The last thing, is that I do care for the game, if I didn't, I wouldn't take the time to be here complaining in the hopes of making it better. You shouldn't take complaints and disapointments as an offence, you are grownups, you should embrace the critiscism and improve yourself from it.

I'm not sure what you feel that we took offence there, I'm just trying to have some open communication. We can appreciate that you, and much of our player base is passionate, it means you truly care about the game, and that's amazing! I will however, do my best to shed light on things and provide context for what I feel are misunderstandings.

I feel like characterising anything that is in the game currently as 'Power-ranger costumes' is a bit overblown to be fair. I realise that the community wasn't exactly happy with some of the DLC content in this last update, but regardless of what you may think we are listening and there is thought and consideration put into these decisions, AND we are willing to look at suggestions from the community. I will however, do my best to shed light on things and provide context for what I feel are misunderstandings.

I'm more that willing and happy to hear you or anyone else's complaints and feedback, as long as it is constructive and doesn't involve name-calling or hyperbolic attacks.

oh man, that strafe change is going to be HUGE. i remember trying to get into really bad positions and getting really spooked when a commander tried to tow me along into really weird positions to have a strafe go up the length of a road.

Dear under-appreciated game devs, here is my Christmas wish list:

-I understand the game has baked lighting, but I'd love the see lights being able to be shot out in the name of stealth.

-When the sterling has no optics attached, remove the railing on top. I understand that this game has some fictional elements to make it juicy, but the sterling makes no sense to have that reiling up there because the bolt wouldn't be able to ♥♥♥♥ back. I'm not asking to remove optics from the sterling entirely, just when there aren't any equipped, that railing to go bye-bye. Just because it's a ww2 gun, it's kind of annoying for it to be there all the time.

-Add sex to the game. Now I know the community would tear your head off but this would cause a boom in sales and I think you should consider it. The hot key could be shift+alt+del+s+e+x

-The PPSh-41 for the insurgents would make me cream in my pants

-A ww2 dlc would make me cream in my pants. Ahem, day of infamy sandstorm

-A glazed donut

-Smoke grenades should work on some degree on helicopters.
"SIR THEY'RE COMIN' WHAT- I MEAN THE HELI IS COMING WHAT SHOULD WE DO SIR"

"I NEED A STICK, A STRING, A PIECE OF GUM, AND AN OBERSVOR

"OBSERVER READY SIR I'M THE GUY TALKING TO YOU SIR"

"OH RIGHT LMAO CALL SMOKE ARTILLERY BECAUSE THE HELI IS GAY FOR US'

'BRBRKRKKRRRR" (the helicopter firing)

"STATION, THIS IS SQUAD LEAD, I NEED SMOKE ARTILLERY ON THIS POSITION, CAN YOU ASSIST OVER"

"COPY THAT, SENDING SMOKE ARTILLERY"

*smoke fills the area*
*the helicopter ♥♥♥♥♥♥ off within the time it took to call in the smoke*
"Alright we can move now"

-Add british actors

Yup got totally ignored, great job there. Probably will never fix if dev keeping tone deaf like that.

What exactly is the trouble with supporting Linux? From what I read, I heard its as easy as clicking a switch to opt in to proton support with EAC.

I'm just kind of sad that we had the game working on Linux and then it stopped all of a sudden.

My understanding is that even if EAC supports Linux, Sandstorm does not, and that would take development time that we cannot currently spare.

it's works flawlessly with Proton, much better than Squad which already has EAC option enabled and performance issues.
In fact in words "linux support" there are no any meaning for word "support". Only thing you really should care about is not preventing it from running on Win32, which AC software does.

Hey, NWI!
I know you guys don't even care about what a random guy is talkin about. But, what about a crouching function? Have u fixed that? Cause i couldn't find any words about that new bug.
Can i crouch and stand up by pressing the same button (as i used to do all the time i've been playin the title) or just keep suffering, cause u have "MUCH smaller amount of testers" ?

P.s. Why don't u guys, NWI, expand amount of testers then? With a working feedback, ofc. to avoid lots of "nice words" to your address on release.

Of course we care, you're a player and part of our community. My point was just that the playerbase will always be larger than any pool of testers and so naturally there may be bugs that players encounter that we haven't seen in testing, and that isn't due to us not testing the game.

Could You please answer my question. Thanks.

Vertify integrity of game cache

Okay, I'm gonna try my luck here since we have a Dev on deck: Are there any plans to add the option to control the voice volume of the characters? In some moments, like when playing with a closed team of friends, I really think it would be cool to have the possibily to turn off at least the ally characters voices.

Other than that, good job so far!

Will this work on my Windows 7 machine again?

so again, and to quote you in the hotfix 2, some "issues" will be here to stay, when will you be truly transparent and say that your so called "improved AI" from update 1.11 is just you altering the value of 2 or 3 code lines instead of writing new codes to make bots more challenging is pure lazyness of your part?

So because you don’t see different behavior it’s not there? I see a lot of different behavior, bots jump into cover sometimes, they zigzag when being shot at, pathfinding has changed ...

When will you admit that what you said in the October's contest of using the winners ideas as inspiration for content was a lie?

