Update 15 is OUT NOW | Dev Brief #200 April 25

Play Mortain today!

Hello everyone,

Update 15 has deployed on all platforms!

This update brings Mortain to Hell Let Loose – a new map and exciting environment to experience for all modes, based on the US defence of the French town of Mortain.

Mortain is our first map release; a significant milestone for us, created and refined with your feedback. Your dedication to Hell Let Loose helps us deliver content that serves an authentic WW2 experience. We’re delighted to see you all jump in and play today!

We’ve also updated Sainte-Marie-du-Mont – increasing overall playable space around the town to produce a better gameplay experience. Delving into these changes below, you can see how we’ve provided more routes in and out of the capture point, creating more viable outpost/garrison options and flanking opportunities.

Two new Skirmish mode maps are now available to play: Mortain and SMdM

Please scroll down for the full changelog and U15 information, including a look at the new German “Oak Leaf” Paid DLC.

 

About Mortain

Mortain sits in a shallow valley – where the US rallied against German troops amid Operation Lüttich. The battle took place in August 1944, in Normandy, France.

Units from the 30th Division, including the 2nd Battalion, 120th Infantry, and two tank destroyer platoons, were dispatched to relieve the 1st Battalion, 18th Infantry. Their directive was to defend the town of Mortain, strategically utilising Hill 314 (also known as MontJoie) as a tactical defensive and overlook position.

During Operation Lüttich the town was destroyed, left in ruins with only a few buildings standing. The destroyed version of the town will be featured in the map.

Offering a plethora of notable locations – both historical and natural – Mortain features themes of contrasting areas throughout. Rock formations permeate the map alongside hilly areas of countryside and farmland.

 

Mortain – New Map

Mortain - Environment Art

It brings the team great pleasure to finally release Update 15 and our new map, Mortain.

Since joining the project, the team at Expression Games have worked with our partners to deliver a map that offers a new and exciting world to experience in Hell Let Loose, while honouring the legacy that Black Matter had left for us.

Being our first map release, we wanted to gather feedback from the community early on, and as previously mentioned in other briefings, we cannot thank you all enough for supporting the PTEs that helped shape this map. Hell Let Loose has one of the most dedicated fanbases within online gaming, and although there have been some challenges bringing it to the standard previous Normandy maps have set, you have been instrumental towards its development and have made us accountable in creating quality gameplay and visuals.

Since the last PTE, the Environment Art team have been focused on fixing as many bugs and visual issues as possible for release, as well as incorporating some new dressing and polish. We have also supported Technical Art in producing some crucial optimisations, within Mortain and in particular textures across the game. We hope that these efforts mean you’ll enjoy the varied terrain and vast forestry of Mortain at its best performance yet.

To read the developer briefing from the PTE, which has additional details about Mortain Environment Art, Level Design and Front End Updates, click here.

During the last Mortain PTE, there was a known issue where aiming down sights caused noticeable discrepancies between LODs across the map, with foliage, in particular, losing shadows or changing silhouette significantly. This is an issue that is present across the game, however, due to the high contrast lighting used in Mortain, this was much more noticeable to the point where this was impacting gameplay, particularly with longer-range weaponry. There was a collaboration between Code, Technical Art and Environment Art to look into this issue, and a fix was finally found and implemented by Gage Griffiths - Senior Programmer at Expression Games.

The fix consists of two console commands that are run when you join a game within Mortain. To keep performance across Xbox Series S/X, PS5 and PC consistent, different values for these commands are set based on the platform.

Firstly, the density of foliage was scaled down slightly across the map. This was fine-tuned to ensure there is not a noticeable loss in visual quality, but enough to where we retain performance. The commands and values we used for this are:

PC - foliage.DensityScale 0.8
Console - foliage.DensityScale 0.65

Secondly, Unreal Engine uses a calculation based on how much of the screen a particular asset takes up, to determine what level of detail that asset renders. When you aim down sight, a tree appears larger on the screen so the game renders a high-detail version of it, but when you stop looking down sights the tree takes up less of the screen so a lower-detail version is rendered instead.

