Each PC is built to accommodate different needs, which is why purchasing one that is prebuilt is a terrible idea. You would end up with a machine that is far more efficient both in terms of performance and in terms of pricing if you choose all the components yourself. Moreover, prebuilts are a way of getting rid of one or two components that are not selling well, by bundling them with some nicer components.

Building a PC is nowhere near as daunting as it used to be. There are online tools and resources for everything you would like to know, and everyone has at least one friend with experience in building a PC they could consult for help if needed. Here are some nice resources off the top of my head:

• Logical Increments for choosing good components for every possible price range: https://www.logicalincrements.com/
• PC Part Picker for browsing parts, reading reviews, and creating your build with a compatibility filter to ensure everything works nicely together: https://pcpartpicker.com/
• User Benchmark for detailed comparisons between the performance of two components: https://www.userbenchmark.com/

You have to click "Close program".
I hope that helps and makes the window go away.

Automatic mod downloads will go a long way to keeping the game fresh. Good patch.

now tell Vesanus or whoever is in charge to get off their fucking ass and give us Feitoria already holy shit

Many thanks for the info Devs!

Also, I know full well gal warriors in Medieval Times weren't common, but surely they didn't just not exist either. Surely Norse Legend Valkyries didn't just video game style promote into Valkyries from the Base Class of 'didn't do a damn thing violent gals who stayed at home & just cooked, cleaned, & did laundry'... That can't compute with me.

I bet Sparta Women would be amazed to know that they & their tomboyish ways never existed & they just hallucinated it the whole time... Oh, & Amazon Warriors say "Hi!"...

The Irish & Celts were known to have strong gals in their time as well... especially when those gals were Redheads. (<3 Redhead Gals <3)

There might have been very very rare Female Samurai in Japan... also there were enough Female Ninjas in ancient times that they had a special designation to themselves... "Kunoichi".

Also, France... who here has heard of the legend of "Joan of Arc"? (Who if I remember right went into battle in Heavy Armor...)

So... what was that that the voice of Chauvinist Pigs were saying about Gals being incapable of belonging on a Medieval Battlefield...? In my Shamelessly Biased Opinion, Gender Inequality is Bullshit. I rest my case.

Lastly, this Game is the Dev's game & they can do what they wish with it, including deciding how they wanna bring Gals into the fray & how so... & I will abide by it & work within the parameters they grant us. With that said, I can't help but to hope I can inspire your imaginations with some ideas for future Gal Characters i'd enjoy playing in this game... in no particular order:

1: Exiled Redhead Irish Princess...

2: Keira Knightley Character in King Arthur Movie inspired Female Archer. (If she wants to die everytime an Enemy Arrow finds her naked belly, she's responsible for the consequences of her choices, Truth in Television. )

3: Exiled Female Japanese Katana Wielder Mercenary. (If I remember right, in Medieval Times, Gals who were caught wielding a Katana were killed for daring to wield such a supposedly 'sacred' weapon while being gals instead of guys... I envision the Roleplay that my Gal said "Bleep YOU!!!" to that sexist unjust rule & trained to awesome proficiency at the Katana, but was eventually discovered & fled her Homeland to escape Execution & self-Banished vowing never to return, she traveled West all the way to Europe & makes her living as a Mercenary for Hire to make ends meet & keep herself fed & such.)

4: How can I not make a Joan of Arc inspired Character... aka a Heavy Armor Female...?

Food for thought...?

P.S. Ya chauvinist pigs would already have a way to 'argue' against Gal Characters... it's called... "Your Weapons". Peeps like me who think Gender Inequality is Bullshit also have a way to 'counter-argue' as well, yep, ya guessed it... our Weapons! One of the major causes of Battle & Conflict was disagreement & non-acceptance of Ideals not one's own... Mordhau can embrace this as a additional component for Fun Factor!

What has happened to this place

Triternion rocks! I stand by with the community. Love this game and the team. Mistakes happen. No matter what happens, you can't float everyone's boat. Focus on the the additional game content, you guys are doing great!

