Its a shame that i wont be able to play with a few console buddies i have but i understand this crossplay restriction how ever, But could we see pc and console crossplay only on invite? For example if i invite my friend in pc and they are on console then the PC and console crossplay gets activated.

At that point we would just allow PC-Console crossplay, limiting it to individuals based on people in a group introduces even more technical challenges.

I agree on the support for mods, ModIO is fully supported across platforms including consoles and PC as far as they advertise so lack of mod support seems deliberate here :(

There are a lot of good maps and modes that the modding community makes and I would really like to see some form of support for this down the line

Altough ModIO claims to support it, there are a lot of uncertainties with what they actually support; the implementation, data limits, handling different versions..

The second point of contention is giving access to server files for consoles; to my understanding those are more delicate and we do not want to give the access to potential malicious members.

The community support is not completely out of the question, but was not implemented at the start of the Console Launch and is at the moment not planned to be implemented.

Is the server architecture going to be different or are the Official Server hosting providers going to be the same as the PC version?

Mostly asking this because my region has had some problems with official servers over the last few months and I worry the same issues may be present in console release if same hosting providers are used again

Console servers will be a combination of new providers and some old ones, but console server tick rate is set to 30 due to Xbox one and PS4 performance issues so that will fix the server-side lag.

You have not specified the region you are playing in so if by chance you play on the US-W where there is a known packet loss issue try the "Leda" servers to see if the issue still persists.

Thanks u/Titan_TT, It was indeed that region I had in mind for my comment and I know that there have been changes made in region for hosting providers.

I have still had intermittent issues in US West even after the provider change in Leda servers (though admittedly not as frequent) and testing with WinMTU tooling to these IPs show that the PacketLoss I am experiencing is not along the route at all and was likely the server itself not handling the connections for all players.

I don't want to turn this announcement thread into a troubleshooting thread, but some regions (US WEST in particular) have had serious issues and a console release with the same server providers may lead to a bad user experience in those regions

No problem, the topic is still semi-related. As you have stated it comes down to some server not actually handling the load. But the issue is also the number of hops to reach servers in the US-West region, that is down to the infrastructure and not the server providers or developers. Leda is a state of the art server and has the best hardware on the market so we are still a bit surprised that it struggles on a full server, having the console servers locked at 30 ticks diminishes the load on them significantly and paired with consoles being standardized further helps with disparities encountered with PC users. We are confident that the consoles users will not encounter such issues. (provided there are enough servers to carry the player load(this was a disclaimer:)))

FAQ #3 had me wondering:

Would we ever see in-game chat or VOIP for Mordhau in the future? I think it would lead to more immersive gameplay (similar to what's happening with BattleBit Remastered right now)

A topic likely discussed since the inception of Mordhau. If we could snap our finger and magically implement proximity VOIP, we would probably do so. There are some reservations in regards to moderation and optics with it.

Have you ever noticed that the sounds in Mordhau have no verticality? The implementation of such a feature is a deceptively tricky endeavor that would require substantial work, and the impact is questionable. The feature is not out of the question, but is also not high on the list of topics discussed at the moment.

Stupid question, but will the game be up to date compared to the PC version?

PC and the Consoles will have the same version, yes.

I have a weirdly specific question. Are there any changes to the very large axial deadzone that exists if you play the PC version with a controller? I've always found it really annoying because it makes it hard to queue any sort of diagonally angled slash without a very large camera movement to bypass that deadzone, which feels like it messes with the ability to drag and accel correctly.

Also, any changes to riposte timings? I've noticed what is now a pretty longstanding issue where ripostes sometimes just don't come out because the window is so tight and you sometimes get f**ked out of them due to trigger travel on a controller.

At minimum I'd like to see options for these features, a slider for axial and radial deadzones and a slider for trigger deadzones like Chiv has. Controller support has improved a lot since I first started playing in 2020 but these two issues have really kept me away from playing more of Mordhau than Chiv.

The deadzone for aiming and moving will be possible to be adjusted respectively. The riposte timing will remain unchanged.

Is the gold edition available for pre-order or will it be available upon launch?

The Gold Edition on the Microsoft Store is now available. An error in the description that we changed last minute forced it back into certification that is why it had a slight delay in being listed. All sorted now.

The Sony preordering will have a bigger delay.