The fix essentially alters the distance from the player where the higher detail foliage would swap to a lower detail asset. These are not exact figures, but as an example, previously a tree may have been 10,000 triangles at 10 metres away, swapping to 5000 triangles at 20 metres. This has shifted so that the tree would still be 10000 triangles at 20 metres away, with the swap to 5000 triangles happening at 40 metres, meaning a tree has to be much further away before the lower detail asset is rendered.

The exact values we set are:

PC - foliage.LODDistanceScale 2
Console - foliage.LODDistanceScale 1.3

The results of our testing are extremely positive, and we hope that if you managed to play Mortain during a previous PTE you will notice that this is a huge improvement from before.

As this is an issue that has been in the game for a long time across all maps, and the results have been promising on Mortain, I can confirm that this is a fix that we are looking to implement across the entire game, which should improve foliage LOD issues on all maps. We are also confident that this would bring huge improvements to some urban maps, in particular, Stalingrad, as a large portion of the map including buildings are technically rendered as foliage, which was a performance-saving technique used by Black Matter.

Due to this being a game-wide change, we want to ensure there is adequate testing and feedback before it’s live across all maps, so Mortain will be the only map in Update 15 to support this change. However, if feedback is positive and the consensus is that assets are ‘popping’ less for players without performance impact, this is something we are eager to implement in a future update for all maps.

We have made every effort to ensure Mortain is ready for release, but if you experience any issues while playing, please don’t hesitate to give feedback through the appropriate discord channels or social media. The team frequently reads comments and shares videos with each other, so if there are any comments or issues you have surrounding the map we want to hear them.

Lastly, I’m pleased to share and hope you enjoy some final renders of Mortain. I’m incredibly proud of what the team has produced, and I hope these images showcase a new benchmark for content in Hell Let Loose going forward.

Mortain - Technical Art

The Technical Art team have been fine-tuning the performance around the Mortain town area to accommodate the additional enterable buildings. This was a combination of LOD merging, forced distance culling and removing shadow casters on any object already in shadow. This was to ensure we retained the detail and storytelling of the interiors while reducing the cost of the extra detail.

Throughout the town, the Environment Art team made a wonderful set of modular destroyed building assets, creating a wide variety whilst keeping material and texture costs to a minimum. This, in turn, meant that we had smaller assets, however, this also increased the mesh draw calls, especially with shadow and occlusion checks. To address this as we did not want to create combined render meshes driving up the memory cost and with that texture cost, we created a series of shadow proxy assets that were lower in complexity and limited to one simple shader meaning a single shadow and occlusion call.

Many combinations of walls and buildings benefited from a Hierarchical Instanced Static Meshes pass, similar to that done with buildings in El Alamein (HISM is an instancing method that allows for better memory performance, supports LODs with good asset culling which results in better rendering performance).

On this map, we also limited the use of HLODs (Hierarchical LODs). One of the drawbacks to using HLODs extensively was increased memory overheads. This was limited to the town area and only used for medium-sized buildings.

In addition, the Technical Art team ensured that there were no unnecessary occlusion checks and unique assets, which were not adding to storytelling to save on mesh and texture memory.

To create a believable atmosphere for the destroyed part of town, we had to take into account the amount of dust that would be present in the air. However, adding a large number of dust particle effects can negatively impact performance due to overlapping translucent sprites creating overdraw.

To achieve the desired effect, we decided to create a fog to simulate the presence of thick dust around the buildings. Since using volumetric fog would cover the entire map, we opted for shader-based localized fog volumes instead. By placing a single volume over the destroyed area and adjusting the shader controls, we were able to control the fog's height, density, and colour. This approach helped to achieve the desired effect without the need for a large number of particles.

Although the fog worked well, it lacked movement. To fix this issue, we added a few variations of dust particles. However, we kept these fairly limited and added a couple of shader tricks to improve performance. The main shader trick we used was to scale the sprites down based on the player's distance from the effect, which reduced overdraw. Scaling the sprites down to nothing eliminated any render cost.

