📢 PTE U13 - This <t:1668078000:F> 📢

Hi @everyone

We're happy to announce that we'll be starting the first U13 PTE tomorrow at <t:1668078000:F>

As mentioned in last week's Dev Brief, this update includes many new exciting features but also some big changes to existing backend systems that we are eager to test under load.

We would greatly appreciate anyone who is available to hop in and provide feedback, bug reports or to simply try out some of the new toys such as the flamethrowers, jeeps and new map. If this is your first time participating in a PTE check out #pte-update13 on information on how to be ready for when servers go live.

We'll update with specifics on the map rotation and duration closer to the time of servers going live.

In the interim please enjoy an early look at the changelog!

📢 U13 PTE #2 Will be held Thurs. 24th Nov. 11am GMT 📢

Hi @everyone

This second session will primarily be focused on testing reworked flamethrowers, molotovs, jeeps and the map Kharkov. For those not wishing to convert the GMT time of the PTE, it will start on <t:1669287600:F>.

U13 PTE map rotation will be as follows:

Kharkov (warfare)
Kharkov (offensive Soviet)
Foy (warfare day)
Kharkov (offensive Germany)

We would like everyone to please understand that this PTE comes at an earlier date in our development process than usual and as such certain content is very much in a work in progress state, requiring design tweaks or polish.

The status of the PTE servers will be shown by both an icon to the left of the channel #pte-server-status. (green for online/ red for offline(closed)) and messaging in the #pte-server-status channel.

EU Servers will be online for approximately 6 hours before switching to US Servers for an additional 6 hours so if you are available during that time frame please jump in and join us in testing.

For PTE vs Live Game User settings and Keybind notes please see the pinned message in the pte_info channel.

📢 Update 13 Hotfix Soon 📢

Hey @everyone,

With the release of U13, we are now working hard to squish some bugs that made it through to the patch. We are aiming to have a hotfix deployed as soon as possible.

Thank you all for sharing your experiences and for your patience as we look to sort out these issues ASAP.

long stag Dec 9, 2022, 3:33 PM

Thank you @everyone for continuing to submit feedback on your experience with Update 13. It has been incredibly valuable, and we are now in the process of actioning a hotfix which we’ll aim to get live next week.

Below is the priority list of bugs that are being addressed for the hotfix.

Garrison Bugs
Instances of Garrisons not being accessible to the wider team.
Another Garrison bug has also been affecting players spawning on Red Zone Garrisons.

Panzerschreck Bug
Steady aiming with the Panzerschreck currently causes it to disappear.

Achievement Issues
An achievement bug where players were unlocking the “Rollin’ In The Jeep.”

German Machine Guns Disappearing
A bug causing MGs to disappear whilst mounted and ADSing.

Kharkov Map Bugs & Collision Issues
Numerous environmental and structural elements across Kharkov appear to not have player or bullet collision, including St Mary’s Church. Some fences currently disappear when viewed from around 100m.

T-Pose Issues
Identified an issue with animations when using ammunition boxes causing players to T-pose.

Visual
Identified issues of missing textures within the Church, as well as visibly low-res snowy mud assets throughout Kharkov.

Invisible Flamethrowers
Instances of invisible flamethrowers in the German faction when in first-person.

“Your Team is Losing a Critical Sector!”
Incorrectly shown when the first capture point is attacked.

A series of other minor bugs are also in the works to be corrected in this hotfix.

Missing ToolTip on Jeep
We are aware of the tooltip for Jeeps missing from the map’s legend. A fix for this will be deployed in a future update.

Thank you for your continued support!
I will post a telegram here once a hotfix is ready to be deployed.

Hey @everyone,

We hope you all had a lovely Christmas and have had a great start to the New Year!

The team are now back at work, pressing on with big plans for 2023, which we’ll be able to tell you more about in a future dev brief 👀

Thank you for continuing to share your reports with me. Whilst a second hotfix is in the works to address some of the issues raised, I also wanted to share answers to some of the other questions being asked:

When will the 2023 roadmap land?
The roadmap for 2023 is continuing to be worked on whilst the team make their preparations for the year, and will be shared in #telegrams once it is ready to be announced!

Has Kursk been taken out of rotation on Console?
After identifying an issue where players may crash when loading into any map variant of Kursk in the latest hotfix, the team temporarily removed Kursk from console rotation to prevent players from running into any unnecessary crashes.

A fix for this, alongside some other known issues which came about with Update 13, are currently being worked on, and I’ll share more on that soon!

What’s up with the servers?
We are working with our server providers to investigate potential issues which may be affecting Console players as well as the South American community.

**Current Known Issues (Post Update 13) **
The team are also aware of other known issues including, but not limited to:

Potential Kursk crashes, with the map having been temporarily taken out of console rotation (please see above)

Instances of MGs disappearing when mounted

Disappearing Bipod

Instances of the Grenade and Loadout bugs still persist

Panzerschreck sights appearing differently

ADSing too quickly can prevent the Karabiner 98k from firing

Some helmets showing an incorrect texture

Continued LOD issues

General VOIP instability

Hotfix Preparations
Whilst there are other known issues not covered in this announcement, a full changelog will be shared here when the 2nd hotfix is ready to be deployed, so make sure to keep an eye out on the channel!

Hey @everyone,

We know you’ve all been eagerly waiting to get hands-on with our 2023 developer briefings, and that excitement and anticipation are shared by the team too - and for good reason! 👀

This year is set to be a big one for Hell Let Loose, and because of this, we’re taking the time to ensure we have everything in place, ready to be shared with you and the wider community.

This is taking a little longer than we expected, however, as soon as we are able to start rolling out our developer briefings again, I will let you all know!

**Where’s the feedback bot gone? 🤔 **
You may have noticed that the respective feedback channels no longer feature the voting system generated by the HLL Bot. We’re working to get this back up and running!

I’m still reading the feedback and making notes during this period, and hopefully, you’ll be able to start casting your votes again soon.

**100,000 Discord Members! 🎉 **
I also wanted to take the time to say a huge thank you to everyone here supporting Hell Let Loose. We are all incredibly grateful to have such a wonderful community, and it has been fantastic to see the Official Hell Let Loose Discord server recently reach over 100,000 members, with the r/HellLetLoose Subreddit not far behind!

We’re excited about the road ahead and are looking forward to being able to share more with you in the not-so-distant future.

Hey @everyone,

It was really great to meet so many of you in person at the FORMAT event last night! We’re always humbled and excited to hear from you. Now that we’re back in the office, it’s been wonderful to watch your videos and read all of your feedback while experiencing U14.

The new locomotion improvements and updates to the gameplay definitely seem to have everyone divided - and the debates and suggestions are well received!

While the team continues to track and review your reports, here’s a list of some of the top reported bugs known to the team:

Using ‘F’ and Map Canceling
While U14 was our initial introduction to the British Forces, it seems some bugs were also introduced that have limited some previous functionality, including the ability to complete an action while the map is open. We believe this to be the result of a fix submitted with U14 for preventing a particular exploit.

**[Console] Vote to Kick **
The new feature for console seems to be incorrectly requiring 29 players rather than 20 to successfully kick.

Server Browser Search Bar Bug
When typing in the server filter box under the Enlist browser, the search box appears to become deselected.

British AT gun has inverted controls
Unable to Move In-Game with Scoreboard Open
[Driel] Invisible wall underneath a bridge
[Driel] Default garrisons appear as USA table and USA radio chatter
British support flamethrower clips through backpack
[Console] Vote to Kick dialogue can be accidentally pressed when trying to crouch or jump
Players able to go under the ground when prone with a bipod deployed
Breathing while sprinting audio can be heard overlapping itself
[PS5] [El Alamein] Poor server performance

Please continue to report on your experience in #1097866142028152944 over the long weekend so the team are able to review this next week.

