Update 30Apr 15, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHey Folks, This update has been coming for a long time! Let's get started on what's included in this update. Autumn https://media2.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExb200ZWRpeWg2amc5ZWQ0M3M3a2prM2d1ZncxbmI4eWJ1aW5lamJnYSZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/uUV6ujTzMkDcwsN4rX/giphy.gif War is brought to Scotland's doorstep in the most peculiar of cities. Autumn is loosely based on the capital city of Edinburgh. The citizens quickly evacuated as the insurgent forces descended into the town square to set up a base. The eerie feeling of an empty major city without its home residents provides a haunting reminder of the cost of war. Carnival https://media2.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExMmxubTI1YmNxMXIwaW51djFwNzNoaHI4amFjZnlxcjZjbGR6YmF0bCZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/RbiO22KwWGLx52W3Wv/giphy.gif Carnival is an abandoned amusement park in Macedonia. The company hired thrill ride partners from North America to expand quickly, but due to the licensing structure of these partnerships and poor financial planning, the park was doomed to return to nature. The park eventually folded to become an occupied zone for a military forward operating base for special forces. Modkit We have now shipped the newest iteration of our modkit with many new features that we’re particularly excited about. We created the new modkit to give the modding community even more control and make collaboration between multiple authors easier and more straightforward. This is done through the mod.io dependencies feature. Content mods are a form of dependencies we have set up to automatically download if a custom game mode, map, or community server calls for them. You cannot run content mods directly in a lobby, but if you have a custom game mode that calls these mods, you can hot-load them in lobbies through this method. This means cross-functional mods from different authors run at the same time. Authors no longer need to share their mods by creating plug-ins or zipping up project files and manually exporting/importing them back into the engine. Someone made a jump mod, and you want to use it? Add it as a dependency, and you're done. There is no limit to the number of dependencies you can have, but we recommend taking care not to overload your server or content with dependencies. Please read our guide on Mod.io for more information on how dependencies work. Separating content mods from maps also has another added benefit. If you place all of your map assets into a content mod and create a map that calls the content dependency, you can now compile your map and upload it without uploading your assets all over again. This can make lighting builds and map adjustments much more rapid. Dependencies aren't the only thing we have added; custom items and weapons can now be added to the buy menu. We have also exposed more variables to the game logic to open the game up to modders and content creators. See the full patch notes below for details. We have been working with promin...Pavlov News - November 2023Nov 28, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsPavlov Shack has finally shipped to the Meta Quest store! This is going to benefit the PC version in the next release due to our continued work towards optimizing the game. We have also addressed other quality of life enhancements, such as improving voice chat. That’s not all; while we were working on delivering the shack build with the engineering team, our art team spent the better part of 2023 crafting some of the most detailed maps we have created to date! Both of these maps have been created for the SnD community and are designed with Search and Destroy, as many of our other maps. New maps https://media2.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExYXgwNGMxbnB4YW9yMzZiZWI5anc2NmZqczgyd3ltcm9rZmd5bDI1bCZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/sYit8kbuK2mkVbsEFo/giphy.gif Autumn is set in a Scottish town, once a bustling hub of maritime commerce, but now serves as a main town square for its local residents. Despite the decline of its maritime glory, it retained its charm, its spirit unyielding. Fall leaves littering the streets with golden shafts of light piercing the windows. https://media1.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExbGpuZGkzeXR6emFuZ3g0bHZlMGw5anF3YWZuaHBzcDhlaGx1ZGtpZiZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/aPQ9yaoaLuAtmilWC0/giphy.gif Carnival is an abandoned eastern European amusement park that is far away from its joyful days of delighting guests with thrills and joy. Dilapidated buildings are littered with vandalism from the new generation of graffiti artists who discovered a massive canvas ripe for tagging. They still aren’t quite ready yet however, there are still some areas that need to be fully polished, as well as optimization passes to merge assets down, QA test, and locate bugs before we can deliver this update to the players. Update timing We expect the next update to be early next year. Modkit What's even more exciting is the new modkit 3.0 functionality that will make custom content much better for both the creators trying to ship content, as well as the players who will benefit from the mod cross pollination with the new dependency system. We are also going to raise the community server player cap to help other custom mods that utilize large landscapes with dispersed players flourish, such as Ma7cus’s popular Resurgence mod. You can find more information on the new modkit by reading our article on Road to VR. Jared Plush {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/27034643/2812c22e78899b4fe4c353648e01bdebc28ea628.png We have partnered with Makeship to make a plush version of our company mascot, Jared!

