​The new Elemental War update is now available and adds several new maps! The half has been submitted by our community during our map contest, the other half are maps from the team.

Besides that there were the usual improvements and fixes. We discovered a huge bug that caused the wrong lighting settings being used. It doesn’t make a difference on the visual side, but might affect performance on some systems (so it’s probably better now). Couldn’t measure a big difference on my machine in the benchmark though, but my fps are weird for a while now, I guess it’s some driver issue.

Full changelog

• added 10 maps from the community into the official map pool

What’s next?

The next weeks/months we’re mainly working on the Xbox port of Elemental War. We will keep up the updates for the PC version as long as bugs occur or there is something to improve. Some of the stuff we need to implement for Xbox will also be interesting for the PC version, so you can expect it to be available there too and even earlier.

If you have any balancing concerns or bugs, please let us know, either as comment, in the discussions, via the Feedback functionality ingame or on Discord​.
