A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!

Do I need to switch on the "testing -" beta program at Steam properties or will the patchie be applied into the regular version?

So, apologies for necroing but nothings happened since march, is this anything to be worried about?

Looks like the team has been busy working on the next big update. I think there should be a new dev blog coming soon before any patches are rolled. This is a fine thread of information:

Short lasting lag spikes have gotten a lot more frequent for me. This problem happens only in Mordhau. Other games using dedicated servers and even peer to peer do not suffer from the ping spikes. What could be causing them?

I very much appreciate all the work you did for this. Thanks for adding the arming sword.

I found these things while roaming the new Tourney map. It looks like their textures are bugging out. What are they?

I live in Utah, so I'm not out of the way but I seem to have ping of 80-120 most of the time and super often ping spikes of 200+
Anyone been able to fix a ping problem for this game? I don't have high ping or spikes in any other game.

Glad to hear I'm not alone with this. My Wi-Fi has never had the weird spikes with other games either.

Video settings do not follow the actual values I apply into them it seems. I was satisfied with the FPS I got with everything else on highest settings, but shadows and foliage turned as low as possible before the patch. In this patch my FPS was cut down into rather unplayable 20 despite I use the very same settings.

Go play the test map and try it out for yourself.

I learned that one needs to put command "open LiteMordhauTestLevel" into console and I had to change Tilde key to F9 for it to work again, but thanks for telling me of the map's existence.

Has Triternion mentioned anything about testing mounted combat yet? Horses alongside lances will be found from stables in the map instead of being spawnable with and customizable, right?

My "first" impressions. It's actually my second time booting the game up to play because I wanted to make sure I could actually explain stuff and hopefully get people into the game.

Nice helmet. Do you have a full set?

Is anyone else getting long startups? Sometimes the game takes 30 seconds or more to load, other times instant. The game runs fine on my GTX 970 so I have the required specs, just don't know why it takes long to start. Chivalry loads instantly for me. I hope it isn't just me :(

I have this too. No idea what causes it because the game itself runs quite smoothly.

How large was the download?

Just got my key. Praise the Sun!

Did we get bamboozled?

@NoHarmNoFAL said:
Anyone know the size of the download yet?

I'd like to know this too. Is there any information on it?

@Killdozer said:
Last Video. Probably.

Looking forward to the customization. I wonder how much of it will we have in Alpha?

Next gen Graphics tbh.

Intriguing. Unless that is a hoax, please do share more if you are allowed to.

Yours truly.

Full screen it by the way.

He nailed those Witcher 3 combat moves. Looks quite silly and telegraphable in reality.