It’s been an exciting month, revealing the next iteration of the Hell Let Loose identity, alongside the launch of Update 14 - and we’re excited to share all that’s still to come this summer with you.

For now, we look forward to joining you on Driel and El Alamein this weekend!

Hey @everyone,

I wanted to share a short update with you all -

While it was our intention to deliver a Developer Briefing today, we will instead be taking some time to address the Update 15 trailer reveal, and offer further details about the new game mode releasing on July 18th.

As we work on this, please remember to be kind to all members of this community when sharing your thoughts and opinions.

⚠️ <@&893074788413759538> & <@&880338910541135912> ⚠️

After further discussion with our server providers, we will today be carrying out a test that aims to support server performance on Console.

This test will run from 1:30pm GMT+1 for 2-3 days and your feedback during this time will be integral.

We are testing a reduced game count across console servers that we are hopeful should result in better performance during peak hours. While you should not be impacted by this test, please note any unexpected changes in #1097866142028152944.

❕Test Results❕

I have set up a new channel for this test, #⚫-server-performance-test, and ask that you all share your server experience during the test period as either:

🤨 - The Same

💪 - Better

😟 - Worse

Console players will be able to see the test is running with the 🟢 icon as indicated in the channel name. Once the test has ended, the channel will be retired while we evaluate the results.

📢 Developer Briefing #190 - A New Plan For The Future 📢

Hey @everyone,

We would like to start off by saying thank you.

We understand that your trust is earned with actions - not just words.

We can today announce the following:

📝 Plans are being put together for more structured PTEs.

Players will be able to provide feedback after sessions that will be filtered into the development process. In order to ensure this process is effective, we’ll be rolling this out in stages, while building upon it.

📆 We’re working on ways to adjust our schedule to see what is possible to better accommodate fixes and patches in between larger updates.

🔎 We have increased our QA resources to better support both quality of life fixes and new content.

🛠 We’re structuring new ways to address gameplay changes that can take player feedback into consideration, prior to finalizing for release.

This process will also include the recent speed increase, and aims to be adopted for any future changes.

To read more about our plans, and to understand what issues have been fixed for the Update 14 patch, and what we plan to continue to work on, please visit: https://bit.ly/DevBrief190

I would also like to give a shout-out to our Moderators and Support team, who have been working tirelessly to ensure this server remains a safe space over what has undoubtedly been a tough few days for everyone close to Hell Let Loose - as well as to say thank you to everyone in the community who has communicated kindly and offered constructive feedback.

There is a lot of work to be done, but our plans are clear and we remain committed ico_HLLSalute

Hey @everyone,

Hope you're all having a good week! 🙂

I wanted to let everyone know that the Update 14 Patch will be going live this Thursday (22/06/2023) at <t:1687428000:t>. The full patch notes will also be posted on Thursday.

With lots of planning underway, I've been slow to answer DMs and pings, but please bear with me! I'll get onto them as soon as I can ico_HLLSalute

📢 Update 14 Patch Now Live 📢

Hey @everyone,

Patch notes should hopefully be up on Steam shortly, however, I'll post them in here for the timebeing and drop another message when they're up!

Improvements
We have made a 20% decrease to the overall acceleration speed as a part of our ongoing plan to refine player locomotion. This change should ease players into the max speed from standing and during sharp movement, making it feel less abrupt and more realistic.

We understand that tanks require some revisiting, and we are investigating how this can be done while minimizing the risk to the wider game mechanics, and ensuring players won’t be able to outrun heavy tanks.

HUD/UI
[Fixed] Incorrect experience awarded during post-match XP Screen.

A bug was introduced in U14 where the awarding of XP during a match could reset the amount of XP earned in the match, resulting in a lower amount of overall XP being awarded at the end. This has now been fixed.

[Fixed] The Server name filter box is deselected when the player is attempting to type in on the Enlist Screen menu.

For U14, we fixed some instances where you could not correctly navigate the UI if using a gamepad. It had the unintentional side effect of making this filter box hard to use when typing into it. This has been fixed so the UI works as expected with all input devices.

Audio
[Fixed] Breathing while sprinting audio overlapped itself.

It was found that two instances of the sprint breathing audio were playing at the same time; causing a noticeable doubling to occur. This has now been limited to one instance per player to prevent this from happening in future.

General Bug Fixes
[Fixed] In-game vehicle movement stopping when opening the scoreboard.

When adding the feature for vote to kick on console, and making sure that the UI worked correctly on gamepad, we made changes to ensure that the UI reacted correctly when receiving the prompt to vote to kick someone. However, this logic would clear player input whenever opening the scoreboard, stopping actions like being able to drive vehicles. This has been changed to only happen if the voting UI is active, fixing the issue.

[Fixed] Dive to Prone used to appear to move faster and avoid conflict.

We have modified and tweaked the Dive to Prone so that the player’s stance can't be changed until the dive to prone animation is completed.

[Fixed] Opening the map stops the player from performing multiple actions.

In U14, we fixed a dismantling exploit, however, this fix made any action also be stopped when opening the map. It has been changed so that it only dismantling will be stopped when opening the map, fixing the unintentional side effects of the previous change.

[Fixed] British weapons have increased sway when ADSing.

We have included some changes that should make using British weapons a closer experience to that of the other forces. Work still needs to be done to find the root issue causing these weapons to have increased sway.

[Fixed] British AT gun has inverted controls

This setup error has now been fixed.

[Fix Submitted] The "Lost Connection to Host" prompt appears after finishing a match whilst the map is open.

With the map open when finishing a match, the client was repeatedly sending the same message to the server over and over again, so fast that the server would disconnect the client for spamming. This has had a fix submitted so that only one message is sent.

Weapon Bug Fixes
[Fixed] British Weapons are not calibrated/zeroed correctly.

Issue improved, but work is still ongoing for some weapons (dropping at 100m)

Driel
[Fixed] [D4] Invisible collision encountered above the player's head under a bridge.

There were collision issues with the Landscape LOD that would block player bullets. The landscape “opening” that accommodates the bridge asset has been adjusted and further debris removed to prevent any collision issues.

Hey @everyone,

When the Update 14 Patch went live this morning, we received reports of some servers having not moved over to the latest version, and are missing from the Enlist screen.

Please bear with us as we work with our Game Server Providers to understand how we can bring these servers back online!

❕ Servers Back Online ❕

Me again 👋

Thank you, @everyone, for your patience! emoji_HLLove

Working with our Game Server Providers and partners, we have rolled out a fix that involved switching to a different version of the server exe file, but are still investigating the underlying cause.

All servers should be starting to come back online, however, if you experience particular performance issues, please share helpful information with the team in #1097866142028152944

❕ PC Server Performance Test❕

Hey @everyone,

We are continuing to investigate server performance, and as part of those investigations, have been running a test across certain PC servers that aim to understand whether a change made to server command lines has been able to reduce instances of rubber-banding, particularly when operating vehicles.

Initial results of the test seem positive, however, we're keen to ensure the below servers remain populated over the weekend so quality feedback can be provided on the experience.

While this test only tackles rubber-banding, we'll be continuing to investigate other potential issues impacting performance.

This will continue to be a priority for us, and I'm hoping to share more soon in terms of other steps we are taking as we revisit our original roadmap and lay out new plans for Hell Let Loose!

If you are playing and are able to support populating the following servers, this will greatly help the test, thank you.