Snag one before it ends! https://www.makeship.com/products/jared-plush The best Counter-Strike 2 alternative comes with a catchNov 27, 2023 - PCGamesNFinding a solid alternative to Counter-Strike 2 wasn't easy. Perseverance, however, has led me to discover a game that just gets the mechanics, action, and competitive spirit of Valve's FPS - and, for me, eclipses CS2's current version in some ways. That game is Pavlov Shack, which is first and foremost a team-based multiplayer shooter with realistic weapon handling and a decently high skill ceiling. The caveat? It's a VR game. Read the rest of the story... RELATED LINKS: Virtual reality Counter-Strike is real thanks to Pavlov VR mods Update 29.1Aug 7, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsThis update brings quite a number of fixes and enhancements to Pavlov. We have addressed the issues with the audio and audio devices not being recognized. We have also fixed quite a number of unique issues with controllers due to the switch to OpenXR input.

The physics system has additionally changed to Chaos. The benefits of upgrading the engine will become more apparent as the modders embrace better workflows and new engine features to make development much more enjoyable. Lobby overhaul & Crossplay with Playstation VR2 https://media0.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExNGY5MGU2YTEyMjA0YzlkNjYxMjNlOTBmN2ZjODMyNDIwNGY1YjU1ZiZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZzX2dpZklkJmN0PWc/5yaC6Hz32GYoLcQ8dR/giphy.gif You can now play the standard maps and game modes with PS5 players via crossplay. No downgrades were necessary! Additionally, we overhauled the lobby and server browser experience to make more information accessible. Maps https://media1.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExZTQ1ZDkyNmRmNjQ2MDZkM2UwZmVlY2RkNDc3ODhkYTMyMmQ0ODEyNCZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZzX2dpZklkJmN0PWc/itNiCfDhvcgrL20FO0/giphy.gif Sand has been completely overhauled and brought up to our current standards. The layout and theme is identical in keeping the spirit of the original. We have also added new “massacre” or night versions of Datacenter, Siberia, and Container Yard for the horror-sided game modes such as Zombies, Hide, and Infection. New characters https://media2.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExMDJiOGRmOThhMWY4NDY5NTgyN2ZkNmEzNGMzNGQzM2JlY2JjZTZhYyZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZzX2dpZklkJmN0PWc/MiuJq14qNZ2tJ9g2nO/giphy.gif We now have a full ten-character roster for modern game modes. This has been something that has been a long time coming but quite a time-consuming effort to get here. Players will be randomly assigned a skin at the start of a match for the modern game modes. Retiring Steam Workshop and In-Game Mod Browser As a result of upgrading the engine for Pavlov, all previously made content on the older version of Pavlov has been made incompatible. We used this opportunity to change our CDN for custom maps and mods. With that, we have vastly improved the in-game mod browser. New sorting categories, search, details panel, update, and uninstall map allow you to manage your downloaded content without leaving the game. Multiple mods can be queued and arranged with the download manager. The player experience will remain relatively the same as before. You do not need to register with Mod.io to download and play content. When you join a server playing a mod, the game will automatically download and join the match. You can now also finally cancel a download in progress! If you still want to play the older workshop content, you can switch your Steam Beta branch to "Legacy" to access the old mods that will not be brought to Mod.io. Game Mode Permutations for TDM/DM Weapon filters can be applied to modern Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch. This will allow more exciting varieties of ways to play by letting you select which specific weapons will be available. Audio Overhaul Updated weapon sounds to have more unique characteristics. There are also new reverb ef...Update 29 Final betaMay 5, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsWe’re on the home stretch for Update 29 release. This will be our final beta before release. We will use this opportunity to get the update in the players' hands to receive feedback for bugs and issues. Once we have finalized the update after beta testing, the build will get submitted to Sony Playstation for review. This is necessary as we must have the compiled builds on both platforms on the same version to ensure crossplay compatibility. While crossplay will not be enabled for this beta test, it will be for the final release. We also want to address the elephant in the room regarding feedback we have received from the last new post. We want to clarify that Pavlov is on a different engine version from the previous update. Despite moving from Workshop to Mod.io, the maps would have been incompatible, and we have to start with a fresh slate regardless. We intend to keep a branch available to those who still want to play legacy content. Join us in the Steam Beta Here is how to access the beta on Steam: Right-click Pavlov VR in Steam Go to properties Click Betas Tab Select "beta" from the drop-down We want your participation to stress test this beta for yourself and provide some feedback! Join our discord! Lobby overhaul & Crossplay Our original implementation for crossplay was a subpar and confusing player experience after internal testing. We have since refactored crossplay code and UI to be during the lobby creation process. PC Players will choose between crossplay with PSVR2 (mods disabled) or for PC Only (mods enabled). Once the selection has been made, that lobby will stay as that selection until all players leave and the lobby is closed. We have also refactored the lobby UI and added the ability for the host to promote someone else to be the lobby leader. Crossplay will not work in this beta and will be available on Update 29 full release due to PSVR2 needing the same client build. New Mod Browser The new mod browser makes it easier to find and install mods. You can browse mods by category, popularity, or newest mods. You can also search for specific mods by name or keyword and manage your downloads without exiting the game. Game Mode Permutations for TDM/DM We have added weapon filtering permutations to Team Deathmatch and Deathmatch. You can also customize the availability of each weapon or toggle entire categories with ease. New Character Models We have finally completed the Nato and Russian player models for 5v5 search and destroy. Player models will be assigned randomly at the start of matches. Search and Destroy Improvements Search and destroy was improved with several new features. The scoreboard timer now aligns with the bomb timer countdown for improved round accuracy and putting the bomb timer clock on the player's wristwatch. Team Indicators You can now see your teammates through occluded objects like walls and floors to help locate their current position in real-time. There is additionally a bomb carrier indicator for Search and ...Update 29 FAQFeb 16, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsWhy is the modkit taking so long? We are continuing to work on the mod.io integration and some of the newer features. We are trying to make upgrading your UE 4.21 content as easy as possible. Why is the update taking so long? We're trying to get Unreal on a stable version that will work with all the platforms we currently plan to service. For example, we have to upgrade to 5.1.1, and perhaps we may have to upgrade again to 5.2. What has the team worked on since the last beta? We have been working on new map designs and other assets for both Pavlov Shack and Pavlov. Optimizing current maps and beginning a new process for revamping the lighting Added our new intro and main menu theme song composed by Anthony Casalena Overhauled the offset adjuster in the shooting range based on feedback Addressed some launching issues for some folks who could not run the beta Refactoring our server infrastructure for more robust reliability and content delivery. New Russian character added Various bugs have been addressed, large and small Fixed right eye rendering setting that broke in the 4.21 engine Sneak peek of our one of our newest maps in development, Autumn, which will come after Update 29. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/27034643/bcbabd9b2fb0e908bc0ba388cc4e4a6da96c27a0.png Why is Vankrupt Games partnering with Mod.io, rather than using Workshop? mod.io is a cross-platform UGC solution for our needs as we expand platforms. This allows for easy content delivery networks that is universal. We are launching with PC support, with Meta Quest and PSVR versions with in-game integration to follow. Partnering with mod.io ensures we can provide official mod support to all Pavlov VR players, regardless of platform or store preference. On which platforms can I access mods? For the update's release, PC platforms (Steam) will have access to official mod support. All players can view and download mods directly in-game, or on the mod.io website. Support for other VR platforms, including Meta Quest and PSVR2, may follow. What can Mod.io do that Steam Workshop can't? We can finally cancel in-progress downloads! This was previously not available on the PC version of Pavlov due to limitations of the Steam Workshop API. Additionally, we can now download/upload mods for specific platforms to split the server/client files, so you don't have to download both. Additionally, this could also open the door for some degree of cross-play mods between Shack and PC that players can choose to opt into. This would not affect the integrity of the PC version of Pavlov as we will continue to generate content with a high level of fidelity that the PC and PSVR2 have. I don't want to lose all of the old mods, why can't you just keep Workshop? The engine upgrade will break all of the legacy mods on 4.21 whether or not we use Mod.io. Older Unreal Engine version content is not backwards compatible with newer engine versions. Will the experience differ for VR Platforms versus PC players? Vankrupt Games is partner...Update 29 BetaDec 16, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsNotice: Steam VR beta branch is causing memory leak issues and crashing. If you are experiencing performance issues, ensure your runtime is not using the SteamVR beta. Blood, sweat, and many, many tears went into Pavlov's development in 2022. Finally, after several engine upgrade iterations, we are ready to show you all a peak into Update 29. This update brings forth the Unreal 5.1 upgrade and our conversion to the OpenXR standard to future-proof Pavlov for the years to come. This update comes with several overhauls, bug fixes, and new features. Join us in the Steam Beta Here is how to access the beta on Steam: Right-click Pavlov VR in Steam Go to properties Click Betas Tab Select "beta" from the drop-down We want your participation to stress test this beta for yourself and provide some feedback! Join our discord! Maps We completely overhauled Sand to bring the art direction up to the standards of our other maps. We are also introducing horror versions of Datacenter, Siberia, and Container Yard. New characters for Nato and Russians Modern game modes