Company of Heroes 2

 
Wire Report - February 2023Feb 2, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsFebruary 2023 There’s been so much Company of Heroes news in the last couple months, we knew we had to recap it all and showcase some of the amazing content our players have been creating! With CoH3’s launch approaching fast this month on February 23rd and the Multiplayer Tech Test behind us, we’re not going to waste anymore time. Let’s get into it! NEWS Multiplayer Tech Test Our final public test of Company of Heroes 3 concluded in January, and we want to thank all 154,000 players who took part! This last push allowed us to iron out any remaining technical issues before launch and it was a great opportunity for our team to get a head start on your feedback. You can find all the details here, along with the results of our testing and an outline of how we plan to tackle your top points of feedback. You can also check out our video recap! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40883127/a53fc574ccbe1104fe247f079cdcf9b4f86e0a47.jpg CoH3 is Coming to Console We’re incredibly excited to be bringing Company of Heroes 3 to our fans on Xbox Series S and X and PlayStation 5 later this year with the support of our SEGA partner studios. You can find all the details and our FAQ here, along with our reveal trailer and console gameplay reveal here. DEVELOPER SITREP British Forces Deep Dive We just completed the third installment of our Deep Dive series looking at CoH3’s launch factions. This time we “risked it for a biscuit” as we hit the field with the British Forces. Check out the behind-the-scenes insights from our developers Matt Philip and Will “MonolithicBacon” Ward. Stay tuned for our Deutsches Afrikakorps Deep Dive coming in the next couple weeks! Faction Tech Trees Want to start theory crafting and learning the ins-and=outs of all four factions before launch?

This was our last push to test our online infrastructure and to nail down any pesky bugs and crashes before we launch on February 23rd. Over 154,000 players took part in the Tech Test, which was four times more than what we had for the Mission Alpha in July! We can’t thank you enough for helping us with this crucial step. Over the course of the test, we received over 650 bug reports from the community through our new online form. Your testing also helped us identify crashes well before launch so that we can already investigate fixes. All these reports along with your feedback is going to help us deliver a great Company of Heroes experience when we launch just over a month from now! Objectives & Results So, what did we want to accomplish with this test? And did we achieve those objectives? Test server load and overall stability. This includes things like match performance, player logins and overall matchmaking. Test matchmaking queues and how they worked individually. Test wider array of different PC setups, hardware and software compatibility, and game client stability. Optimize the game by discovering and reducing crashes and bugs. Test client and server-side maintenance and patching. On all counts, this test was extremely successful for our team. We had 4x our estimated players and we had no server issues. Our average gameplay latency or matchmaking times were both lower than our targets, and we continue to look at ways to improve both. We were able to test over 1,400 different processors and video cards across different hardware setups, and we found and fixed several crashes related to configurations, rendering and game mechanics. Additionally, we found some fun bugs related to AI and economy exploits. Our data also showed that certain GPU models that are slightly older were experiencing worse performance than they should have been getting. The Tech Test allowed us to identify this issue early, and we’ll continue to make improvements based on that player data and feedback. Our goal is to make the game playable on as many configurations as possible at launch. After our first hotfix, we were also able to cut our crash rate almost by a third. We’re going to continue this work over the next month to reduce our crash rate even further. No game can ever have a 0% crash rate, but we can try to get close! The team at Relic accomplished our goals with this test, but we also want to let you know how we plan to tackle your feedback. Visuals One of biggest topics of discussion during this Tech Test focused on the look, feel and readability of the game right now. First, the version of the game we used for the Tech Test was about a month old, and a major lighting pass wasn’t quite ready for this build of the game, but you’ll see updated versions in our upcoming Deep Dives. We’ve also identified a couple of key issues that were contributing to degraded vis...British Forces Sizzle TrailerJan 18, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsThe British Forces are a stubborn and efficient fighting force. Aided by their Commonwealth allies, the Brits can do it all - from digging in and weathering the storm, to striking out and punishing the enemy with a range of mechanized options. Multiplayer Tech TestJan 11, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsObjectives & Intent Welcome to the Company of Heroes 3 Multiplayer Tech Test! This is our last big development push before launch and we’re extremely excited to finally get it into your hands. Your participation will allow us to prepare for launch by testing our infrastructure on a larger scale. The test also helps us identify new bugs and issues that cannot be caught without having thousands of people playing the game at the same time. Your feedback during this test is critical. Though the game is essentially ready for launch, your feedback on your experience - everything from faction balance to units to systems and more - will help inform fixes and patches in the first few weeks and months of the game’s life. This will also help us iterate on quality-of-life improvements, feature priorities, future iterations of gameplay elements and content. Test Objectives Server load and stability Match performance - server calls during matches Logins - server is capable of handling large numbers of player logins Matchmaking - server can match players quickly and efficiently based on our parameters Queue testing We will be changing access to certain game modes during the Multiplayer Tech Test to monitor how the queues work individually. This will vary with the number of players testing at any given point in time and will be communicated in Community Spaces (forums, Discord) and social media. Client stability & compatibility testing A large group of players testing the game with different PC set-ups will give us the chance to test a lot more hardware and software configurations than we would ever be able to do with our team. We will be focusing on learning about: Hardware issues Software configuration issues Crashes - We will be monitoring crash reports to ensure CoH3 is optimized for as many configurations as possible. Help us by filling in the Bugsplat report should you get one! Our team reads every single one of these and the more information we get, the better we can understand the issue. Bug Reporting With a large group of players, we are going to be able to discover new bugs and issues that we never had the chance to encounter during internal testing. This will help us squash as many critical issues in the launch window as possible. You can report a bug by going to this link. Be sure to select “Report Feedback or Bug” under “Nature of Enquiry.” Client and server maintenance & patching As we plan to support CoH3 for a long time, we are using this test to make sure we are ready to deliver updates and perform maintenance without a hitch. We will be testing this both on the client side (when you need to download a patch through Steam) and on the server side (when the update is deployed via our servers and downloaded in-game). Available Features Mission Zero – First time launch tutorial (skippable). Note that there are many tutorials and first-time-user tooltips that will not be present in this test, but you will be able to experience them at launch. As this...Tech Test RegistrationJan 9, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsGet ready for our public Multiplayer Tech Test which starts on January 11th! This test will be available to all players for free.

