experience should go much smoother as the community expands. Remember we would still love to hear from you regarding any issues you find :)
Hi everyone, FORCED is currently receiving a lot more attention than we had initially expected, and we're afraid our servers might not be up for the task, so we're trying to upgrade our capacity to pre-empt any problems. Unfortunately, this means the network might be down for some time, but we're expecting it to be running smoothly in a few hours. Singleplayer will still be available of course,…