We also had to be mindful of when the player walks through the dust particles. Lots of large translucent sprites filling the screen could significantly impact performance. To tackle this problem, we used a similar method as the distance from the player. Only in this instance, we faded the alpha and scaled the particles as you moved through them, reducing the chance of frame drops. Having long sightlines with lots of particles could be costly. However, a combination of optimized VFX with a few shader tricks allowed us to create an area that looked heavy in dust with minimal impact on performance.

Sainte-Marie-du-Mont – Map Updates

To coincide with the release of a Control Skirmish mode for Sainte-Marie-du-Mont, we looked into issues commonly brought up about the map as a whole across various community forums. Keeping in mind that the map is a fan favourite we chose to focus solely on the most impactful changes, those being to address the lack of enterable areas within the town and the inaccessible Brécourt Manor courtyard.

When tackling the updates to the town centre in Sainte-Marie-du-Mont, we started by focusing internal playtests on just that space. Utilising feedback from these playtests, along with community sentiment derived from various social media platforms, we were able to help find and improve the key problems on just those areas of the map.

Our biggest focus was on increasing the overall playable space around the town, helping to provide more routes into and out of the capture point. This increase in playable space also lends itself to creating more viable outpost/garrison placement options, and more flanking opportunities for attackers and defenders alike. Within these newly opened spaces, additional enterable buildings were placed to further increase the opportunities for attackers and defenders to seize the capture area around the church.

The above GIF showcases the reduction in blocking volumes throughout the town centre, in turn showing the extent of the newly opened space. These changes should not only improve navigation throughout the town but also help drastically reduce instances of being stopped from entering an area because of an invisible wall.

The following images show before and after shots of the four main quadrants of the town, North West, North East, South East and South West. The areas captured highlight the largest scale changes to the playable space, with new routes that lead directly into the town.

Sainte-Marie-du-Mont – Control Skirmish

The set-up for this Control Skirmish mode is focused around the Cattlesheds capture point from Warfare and Offensive, allowing us to capture a nice balance of spaces that should make both infantry and vehicle combat intense.

The bocages surrounding the Cattlesheds provide cover and routes into the capture point and the space within it provides engineers ample opportunity to bolster your team’s defences.

For tanks, the nearby open fields afford the space to bombard the opposition from a distance, or to act as support for the infantry pushing the objective.

Oak Leaf [Paid]

Also known as Eichenlaubmuster, this was one of the many types of camouflage patterns used by several divisions within the German forces. Often worn in the autumn, it is unique with its distinct colourisation.

For players, wishing to combine this uniform and match it with headwear of the same pattern, we would recommend using the Leopard Covered M42 helmet, already available, in-game.

Multiversus’ Roster Now Outnumbers Multiversus’ Fanbase

Posted on by Nick Coffman

BURBANK, Calif. — With the recent addition of Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th series, and Agent Smith from The Matrix series, Multiversus roster now exceeds its fanbase in total numbers with 27 characters. 

I sat down with a few of those fans to discuss the return of the IP whoring brawler and to get the lowdown on the Multiversus scene.

“It’s like each of us is getting a character all to ourselves,” said Thomas Shrek, a college freshman rocking a Marvin the Martian t-shirt. “Every time I close my eyes there’s someone new on the roster. It makes me really hopeful for future DLC characters. Like I think they’ll add Walter White from Breaking Bad, or Eleven from Stranger Things.”

The room collectively nodded in agreement at Shrek’s DLC wishlist. After explaining intellectual property rights and the limitations of Warner Brothers Discovery, I proceeded to question the fanbase about the roster and what they thought of the game’s return after a year-long hiatus.

“They called us fools for sticking around. Who’s the fool now?” Terry Philips, a comic illustrator in a Steven Universe t-shirt, shouted to the heavens. “We all awaited its return and now we shall be granted a main of our own for our patience and loyalty. All we need now is the twenty-seventh fan that the prophecy foretold of. He is a LeBron James main and he will make us whole.”