📢 Developer Briefing #191 - Player Locomotion Changes, Bug Fixing, & Server Performance News 📢

Hey @everyone,

Thank you for continuing to bear with us in bringing you an update on our plans and roadmap!

I am pleased to announce that for the remainder of 2023, we will be focusing on attempting to address some of the major issues that have been raised by the community.

In doing so, our efforts to deliver the original 2023 roadmap will instead change focus to a slower speed of content delivery - bringing you more 100-player Warfare and Offensive maps, alongside existing planned cosmetic DLC, as we continue to work on resolving as many bugs as possible, and begin the planning for a longer-term future of Hell Let Loose alongside the community.

Today’s brief is a long one and aims to outline the steps we are now taking to address any recent concerns:

🏃‍♂️ Player Locomotion & Dive to Prone Changes
🛠 More Patches Over Updates - Patches 14.2 & 14.3
✏️ Plans for the British forces
🐛 Initial Bug Fixing List
📍 Planned PTEs - First one targeted for July 20th
🔎 Server Performance Investigation Results
💬 Reddit AMA - July 19th
👁 Planned Dev Podcast with RazBora & The Fresh Baked Goods

Hey @everyone,

It’s time to begin submitting your questions for the AMA!

So that we can look to tackle as many questions as we can, we’ll be inviting team members from across some of the different disciplines within the studio to prepare answers, which I’ll then be sharing on Reddit.

To ensure community members across different time zones can participate, this AMA will be open for 24 hours, aiming to provide answers by Friday.
While the AMA is open, we’ll use this time to collate all the facts we need to address your questions with as much information as possible.

Not around for the AMA? Don’t worry, we’ll post the questions and responses in a future dev brief so you’ll be able to catch up at a later date.

Thank you for supporting Hell Let Loose, and taking the time to ask your questions, make sure to keep an eye on your thread for Friday!

Upcoming PTE Session

The planned PTE session for 20/07 will be going ahead, and further details on how to participate will be announced later today!

Hey @everyone,

I'm pleased to announce that our new PTE set-up is ready for the upcoming PTE session, in <t:1689847200:R>.

How can I take part in this session?

We have now created some new channels where you can provide streamlined PTE feedback on content, features, bugs, and more!

To take part in PTE sessions, you will need to use the #pte-opt-in channel, complete the form and make sure to react to be given access to the new PTE category.

When you use this form, your Discord username will be shared with our Usability Team, who may contact you directly to discuss your experience in more detail. No other personal information will be captured and stored.

How do I submit feedback?

You will now be able to provide targeted feedback on your experience within a PTE, by using either the FEEDBACK FORM or BUG REPORTING form, available in the PTE Discord category that will become available once you have finished the above steps.
The form links will be posted shortly before the PTE goes live.

Although not for this particular PTE, we will also be looking to hold future Hell Let Live sessions for you to further share feedback!

How long will the PTE run for?

The PTE will be open from <t:1689847200:F>, and will finish <t:1689933600:F>.

What will this PTE include?

This PTE session aims to test some changes for the next game patch, Patch 14.2, and will help us determine a few things, including:

1). Movement Speed & Dive to Prone Preference

In this PTE, the player locomotion speed, as well as the dive to prone functionality have been adjusted to reflect the level they were prior to Update 14.

We want your feedback on the success of the removal of the speed change with the PTE, as well as your feedback on the speed in the current live game.

2). Grenade Bug Occurrences

A fix is being submitted within the PTE branch that the team is hopeful has tackled the grenade bug!

3). Loadout Bug Occurrences

With your input, alongside activating logging, we'll be looking to see if any instances of this particular bug occur and aim to learn more about how it happens.

Hey @everyone,

The PTE build should now be ready for you to download!

Don't forget, if you want to take part, please follow the steps in #pte-opt-in ico_HLLSalute

When you join the PTE build, your settings from the main game will not carry over, so you may want to take some time adjusting these before you join a server in ~20 minutes.

The feedback and bug reporting forms will go live once the servers begin to populate. For more information on what we're looking to test, please read the above telegram, or if you have the PTE role, please visit #1129341603253850112!

❕ PTE Extension & Reddit AMA Answers❕

Hey @everyone,

Thank you to those who have already taken part in the PTE and shared your feedback!

While the PTE announcement went live here yesterday, we’re keen to action on your initial feedback around the timings of this first PTE session, and will now be extending it over the weekend.

We want to make sure that we can be flexible and adapt where necessary so that you can share your thoughts and feedback on the player speed within the PTE, as well as the speed in the live game, and hope that this extension will give you more time and freedom to take part.

For more information about what we’re looking to see, and for what’s already being reported, please read the Steam announcement for more details: https://bit.ly/WeekendPTE

Reddit AMA

Gosh, that was a LOT of questions! Thank you all so much for your patience and for allowing us the time to answer them. I'm starting to upload responses now, and while there are quite a few duplicate questions, I'll try to respond to what I can! I'm super keen to see how we can look at making this a live-type of event in the future when we're introducing new content, but don't forget, we'll be expanding on some of your questions in an upcoming dev podcast with RazBora and The Fresh Baked Goods 👀

If you don't want to dig through the answers (I don't blame you), I'll be pulling them all together to share in a dev brief next week!

❕ Patch 14.2 Releasing Today ❕

Hey @everyone,

Nice to see you on Saturday, I hope you all enjoyed the dev interview! WombatMedic

I'm pleased to announce that Patch 14.2 will be going live <t:1691413200:F> (<t:1691413200:R>)

This patch primarily removes the increased player locomotion added in U14.

🏃 Reduced player movement speed
🐬 Removed dive to prone
🐛 Grenade bug fix
✅ Server crash fix
emoji_Soon 14.3 PTE - 17th August

We're hearing your feedback, and it seems a large majority of the community wants to see dive to prone to return in a future update.

For this to happen, we would need to work on dive to prone with the slower movement speed, and polish it so it can't be exploited before it can be considered to be brought back to the live build in a future update 🙂

❗ Planned Hotfix - September 18th ❗

Hey @everyone,

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us while getting hands on with Patch 14.3, we’ve identified some issues that we would like to tackle in a hotfix that will land on PC on Monday, 18th of September, and for Console players on Thursday, 21st of September - due to a slightly different sign off process.

Loadout Bug

Since releasing Patch 14.3 yesterday, we have been reviewing the logging that was activated with this patch, and believe we have now finally identified the cause of the loadout bug - and are now preparing a fix - and will keep you updated on our progress!

VOIP Disconnect Fix

We also believe we may have a fix for the ongoing VOIP issue - the one that has been plaguing many players in Hell Let Loose, where you can often find yourself getting randomly disconnected and then being unable to reconnect.

Hotfix Changelog

The final changelog will be provided on Monday, however, we are now preparing fixes for:

Character previews scale incorrectly
Fix for tank driver seat FOV
Fix for Sherman doubled-up scope
Steam achievements bugged

Ultrawide Monitors

Players on ultrawide will have found that their FOV was incorrectly extending tank cockpits, rather than just the environment in view. Now having ultrawide compatibility, reducing FOV to 90 from 120 will correct this, however, a fix is being worked on that will ensure players will not need to change this value every time they enter a vehicle.

If you’ve also noticed a fish-eye effect across the game while using ultrawide, this may be due to having previously toggled maintaining Y axis for a better FOV. With the new ultrawide compatibility, you may now want to look at changing this setting so you are maintaining X axis, instead. This option can be found under your Video settings.

Hey @everyone,

Thank you for bearing with us while we take in the news shared earlier this week.

