The 'Expanded T2 vehicles' option has been updated and expanded, into 'Release Candidate Units', which lives under the 'Experimental' tab. This will be a melting pot & balance testbed for units being considered for main game integration. There are two additional units, one of which is brand new to the game.

Last Wednesday we had an outage with downloading game updates. This post is a postmortem about what happened and also provides background on how game distribution works currently in BAR.

New engine release candidate (rc3) is ready for testing. Please feel free to give it a try and let us know how it goes, good or bad. This is your chance to check the game will run well for you before this gets released.

The Overwatch team are a group of volunteers reviewing player reports and working to enable moderation to work well within BAR. The release earlier this week (the one that went really badly) brought with it some big and some small improvements.

I was taking a break from BAR development due to mild burnout and Autumn season kicking in with grayscale environment outside. But i'm back, and there are quite a few exciting things coming for our PvE crowd!

As you may have noticed there was a period of approximately an hour when the server went down.

Still working through the test feedback from the 2020 and 2031 engine testing so far. It is funny how a seemly simple issue can lead to uncovering a series of related issues. A new engine release candidate (RC) will be coming soon. I'd like to thank everyone who has helped with the testing thus far: you all have been a huge help! More testing and more reports (both good and bad) are welcome!

The playerlist resource bars will now show the non-default position of the yellow energy conversion slider and the red metal/energy overflow slider. The idea came to me while playing in the 8v8 tournament where overflow slider sharing tactics see use.

Onyx Cauldron 2.2 is now available. This update addresses the pathing of the shallows being imbalanced between sides for some units, mainly noticeable with subs. These can now cross all shallows, and all water units can now cross the entire river and both loops.
