Category: News ArchiveHits: 982
Rogue Factor and Focus Home Interactive released Necromunda: Underhive Wars back in September. Since then, the game has received a couple of sizable updates, with the latest one fixing a heap of bugs and issues and improving the AI, which in turn speeds up the action. Apart from that, we now know that the developers are already working on a new update that will supposedly add a new gang to the game.
The link above has the complete patch notes, and here are just the highlights:
WELCOME
Greetings, friends and fellow Necromunda: Underhive Wars players -
As always, we hope that this message finds you well.
It’s a huge pleasure for us to be back today with another major update, Patch 1.1.0.22, which comes with more than 100 new improvements and fixes to the game!
Together with the 150+ tickets already addressed by last month’s 1.1.0.0 Patch, this new update will continue to improve your experience with the game, and we’re certain that you’ll be able to feel its effects as you dive back into the Underhive!
Just like last time, we’ve got quite a lot to cover today, so let’s jump right in, shall we?
PATCH 1.1.0.22 SUMMARY
As with the previous patch, we have mostly been focusing on community feedback and reports, as well as our own internal QA tests, in order to identify the priority fixes to address in this new update. Here is a short summary of the 4 major pillars on which the Dev Team’s efforts were primarily concentrated for Patch 1.1.0.22:We have begun working on the much-requested AI Improvements, many of which have also improved the game’s pacing by significantly reducing the AI’s decision-making time in various circumstances. All in all, we’ve worked on making all AI-controlled fighters smarter and more aggressive throughout - an important undertaking which we’ll continue to iterate on in upcoming updates.
- AI Improvements (+Pacing)
- Fixing Crashes
- Fixing Soft-Blocks
- Fixing Bugs
Like before, we have also put a considerable amount of effort in order to remove game-breaking blockers, as well as continued to fix numerous crashes and bugs on all platforms.
Finally, this new patch also brings a host of various balancing and quality-of-life improvements, such as finally fixing the Invert X and Y options on both Gamepads and Mouse+Keyboard, as well as adding the video option to turn Motion Blur on/off - two elements that were requested by many community members.
As always, you can find the complete and comprehensive 1.1.0.22 Patch Notes at the end of this update post - these will provide you with a detailed list of the 100+ tickets that are included with this new update.
PATCH 1.1.0.22 RELEASE WINDOW
If you’re reading this message, the update should already be LIVE.
If your game is set to update automatically, you should now see version 1.1.0.22 in the lower corner of the Main Menu. Previous saves should be 100% compatible.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR NECROMUNDA: UNDERHIVE WARS?
With the 250+ fixes and improvements from 1.1.0.0 and 1.1.0.22 now fully deployed, we’re already turning our sights towards the next update (1.2), which is currently planned for December.
Our plan is to continue working on the AI front, while also continuing to monitor all community channels in order to gather and address your feedback.
We’ve also heard rumours - whispers of a new gang emerging from the shadows of the underhive, eager to claim territory and resources for their House. Unfortunately, none of the scouts we’ve sent out to gather intel have returned - and it seems the only bodies we could recover were strangely irradiated, leading to their quick disposal. Our investigation continues, with new “volunteers” being dispatched daily.
In the meantime, if you encounter any errors with this new version, please don’t hesitate to report them on our Steam or Focus Home Interactive Technical Forums - we continue to read everything with attention, and your community-driven tickets are always one of the main driving forces behind the title’s updates.
You can also consult our detailed Bug Reporting Guide if you would like to know how to join your logs and save files to your reports - these play a big part in helping us to quickly reproduce, isolate and fix bugs of all kinds.
THANK YOU!
As always, we would like to thank you very much for your time, patience, participation, continued support and feedback.
We sincerely hope that you’ve enjoyed reading today’s update, and we’re convinced that you’ll love all the improvements added to the game with the new patch. Speaking of which, the complete 1.1.0.22 patch notes now await you below.
With this, we wish you all a great day, and we’ll see you in the Underhive!
Best regards,
- The Rogue Factor Dev Team
