Hello everyone!

It’s time to reveal the biggest change in the upcoming update: a complete overhaul of the PvP game mode. This game mode has not received any attention from us in a long time, so now we wanted to bring it up to par with the rest of the game.

Two new mission types The PvP overhaul introduces two brand new mission types: Outpost Deathmatch and King of the Hull.

• In Outpost Deathmatch, two teams battle inside one of two purpose-built outposts. The first team to reach a set amount of kills gets the win.
  
  
• In King of the Hull, the teams must race their subs to a beacon station, get inside, capture it and defend it from the enemy team to emerge victorious.

Improved Sub versus Sub gameplay Something we’ve seen players request many times is choosing different subs for different teams in ... Read more

Hello everyone, we've just released an extra hotfix to address two issues which have caused problems recently:

v1.5.9.2

- Fixed an exploit that allowed clients to crash servers when hosting through SteamP2P.
- Fixed crashing when loading a save in which a character has a deconstruct order and an item marked for deconstruction is outside hulls.

Hello everyone!

We’ve been back at our desks for a few weeks now, and it’s time to turn our eyes towards the second major update of 2024.

This next update is going to be in the oven for a while longer, but remember that you can try out all the upcoming features and changes in the Unstable version as they roll out for playtesting throughout the next couple of months.

Coming in October
Just like last autumn with the Treacherous Tides update, we’ll again be overhauling and fleshing out a game mode which hasn’t received a lot of attention in recent years. Can you guess which one it will be this time?

In addition to this overhaul, you can look forward to improvements to alien ruins, new additions in the Velonaceps calyx depa... 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!
