Hello everyone!

The second hotfix to address issues found in the Summer Update has just been released!
After this update, we're off to enjoy our summer holidays, but don't worry - we'll be back in action in August.

Have a great summer everyone!

v1.5.9.1

- Fixed outpost security being way too eager to arrest characters who attempt to escape a security inspection, to the point that getting inspected while running past a guard would immediately make them arrest you.
- Fixed some thalamus items being hidden for no reason in some wrecks.
- Fixed "assault enemy" order not working in abandoned/enemy outposts.
- Added a configurable multiplier for the cost of hiring a new character to replace a permanently killed one. Makes it possible to host permadeath servers without having to assign hiring or money permissions to clients.
- Players are allowed to rename the character they take over in the permadeath mode.

Hello everyone!

We've just released a hotfix to address a few issues with the latest update.


v1.5.8.0

- Fixed crashing when killing a defense bot or a leucocyte.
- Fixed directional flak ammo box still being carried with 2 hands.

Hello everyone!

It’s soon time for our team to take our yearly summer holidays. Before that, however, we will release one more update for you to enjoy: The Summer Update will include the Permadeath and Ironman game modes, and a long list of other additions, fixes and improvements.

Permadeath and Ironman

These two new game modes will bring added challenge to those who want it, by changing the way respawning and character death work in multiplayer.

In Permadeath, when your character dies, you will lose that specific character and all their progression. You will be able to keep playing by either taking over a bot crewmate, or by purchasing a new character from the next outpost, should your crew survive the trip there.

If you really want to challenge yourself and see how far your crew can make it, you can try the Iron... Read more

Hello everyone!

We've just released a second hotfix to address issues in the Blood in the Water update. Find the list of changes below, and be sure to update your game to the latest version.

Please note: We are aware of localization issues in certain talent descriptions, but unfortunately these could not be addressed in today's hotfix. We will release a third hotfix for the localization issues specifically a bit later, most likely next week.


v1.4.6.0

- Fixed monsters sometimes spawning immediately after the round starts (Often happened between levels, when there was no outpost between them).
- The 'Art of Submarine Warfare' book granted by the 'War Stories' talent is now a separate item and the original book has been reverted to its original state.
- Fixed Thalamus' fleshgun ropes not being able to stick to a submarine anymore.
- Fixed Thalamus' flesh spike crashing the game in the multiplayer game mode.
- Added a scrollba... Read more

Hello everyone!

We've just released a hotfix to address a few commonly occurring issues in this week's update.


v1.4.5.0

- Fixed crew remaining dead, mission remaining completed/failed, etc when you return to the lobby an restart the round. The issue was that the server did not properly load the previous save when opting to continue the ongoing campaign.
- Added a button to the server lobby which opens the server description in a popup to make it easier for players to find. We are still thinking of the best way to handle the description/MOTD, this is more of a quick band-aid solution for the description being too easy to miss / difficult to find at the moment.
- Fixed descriptions being outdated on some of the modified XP talents. Currently only fixed in English, the descriptions in other languages are still outdated.
- Fixed "command not found" error when trying to use the new "converttowreck" console command.
- Fixed items in a co... Read more

Hello everyone!

The Blood in the Water update is finally ready and coming next week. It introduces a lot of new dangers and customization options to offer suitable challenges for veteran submariners and new players alike. The update also adds new content, even a surprise monster some players may remember from early, pre-Steam builds of the game. Let’s take a final look at everything that’s coming next week!

Medicine and monsters

• Medical system “mini-rework”. Rebalanced medical items, a couple of new afflictions, and new use cases for a few items.
  
• Two new monsters. We’re adding two monsters that employ poisons in their attacks: the Viperling, a new Spineling variant… and the cave-dwelling Mantis, a monster that used to exist in early Barotrauma builds!
  
• New attacks for Abyss monsters. The largest mon...

Hello everyone, we've just released a second hotfix to address the multiplayer server crashes ongoing since last week. We are very sorry for the trouble and will continue to monitor the situation, but we are hopeful this fix should complete our countermeasures against these exploits being used to crash servers.

Please make sure to update your game to the latest version – the fix may take some time to apply as both clients and servers need to restart and update, so if you are still experiencing the server issue immediately after the update, please restart Barotrauma and Steam, and request that the server host do the same.

Please note that some source code mods, for example the very popular Lua for Barotrauma mod, need to be updated following this update. Servers using these mods will have some additional delay in the fix taking effect.

We wish everyone smooth sailing and thank you for your patience!

Hello everyone, we've just released a single-change hotfix to address an exploit that was discovered recently:

v1.3.0.3
- Fixed an exploit that allowed crashing servers by sending them specifically crafted malformed data.

We're sorry for the trouble this exploit has caused to some multiplayer servers in recent days. This fix should allow you to get back to playing normally!
