Sledgehammer Games has released a new patch for "Call of Duty: World War II" for the Resistance Community Event, and with it comes a few bug fixes plaguing the game as well.
According to the CEO of Sledgehammer Games Michael Condrey, "A few notable items include a console fix to the spectator bug, the addition of the emblem gallery feature, a tuning change to increase the speed of health regen, and of course, the new Resistance Division and new Resistance themed weapons, including the special weapon orders for directly earning them through match play (fwiw, the Volkssturmgewehr is one of my favorite ARs right now.) Prop Hunt, Demolition, Domination XL, HQ updates, and a host of other surprises are just around the corner."
"Also, we have heard your feedback on friendly shell-shock. Creatively, it makes sense that danger close concussions wouldn't distinguish friend from foe in an explosion, and that led to a visceral WWII feel at launch. That said, we are exploring options to reduce or eliminate the impact during matches," he added.
In the official patch notes, several fixes were made to some of the pesky bugs in the game such as disconnect issues, game crashes, and other aspects of gameplay in multiplayer mode. The new patch also turned off the shell shock from friendly explosions, sped up the game's health regeneration, and added Winter Carentan to the main map rotation.
Condrey also noted that the latest patch turned down the foley footstep volume and other players' footstep volume and fixed the issue where some announcer VO lines were louder than others.
"We've been working on this update since December. Hundreds of developers working for weeks to add, improve, refine, and fix. We hope it goes flawlessly. I suspect you'll help us identify new things to address. Please keep the feedback coming, please keep the feedback constructive," stated Sledgehammer Games.