When will you guys with no clue of gamedevelopment stop being entitled as hell? Making models, texturing, configure animations, sounds etc. isn’t done in hours. It takes time. It has to be tested.
Maybe try modding, then you will see, it doesn’t come out of thin air.

When will you playtest something before uploading it?

Well that’s gold, in one paragraph you bash them for pushing content, in the next you bash them because they didn’t test content long enough.
Reality: There will be bugs, always. Even after intensive testing. Question is more how long it takes to fix them with hotfixes.

When will you listen to your community and give what we want, instead of these fortnite skins made only for crashgrab and totally destroy the Insurgency theme of the game?

They did: The PMC is exactly what a majority was asking for, it got very good feedback. Have to agree with you on the futuristic Insurgent cosmetic, the helmet is off.
Map is dope though.

I wish I could refound my money from this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ developer.

See that’s where you fail with „... you should embrace criticism ...“, insulting people without much constructive feedback and knowledge isn’t smth people really like to embrace.

If they say that they will improve the AI, they should have take their time and really do something decent, we still have marksmans breaching rooms, couteratacks where bots just charge head on to you without seeking cover while they send an artilhery killing half of them in the process, and all that nonsense, and not just go on a few lines of code about accuracy and reaction times and change the values. About playtesting, i encountered most of the bugs people have been complaining in the very first match i've played after the update, so no, they'll never convince me that they playtest any of the updated. The new skins, if they were really transparent as they say, they would have seen the backlash about the Power Ranger insurgent costume, and then release a statement as they did when they tried to upload the chinese fortnite skin (this kind of behavior was spot on legit). Also they could had postponed the update to make things right. But no, we get anothr broken as hell update focused on microtransactions.

Thank you guy s !!!! you doing a great job with this game. Keep doing what you do.

Jeez this day s it must be really hard to be a game developer with all this hate and toxic behavior from some People.
Remember the CS days when you just played with some random people and had a good enjoying time.
Now the most games getting very competitive and with that the salty and toxic community came with it. It s everywhere in the gameworld now and it suck s

Insurgency is one of the games which you can start and have a good time and most the guy s you playing with are no morons who insulting you.
So thank s to NW and the good Playerbase here

I know you are a small developer, but I also see that you are trying to compete with those two "big dogs" of the shooting genre. This is why we chose playing your game in the first place, your playerbase are the ones tired of that same tactical ♥♥♥♥ those two are always plubishing, we spent our money on you because we wanted something new; refreshing. Look at your 2014's release, now that are real insurgents, not those guys with power-ranger costumes and golden AKs you guys decided to add. Also, the weapons each faction carry, we could really use oldschool weapons for both of them, bring back the ones you left behind from the first game, there is no need for more 6 SP weaponry, you bet that everyone would preffer seeing some WW2 and early coldwar guns for something like 3 or 2SP. Your community (me being part of it) could care less about cosmetics if they actually fitted the game theme. One more thing, look at the state of the backlash on those two big dogs I said early, they're destroying their games franchise for at least 5 years due to their greed with microtransactions. And you can look no further than your own comment section of the update announcement.

About the AI, is not only being tracked through the wall, is beeing single-taped with a headshot from a guy with an uzi from 50 meters away when I pass through a window, is beeing headshooted; killed through walls, and most of the time, some half of meter stone wall like the ones in Bab, the smoke grenades beeing totally useless since bots are just killing players like nothing is there, all these now recurrent annoyances witch became game killers for me, that never has been an issue before.

And then is the problem with optimization, I have a PC that is slightly under the recomended requirements, but still, I bearly have 40+ fps in any situation, even though I have the all grafffic settings on low, and spacially on maps such as Citatel, Bab and Gap, whenever I'm shot at by automatic fire my game goes to 15-20 fps, sometimes it even freezes.

The last thing, is that I do care for the game, if I didn't, I wouldn't take the time to be here complaining in the hopes of making it better. You shouldn't take complaints and disapointments as an offence, you are grownups, you should embrace the critiscism and improve yourself from it.

You really complaining about gameplay performance when you cant even properly run the game? Lmao, maybe you're getting shot in those 10-20 frames you're not getting

Yeah, because when I'm defending an objective inside a house, for exemple, I'm just sitting in one spot covering a door where there is no windows facing the direction of the attack, when all of a sudden a hailstorm of bullets comes through the wall killing me in the process

Great news on Linux!

I'm glad the Dev here commented on most people's critiques except for the removal of NVG Point Shooting. That's the only real issue that I have with this update.

Can I least hear an explanation as to why this was removed? Please explain to me how exactly to use a nightvision scope with NODs without needing to equip the Point Shooting Grip that worsens your gun's performance in every single regard. I'm not going to spend three supply on an NVG scope, two to four supply on NVGs and ANOTHER four supply on the Point Grip for a whopping 9-11 supply points not counting the weapon itself.

Also, as people have pointed out, this will also hinder all weapons that can't take the unrealistic Point Grip like handguns and AMRs.

Hey, dev-guys!
You're doing an amazing job! Skip the mimimi comments and know that your game is great! Thank you for the latest patch and all the effort and your acceptance of our feedback.
Keep it up muchachos!