What about crush responding to a post on the steam forums post-release citing realism as a reason for a client-side toggle for female models?

What about it? I don't personally agree with implementing this but it's an interesting approach to a large number of complaints. Funnily enough this toggle would have worked both ways so you could play with only women in game as well, obviously the journos went straight at the white male gamer attack and decided to throw in race as well for maximum outrage

You've already done well on the market what power do these people have over you and your team? They do not and you should not give them any power over your team But if you do are people who dislike the potential social justice or censorship of in-game chat? I don't want my money going to anti-whites cowards who capitulate to leftist journalists. If you have chosen to appeal to leftists journalists and not your own community, I would like a refund, because I don't want to support your current or future games, and will not. I bought your game under the assumption you would stand up to these people, and just provide a quality product, Not cow to leftist mobs. I respect the creators enjoy the work you've created and want you to do well but I can not and will not support them if they capitulate to the leftist gaming lying press, and destroy the european identity of the atmosphere of their game, and censor their community in any capacity. Thanks for updating us, but I'm disappointed your capitulated or even listened to these people at all because they have no power over your team.

Hitpiece or not, I'm disappointed in retracting the gender toggle options.

Seem's like we boys can't be boys anymore :/

Just let boys be boys. People that can't take banter will be filtered out. Begone with the SJWs.

If only the players themselves had access to hide the posts from other players..

hmmmmm..

Patch #04 Changelog: 08/05/2019

With this patch, we are rolling out the gold compensation for our rocky launch. It comes in the form of 10K gold, and you can choose to accept or decline it when you launch the game. We have no way to know who was affected, so it is extended to all current players. This is a one time thing. If you decline it, it's gone. You will be able to claim this compensation until (including) Sunday UTC.

Networking

• Matchmaking improvements
• Joining a server will now reserve a slot in advance, fixing the issue of being booted after loading.
  Server owners will have to make sure that the beacon port (15000) is reachable; it can be overridden on the command line with BeaconPort=<port>

Maps & Gamemodes

• Fixed players being able to get out of bounds on Mountain Peak
• Fixed some icicles not dropping on Mountain Peak
• Weapons/projectiles no longer collide with bounds on certain maps

Visuals & Misc.

• Fixed spectators being kicked for AFK even when moving
• Fixed fire kills not being tracked
• Fixed pyromaniac achievement not working
• Fixed Whack A Mole achievement
• Fixed couched head kills not being tracked
• Potential fix for a rare(?) crash (could also crash the server)
• Added m.ThirdPersonDeathCamera by default it is disabled, added it to settings as well. Does what it says, forces 3p camera on death. Can help for people who get motion sick.

Audio

• Increased volume of human footsteps and horse galloping, increasing sound awareness
• Catapult & Ballista firing sounds can now be heard from further away, increasing awareness
• Fixed horn on camp being too loud at certain times
• Increased volume of low stamina breathing and made it more even across voice sets, making it easier to notice in fights
• Lute is now louder

UI

• Added friend UI marker - can be toggled with H, in the options or m.friendlymarker console command. Has 3 states (friends & party, all teammates and off).
• Frontline spawn screen now shows friends and party members as orange dots
• Added “Show Killed By” toggle in the options or m.ShowKilledBy, can be used to turn off the killed by panel
• Tutorial reward message on main menu now hidden when it is completed

It's been one hell of a ride thus far, and it's only been 7 days. None of us would've expected this reception in our wildest dreams.
As of today MORDHAU has sold just shy of 500.000 copies and we have reached a peak of 60.000 concurrent players yesterday. These are just mindblowing numbers to us, and we still haven't fully realized that MORDHAU is currently among the top played games on Steam.

Unfortunately the launch wasn't as smooth as we had hoped. Server performance was abysmal and reward drops such as Gold and XP, as well as unlocks were not functioning properly. We are still in the process of seting up new servers in regions that need them and as a result the Matchmaking can still be spotty. There's also some other Matchmaking related bugs that prevent parties from joining the same game, or BR lobbies to populate very slowly, but we're on top of that. All things considered, the majority of launch issues have been resolved. As for compensation of the lost Gold and XP. We have not forgotten about it and will be shipping it via the next patch.

