2nd Patch Released For Takedown

Posted by CraftyReaper \ Posted in Takedown News

Serellan have managed to get a second patch for Takedown out, update your game through Steam inthe usual way. Here are the fixes posted by Stadler in the Official Forums.

LOD’s and supporting code adjusted to resolve the odd eyeball/hand stretching issues with dead bodies.
Implemented fix to reduce single player games abruptly ending with message prompt “Your connection to the host has been lost.” after attempting to join an MP game issue.
UI fix for loadouts displaying options in their inappropriate slots.
Fixed DLC bug related to players unable to join servers due to DLC mismatch.
UI Fix for debug text “null’ displaying on the AAR screen.
UI Fix for “AAA:BBB” being displayed on waiting to load screen.
UI fix for server browser (lobby) games not refreshing upon clicking refresh button.
Single Player extraction zones increased and should now properly complete while playing with Squad AI.
All HQ extraction zones near all gates properly function.

Stadler goes on to talk about the teams triage process to addressing further issues.

"There are still issues outstanding that we want to address, and some of the more critical issues require more time to implement. As a part of what we call the Triage process, we take into consideration several factors when determining which fix to adopt:

Ease of fix
Impact of fix on other areas
Length of time to implement
Severity of the issue
Etc."

They are continuing to monitor forums for problems with the game, so if you have one that has not been discussed head there and post your machine specs, your problem and any information you can give the team on how the problem occurs (what you were doing at the time).

First Patch Release

Posted by CraftyReaper \ Posted in Takedown News

The first round of fixes has begun with the Hotfix Update Patch 1. Serellan have already indicated that there will be further patches in the weeks to come. Here are the details of this one.

Fix List:

Steam client launcher [PLAY] button will now launch a batch file that properly loads the 32bit or 64bit version of the game based on the player's Windows operating system. This should fix many connection issues.

Added Steam Server list support. To view in Steam, Click View (from the top) > Servers > CHANGE FILTERS: Takedown Red Sabre. Note: we are currently working on a subsequent patch to even further increase the accuracy of the server information shown.

Fixed certain player audio input from not being heard by enemy AI, causing unresponsiveness.
TTS (Text-To-Speech) feature has been disabled due to player abuse.

Also in regard to the pre-order offer, it seems that folks who pre-ordered by third party are having difficulty seeing the unlocked Killhouse content. We are working through this issue with Valve and should hopefully have a solution shortly. If you have a pre-order code and have entered it, please follow this process to access your unlocked content.

1. Choose Play > Single Player
2. Choose GAME MODE > Tango Hunt > MAP > Killhouse

Note that some user may experience minor text errors on loading screens, this will be addressed in the next update.

UPDATE: If you are having issues with your server being shown in the Steam Server Browser, please ensure port number 7777 is open.

Again for further information keep yours eye here or on the official Serellan Forums.
