Update soon?

Does anyone know if the game sold well for a Cyanide-published title? I wonder how financially successful it is.

 

[Durandal]

According to Steamspy, around 120k. Dunno how much refunds factor into that.

 

[Papa Môlé]

I played through it once on the regular difficulty then tried going through a replay on the harder one and finding all the relics but the game doesn't really hold up all that well and the multiplayer is too bare bones to hold interest, especially for something that was advertised as being primarily a co-op game (and the reason I actually bought it).

 

[Major_Blackhart]

That's too bad actually.

 

[Gepeu]

It's unfortunate to see this game flop so hard.

I predicted this month's ago

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Still unfortunate.

Been waiting for the first big patch to be released to get back into this, which is coming soon as Durandal linked.

Game was released way too early and I don't know how much longer MP aspect and game can live without major update.

 

[Freddie]

Beta patch it out. Tried it a bit.

Single player is much more smoother now, lighting and some other stuff got some rework. Game looks as good as ever. Beta patch is about 10 gigs.

MP is also smoother, there is still noticeable hiccup when game loads enemy models, but overall MP also works better. I played just 3 MP games, all on different host and noticed that network lag or host PC configuration makes a huge difference to experience. Two matches went really well, but the last one had FPS issues and hitbox issues. Game also crashed first time I tried to join in game so it looks like crashes may still happen when hosted session is loading next chapter.

There are other issues remaining. Some stuff in MP lobby UI. Some achievements still won't work. Devs no about these but stability and performance has been first concern. I hope it still get more patches because there appear to be places where FPS drops without any visible reason.

The big question remains if game can rebuilt it's online community. I didn't see but one active MP game at once, but weekend is probably going to tell more if there are people still playing this.

Streum On should drop this turd and start working on EYE 2 instead.

Update 4 Release
9 MARCH - NETHEOS

Greetings Librarians,

We're pleased to release the update 4 for Space Hulk: Deathwing.

This patch brings a host of fixes and improvements – we’d like to extend a huge thanks to all players that have played the beta and given us feedback. Your help has been extremely useful in the continued improvement of our game.

Our first priority after the release was to fix the most urgent technical issues. That's why the main changes of this patch are technical fixes - we updated the graphical engine and rebuilt all the levels.

Here is a short list of features and improvements of the update:

• More weapons in Multiplayer – this includes the addition of the Heavy Flamer and Hellfire.
  
• Expanded class loadouts in Multiplayer – each class has more choice of what to bring into battle!
  
• Improved multiplayer load times – simultaneous loading time for all players.
  
• Performance improvements.
  
• Loading time improvements.
  
• General stability improvements.
  
• Multiplayer experience improvements.
  
• Improved Anti-Aliasing options.
  
• Hardware-related issues Fixes (on AMD GC).

That's only the first step and there are still many more exciting things to come, as we’ll be supporting our game with free content updates throughout the year.

We'll now focus on improving gameplay and content based on your feedback since launch - replay value and multiplayer long term progression are our main priorities.

They bring updates faster than for EYE DC (last one appeared 3? years after release).

 

[LESS T_T]

New update arrives today, and re-launch (and console releases) as Enhanced Edition is coming:

SPACE HULK: DEATHWING LAUNCHES RETURN TO OLETHROS UPDATE, UNVEILS UPCOMING CLASS CUSTOMISATION

Available for 40% off on Steam 13-16 June, Enhanced Edition releases on consoles and PC in Q4 2017

Space Hulk: Deathwing, the FPS from Streum On Studio set in the Warhammer 40K universe, continues its series of free content patches today with the Return to Olethros update. These updates are building to the launch of the Enhanced Edition on PC and consoles in Q4 2017, with all content provided free for existing and future owners of Space Hulk: Deathwing on PC. The game is available on sale at 40% off on Steam this week, from 13-16 June.

Today’s Return to Olethros update brings the well-received Special Missions mode to every Chapter in the game, in both solo and multiplayer. This mode generates randomized objectives and enemy spawns, bringing a new level of uncertainty and replayability for even the most seasoned squads of Space Hulk veterans.

We are also excited to unveil more information about the Class Customisation system that will be making its way to the Enhanced Edition. After completing a Chapter (in solo Special Missions or multiplayer), players will gain XP that contributes to earning Loot Reclusiam. These can be opened in order to gain a class-specific customisation item, as well as in-game currency to spend on unlocking individual items. These items include:

• Armour skins and Runes – Skins give each Class a variety of striking looks, while Runes grant various passive gameplay effects, which can mixed and matched.
• Weapon skins and Attachments - including bayonets, decals, enhanced scopes, cannon barrels, and more that affect both gameplay and weapon appearances.
• Class Perks – offering unique, powerful passives for every class that give even more playstyle options.
• Banners – players can show their commitment to the Emperor’s glory, by proudly placing one of a number of banners on the battlefield.

All aspects of the Loot Reclusiam and Class Customisation are earned entirely in-game, with no microtransactions. We’ll announce more upcoming features and additions as the Enhanced Edition’s release draws closer.

The Return to Olethros content update is available today, in a free download for all existing and future owners of Space Hulk: Deathwing on Steam.

Space Hulk: Deathwing will arrive on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One Q4 2017 as an Enhanced Edition, including additional content. This content will be included in a series of free updates for PC players.

Does anyone even still play that? I mean, nice that they're not abandoning their software, but...
I hope they survive this and bring more weird stuff like EYE.

 

[Cyberarmy]

Meh.

I tried to find games during weekend but didn't had that much of luck. Got one game run by hosting myself. Didn't get special missions (they were implemented only in 1 st. chapter in non beta patch). Don't know if I have much patience left for this game any more.
