Hello completionists! There has been a very very small patch pushed up today which fixes issues that were stopping people from completing achievements. The first time you start a new match now it will read your player stats, and update any pending achievements. Enjoy, GLHF, Gozu ːsteamhappyː
Hi Guys! There has been some talk recently on the forums in regards to the controller settings, with a little bit of confusion around what they do. I decided to do a little write up here and explain some of the options for anyone that is new to Protonwar, so that you can customise the game a bit more for an enjoyable experience! MOVEMENT MODES First off, when you start the game you get a choice…
Hi Team, Have just released a small patch to address and improve a few things in the game :) Weapon tracing on Assault, Sniper, LG (Hitscan weapons) has been improved to be better for beginners, making it a bit easier to hit people. Assault speed increased and damage tweaks. Trace has also been made more visible. Grenade explosion radius increased. Improved collisions in most maps, and some vis…
Hello future fraggers, It has come to my attention that there are some potential performance issues if running SteamVR apps while using an Oculus with the current version of SteamVR. This is not something that should affect you in Protonwar due to it using the oculus SDK, but if you are attempting to run the game using the SteamVR mode and having issues please check the current options in Steam…

Learn your history! Why Protonwar?
When i was younger i always admired the team at Epic Games. What i saw in these games, what i played, the communities and friends that i made over the years is what has encouraged me to make my own games such as Protonwar! Check out this little youtube video on the history of Unreal Tournament! The History of Unreal Tournament :-)
Hey guys, First off, a big thank you to anyone that has supported Protonwar through early access and from release. Time has come to drop the price slightly, as i feel that it is only fair. It was a great pleasure to make the game, and to learn about what could be possible in a VR Arena FPS. The VR market has grown and changed tremendously over the last 5 years, and looks like it will continue t…
I dont think there is much more i need to say! Live your childhood dreams of becoming a true Jedi Master! With two new Melee weapons, a Proton Saber, and a Proto Saber. <3 -Gozu
Hey guys, I have uploaded a small patch that adds options to change teams, in the in game menu. You can either pick your team, or simply choose switch teams. When you switch teams you die and lose all your points, then respawn on the other team. There has been a discord channel set up here: with some people looking for games. I hope that you enjoy your VR Arena FPS experience! Thank you for you…

Protonwar soon to be leaving early access!
Hi Team! Just a small note to let you all know what is going on! I have been hard at work on cleaning up some remaining bugs, polishing, and optimizing everything in preparation for a 1.0 release. I have decided that it is time to take Protonwar out of early access, and if all goes to plan that will be happening in 2 weeks time. I will still be rolling out updates after 1.0, as i would still li…
More power ups have been added (be careful with the jump boots!!! :P) At the start of each match the server will pick a random powerup and spawn it at a random location! This should spice up the matches a bit. If anyone wants any more powerups, i will see about adding them to the game. :) Bugs bugs bugs! Lots fixed. There will be roughly one more patch before leaving early access about this tim…

Protonwar - 0.32 - Location Based Hit Damage
This week brings a couple of more changes to the core gameplay based on some of the community feedback (keep it coming!) The damage that your weapon deals is now based on where you hit the character, so those headshots are so much more important now! Here is the current setup; Headshot - 200% Arms and Legs - 50% Body - 100% This means that, for example a headshot will do 2x the normal damage, w…

I'll save on the large notes for this patch as it includes lots of backend fixes and bug fixes for all modes. You now spawn into the match, it will ask you to press fire to start. One of the players just has to pull the trigger, then the match will countdown and start. Main user facing fixes are improved HUD for all VR modes with better notifications, including timer notices for 5 minutes remai…