Philips approached me, continuing to shout nonsense about a twenty-seventh fan. He grabbed me and I shoved him to the ground. In the struggle, he ripped the button-down shirt I wear for interviews, revealing my Miami Heat jersey that doubles as a good undershirt. The fans in the room let out an ear-piercing screech. My ears filled with pain as more screeches started up in the distance. The room fell silent after what felt like hours. All eyes were on me.

“Twenty-Seven. We’ve been waiting for you,” the fans said in sync. “Each character now has their player. The game is complete. Join us. Join us and we can create a community of peace, tranquility, and of speculating characters the developers will deliver to us as DLC gifts from the heavens. With this control you are one of us, and we are all one. Welcome, brother.”

At press time, I prophesied to my brothers that Don Draper of Mad Men and Michonne from The Walking Dead would soon join the Multiversus’ roster.

SCUM Update Patch Notes May 22

Posted on by Michelle Pereira

SCUM received a major patch on April 30, and these are the patch notes for subsequent hotfixes through May 22, in descending order, from latest to oldest:

 

UPDATED May 22

 

 

SCUM – Hotfix 0.9.536.86452 May 22

Hey hey all! Might as well call us MJ of hotfixes because we got 6 of em at this point. Check it out!

  • Fixed the issue where magazine would be destroyed during reload animation causing a game crash.
  • Fixed the issue where fortifications would sometimes cause a crash.
  • Fixed the issue where #VisualizeVehicleTrajectory command could cause a crash.
  • Fixed the issue where database would show errors regarding chest acquisition.
  • Fixed the issue where throwing grenades in events could cause a client crash.
  • Potential fix for the super loud nocturnal wildlife SFX.
  • Fixed the issue where abandoned bunker armory lockers would not properly reset loot.

 

  • Tweaked vehicle storage collision, giving them more wiggle room to fit in garages.
  • Objects that are not affected by gravity can now be spawned with #spawnitem command +/-10m in regards of ground level.
  • Key cards no longer spawn in abandoned bunker armory lockers.

 

 

SCUM – Hotfix 0.9.535.85943 May 10

5th day of the week for a 5th hotfix, it's like poetry, it rhymes. New Hotfix is live!

  • Fixed the issue where SDASS ADS would glitch out in some cases.
  • Fixed the issue where floor blueprints would turn red after adjacent blueprint was finished.
  • Fixed a chest duplication bug.
  • Fixed the issue where improvised workbench icon would not show in crafting menu.

 

  • Small vehicle storage racks will take less physical collision damage while mounted on bikes and bicycles.
  • Improved Police station HTZ puppet respawning.

 

Known issue:

Chests could count as more BB elements. Temp solution: in your flag area put chests in your hands and place them back on the ground.

 

 

SCUM – Hotfix 0.9.534.85819 May 8

Hey everyone, got a couple of goodies for you. We gathered a couple of fixes for yet another hotfix! Check it out!

  • Fixed the issue where heavy chests disappeared when taken in hands from vehicles.
  • Fixed the issue where moving a chest in a vehicle while on BB foundation, would destroy the foundation.
  • Fixed the issue where you could not place a foundation next to an upgraded wall.
  • Fixed the issue where compound bow aim would not zoom when fully drawn.
  • Fixed the issue where chests placed inside flag areas would sometimes give server errors.
  • Fixed the issue where server would crash on shutdown.
  • Fixed the issue where players could not drive big rafts if someone is already mounted on them.
  • Fixed the issue where admin drones could not see BB element health.
  • Fixed the issue where admin drones could not destroy some BB elements.
  • Fixed some item incorrect descriptions and icons.
  • Fixed the issue where chests would stay afloat in air if BB element was destroyed below them in SP.

 

  • Canned items can no longer spawn with less than maximum uses.

 

 

SCUM – Hotfix 0.9.533.85678 May 3

Hey folks, end of the week does not mean an early weekend for us. So here is yet another hotfix with the most critical issues, check it out!

