WELCOME



Greetings, friends and fellow Necromunda: Underhive Wars players -

As always, we hope that this message finds you well.

It’s a huge pleasure for us to be back today with another major update, Patch 1.1.0.22, which comes with more than 100 new improvements and fixes to the game!

Together with the 150+ tickets already addressed by last month’s 1.1.0.0 Patch, this new update will continue to improve your experience with the game, and we’re certain that you’ll be able to feel its effects as you dive back into the Underhive!

Just like last time, we’ve got quite a lot to cover today, so let’s jump right in, shall we?

PATCH 1.1.0.22 SUMMARY



As with the previous patch, we have mostly been focusing on community feedback and reports, as well as our own internal QA tests, in order to identify the priority fixes to address in this new update. Here is a short summary of the 4 major pillars on which the Dev Team’s efforts were primarily concentrated for Patch 1.1.0.22:

  • AI Improvements (+Pacing)
  • Fixing Crashes
  • Fixing Soft-Blocks
  • Fixing Bugs


We have begun working on the much-requested AI Improvements, many of which have also improved the game’s pacing by significantly reducing the AI’s decision-making time in various circumstances. All in all, we’ve worked on making all AI-controlled fighters smarter and more aggressive throughout - an important undertaking which we’ll continue to iterate on in upcoming updates.

Like before, we have also put a considerable amount of effort in order to remove game-breaking blockers, as well as continued to fix numerous crashes and bugs on all platforms.

Finally, this new patch also brings a host of various balancing and quality-of-life improvements, such as finally fixing the Invert X and Y options on both Gamepads and Mouse+Keyboard, as well as adding the video option to turn Motion Blur on/off - two elements that were requested by many community members.

As always, you can find the complete and comprehensive 1.1.0.22 Patch Notes at the end of this update post - these will provide you with a detailed list of the 100+ tickets that are included with this new update.



PATCH 1.1.0.22 RELEASE WINDOW



If you’re reading this message, the update should already be LIVE.

If your game is set to update automatically, you should now see version 1.1.0.22 in the lower corner of the Main Menu. Previous saves should be 100% compatible.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR NECROMUNDA: UNDERHIVE WARS?



With the 250+ fixes and improvements from 1.1.0.0 and 1.1.0.22 now fully deployed, we’re already turning our sights towards the next update (1.2), which is currently planned for December.

Our plan is to continue working on the AI front, while also continuing to monitor all community channels in order to gather and address your feedback.

We’ve also heard rumours - whispers of a new gang emerging from the shadows of the underhive, eager to claim territory and resources for their House. Unfortunately, none of the scouts we’ve sent out to gather intel have returned - and it seems the only bodies we could recover were strangely irradiated, leading to their quick disposal. Our investigation continues, with new “volunteers” being dispatched daily.

In the meantime, if you encounter any errors with this new version, please don’t hesitate to report them on our Steam or Focus Home Interactive Technical Forums - we continue to read everything with attention, and your community-driven tickets are always one of the main driving forces behind the title’s updates.

You can also consult our detailed Bug Reporting Guide if you would like to know how to join your logs and save files to your reports - these play a big part in helping us to quickly reproduce, isolate and fix bugs of all kinds.



THANK YOU!



As always, we would like to thank you very much for your time, patience, participation, continued support and feedback.

We sincerely hope that you’ve enjoyed reading today’s update, and we’re convinced that you’ll love all the improvements added to the game with the new patch. Speaking of which, the complete 1.1.0.22 patch notes now await you below.

With this, we wish you all a great day, and we’ll see you in the Underhive!

Best regards,
- The Rogue Factor Dev Team

  • (AI) Improved the AI's decision-making process in order to make AI-controlled Fighters take better, more aggressive decisions overall.
  • (AI) Improved the AI's behaviour in Defend HQ missions, so that AI-controlled Fighters will no longer stay within their walls and passively wait for the attackers. They will, instead, actively seek out and engage the attacking enemies.
  • (AI) Verified + fixed the AI's ability to traverse all vaultable props, as well made sure that the AI considers these movement options in pathfinding calculations.
  • (AI) AI-controlled Fighters will now properly attack and destroy Barricades (player-built or otherwise) that block their path to Resources, Objectives and Extraction Zones.