will now utilize a variety of new character models. More characters to come! UI Overhauls Various aspects of the UI have been reworked. We're introducing onboarding for new players, loading screen tips, Name tag variations, watch UI, voting, death card, and more! Matchmaking We're introducing matchmaking! We currently have casual matchmaking, with ranked matchmaking to be included later. Modkit and Retiring Steam Workshop for Mod.io This engine upgrade means custom maps from the previous version of Pavlov VR will not be compatible with this update. Map makers and modders will need to upgrade their content using the new modkit to support the update. It has also come time to retire the Steam Workshop and move the content delivery network to Mod.io. This migration is necessary to provide a reliable content delivery network independent of Steam. The modkit beta will be released at a later time soon. Stay tuned on discord! New Guns We have added two new weapons, PKM and Skorpion. New IK system Pavlov's inverse kinematics are into a new system with more animation blending and the addition of prone! Prone is not available for SnD. Mod creators can also disable prone if they so choose. Infection Infection has joined the family of game modes! It's now part of the lobby selection of game modes. A permutation of The Hide where if the monster kills a player, they become infected and turn into a monster on respawn. The round continues until Aurora soldiers survive the match or all have been infected. Prop Hunt Now out of beta and supports the following night/day versions of maps: Bridge, Datacenter, Bunker, Station, Santorini, and Containeryard Prop Hunt lets players on the 'prop' team explore the map and select a prop or item in the map who will then clone that object. During this time, the hunters are blinded in the pre-round. Props must be clever and find a location on the map to help them hide in plain sight. ...Update 28 - Hotfix 2Jan 24, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsThis hotfix addresses some of the issues related to steam profile pictures, and the arm kill feed being forced on. Additionally, after feedback of performance issues with servers with too many players, we are playing a cap at 24 players for community servers. This may be the last update that we are going to ship on Unreal Engine version 4.21.2 while we continue our efforts to upgrading to Pavlov 4.27. Our update cycle may slow down as a result, but this doesn't mean we are finished with Pavlov VR quite yet. However, there may be a loss of workshop content if it is not updated by the authors. We are going to release a beta modkit for the new engine well before we intend to update Pavlov to give the map authors ample time to test and update their maps to the new engine in preparation.

A tiger tank pins down your unit, and you've got the ordinance. Get your ass back in formation and link up with your squad, and for Pete's sake, don't drop the damn bazooka in the mud. Point Bravo is under heavy defense, so get moving private. Bring up that TNT while you're at it! Push is a class-based, progressively changing objective game mode. The respawn locations will focus on the following objectives when the attacking team captures a set of capture points. TNT will be primed and placed on the capture point to trigger a fuse countdown that the defending team will need to defuse in the allotted time. The attacking team will have a limited number of reinforcements and must complete the objectives before the round or tickets run out. Anti-personnel and anti-vehicle mines have also been added to the game to assist in defensive maneuvers or area denial. Don't stand too close. If an enemy shoots the mine, it will explode. We have added Push to our official maps: Stalingrad, Santorini, Bridge, Bunker, Container Yard, and Siberia. How to access Push At this time, Push will need to be running on a community server. Load up Pavlov and use the server browser filter to search for Push game mode. Hunting Rifle {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/27034643/70ec6417d78a5f015d2cb5c2968bc6aeb84ca9f4.png We've brought back an older favorite weapon for long-range sharpshooters. The hunting rifle supports a unique feature with rounds stored on a bandolier fastened on the butt of the gun. This new weapon does not have a detachable magazine; thus, rounds are inserted one at a time. Tiger Tank {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/27034643/a669b08f339f52f597df9ee8b2eaf529e0bde6d4.png The most formidable and feared tank of WWII is now in Pavlov. It features a slightly more heavy armor plating and has slightly more health than the other tanks. Mappers can spawn this vehicle with the Pavlov mod kit. 4x4 Vehicles {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/27034643/a4443c393527f50e98260af4ba529c1320d19d46.png To help reinforcements move up the line, we've added the 4x4 Kubelwagen and Willys MB vehicles. It supports a crew of 4 and moves at a much faster speed than the tanks. However, they have very little armor, and the crew is exposed to the open air. Beware of snipers! Bunker https://media0.giphy.com/media/HhZtnMFZ5ABTvC4dNQ/giphy.gif?cid=790b76110bf6e91e6830ef4bf3ee048fe9cd8baf11b96929&rid=giphy.gif We're proud to release a new official Search and Destroy map. Set in an abandoned Soviet missile silo, Bunker features a reasonably large layout with several intricate pathways to develop exciting strategies. Updated scoreboard https://i.imgur.com/jWqmPAa.png We've updated the scoreboard to allow more players to be viewed (up to 32). There's also additional information for Search and Destroy to show team economy and bomb possession.

