Task Force

Quality of Life Update This update is all about the little things that make a match feel better: knowing who you're playing with, dealing with the players who ruin it, and fewer moments of "wait, why did it do that?" Here's what's new. A Brand New PLAYERS Screen Open the in-game menu and PLAYERS now shows everyone on the server: both teams side by side, the score, the round and the clock between t

Put Down the Mouse Task Force's menus now work entirely with a controller. Boot the game in Steam Big Picture on your TV, grab your controller, and go: find a server, set up a lobby, change your settings, challenge another team on the ladder, and jump into a match without ever reaching for a mouse or keyboard. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30694736/05890462674801cf6d553feb96479eb4fe788f3f.gif There's nothing

This update includes support for ultrawide resolutions. The opening sequences have all been adjusted to accommodate 32:9 aspect ratios:The main menu now supports ultrawide monitors as well. Here is a comparison between the 16:9 and 32:9 variations:The in-game HUD has also been adjusted to ensure all elements are within the 16:9 portion of the screen. We do not allow the camera beyond 16:9 in third

This is probably one of the most important updates we've ever made. Not to be too overdramatic or emotional, but having an automated ladder system was the entire dream of this game from the get-go. You see, this game started off as a mod on Insurgency called Resurgence. It was a total conversion mod for Insurgency that created an entire 3rd person mode along with a robust server infrastructure tha

This update includes a temporary workaround for a critical issue with accelerated paint that would cause some players with both dedicated and integrated graphics (usually laptops) to experience a "black screen" when booting the game. You would still hear the main menu music in the background shortly after the opening logo animation, but the entire game screen would remain black. We now have a work

This update makes some very significant optimizations across various systems. The character rotation system, which sends quite a lot of data, has now been optimized so it no longer floods the network (as it was the first thing to start dropping in low bandwidth scenarios). The audio systems for bullet impacts and footstep sounds have also been optimized. This means footstep sounds or impact sounds

This update includes a ton of new Unreal Engine 5 assets that we're testing. Here's an example of a new map we're planning for a military outpost: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30694736/a0a6c30e51132dbb1c9568944803a027d06cd72c.jpg There's also dynamic weather that we've setup so the map is sometimes day time or night time, which will automatically enable/disable dynamic lighting such as industrial lights and

This update fixes a critical bug with water volumes interacting with bullets and the new lean mechanic. If a player was leaning in water it would cause them to "go sliding" due to the lean pushaway system hitting all the water. It was also not possible to shoot through water using the current bullet mechanics. We've now corrected these issues and leaning in water should no longer be a problem and

This update fixes a critical issue with water replication. There were some inconsistencies with the networking between servers and clients with these new movement mechanics, so now these issues have been addressed. We've also utilized the integrated water system that comes with the engine for determining water depth which means custom water volumes are no longer required since everything just auto

This update overhauls all the animations for the new leaning system. The character will now keep their feet more planted and actually moves the weapon to the left when leaning to the left. So now your "other right" (left) can finally shoot around corners too! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30694736/de863b7a326050b5116a58fb21b9304cbd31bdd9.gif Please note this is a slowed down view of the animation. We also ha

This update includes a ton of new Unreal Engine 5 assets that we're testing. Here's an example of a new map we're planning for a petrochemical plant: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30694736/7d3e4c8016bcb9906fac0592e81fa479c72ee792.jpg There's also dynamic weather that we've setup so the map is sometimes party cloudy, raining, or even an all out thunderstorm. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30694736/20abb79b4ad5a5b9696460f

This update changes the default renderer from DirectX 12 to DirectX 11. We're making this change because after extensive testing we've determined that the game runs smoother this way without really losing too many new UE5 features that we don't necessarily need right now. That's because we value performance much more than graphics, even though we want to make a game that still has good graphics. S

This update makes some significant performance enhancements to the user interface system. We are now using something called "accelerated paint" in order to provide a much more responsive and snappier UI. However this system is currently only in place for DirectX 11 and is not finalized on DirectX 12, which means you would have to manually switch into this graphics mode for the time being. However

This update adjusts a lot of settings for Lumen Global Illumination and Reflections. We've carefully tuned some default engine settings which should fix a lot of issues with existing maps and things being a bit too dark. There is now a significant amount of indoor lighting to prevent things from over-darkening along with some boosting to texture colors. There's also an important fix for auto-expos