We wanted to confirm that the planned PTE session for Hell Let Loose will still be going ahead today <t:1696600800:F>, and will end on Monday the 9th, so you’ll have the weekend to provide feedback on some of the new night maps before they arrive in future patches, starting with Carentan and Sainte-Mère-Église, which will arrive in Patch 14.4, as well as vaulting and mantling improvements, the addition of an improved dive to prone, as well as help us identify any potential broader impact from the loadout bug fix.

However, we will now be moving back the planned release of Patch 14.4 to the 19th of October, a week later than originally planned.

This should not affect the planned release of part one of the British forces, which will arrive in Patch 14.5 in November.

This means that future public testing sessions will no longer be held on the weekend, and instead be condensed into a shorter time frame to encourage more 100-player lobbies.

Thank you to everyone who did join the PTE and provided feedback - we’ve taken a look at your responses, and have been able to make some adjustments prior to release. However, in order to get this patch out to you this month, we haven’t been able to address all feedback from the session at this stage - but it has prompted a much larger conversation around accessibility in Hell Let Loose.

TwitchCon Vegas

We'll also be at TwitchCon Vegas this weekend, where you’ll be able to head on over and play Hell Let Loose as part of a 100-player LAN, plus, we’ll be on the front page of Twitch from 5pm PDT - we hope to see you on the frontlines!

❗Servers Down ❗

Hey @everyone,

With Patch 14.4 now live, we're seeing your reports that some servers are either not showing, or are experiencing a 'Loading The Map' screen upon joining - this is currently being investigated!

Please bear with us while it is being looked into - I'll update you all as soon as I can ico_HLLSalute

Hey @everyone,

We’ve, unfortunately, been experiencing some issues with getting PC player servers back online after releasing Patch 14.4, and have been working with our partners to investigate why some servers are working, and others aren’t.

We believe the best thing to do here is rollback the patch, so you are able to get back into Hell Let Loose while we continue to investigate this.

Rolling back a patch has its risks, and this does, however, mean that anyone who has bought the new Luftwaffe DLC on PC will no longer be able to access it until we have completed our investigations and a new patch can be released.

This change will not affect Console players. We’re deeply sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you, and will endeavour to keep you as updated as possible while we continue to look into this.

📢 Update on Patch 14.4 📢

Hey @everyone,

We hope you’ve all been enjoying ~~Patch 14.4~~ Patch 14.3.

We wanted to make sure we could provide PC players an update on this, and can confirm that, today, we’ve been in talks with the various game server providers for Hell Let Loose and have been trialling a potential solution. However, to avoid as much disruption as possible, Patch 14.4 will not be re-released until we’re confident this solution has been effectively tested.

While this issue was unexpected, we’re already working on making sure this won’t happen again by collaborating with the GSPs to ensure certain tests and changes are carried out in a different environment before we then release a patch or update to you.

Nvidia Filters

Since posting the Patch 14.4 changelog yesterday, our contacts at Nvidia have since disabled the use of filters when playing Hell Let Loose, and while there are other factors to also take into consideration to improve fairness when playing night maps, it now means that players using the filter settings to improve their visibility on low-visibility intended maps, will no longer be able to use them. We will be exploring this matter further as we fine tune the experience.

Luftwaffe Eagles DLC

Those of you who have already purchased this DLC will regain access to it as soon as a new patch rolls out, however, we want to make sure everyone can play the game first and foremost, which is why our testing is still underway.

We’d also like to apologise for the confusion around this particular DLC.

Some players have mentioned the discrepancies between the Fallschirmjäger uniform shown in Developer Briefing #196, and the Luftwaffe Eagles DLC available in the Additional Content Hub.

Earlier this year, we endeavoured to keep our communication with you as transparent and authentic as possible, which included using Developer Briefings as a place to share our development progress, keeping you informed of new weapons, vehicles, tanks, forces, and maps, etc - where the assets that are shared are classed as work in progress. Because of this, it does mean that what is shared through these briefings won’t necessarily always be the final product upon release. Time constraints, design changes, and issues when testing the uniforms are just some things that can have an impact on the final outcome of a DLC.

The helmet shown in the Luftwaffe Eagles DLC artwork on the Additional Content Hub is the M38 Fallschirmjäger helmet, which already exists in the game and is unlocked through progression on Rifleman Level 8. This uniform has 8 slight variations - one for each of the infantry roles, two of which were shared in Developer Briefing #196.

Thank You

For now, we’d like to say a big thank you for your understanding and for bearing with us as we work to come to a solution, and will aim to provide a further update of progress no later than Monday, 23rd of October.

📢 Patch 14.4 Re-releasing <t:1698069600:f> 📢

Hey @everyone,

We hope you all had a lovely weekend!

Patch 14.4

Thank you all so much for your understanding and patience while we worked to determine the reason why only some servers were working when we first released the patch on Thursday last week.

We can now confirm Patch 14.4 will be re-released <t:1698069600:R> ico_HLLSalute

What went wrong?

There were three unexpected issues that we ran into - two that were only affecting GTX hosted community servers, and another where seemingly at random, some users would hang on a loading screen when joining a map.

Working with the game server providers, we determined that two of these issues were the result of the same root cause - a misconfiguration of servers, where there was a missing certificate on the server.

We also found that GTX hosted servers had a single missing command line parameter compared to all other GSPs. These issues have now all been rectified and confirmed to fix the issues across all GSPs.

How are we making sure this can be avoided in the future?

As part of resolving these issues, we have since agreed with the GSPs to ensure certain tests and changes are carried out on a GSP Steam testing branch prior to releasing a patch or update to you.

In case you missed it the first time, you can access the full changelog for Patch 14.4 here: https://bit.ly/Patch-14-4-Release

Luftwaffe Eagles

The Luftwaffe Eagles DLC will be reactivated with Patch 14.4, and those who have already purchased the DLC will once again be able to re-access it in the game.

Nvidia Game Filters

Nvidia filters have been disabled on Hell Let Loose in response to consistent community feedback around the use of the filters to negate the intended darkness of night maps and have a better advantage against other players.

What does this mean?

We mentioned on Friday that there are still other factors to take into consideration to improve fairness when playing on night maps, however, players using these filters to gain an advantage will no longer be able to use them.

What doesn’t this mean?

We understand that there are some players in the competitive community who utilise these filters, and others who do not. We wanted to make it clear that this move does not mean that we aren’t looking to support the competitive scene.

While Hell Let Loose is not geared towards being a competitive title, we are enamoured to have such wonderful communities organising tournaments and events - having been growing their very own competitive scene.

In our Developer Interview and AMA earlier in the summer, we mentioned wanting to start looking at both feature improvements such as the in-game admin cam that players use to capture and cast tournament footage, as well as re-evaluate where and how we showcase and support competitive activity.

We are in the process of scoping admin cam improvements to a future update, and are working on plans to better formalise teams and tournaments, so that we can put together a schedule that highlights the amazing work these communities are doing, and I will be reaching out to community leaders directly as part of this and inviting them to a separate Discord server where they will be able to help guide these conversations.

Player Support News

As of tomorrow, we will be retiring the #1097866142028152944 channel in favour of directing all new bug reports to https://team17.helpshift.com/hc/en/5-hell-let-loose/ where you will be able to find new troubleshooting resources and still get one to one support to help you resolve issues and report bugs. You can also continue to use the Report a Problem section on Steam.

Thank you!

Hey @everyone,

Due to the changes announced at Team17 earlier in October, I can confirm that today is my last day supporting Hell Let Loose.

The last 12 months have had its ups and downs, but one thing has always remained constant - this community’s passion. There isn’t another community like you, and it’s been an absolute pleasure to work and play alongside you.

