Roadmap Refresh - Oct 1st, 2020
Fri, 2 October 2020
With 1.0 now in the wild, it's time to look to the future...again.
Hey squaddies,
It's been a very busy time at OWI, with Squad finally hitting Version 1.0 and releasing out of Early Access. We just want to say a massive thank you again to everyone who joined us over the launch week. Whether you are a new player or have been with us since the days of Kickstarter, we appreciate all of you for joining us in the celebrations.
One of the essential values the team is incredibly passionate about is providing updates and support to the Squad experience. Before v1 was released, we made significant updates to our roadmap, changing it to a "Living Roadmap" to better represent the fluid decisions that can occur in a development environment and accommodate any road blockers we may encounter.
It didn't take long for changes to start occurring. Three days after we unveiled the new, living roadmap, we ran into a technical issue with our build machines, which impacted development time. An unforeseen circumstance but one we were now prepared to communicate and help the players understand why a new update wasn't arriving on schedule.
Over that time, it's also...

State of Production #12
Wed, 30 September 2020
Hello everyone, my name is Tim Perreault and I'm the Executive Producer at New World Interactive. September has been a productive month for us. We've got a hotfix for the live game, a CTE Preview Event for our next update, and we announced a Mapping Contest for Insurgency: Sandstorm!
Key Points of State of Production #12
• 1.7.1 Hotfix 2
• 1.8 Open CTE Event
• AI Update
• Mapping Contest
• Operation: Breakaway
1.7.1 Hotfix 2
We've been spending a lot of time investigating the stuttering issue that some of our community members have been encountering. With the help of Epic we've found the cause relates to a recent Global Invalidation change that was done to improve performance. For the time being, we are disabling global invalidation. Because this did have a meaningful impact on the game's performance we'll be looking to reimplement global invalidation in the future when we can do so without any unintended side effects. This hotfix also addresses a few other issues that were annoying to the community including the lack of collision on Summit point D, mines not detonating when being run over by vehicles, and an issue preventing kills from...
