Update 1.6 Community Test Environment Begins Today

Update 1.6 Community Test Environment Begins Today
Thu, 5 March 2020



In anticipation of our Spring update, we will be previewing some upcoming content on the Community Test Environment. Go to your Steam Library and download “Insurgency: Sandstorm Community Test Environment” to play. The CTE will be open from Thursday, March 5 from 10:00 AM MST until 1:00 AM on Monday, March 9.

We’ll be running a “Play with the Devs” event on the CTE on Thursday, March 5 (in Versus Matchmaking) & Friday, March 6 (in Co-op Matchmaking) from 11:00 AM MST - 1:00 PM MST.

We’ll be testing on the US East servers in the official matchmaking, NOT on a server under Community Servers as we’ve done in the past. To join us, just boot up the CTE, please set matchmaking regions to US East, go to Play, select Versus (on Thursday) and Co-op (on Friday), and Find Match. All of the devs won’t necessarily be in one game, but you’ll see us floating around your matches!

During the CTE we will be restricting the playlists to focus solely on the new content. On Co-op there will be one playlist called New Map: Power Plant and on Versus there will be two options, New Map: Power Plant and New Domination Maps

Included in tomorrow's CTE will be the following major features:

New Map: Power Plant



4 New Domination Layouts:
•   Precinct
•   Outskirts
•   Refinery
•   Summit
•   Power Plant
2 New Weapons:
•   ACE 52



•   Tavor 7
Please note that the Tavor 7 is currently not textured, but we want player feedback on the feel and balancing of the weapon

Additionals
•   Improvements to Spectator and Replay System: Improved spectator camera after being killed to point in direction of killing shot or explosion
•   Improved Main Menu Communication
•   Improved Controller Support
•   Map Voting: Selecting "Random" during map vote will no longer launch the same scenario
•   Show XP boost on Playlist UI
•   Improvements to Insurgent fire support
In addition to the content above, our team continues to focus on optimisation.

Once the CTE goes live, we will have a survey linked in the Message of the Day, you can also post your feedback in our Steam CTE Sub Forum here. We will NOT be collecting feedback anywhere else but these two places. Please ensure to use the search function in the Sub Forum to see if your feedback/question has already been posted, and stick to ONE topic per thread.

See you on the CTE!