I’d like to say a massive thank you to our Moderators, who have put so much time and energy into supporting the Hell Let Loose Discord and Subreddit, making them a safer and more enjoyable space for everyone. They have done a phenomenal job and I couldn’t have asked for a better team of mods.

To our War Correspondents, it has been an absolute pleasure getting to know you all - catching up on your content each morning has always given me something to look forward to, and as someone who has gone from watching your videos and streams to later becoming your Community Manager and advocate, I have, and always will, continue to admire your dedication to creating Hell Let Loose content.

And to you, the Hell Let Loose community, thank you for making me feel welcome as your Community Manager. There are so many of you now, and I have been so grateful to work with you to try and advocate for your great ideas and keep you as informed as possible through regular Developer Briefings and Telegrams. I will always remember your kindness, support, and generosity.

Thank You.

I know we’ll meet again some sunny day, but until then, if you’d like to stay in touch and jump into a few games with me, you can find my socials in my bio.

I’ll see you all on the frontline ico_HLLSalute

*Howdy, I’m maximvh1, most of you probably have seen me around. In case we haven't chatted before or played together, I just wanted to give a little tl;dr about me so I’m not just a yellow name with a Spy Kids 3 profile picture.

I’m in IT & trying to wrap-up a business-management degree (I swear it’s cooler than it sounds). In my free time, I tinker on cars, do some very amateur astronomy, and obviously game.. as well as being an avid nap-enjoyer. I’ve been playing HLL for a little over 3 years now, so I’m happy to help answer some questions because I definitely appreciated the community helping me when I first started playing. Thanks for the welcome, feel free to say hi if you see me running through the streets of Carentan, or of course, just chatting away in discord 🙂 *

🌳 Mortain Map Deepdive Video

Hey @everyone

Let's take a look at Mortain ahead of tomorrow's U15 release!

Update 15 deploys a fresh experience to Hell Let Loose with Mortain, a new map for all modes! Created and refined with help from the community, Mortain sits in a shallow valley – where the US rallied against German troops amid Operation Lüttich. The battle took place in August 1944, in Normandy, France.

During Operation Lüttich the town was destroyed, left in ruins with only a few buildings standing – which features in Mortain.

Offering a plethora of notable locations – both historical and natural – Mortain features themes of contrasting areas throughout. Rock formations permeate the map alongside hilly areas of countryside and farmland.

Update 15 releases April 25th for Hell Let Loose on Steam, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.

Addressing Update 15.1 Feedback

Hello @everyone

Thank you for providing useful, actionable feedback on Update 15.1.

This update didn’t meet our expectations and surfaced issues that we’re actively working on addressing.

Despite our best efforts, we don’t always get things right. But we’re learning from these situations and listening to your feedback.

The Mortain: Operation Lüttich Units DLC reaction has not gone unnoticed – we’re looking into it and will update you when we have more definitive information to share.

Community sentiment is not ignored, we hear your concerns – and want to assure you that we are committed to Hell Let Loose and this passionate community with plans extending far beyond this year.

We have incredibly passionate WW2 enthusiasts working on Hell Let Loose; a small team of developers who love the game with the determination to create the best experience possible. We’re continuing to collect mountains of feedback and going through it all with a fine-tooth comb.

We have a lot to work on; a lot to get right. But please bear with us as we do our best to ensure Hell Let Loose is headed in the right direction.

We really appreciate your support and the constructive feedback you provide.

We’re aiming to release a hotfix for 15.1 next week. Please stay tuned for more information. Thank you!

Hello @everyone

Update 15.2 will be live on all platforms <t:1724839200:F>. The full changelog will be posted tomorrow.

We just wanted to remind everyone that this is not a finished build of the map.
You may encounter some placeholder assets/areas that do not look completely finalised. This is still work in progress but should give you a good idea of how the final map will look and feel.

Not all new uniforms are added or finalised.
Some building interiors not being complete.
Areas of the map missing clutter.

@everyone

There are some bugs that we have noticed since the launch of Update 17 that we're aiming to address as part of a hotfix as soon as possible:

Ability to abuse the ping system:

Players are able to ping walls to have a good idea of where players are going to be as they get XP for it - This should not be shown LIVE and should only be granted at the end of the match to make sure this can't be abused.
The XP granted for a successful ping should also be on a cooldown meaning it can't be abused

Admin camera keybinds

Some of the new keybinds are missing from the menu meaning that players can not add the new features to a bind without resetting their controls

Please do keep reporting any issues into the https://discord.com/channels/316459644476456962/1356935055968043088 channel, so that the devs can get visibility on any other bugs or suggestions ico_HLLSalute

❗ Hotfix Update - In Progress @everyone

We wanted to update you all that a hotfix is currently in progress, with several issues already identified thanks to the valuable feedback from our community. We will are targeting a release of this hotfix update early next week and will keep you all notified when it is ready to drop.
Below are some key fixes and improvements that are incoming:

XP Bug Fixes:

We have noticed that a lot of people reported that Support Effectiveness XP is immediately granted to users who ping enemy locations, allowing them to confirm locations via the scoreboard. To combat this, we are doing the following:
Rewarding player XP and scores for accurate marks or pings on the tac-map has been disabled.
XP and scores for accurate markers or pings are only rewarded to the player upon: the players death, the player leaving the server or the match ending.

Bug Fixes

[A6] Players could see beneath the map and fall through in sector A6 of Tobruk.
Damage indicator remained permanently on screen after redeploying.

Admin Camera Fixes

Missing keybinds for Admin Camera in the keybindings menu.
The R key still has no functionality when unlocked from a target, but that button prompt has been removed. When locked to a target it still has the original functionality of Toggling locked rotation

#

Environment Fixes Across Tobruk

[I6] Unnecessary fence removed.
[J5] Certain area looked too symmetrical.
[D8] Road spline texture visibly splitting.
[A8] Disconnected power cable pole.
[I7] Unnatural ridge without landscape painting.
[I7] Fallen electrical pole clipping with environment.
[I3] Floating assets covered by terrain layer.
[I3] Crates partially blocking tent entrance.
[J3] Poor fence blending at top British HQ.
[F8] Broken blue door fallen out of a green door frame.
[F8] Terrain covering a house foundation.
[D8] Missing pavement poly face at the sea wall.
[B4] See-through cliff terrain in sector B4.
[C7] Misaligned terrain inside a mud pile.
[I5] Rocks missing player collision.
[B4] Guard Room strongpoint missing on the tactical map.
Intense shadows on windows and doors in multiple locations.
[H3] Misaligned terrain in sector H3.
[D5] Misaligned house with the ground in sector D5.
[F8] Clipping through walls in Admiralty House.
[E6] [E7] Boxes missing player collision.

Other Fixes

Field Manual – Tobruk entry partially obscured in the Locations tab.
DAK Panzerdivision & Afrikakorps Tropenfeldbluse – Stretched arm textures.
Purple Heart Lane Map – Rare lightning strikes.

Improvements

You may also notice an improvement to the interiors across Tobruk as well, courtesy of our art department

As a reminder, this Objective gamemode is something that is in a very early stage of development. Work on this mode has not come at the expense of the 2025 roadmap. Since the direction was pivoted back in 2023 these maps have had only one person working on the prototypes.

The aim of the PTE is to gauge community interest in the mechanics and setups of the maps presented in these modes. We are particularly keen to hear your thoughts on:
-A 25 v 25 environment
-The map sizes

@everyone Server Stability Update 🛠️

We recognise that since the release of 17.1, some players have experienced increased server issues. We’ve been working hard to resolve these problems and want to thank everyone who’s shared detailed feedback. It’s been invaluable in helping us track down the root cause.

