After a bug infested playtest period, the dedicated servers should now be working and the hitches caused by using melee should hopefully be gone. There have also been a heap of performance improvements thrown in along the way and the pump shotgun chamber time has been significantly increased.
With all the issues taken into account we have decided to give everyone an extra 4 days to try out the playtest.
From July 5th at 12PM AET until July 16th at 12PM AET:
- Dedicated servers and P2P are available 24/7
- Dedicated server events, community discussions, polls and LFG channels can be found via the Community Discord.
Everyone is welcome to Request Access and participate in any or all playtests. Please also Wishlist the game if you enjoy it or want to keep up to date on its progress, as this helps us a lot.