  • Fixed the issue where rafts not in water would be falsely flagged as flying.
  • Fixed the issue where equipping items directly from small vehicle storage would make them dissapear.
  • Fixed the issue where vehicles would fall under raid protection when inside flag area.
  • Fixed the issue where chests would not be raid protected if built before the flag was placed.
  • Fixed the issue where chests would increase active BB elements on restart.
  • Fixed the issue where chests placed on foundation could sometimes cause a server crash.

 

Known issues:

  • Quickly pulling chests out and in of car inventory could cause them to disappear. To minimize this issue, slowly take chests one by one out until properly fixed.
  • Chests show maximum 65kg weight while in containers. If the chest has more than 80kg, on take in hands action it will get stuck in the middle of the vehicle. To avoid this, put it on the floor first until properly fixed.
  • Sometimes chests that are put in vehicle inventory while being on foundations will break the foundations.

 

 

SCUM – Hotfix 0.9.532.85622 May 2

Hey everyone! We're keeping a close eye on the valuable feedback you're giving us, which is why we're delivering another quick hotfix. We're looking into some other things that were mentioned and we'd like to kindly ask for a bit of your patience until we manage to adequately sort them out.

  • Fixed the issue where the prisoner could be locked in combat mode after dropping ranged weapons.
  • Fixed the issue where base building walls sometimes could not be placed on inclined terrain.
  • Fixed an issue where players were unable to install the vehicle inventory expansion attachment in service mode on other vehicles than Rager.
  • Fixed an issue where players were unable to put the Dirtbike on the Car Jack when it is missing the rear wheel.
  • Fixed an issue where dropping items to the vicinity from the vehicle inventory would not work when the vehicle has an inventory expansion attachment installed.
  • Fixed an issue where the passenger camera would change to a smaller FOV when the vehicle is going really fast.
  • Fixed an issue with the collision of the big raft inventory expansion.
  • Fixed an issue where the owner of a base building element wasn't properly shown in drone mode.
  • Fixed an issue where the prisoner would randomly T-pose when mounting a big raft passenger slot.
  • Vehicle inventory expansion collisions are now disabled when there is no vehicle inventory expansion installed.
  • Fixed an issue where entering the raft option from the context menu would not execute correctly.
  • Fixed an issue with the bunny slippers panini in first person.
  • Fixed and issue where base building elements and the grill grid would not interact properly.
  • Fixed the issue where dropping chests from vehicles would destroy BB elements.

 

  • Flying vehicle cheat detection will now kick the player instead of banning them.
  • Adjusted the drift of the SUP and the Small Raft when moving forward with each paddle cycle.

 

  • Implemented puppet health multiplier server setting.
The setting will be located under the [World] section of the server settings. With this setting, players will have the option to globally modify the health of the puppets. Also, this setting will not require a server restart for it to take effect as the setting dynamically modifies the health of puppets on the server and multiplies it with the value that you set. Here's some more info on the range of the values for it:
scum.PuppetHealthMultiplier
Default value - 1.0
Min. value - 0.01
Max. value - 100.0
Quick note - the default health values for various puppet types stay the same. This means that muscular/heavy puppets will always have more health in comparison with the skinny puppets, regardless of the multiplier that you set.
Also, suicide puppets will be affected by the health modification, so make sure to take that into account in order to avoid any surprises.

 

Known bugs

  • Items equipped directly from small storage rack will disappear. Make sure to take them out first.
  • Locks disappear from prefab buildings on relog in Singleplayer.

 

 

SCUM – Hotfix 0.9.531.85517 May 1

Hey everyone, we are releasing a small emergency hotfix regarding fatal errors and crashes, so update your game all! Also all players affected with the false ban have been unbanned.

  • Fixed the issue where selling vehicle expansions while attached to vehicles would cause a server crash.
  • Fixed the issue where repairing vehicle parts through vicinity icon would cause a client crash.
  • Fixed the issues where bicycles could be logged incorrectly in the flying vehicle log.