We believe we’ve identified the area responsible for servers intermittently stopping and are deploying a server-side-only fix now.
This update does not require a new client build or a game restart.

Please continue to let us know how server stability feels for you after this update. Your feedback has been crucial so far. ico_HLLSalute

But we've seen some people excited to test out the early work-in-progress tank changes. Whilst we love the enthusiasm, we want to make sure that everyone's aware the tank physics inside the practice range and explore modes are not representative of those in normal servers - in fact they're drastically different.

We would recommend using the playtest servers provided to test the early work-in-progress changes ico_HLLSalute

We know this announcement will spark excitement for many as the franchise expands into a new conflict. For others, this news may also raise concerns about the future of Hell Let Loose.

Rest assured, the introduction of Hell Let Loose: Vietnam does not affect our ongoing development of Hell Let Loose. Team17 remains fully committed to the franchise.

Armor Rework - Update 18 Testing Notice

Thank you <@&1400831764448149534> players who are already jumping in and testing everything in Update 18 out so far!
We've noticed a few people reporting issues with tanks 'clipping' or getting stuck. If these are happening on live servers please let us know in #1425053075047055470 however we wanted to remind people that tanks act way more erratically in the practice range & map explorer currently.

For context, the practice range & map explorer behave differently to a normal dedicated server/HLL match. This is because we use a listen server on practice/explore which are the player's client rather than a live environment.

TLDR: Tanks will behave differently in offline modes (practice range & map explorer) vs live servers

Hotfix Update - Ongoing AWS Outage Issues
Due to the outage caused by AWS, Epic's backend is still down not allowing us to roll out the hotfix. We also still do not have an ETA given to us from Epic as to when this will be resolved making it look less and less hopeful for a resolution today.

With this in mind, and with many servers booting up for seeding, we will now be looking to deliver the hotfix tomorrow, as long as Epic's issue has been resolved.

This outage has been as frustrating for us as it has been for you, and we really thank you all for you patience with us <@&1400831764448149534>. We can't wait to get this hotfix out to you asap.

Server and Stability Update - U18 Statement

<@&1400831764448149534> We want to acknowledge the ongoing issues some players are experiencing, including server instability and client-side crashes following Update 18 and its recent hotfix. We recognise how frustrating this can be and want to assure everyone that we are fully focused on resolving these problems.

At this time, our investigations at this time indicate that these issues are not related to any of our server hosting partners. We’re working closely with QONZER and other providers, who continue to support us as we dig deeper into the root causes.

Our team is actively investigating and testing potential solutions. As soon as we have a more comprehensive understanding of the situation, we’ll share an update with the community. You can expect to hear more from us as our investigation progresses.

That being said, support from the community would really aid our investigations. We ask that if your game crashes, we ask you to go to the new #1430214896259436665 forum and let us know what was happening when your game crashed. This will be invaluable to our investigations.

Information on what to include in your report can be found within the #1430214896259436665 forum itself.

Finally, we’d like to thank everyone who has jumped back in to play since U18 and the hotfix, and for all your continued support so far in addressing these issues.

22 Oct 25 | Server and Stability Statement | Update 18

Update on our investigations into the server and stability issues since Update 18.

Thank you to @everyone in the community who has been sending us #1430214896259436665 since our last post. These have been incredibly helpful for the team and are allowing us to narrow down the cause of the crashes.

TLDR Summary

The team has identified a likely cause of the crashes related to the PhysX physics engine.
These crashes can affect both servers and players, often resulting in multiple players disconnecting at once.
During our testing today, we have seen a client crash ourselves when connected to a live server, allowing for more targeted investigation.
Some additional crashes may be related to DX12 compatibility issues. Updating drivers or switching to DX11 may help.
The team continues to investigate and will provide further updates as progress is made.
If you can reproduce the crash, then please reach out to us.

If any members of the community have been able to reproduce crashes consistently, we would greatly appreciate you sharing the details with us. Knowing how to trigger the issue would significantly speed up our efforts to identify and fix it.

Status of the Investigation

From our investigations so far, we have determined that the problem is likely related to a complication within the PhysX physics engine used in Hell Let Loose.

There appears to be a crash within the PhysX library that can manifest in several ways. It can cause both servers and connected clients to crash. When this happens, multiple players may crash simultaneously, which explains the instances where groups of players drop out of matches at the same time.

This issue has not occurred in our development environment, which makes it more challenging to diagnose. We are working hard to understand what is causing it to occur in the live game, where there are many more variables than in testing.

During our testing today, we have seen a client crash ourselves when connected to a live server. Now that we have seen this, we are able to get a number of developers to attempt the same with development tools attached to analyse what in-game scenario triggers the crash within the PhysX library.

We hope this breakdown helps provide some clarity on the situation and where we currently stand in our investigation, and as we asked at the start, if anyone has found ways to reproduce this crash consistently do reach out and let us know.

Other Crashing Reports - DX12

While reviewing crash reports, we have also seen a number of reports related to DirectX 12 (DX12).

In Patch 17.1 the game was changed to use DX12 by default, where it previously used DX11. For players with compatible graphics cards, this provides a performance improvement.

However, some graphics card drivers and certain GPUs may experience instability when running DX12, which can lead to crashes.

If you are experiencing crashes, please first ensure that you are using the latest graphics card drivers for your system.

If crashes continue, you can switch the game to DX11 mode by going to the **Game Options **menu and changing the “Renderer” setting at the bottom of the Video section to DX11.

We are also posting these updates on our website, Steam and Reddit

23 Oct 25 | Server and Stability Statement | Update 18

Thank you to @everyone who has continued to support us and share crash reports over the past few days. Your feedback and detailed reports have played a huge role in helping us make real progress.

Today, we’re pleased to share that we’ve taken a major step forward in our investigation. The team has been able to consistently reproduce the crash, which brings us much closer to identifying the exact cause. We know how important stability is to your experience, and we remain fully committed to resolving this issue as quickly as possible.

TLDR Summary

The team has made a major breakthrough in the investigation.
We have now found a consistent way to reproduce the crash, allowing us to focus on a much narrower area of the game’s systems.
This issue has been extremely difficult to track down, as reproducing it in a QA or development environment was nearly impossible until now.
With this progress, the team is closing in on the root cause and continuing to work around the clock toward a fix.
We will share more information before the weekend so stay tuned.

24 Oct 25 | Hotfix 2 Status | Server and Stability Statement | Update 18

Today marks a major milestone in our ongoing efforts to resolve the stability and crashing issues that have affected Hell Let Loose since Update 18.

After many days of investigation, testing, and community support, we’re pleased to share that the team has successfully identified the root cause of the problem and implemented a fix. This new build has been tested and is almost ready for an rollout as Hotfix 2.

We know how disruptive the last week has been for many of you, and we want to thank @everyone who has continued to provide reports, feedback, and patience as we worked to get the game back to a stable state. Your input has been instrumental in helping the team reach this point.

TLDR Summary

The team has identified the root cause of the crashes affecting Hell Let Loose since Update 18.
The issue was linked to a physics material reference error caused by certain assets, which could result in client and server crashes.
A new build containing a fix for both client and server crashes has been created, tested, and certified.
This fix is now available for **Steam players **and server owners through a new ‘Experimental Branch’.
The full Hotfix 2 release will roll out on Steam and other platforms early next week following platform approvals.
Players and server hosts on the main branch or console platforms are advised to remove the following maps from rotation over the weekend: Carentan, Foy, Omaha, Utah, Remagen, Sainte-Mère-Église (SME), Stalingrad
The team will continue to monitor for any remaining issues, while also preparing additional asset corrections for Update 19.
Thank you to everyone who provided reports, feedback, and patience. Your support directly contributed to identifying and fixing the issue.

