Everyone,

The previously mentioned RO2 update is in Valve's hands and will be released soon. The stats reset will take place sometime tomorrow morning/afternoon time. The changelog is below:

Stats
-Fixed stats and acheivements being awarded when they shouldn't have been and sometimes not saving stats on ranked servers. This requires a global stat and achievement reset which will be happening soon.
-Fixed several number display issues in the profile menu and after action report
-Honor, class, and weapon experience are all currently doubled to help make up for stats lost to the reset
-A new achievement has been added which is unlocked simply by playing RO2 during the double xp for players affected by the stat reset

Gameplay
-Reloading can be interrupted by melee or switching weapons
-Fixed quick grenade not returning to the previously equipped weapon
-Fixed team wounding counting as kill
-Fixed kill assists not showing up all the time
-Fixed Countdown Time to Beat being always 0
-Fixed timers showing wrong numbers in the single player campaign
-Fixed tank AI being able to see through smoke
-Fixed tank cannon smoke shells not blocking any AI vision

Stability & Performance
- Major optimization pass on all maps should increase performance across the board
- Reduced Alt-Tab crashing
- Fixed post-processing preset resetting itself in the video settings menu
- Fixed glowing outline/rainbow colors around the screen for certain machines
- Fixed a bug causing all audio to cut out after a map change
- Graphical improvements to environments, weapons and vehicle interior - areas or vehicles/weapons not in direct sunlight now have working specularity which will help make normal maps more visible and textures to look less flat
- New Umbra release and optimization
- General CPU optimizations

Server
-Fix for commandline setting of webadmin values not saving after multiple map changes

I'll be honest, being in the preorder beta plus all the other updates, this game is an unholy terror on my monthly bandwidth cap.

Okay for anyone else having the trouble with the inb4 reset achievement, try this - http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showpost.php?p=931943&postcount=14

No no, don't worry that's perfectly normal, nothing ever goes right with this game.

Could anyone spare a few multiplayer tips for a RO noob?:p

I find im getting butchered constantly in multiplayer. I make use of cover but seem to get picked off by some guy halfway across the map a lot of the time.

I love the realism of this game, but my god is the learning curve steep with this game.

I found playing it safe got me killed. Treat it like a CoD style run and gun shooter with an automatic weapon or use a rifle if you have good reflexes and aim. You'll take a lot of guys by surprise and get kills. I'm consistently in the top 3 on servers using this style instead of treating it realistic.

Depends on the map, sometimes the run and gun can work.
I'm only alright at the game, mainly due to it preforming like crap on my PC but my tips would be:

Take your time, use prone a lot. Check the area around corners by leaning. when you have to go into open areas sprint from cover to cover.
You'll simply learn the more you play, when to move, when to stay, when to crouch/prone etc.

Try be aware of your teammates location, so you know where they should be covering. You can sometimes tell where they've been shot from too.

Hey! recently purchased a very good PC with a monitor which has a max resolution of 1366x768, just a bit worried before purchasing this game whether or not the game will run at this resolution or do you have to tinker around with the game's files ? a response from a player of the game would be much appreciated!

So whats the deal with mods and the sdk ?
id love to play some new maps

anyone played the classic mode yet. i havent played it in months coz it didnt really feel like the realistic shooter sorta game i was hoping but classic sounds promising. still downloading the patch

Trying to give this a shot but can't find any guide to ease me into it.

WTF does my enemy even look like? TK'd someone off in the distance I thought looked suspicious then was hesitant to fire on other people.