 

Note: Selling inventory attachments will only be possible from service lift for now.

 

Those are all the patch notes through May 22 for SCUM.

ICC Issues Arrest Warrant for Cast, Crew Of “The Big Bang Theory”

Posted on by Thomas Wilde

THE HAGUE — The International Criminal Court announced that it will seek warrants for the arrest of all cast and crew involved with the American sitcom The Big Bang Theory and its spinoffs.

 ICC prosecutor Karim Khan held a press conference revealing the intention to bring the cast and crew to justice. 

“We figured we’d swing for the fences,” said Khan to a slightly confused press. “2024 is the year we start checking things off the ICC’s bucket list. We’re going to arrest some war criminals, end a couple of regional conflicts, and finally bring a stop to the waking nightmare that is Chuck Lorre’s career.”

Added Khan, “How does a sitcom run for 12 seasons without ever telling an actual joke? Who the hell was watching that?”

While some were confused over the ICC’s move, various experts weighed in.

“Big Bang Theory, ran from Sept. 2007 to May 2019.  For nearly 12 years on the air, it somehow won multiple Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe, which is proof of the spiritual decay of Western civilization,” said sociologist Warren Calvera.

“Nobody knows how Lorre does it,” said TV critic and historian Elias Patinkin. “His shows are usually neurotoxic in small doses, but somehow they’re also ratings gold. Charlie Sheen left Two and a Half Men and it still kept running for three seasons. Young Sheldon was a pox on all who witnessed it for 7 years and now the next Big Bang spinoff, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage will wage war against the human psyche this fall on CBS. Frankly, we have to be open to the possibility of demonic contracts.”

While the ICC’s move against The Big Bang Theory has been derided by international critics, who argue that the ICC has got to have better things to do with its time, it’s been met with widespread acclaim from young people in English-speaking countries.

“My grandmother told me that I remind her of Sheldon Cooper,” said college student Rodney Schaeffer, who attended a pro-ICC demonstration in New York City on Monday night. “No one else should have to suffer through that. If the U.S. government won’t do something, at least the ICC will.”

At press time, the ICC plans to also issue arrest warrants to AI artists, Ernest Cline, various members of the Super Smash Bros. Melee pro circuit, and anyone who has ever sold weed to Kevin Smith.

WWE King and Queen of the Ring 2024 Card: All confirmed matches

Posted on by Jake Skudder

WWE King and Queen of the Ring is set to take place this Saturday, and the full card for the event has now been confirmed.

Five matches were confirmed for the show ahead of time, the same amount as the Backlash event from France last month.

Among those were the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match between Cody Rhodes and Logan Paul, which was originally believed to also be for Paul’s US Championship, which he later revealed on SmackDown was not the case.

WWE King and Queen of the Ring 2024 Card

Here is the full card for the event:

  • Undisputed WWE Universal Championship Match: Cody Rhodes vs. Logan Paul
  • WWE Intercontinental Championship Match: Sami Zayn vs. Bronson Reed vs. Chad Gable
  • Women’s World Championship Match: Becky Lynch vs. Liv Morgan
  • King of the Ring Tournament Finals: Gunther vs. Randy Orton OR Tama Tonga
  • Queen of the Ring Tournament Finals: Lyra Valkyria vs. Bianca Belair OR Nia Jax

The card is taking place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The country has been accused of ‘sportswashing’ by several notable names in the media as well as fans of pro wrestling, boxing and MMA. Sportswashing is a phrase used to describe the practice of nations, corporations, or governments using sports/entertainment to improve global reputations.

WWE King and Queen of the Ring: Why are WWE events in Saudi Arabia controversial?

WWE has an ongoing business relationship with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which is worth in the tens of millions for the company to produce shows multiple times a year in the region.

This has been described as part of Saudi Arabia’s ongoing ‘sportswashing’ attempts with major PPV boxing, MMA and pro wrestling events taking place in the country recently, seemingly as a form of marketing and rehabbing the global image of the Kingdom.
