Can confirm a continued focus on optimisation.

Our next patch, Patch 16, which is on a rather close horizon is focused on optimisations - primarily for Stalingrad, but there will be some global ones too.

Can confirm another optimisation pass for Patch 16 (the next one).

There will be extra focus in that patch given to Stalingrad, which includes a planned bug fix for stuttering on the map, as well as further optimisation on the map itself.

Sorry I don't have a date to share just yet, but I hope you find this info useful!

Hey everyone,

Welcome to Dev Brief #140!

This week we're sharing more on our upcoming optimisation efforts, including special focus being given to Stalingrad, a first look at some upcoming free customisation DLC and highlighting some cool Hell Let Loose content that caught the attention of the team.

Let's get stuck in shall we!


PTE / U10 Optimisation Patch
In case you missed it, last week we talked briefly on optimisation and how we plan on tackling performance across the game, especially on Stalingrad. If you haven’t read this yet, you can check it out here -> Dev Brief #139... Read more

Hey Stevie,

Hell Let Loose does feature bullet penetration yes!

This does mean that even barricades, more specifically Tier 1 & 2 versions can be shot through by certain weaponry.

Concrete bunkers should be giving you supreme protection though, unless someone gets a sneaky shot on an exposed limb or your head.

If you think something amiss is occurring please feel free to contact us at www.team17.com/support with any footage you may have.

We actually added some extra optimisation in Update 10, however Stalingrad has both an FPS bug and is rather intensive atm.

The team are currently testing a bug fix and optimisation patch for Stalingrad that is showing some promising initial results :)

Hey everyone,

Thank you all for your amazing support so far with the arrival of Update 10 and our launch out of Early Access.

The team are already working hard going through everyone's feedback, comments and bug reports as we move towards our first post-launch steps. More news on that will be coming soon!

With Update 10 came with it a swathe of new and returning players to the frontline, which is awesome! To you we'd like to say welcome, it's great to have you with us!

To aid those of you who are fresh to the front we thought we'd share an awesome video guide created by veteran player and Community Bastion, Monoespacial.

The video below is Mono's complete guide for beginners, covering everything from tanks, Roles and the metagame to spawn points, use of supplies and strategic understanding of the game.

Hey SGT,

We've been working hard with EAC and our diligent Server Admins to keep Hell Let Loose a fun, fair and competitive environment.

There have been ban waves, pinpoint bans and continual improvements to how our EAC system identifies and blocks cheats and hacks.

You'll still be able to find the videos / websites of old hacks etc as ultimately, they don't care - they just want your money so why take it down?

Fighting hacks is an ongoing battle in any game and we will always prioritise fighting against them. We owe it to our players.

Hey everyone,

Welcome to Dev Brief #137!

This week's Brief is a special one as it's the last one before we leave Early Access next week and enter Version 1.0, heralding the arrival of the Eastern Front and Soviet forces.

To say the whole team is excited is an understatement, we can't wait to take this next step with you, our awesome community.

This huge next step will be one of many as we continue to further grow Hell Let Loose post Early Access. We'll be sharing more of what that looks like as part of Tuesday's Launch Dev Brief which will feature our 2021 / 2022 Roadmap.

For those eager to dive into Update 10's Changelog we'll be posting that here on Steam on Monday 26th.

Now, back to today's brief as we've only got some things we think you'd appreciate seeing...

Welcome to Dev Brief #136!

This week Max has stopped by to give you an update on some changes coming to Offensive Mode in Update 10, introduce a community competition to win an exclusive helmet to use on the frontline and of course, delve into the Soviet Commander's ace in the hole, the Katyusha Strike!

A lot of these changes have been inspired, guided and provoked from community feedback, so thank you to everyone who took the time to share their thoughts with us on armour throughout Early Access.

Hey!

Both the Winter and Summer Warfare Packs will continue to rotate in availability around different events in the game.

They will both return again and continue to be a free download during the times that they are available.

I don't have any definitive dates to hand right now, but they will certainly return.