Right now we are addressing some of the more frequent and critical issues, like the "Ghost Bug" among others, as well as some map exploits. These past few days had been very hectic for us, but things are starting to somewhat get back in order.

Looking ahead for future updates, we've got a couple new maps in mid-production: Castello and Feitoria. Here's a few impressions on the latter.

On top of that we will start looking into Ranked/Competitive modes, starting with duels. However we cannot give an exact timeframe on when you can expect these updates to be rolled out yet. We are terrible when it comes to estimating things, I'm sure our alpha players can attest to that.

Additionally we will keep adding new armor pieces and weapon skins here and there, as well as some new character customization options.
Goals further down the line would be to release Modding Tools, as a lot of you seem to be very eager to create some custom content.

We've got lots of ideas for improvements to the maps and gamemodes. There's also been some amazing feedback and suggestions coming from you guys. When it comes to balancing and tweaking of mechanics, we are pretty happy with how things are looking right now, but we will start tweaking some things soon.

In closing we'll take this opportunity to give some shout-outs.

Thank you

• to all the Kickstarter backers and alpha testers. Without your constant feedback, suggestions and nitpicking the game would not be where it is now.
• to G-Portal/zeuz and their amazing support. You guys were super helpful and assisted us a bunch to keep up with our launch woes.
• to all community server hosts. You really saved our asses to provide servers for all these players while we were struggling to spin up our own.
• to our promotional launch re-stream: You guys knocked it out of the park and delivered some sweet first impressions right on the storefront.
• to all the content creators out there creating videos and streaming. MORDHAU spread like a wildfire, which wouldn't have been possible without you.

We've set up a shop with Mordhau-branded physical items (no keys, sorry!) that you can buy, featuring some amazing t-shirts designed by our very talented Rattsknecht. Perfect if you want to show off your love for the game, or just want to look cool. We're starting it off with a 10% discount this week -- check out the shop here!

@TheKingInTheNorth you copying me? ;)

very cool I can't wait to play on the new and improved official servers!!!

@Frise said:
Be honest, was it that thing the guy on reddit said?

No.

This is a pretty dramatic "perk" with upsides and downsides. It's also one I can't really see outside of community modded servers, but who knows, maybe the devs are crazy enough. If not, I still think it's a pretty fun concept.

(4-10)Ogre- Increases your character's hp and size (1.5x-2x bigger? HP increase is up to debate, probably somewhere between 25 and 50), but not the size of the weapons he wields

Upsides- You're bigger. You're gonna have a bit more range from your longer limbs and more hp from how damn thicc your flesh is. It's gonna be pretty hard for melee enemies to hit your head unless they have a polearm or you're bending down to hit them properly. You're also probably gonna look terrifying to anyone who's not a big dumb brute like you. Finally, thanks to your big meaty hands and heavier body, you can even one-hand two-handed weapons! But wait-

Downsides- You're bigger. Obviously you're going to be easier to hit from both arrows and melee- ranged players will likely see you as two horses stacked on top of each other, moving at the speed of a normal person, and matrixing to avoid hits and punishes from melee will be very difficult if not impossible. Due to your size, you're also gonna have a tough time getting though some entryways and paths. You'll probably have to crouch to get through doorways and such-sized openings. You're also going to have much louder footsteps, so good luck trying to get the drop on anyone. Thanks those damn big meaty hands of yours, you can't wield those fast one-handed weapons, hold shields properly, or even use a ranged weapon.

Cosmetic- Voice pitch lowered by certain amount, even if result is below minimum pitch.

Got my T-shirt, it looks amazing.

We know a bunch of you guys don't receive any Gold or XP rewards. It must sound like a broken record, but we're looking into those issues.
To make up for the inconvenience we will compensate all of you with a little bonus once the problems are ironed out.

The server stability problems somewhat contained and under control. However there's way more people playing than we expected so we're a little short on server space and we're working with our partners to expand with the demand.

Thanks for all your patience so far!
