Go to Steam to get the latest update of Ground Branch.
We continue to improve the overall usability and player experience with Ground Branch. Online stability has been greatly improved as we are now starting to refine the gamemode systems that will allow us to polish up existing gamemodes and more rapidly introduce new ones to try. As with the previous public build, the overall Ground Branch experience continues to improve greatly.

Known Issues
- EVERYTHING is still a work in progress
- Some users with lower end systems may experience a crash with trying to load Tanker Ship maps. This is due to the time it takes to load certain resources for the map… The game times out while waiting. The map has been optimized and is better for more users, but a final fix is still being investigated
- Vote options may not work after first completed vote in MP session
Engine Update
We have officially moved Ground Branch to version 4.16.2 version of Unreal Engine.
Check out the full engine release notes here:
https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/blog/unreal-engine-4-16-released
As with all new engine updates we take on, we will be utilizing various new features and updates as we go and the game will see various graphics, feature and performance improvements.
GENERAL CHANGES
Stability/Performance
Lots more work has gone into online stability and smoother integration with Steam and the online experience is much better than. We will continue to add Steam features as we go.
Online Connectivity
To get better integration with Steam, we switched to using a third party plugin over the default UE4 implementation. We have found it to be both easier to use and more powerful, giving us direct access to the Steam API with out the need to go through UE4’s Online Subsystem. The result is a much faster and smoother server browser, better servers listings and an easier time connecting.
We hope to leverage more of the Steam API in future (such as Steam Workshop integration), but for now are quite happy with the progress we’ve made.
New Map
A new map that is in progress and accessible from the Training gametype is Storage Facility.
Still very much under development, this map consists of an external central area accessible by boat, helo or on foot from the mountain ridge above that runs into an underground hollowed out mountain storage area. It will serve well for various game types including Terrorist Hunt, Team Elimination, Coop mission and others.
Training changes
The TimeRun game type has been rolled into Training. So it is no longer accessible from the GameType dropdown. Simply select Training and then the map you would like to run. If TimeRun is available then it will show in the map list. The process of setting up targets has also been streamlined and consolidated onto one in game screen, along with the reintroduction of the countdown timer at start.
There has been a simple breaching area setup on the Shooting Range map to allow testing/use of breaching items. We will add the ability to reset and/or change door type on the fly soon.
Ready Room
The ready Room has gone through some changes in the hopes of streamlining the experience. The Operations room has been moved adjacent to the Team Room and is now used to choose insertion areas when entering maps. We are investigating adding more functionality to the room as well.
Based on user feedback, a small shooting range was added off of the Team Room to allow players to easily test out weapon configurations before starting a match. Weapons can only be fired while in the range and only while facing downrange and bullets have no effect on other players. You must also manually equip your weapon upon entering the range by hitting either 1 or 2 (default weapon selection keys).
Insertions
The start of our insertion feature is now in Ground Branch. Be aware, that it is still very much a work in progress with the main point for this build being initial functionality. As noted above, the Operations room now includes the insertion screen where players will choose where they would like to insert (spawn) into the map.
Possible insertion areas are defined by game type and will show on the map accordingly. Players choose a point and when ready anyone can tell the match/mission to start. It can also be canceled mid countdown if needed. In TvT games, you will see when the other team is ready, but obviously not their insertion options. Multiple areas are available in all game types so players can chose to stay together or split into smaller fireteams.
As this feature gets refined, we will add in actual insertion actions for most game types. While the insertion “ride” is not a main focus of the game, they will consist of a short ride along with possible enemy engagement experiences during that time period. For now though, players will simply spawn at the chosen area.
A.I.
The Power Station map has been added into the Terrorist Hunt game type. It is an initial version that we are using to further refine how the AI works and utilizes it’s environment. So as with all maps, there will be times and places that the AI may not work or react as expected. Rest assured, the AI system is in good hands and will show continual advancement as development goes on.
Spectating
Spectating in online play is now streamlined and works correctly. At the moment, spectators can choose to follow any player in the game regardless of team. We will continue to refine this feature to allow for more strict rules on who gets to follow who and in what circumstances.
Bug Tracker
The in game Bug Tracker has been enhanced to allow attachment of log files and screenshots. We highly encourage people to use this feature to help us make Ground Branch the best it can be.
Weapons
The M4 and M1911 models were updated and a new pistol, the P250 was added.
Leaning
We are testing out a new lean revision with a slight view rotation, but while still keeping your weapon level and on target, along with some more intuitive icons. So far it has been well recieved during tests and as with any HUD item, it can be turned on/off in the settings menu.
Testing Builds
Up to this point we have been running testing builds in a closed group of those that decided to financially support development early on with purchasing the Ground Branch Operator Edition. Since we are a very small team it is difficult for us to thoroughly test builds of the game so having a group of players to help goes a long way. We have decided to open up the Testing branch to anyone that owns Ground Branch and decides they want to Opt-In. Please be aware that features will be broken and there are times entire builds are broke as it is simply impossible for us to test everything before making the testing builds available.
A new sub forum has been opened for the announcement and discussion of testing builds as they happen.
http://www.blackfootstudios.com/forums/index.php?/forum/60-testing-branch-discussion/
With the understanding that stuff may be broken (more so than in public builds 🙂 ) and you still want to opt-in, follow the directions outlined here:
http://www.blackfootstudios.com/forums/index.php?/topic/7854-test-branch-opt-in/
Please be aware that testing builds are not compatible with release builds so you will not be able to join a release server with a testing client and vice versa. You will also only be able to have one or the other viable to play at any one time. You can easily turn your Testing opt-in on/off but Steam will update the game install accordingly.
There has been so much work done since the last public build, I’m sure some things got missed in this post. So what better way to find them than to play Ground Branch. Enjoy the game, discuss in the forums and provide feedback and where we are headed and spread the word.
As always, we thank you for your continued support!