Otherwise, we'll see you on the battlefield on January 11th!Holiday Recap 2022Dec 22, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsIt’s been a whirlwind year for Company of Heroes! With only a couple of months before we launch CoH3, we wanted to recap all the news we’ve shared with you, along with some of your feedback that made it into the game. Our team will be taking some time to rest over the holidays, so things will be quiet for a bit. We hope that you and those close to you will also get a chance to enjoy the holiday season and will ring in a happy new year! Our team will be back in full swing as we get ready for January’s Multiplayer Tech Test and CoH3’s launch in February. The start of 2022 was quiet, as the team was heads down working on the game and getting some big things ready. We had some great announcements this year and kicked those off in July with our North Africa reveal. We announced that CoH3 will not only include the Italian Dynamic Campaign, but also the North African Operation giving players the chance to see the Deutsches Afrikakorps with their Italian Battlegroups in action for the first time in the series. Players had a chance to test them out in the Mission Alpha, and a few thousand lucky folks got a chance for more hands-on time at both Gamescom and PAX this past Summer. The great thing about the Mission Alpha (and the Multiplayer Pre-Alpha and Pre-Alpha Preview before it), is that these public tests give us an opportunity to review your feedback, process it, and make changes in CoH3 to improve the experience. Another important aspect for us when it comes to CoH-Development is being as transparent as possible – both when it comes to the development process and the decisions we’re making. As an example, we grilled our Executive Producer with your questions while we were at Gamescom in August! In December we also revealed that CoH3 will be coming to consoles later in 2023, giving so many more players a chance to experience the action, strategy and tactics of the Mediterranean theatre. The team has had tremendous support in this effort from our SEGA partner studios, ensuring Relic can focus on delivering an amazing PC experience at launch, while also overseeing the work to bring the game to Xbox and Playstation 5. The major design difference for the Console Edition is to adjust the HUD and to build out controller support. The team is adamant that we have to deliver on our intended vision for CoH3, regardless of platform. One question we see a lot is “what sets CoH3 apart?” or “what am I actually getting?” The answer is … a lot! CoH3 will be our biggest game at launch, and we have a ton of plans to keep supporting it in the future. You can find an exhaustive list of everything coming on launch day here. In September we also announced that mods will be coming to CoH3 at launch, and you can find more details on modding support here. You can also check out our developer diary from July that outlines our plans for the future. Showing off gameplay throughout the development process has been incredibly important for us, even if the game was early, had some o...CoH3 Launch Content & BeyondDec 5, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsCompany Of Heroes 3 – Launch Content & Beyond Company of Heroes 3 will be releasing on Steam on February 23, 2023 and will be the biggest game at launch in the franchise’s history. CoH3 brings the series’ intimate, boots-on-the-ground storytelling to two brand-new theatres of war, one with branching storylines where players make difficult historical choices, and the other being a focused narrative-driven experience offering a ‘classic CoH’ approach, all with our acclaimed tactical gameplay. We plan to support CoH3 for years to come, with plenty more updates and content coming post-launch. Today we want to cover everything you’ll be able to experience on day one. Day-1 Launch Content Singleplayer Jump into two singleplayer experiences right at launch with the Dynamic Italian Campaign and the North African Operation. Dynamic Italian Campaign The new Dynamic Campaign Map delivers full ‘sandbox-style’ gameplay, allowing players to command the overall war effort and experience an unprecedented level of strategic choice. Command ground, air and naval forces, build supply lines, and develop a Partisan spy network to crush enemy advances. No two playthroughs are ever alike! Choose your forces and upgrade your veteran companies to match your playstyle. Each of the 5 starting Companies can be upgraded uniquely so that they function radically differently from one another. Players have agency to play their way with branching storylines and multiple endings, introducing a level of re-playability no CoH game has ever had before. North African Operation The North African Operation offers players a more traditional and linear CoH3 experience – with no shortage of action. In the sprawling deserts of North Africa, players will be in full control of the overwhelming vehicular power of the Deutsches Afrikakorps as they fight against the British forces for control of North Africa in this moving narrative-driven experience. Skirmish vs AI Take on the enemy AI in singleplayer skirmish. Play solo, or with AI teammates across 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 or 4v4 maps. Victory Point win condition – Hold the victory points and deplete your enemy’s tickets to win. Annihilation win condition – No holds barred. Destroy the enemy base to win. Multiplayer Queue up as one of four factions in automatch for one-on-one or team games pitting the Axis vs the Allies. Victory Point win condition Includes 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 and 4v4 maps 4x Factions: US Forces, Wehrmacht, British Forces & Deutsches Afrikakorps 12x Launch Battlegroups - Battlegroups are the evolution of the Doctrine and Commander systems from CoH1 and CoH2. This new system now offers ten choices split across two branches in each battlegroup. What's more, players will have to make exclusive choices in each branch. Battlegroups let you customize an army with unique squads, specialized units, and new abilities. US Forces: Airborne, Armored and Special Operations Battlegroups Wehrmacht: Luftwaffe, Mechanized and Breakthrough Battlegroups British ...Company of Heroes Wire Report - November 2022Nov 30, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsNovember 2022 Welcome to our first Wire Report!