Hotfix 2 Live Tomorrow | 27 Oct 25 | Server and Stability Statement | Update 18

We’re pleased to announce that Hotfix 2 for Update 18 will release tomorrow for all platforms.

We understand that the past few weeks since Update 18 have been challenging and we recognise how much this has impacted the community. We take full responsibility for this and want to reassure you that we’ve taken important lessons away from the experience.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing our plans to strengthen communication and feedback opportunities with the community. If you have any suggestions of things you’d like to see, be sure to let us know.

We’ve also listened closely to your feedback and have made the decision to delay the release of Update 19. This will give us additional time to ensure that it launches in the best possible state. We’ll share the new release date soon.

We’d like to extend a special thank-you to server owners, community testers, and players who supported the team throughout the investigation and testing of Hotfix 2. Your cooperation and feedback were instrumental in helping us identify the issue and verify the fix.

Following the rollout of Hotfix 2, we’ll continue to post regular updates as we move toward the release of Update 19. For those who want to see the technical details, please be sure to read the blog post from Friday 24 October where Kieran, Studio Technical Director at Expression Games, goes into detail on the reason behind the crash and what’s been done to resolve this.

We remain fully committed to making Hell Let Loose the best experience it can be for all players, and we’re excited to share more about Update 19 and our plans for **2026 **in the near future.

Thank you again for your patience and support over the past few weeks @everyone. Your feedback continues to shape the future of Hell Let Loose, and we’re grateful for everyone who has shared their thoughts with us. We’re looking forward to finishing 2025 strong with you, including the release of the brand-new Smolensk map.

PTE Update & Our New Approach to Testing

Today we have been going through the final build designed for the PTE, tested it thoroughly, and unfortunately, it’s not in the right place to share with @everyone just yet as a PTE.

As a result, we’ve made the decision to cancel the upcoming PTE for now.

That said, we have taken key learnings from Update 18 and are using them to make positive changes to how we test and gather feedback moving forward.

New - Experimental Branch Testing

Starting on Monday 10 November, we will be launching our first Experimental Branch build on Steam (initially seen during Hotfix 2). Through this branch, players will be able to join our early test builds, provide real-time feedback, and help shape Update 19 up until release.

This approach differs from the traditional PTE system and brings a number of additional benefits. By using the Experimental Branch, server owners can host their own community servers, allowing them to test CRCON tools and configurations directly. This creates far more authentic testing conditions and helps us identify issues faster.

Another big benefit is ease of access. There’s no need to download a separate application. You can simply switch to the Experimental Branch through the game’s Steam properties. We also plan to update this branch regularly, giving you the chance to try out new builds as they become available.

Unlike previous PTEs, the Experimental Branch will be an ongoing development build that we’ll update regularly as work continues towards Update 19. Each new build may contain known issues, which we’ll outline clearly alongside the specific areas where we’re looking for your feedback.

We’re confident this change will make testing more accessible, flexible, and collaborative for everyone involved.

In the meantime, we still wanted to share what’s coming next. Dev Brief #211 takes a closer look at what to expect in the Experimental Branch launch next week, including new details on Smolensk, the Artillery Squad, and Self-Propelled Artillery.

Hotfix Live Now 🔥

We have just released a follow-up hotfix this morning, addressing the recent visual issues on console xbox ps5
We have also added an additional fix, which was issue where the Commander ability Artillery Resupply was missing for the DAK faction HLLCommander

Info on the Fix

With Smolensk being one of the most ambitious and technically demanding maps we have created for Hell Let Loose, getting it to run smoothly on console required a number of optimisations. Alongside improvements to the level and the game as a whole, some changes were made to render settings on both Xbox and PS5. On PS5 in particular, a small number of these changes had unintended side effects on visual quality. These settings have now been reverted, restoring visual quality to how it was previously, as well as work done to continue optimising performance on console, which will continue into 2026.

Thank you all <@&1400831764448149534>. The Hell Let Loose team hopes that you all have a wonderful festive break ico_HLLSalute

Hi @everyone

We will be updating the community within the next 24 hours on how we are pacing for the Closed-Alpha. Meanwhile we appreciate the patience with those waiting on forum accounts. We are processing these as fast as we can, if you have sent an email to support@hellletloose.com it can typically take 2-4 days. Normally we do reply to every email, but If it has been longer than this and you have not gotten a reply it is likely that your forum account has or is about to be created and no reply was given as it takes time to reply to everybody. There is a long list of new forum accounts awaiting creation, it can be time consuming to do this everyday so it is more an every few days task. We will endeavor to have all forum accounts created ASAP. Thanks!

@everyone Update: 2nd wave of keys will start to make their way out to you all very soon! Took a bit longer than the last wave to prep the emails as a lot of you backed more than once during our PayPal. I will let you all know when the wave is complete and sent. Make sure to check your spam/junk/promotions tab over the next few hours, and thanks again for your patience!

@everyone The Closed Alpha is now LIVE! Thank you all for your incredible patience and support to get us to this moment. The whole team is awake and monitoring server performance and watching for critical issues. We are also following up with people who cannot find or did not yet receive their key. We have also created a large amount of infrastructure to support your experience in the Closed Alpha. You can read all about it here: https://bit.ly/2GZEHsL

@everyone Ok, eventful day! I am still trawling through the Keys to make sure you all get them. This is taking awhile as some are sending emails but actually have their Key and are finding it when I tell them to look in their Junk/Spam or Promotions tab folder.

PLEASE do this first as it takes time to check all emails and search and respond to ensure everyone has their key, so please check this now. If you found it please reply to your email you have already sent saying you found it! Thanks!

In other news, we know they cause of the cross vivox voip issues, but as it is the weekend this may take some time to resolve. We suggest for the time being to just use your Proximity VOIP (V) Key to chat to your Unit and team mates. This will bandaid the cross server unit comms for now. THANKS!

@everyone Hi everybody, we hoped the majority of you have enjoyed the first 24 hours of our Closed-Alpha. We are continuing to work on the VIVOX issues and are waiting for direct support from their team, so unfortunately this is currently out of our control.

Meanwhile I have found a quick way to resend emails for those who do not yet have keys. If this is you (and only if this is you) please DM me now with your backer email. If you are part of a group you need to get the backer to DM me. I am continuing to work through emails and make sure you have both access to the game and forums. THANKS!

@everyone
Ok Day 2, what have we learned. Well firstly, game dev is fun! We have loved watching and playing with you guys out in the hedgerows of Normandy. I managed to get my boots muddy today for a little while and had some good fun.

Secondly, I need more arms and more monitors to keep up with all the DMs and emails. I do have help, but is still taking time to get to you all. Please know, if you have sent a DM or EMAIL we are trying our best to get on top of them all as quickly as we can so thanks for all the support and kind words shown when we do respond and resolve whatever issue there is.

If for any reason you haven't got your key, this is my top priority! All keys were sent but some came bouncing back to us. We will make sure you get your key and have plenty of time in the Alpha.

We are working away on bugs and the obvious voip issue, wewill continue to update you on our progress. Meanwhile remember to try and stick to Proximity comms Default key 'V' as to not get cross communications. Also check #bug-reporting as we will be updating this on a regular basis.

It's been a fantastic start to the Alpha and we couldn't have done it without you! So thanks from behalf of the BM Team! 😍

Hi @everyone 😃

Small update as I know everyone is keen to play, but can be a little frustrating without being able to use the comms as intended.

