new update, no information

[Belle of the ball]

So, me and a bunch of friends I play with have been getting a lot of updates for the game, but no information what the updates are actually doing.
No notification that there would even be an update, no information on what's being updated.

This is getting frustrating pretty quickly as we all have stuff we do and don't want to wait for all these random updates that offer no information of said updates just to play and have fun.
Is there something we're missing?

https://www.foxholegame.com/ doesn't seem to be. Looking at my Downloads log there was a 1.2 MB patch at like 10 pm my time. Guessing that's some kind of minor bug fix but you're right that are no notes.

maybe you dont have the game and are just a lobbyst

right, cause I would be here if i didn't have the game.
Instead of trying to discredit me, perhaps you could offer insightful views?

I tried re installing, it didnt help.
All i wanna know is why are they releasing small update patches without even telling us what's being updated?

I dont wanna say it's anti consumer, but it borders on being such.
Cause if its not update patching, what is it?

I heard they were buffing the fire range, spread, and damage. However that could be just a meme because it's really game breaking and not fun. I keep getting these micro updates on my Steam as well. Have no idea. Steam is the platform they run the game from, should be where the community update vs their discord. Not everyone is part of their little discord channel.

I'm just as confused as you and it's really annoying when it has to check the entire game to update a small portion. Maybe it's an anti-cheat measure. I have witnessed a lot of soliders running around twice as fast lately. Literally runs into enemy lines with a single dude, out runs everyone shots, and knives everyone. So there is a cheating problem running amuk at moment. Maybe it has to do with that? All we can do is speculate unless they provide reason otherwise.

patch notes are typically posted in their discord and in their posts on the website, check here

I had another one today. Err just now when I opened Steam. The way I see it is Steam is where the community is, where people actually purchase the game not discord. They should be updating the platform where the community resides. Not their private discord or website. I don't even think you can purchase the game on discord or their website. Just Steam from what I know.

To not update the community on all these daily patches on Steam is showing a lot of face. So speculation can arise to whatever the community makes up the patches are for. Rumor mill isn't usually a good thing. They just want to force traffic to their discord/website which most people frown upon because developers power trip in the gaming community. Developer ran communities never work out unless you shillWhiteKnight for the game 100% thus I never join developer websites or discords much.

Even for Foxhole discord I tried and day one they were removing my posts for no good reason thus I left it immediately. I was posting in the LFG/Clans area stating I was new and looking for a clan. Was removed and told only clan leaders can post there. Biased much and what difference does it make if I was an individual LFG vs a clan. This is my case and point on developer ran communities. Never work out and Foxholes discord proved my point last week. Thus I only remain here and want the news conveyed here. Or we are just going to make stuff up and run the rumor mill about what we think is going on. That isn't good.

They're also probably abusing the fact that bayonetting with just a rifle in your inventory makes you sonic the hedgehog and is honestly kind of really easily abusable, esp with how hard the servers have been lagging lately.

Surprised people haven't gotten bayonetting nerfed yet because I've been hopping on and doing just that on some fronts and clearing trenches of 4-6 people each time, it's ridiculous how ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ easy it is if you just don't take any ammo or just load a single mag/clip (for the bolt actions) into your gun and just take a bayonet. It's also not fun on the receiving end, especially because of the lag.

it must be fun to bayonet and nothing else
i must try a day later maybe

It's kind of boring and only works out if you can get in close, it won't work everywhere but if you can get in enemies trenches and just sprint around spamming left click it's GG.

mention i reached to riotgun spree peoples in trench by crouching in a mini trench corner
very ineficient

If they DON'T have flamethrowers it's basically free kills because you can get basically right up on them and it won't let them shoot you, it's kind of busted.

not related to the OP but since i saw it brought up in the discussion,
you can tell whether someone owns the game or not by the mouse symbol next to their name, it tells you they own the game when you hover over it.

There was a lot of buffering when entering the Fort Duncan war area.

I agree they could make better use of the update feed on Steam, I had to go look on Discord for the patch notes. And indeed it's getting annoying, at least the 3rd download in 2 days and yes it checks the whole 14Gbs every time.