Several terabytes of data were stolen from Site-30 servers. Much of which consisted of weapon development research, government covert operation briefings, metallurgy test results, and the release of a high importance object. While awaiting Level 5 clearance for transfer to Site-19, AO-186-6 "The Hide" was knowingly released by the operatives, presumably to take the asset themselves. However, they were then promptly eviscerated by AO-186-6. Site security has since regained control of the facility, AO-186-6 escaped the premises. The assert requires immediate recollection. Termination orders are pending. Aurora Soldier {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/27034643/a24654fa4617a3cdf8071dcb09d264c961511c34.png Once your squad has infiltrated the AO, ROE is weapons-free. The target must be eliminated by any means, bagged, then extracted to point KILO. Contain the asset at all costs. Work as a team with the tools at your disposal to accomplish the mission. The Hide is hard to spot and must be kept away from feeding on corpses. Trip Alarm With a Surprise Protect and secure an area with this sophisticated trip alarm. The laser beam has the ability to relay back to the device a nominal DNA sequence, or an abnormal one. It will signal when a fellow squad member passes when the beam is broken.

This security firm has a mission statement to bring protection to those who need it most. Still, their history directly opposes these core values, resulting in the inevitable conflict brought to their corporate offices. This map design originated directly from the Pavlov community. It was such a fan favorite we decided to partner with the original map designer, Voxie, to remake a map with a high amount of detail. This map features various environments with SnD at the forefront of the design with a finely tuned layout to ensure this map will withstand the test of time. Updated modern player models {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/27034643/1ffc7f30e00c6187a7a5d94559ebc5fef3f5116c.png We have updated our NATO and Russian player models for Pavlov. This comes with several benefits. Not only are the teams now more distinguishable, but we have also improved performance with them. We were able to make them look better, while also reducing the number of draw calls needed to render them on screen. New weapon sounds Our sound design team has remastered all of the current weapons sounds in an effort to provide more heavy impact and dialed up the effects of outdoor reverb. New explosion effects https://media.giphy.com/media/rvrLgsxcmWgSNY1dCL/giphy.gif We've added new effects to the frag grenade and SnD bomb. We've also wholly refactored the flashbang effect to address some of the issues with low-light environments. We also believe we have helped simulate the feeling of discombobulation with these new flashbang effects. Utility buy limits to Search and Destroy After receiving feedback from players, we have decided to add buy limits to the utility. You can now only purchase a single frag at a time in pre-round. This is an effort to reduce grenade spam. Additionally there are limits to 2 smokes, 2 flashbangs, and only one pair of pliers. Pavlov TV Returns! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/27034643/bee2c0e3de7840847cc7d3af2c79709225982b9f.jpg We have brought back our casting application for casting Search and Destroy matches. This can be used by changing the launch parameters for the game. It will open to a keyboard and mouse interface that can be controlled with various key binds to change the perspectives of the spectator camera. You can find the full guide on our wiki. Revamped modern shooting range {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/27034643/976beeaf911b2db8c10c9dc4d868416de0cec991.png We've rebuilt the shooting range.