We think we have managed to finally isolate the VOIP issue and will begin internal testing on this immediately. Hopefully in 24 hrs we will have an update on if this has been resolved. If it is, we will then work hard to implement other small quality of life fixes and will let you all know when that update goes live. Meanwhile we will still keep some servers up for you to jump into for some pew pew amongst the hedgerows.

Thanks for all the constructive feedback so far. Your suggestions are influencing the development of this game, so keep em coming!

Remember you can checkout what is currently being worked on here https://trello.com/b/DsJICxLS/hll-community-closed-alpha

@everyone As some of you will be aware, we have made an update live on steam. This is hopefully a fix for the cross server VOIP issue. We have been able to work on some other things you can view in the TRELLO https://trello.com/b/DsJICxLS/hll-community-closed-alpha

We will make some servers live immediately to test the VOIP, all going well we will turn more servers on! :)

Two main additions are the implementation of Officer markers and a Medic notifier. You can place map markers as the officer by using your binoculars and numerals 1-6. Left click and the marker will be placed. Officers will see markerd from other officers, but only unit members will see markers from their own officer. Markers can be seen in HUD "T"

1 observe, 2 attack, 3 move, 4 defend, 5 request supplies, 6 artillery strike (Not fully implemented)

If a medic is within 50 meters, an in game icon with distance to medic will appear. Medic system and role is WIP and not final.

We will provide a full update on fixes and more information on other features in the near future.
Thanks!

@everyone During low server population times and because our browser is not showing player count correctly, we will consolidate servers. This means only 1 or 2 servers will be online during these times but will mean that it is more likely you will have a full server. as EU #1 has been the most popular, we will start and fill this server first and then look to bring online a US server as needed.

CLOSED BETA KEYS RE-SENT TO ALL OUR BACKERS
Email subject line: Hell Let Loose - Closed Beta Announcement & Key(s)

Hi @everyone

If you backed us on Kickstarter or PayPal and have already redeemed your key from the ALPHA period, you do not need to worry as this is the same key and will work for Closed-Beta, Early Access and for full release of the game. If for any reason you did not receive your key, all keys have been re-sent so please check your emails. Only after you have checked your email including Spam/Junk folders and feel you have still not received your key, you can contact support@hellletloose.com

NOTE FOR RECRUITS: If you are a Recruit tier backer you will need to wait for a later round of testing where we will aim to get you in before Early Access! Unfortunately we can't upgrade you at this time, we appreciate your patience and support.

FORUM ACCOUNTS: We are still working on making sure everyone has access to the forums and are able to link their accounts to the Discord. This feature is currently being updated and we will let you know when it is functioning correctly.

DOWNLOAD
We will let you know as soon as the client is pushed to STEAM. The Closed-Beta download is approximately 7.7gb if installing first time. If you still have the ALPHA client it will be approx 5.5gb update. The total Disk Space required is 15.6gb.

We will continue to update you with more info as we head into Closed-Beta which will commence on the 11th of January at approximately 11am GMT and end 14th January 11am GMT.

Make sure you read the Closed-Beta Guide above!

APPRECIATE THE FEEDBACK

Hi @everyone
We are noting all the feedback and bugs, please keep them coming. Main issues currently surround 1. Entering and exiting vehicles, 2. Tank stutter, 3. VOIP issues.

1. Entering/Exiting Vehicles - I think there is a key bind issue here or something similar inherited from Alpha

Here are some steps for the community solution for the Tanks/Artillery/AT issue:

1 - Close HLL and exit Steam
2 - Navigate to C:\Users\User\AppData\Local (or equivelant folder)
3 - Delete both folders named 'HLL' and 'HellLetLoose'
4 - Open Steam and launch HLL

2. Tank Stutter - No easy fix here unfortunately, but we are working on something we believe will help/resolve the issues. Likely no resoloution available before Beta end.

1 - My personal reccomendation would be to position your tank in a tactical position surounded by friendly Infantry. This way you can support inf movement and help repel enemy tanks, without the need to be constantly driving until stutter is resolved.

3. VOIP Issues - Players are resolving majority of VOIP issues by making sure that their windows audio output is coming through the correct channel. This basically means if you have dual monitors you need to set your default communication device to your headphones rather than your monitor. Or select the appropraite device your are using.

1 - Open Sound Control Panel
2 - Select Playback Tab
3 - Select your playback device
4 - Click arrow next to set default, select Default communication device.

For VOIP comms: Press and hold the following while speaking into your mic.
'X' is Unit officer Chat
'C' is your Unit communication
'V' is proximity chat

We are seeing lots of great engagements and battles happening, I will share some of my own footage with you all spoon!

Please remember to report all bugs #bug-report

We are very aware how important sound is in a game like ours and we will be doing our utmost to make sure we nail it as best we can.

We know that opinions can sometimes be very subjective, so something you may feel sounds amazing, others may not. Please take this into consideration when discussing this and other topics and we will continue to improve and develop HLL whislt considering everyones feedback.

Cheers!

COMMUNITY BACKER PLAY TEST

@everyone
We are aiming to do an unscheduled Community Play Test this weekend March 1st - 4th, for our backers who played in the previous Beta weekend. This will likely be played on the Hurtgen map and is in addition to more beta weekends we are planning.

We want to gather feedback on core meta changes and other tweaks we have made to help resolve some issues we noticed in the previous Beta weekend.

This is simply to let you all know what we are planning so you are aware and can make any necessary arrangements so you can be involved. We will followup over the next couple days and let you know what changes you can expect to see.

Thanks again to the entire community for the ongonig support and feedback as we continue development! 🥄

DEVELOPER BRIEFING #14 - Tactical Map Update

@everyone
Recently, the team have found themselves in a position to spend some time improving the presentation and authentic feel of the map overview that our players use as they fight on the frontline.

When approaching this update, we were keen to achieve the following goals:

Create a visually rich map.
Deeper tactical application during battle.
Easy to read.
Simple visual language that highlights key locations.
Terrain features identifiable through using the map.
It looks like a map that would be used from that era.

** Pre-order Beta Key FAQ**

Hey @everyone,

Just popping down some information to help with any questions you may have in regards to the pre-order beta keys. Please find that info below:

FAQ

How and When will I receive my BETA & Full Games Keys?

Once you have purchased the Soldier Pack you will be sent a confirmation email of your purchase.
On April 4th, you will be sent keys for the BETA phase, these will grant access for you and 2 friends to the 3 BETAs. The 1st of which starts on April 5th.
If you pre-order on or after April 4th 2019 you will receive the BETA codes right away following purchase.
Once the 3rd BETA is complete, these keys will no longer work. You will then be sent another Key that will be for the full game launching on June 6th 2019 (Date to be confirmed, but at least 1 day ahead of the June 6th launch date).
The same applies to the Unit pack, you will receive 6 x BETA keys for the BETA phase on April 4th and then once the BETA phase is complete you will be sent 6 x Full game keys ahead of the June 6th 2019 Early Access launch.

How do I redeem my Keys?

Log into your Steam account, or create one here https://store.steampowered.com/
Input the code onto the ‘Activate a product on Steam’ on the ‘Games’ drop down options section.

When can I redeem the Keys?

You can redeem the keys right away and add the game to your library, HOWEVER, the game will not be playable until the BETA(s) are live or the game launches on June 6th 2019.

When will the BETA(s) be?

The 1st BETA will be on the weekend commencing April 5th and will run through until Monday April 8th.
There will be a further 2 BETA’s ahead of the games launch into Early Access, the dates for these are not yet confirmed but will be announced in the near future.
