⛔ IMPORTANT: CLEAR YOUR OLD FILES

We generally recommend players to delete all contents in the following locations (copy-paste the path into your File Explorer address bar and hit Enter):

   1️⃣ %LOCALAPPDATA%\GroundBranch\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
   2️⃣ Documents\GroundBranch

⚠️ Not doing so may cause various asset and input issues in your game.

Patch V1032.2 is now available!

This is expected to be the last patch for V1032, after which — if nothing game-breaking comes up — we will be fully shifting to work on the V1033 release.

Here’s the full change list with all of the fixes and tweaks:

DevTest changes

If you have played the latest DevTest build (shared about a week ago with our Discord community), these changes will not be new for you:

  • Updated stride length calculation to fix “dip” when moving
  • Big restructuring of inventory item system (in particular replication) with the aim of fixing a wide range of online kit bugs
  • Lots of changes behind the scenes as a consequence of the above
  • Miscellaneous bug fixes identified during the course of the restructuring
  • Dragging-and-dropping attachments will now copy the skin for the attaching item from whatever you are dragging it onto, if possible
  • Updated inventory bar to equip a rifle on single press if hands are empty and there is a rifle on left/right shoulder, but not slung from chest
  • Updated platform system to make sure a single dump pouch is added to the players inventory (attaches to belt or platform, whichever is found first)
  • Made sure newly spawned mag/round for AI is added to their inventory
  • Fixed right elbow while sprinting with tablet/grenade
  • Fixed skin not being applied when selecting item without customizing it
  • Fixed magnifier having no sight picture when swapping from offset sight back to it
  • Fixed zoom in/out input staying active even when not looking down sightline with magnifier
  • Restructured night vision handling (local and spectator)
  • Tablet (map) now fills screen fully when equipped — the camera automatically adjusts and zooms in on it
  • Small update to ladder handling code so ladders should work a bit better
  • Server Browser now obscures passwords in the text input dialog
  • Fixed item not being brought up upon entering play unless it was already equipped in the Ready Room prior to leaving it
  • Tweaked position of display mag info notifier in mag check widget
  • Fixed iron sights validity check
  • Fixed issues related to the input sensitivity value not being set back to zero
  • Fixed cheap wooden doors on Compound having no collision

Post-DevTest changes

This is the list of changes made after DevTest was released, based on reports and feedback:

    • G33 Magnifier collision fixed to allow flipping up/down when in use or when not ADS
    • The magnifier is now also flipped up in the weapon customization screen to make it more intuitive to interface with other attachments
    • Updated weapon attachment placement to allow shape components to be used as well as static or skeletal meshes
    • Updated tan G33 to use the correct skin
    • Hopefully fixed issue with server details going out of scope
    • Fixed (new) issue with trigger not firing correctly and not being able to shoot when crouched
    • Updated platform to add/remove/reattach dump pouch as required
  • Changed iron sights handling to deactivate all front sight posts by default and do some general fixes
  • Corrected box collision used on some dropped mags
  • Fixed PIP scopes not having screen space ambient occlusion (SSAO) and screen space reflections (SSR)
  • Set all exterior lights in City to only be on at night (was causing slowdown at dawn/dusk due to to many lights being active)
  • Tweaked Tablet to not fully fill screen when zoomed, for a bit of peripheral vision
  • Fixed ammo check and fire selector HUD elements showing up for listen server host as well as client
📢 This has been BUILD UPDATE #036!
Thanks to all of the public DevTesters for helping us get this patch squared away!