US Forces & Wehrmacht Deep Dives Our whole team is hyped to be showing off multiplayer in more detail! You can see the first in our series of deep dives on the factions here, starting with the US Forces, followed up by the Wehrmacht! We’ll be doing two more of these deep dives before launch to cover the British Forces and the Deutsches Afrikakorps. Stay tuned! Launch Date Q&A We also put your questions in front of CoH’s Vice President of Production, David Littman, who’s in charge of the whole franchise. We discuss our new launch date, what the team is working on now, and how player feedback shapes CoH3. Convention Season It was great to get back to events and conventions again. There’s something special about watching over a player’s shoulder and being able to answer their questions in-person! Check out our show-floor interviews with the team and the reactions from our players at Gamescom and PAX West. HUD Update Based on your feedback coming out of the Mission Alpha in July, we’ve revamped the HUD and continue to work on final touches. Check out the iterative process below if you missed it. Here was our first revamp of the HUD. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40883127/a09d1469617e30b08e9d38a1bc8df69e121b67bc.jpg And here it is again with some more flavor and theming. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40883127/d078183c1da6da637531f00f0e730a1be6537ab7.jpg PARTNER CONTENT Black Forest Map GBPirate has published a new CoH2 map inspired by Age of Empires and the real-life Black Forest. “This map is a tableau of sights of the Schwarzwald in southwest Germany. Designed for a competitive matchup, Black Forest should play fairly similar to most balanced maps in the 2v2 automatch pool.” Find the map on the Steam Workshop here and check out this video preview here.

We review two action-packed multiplayer games (including one with the legendary DevM!), discuss main rosters, Battlegroups, and all the new ways to play this classic faction. Company of Heroes 3 Launch Date MovedOct 4, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsAs we approach the November 17th launch date for Company of Heroes 3, our team has decided the game is not quite up to our players’ or our own high standards. There are still bugs to squash, pixels to polish, gameplay to adjust and feedback to address. As a result, we’ve decided to move the launch date to February 23rd, 2023. While we know many of you are itching to get your hands on the game, we believe this to be the best decision for CoH3, our players, and our studio. This provides our hard-working team and partners with the necessary time to deliver CoH3 in a better overall state. So, what does this all mean? It means we’re spending this additional time polishing and finalizing features while also squashing bugs. Every day we remove bugs and finalize assets and features to help guarantee a better moment-to-moment experience for our players. Over the next 4-months we will not be adding any new features — the factions, units, modes, campaigns and modding tools for CoH3 are all set for launch. Now it’s just a matter of tuning and polishing everything to deliver on that core experience. We are incredibly proud of the dedication our community has shown throughout CoH-Development. Your feedback has been critical in these last stages of development and will continue to be a driver for our team for years to come. Since we first revealed Company of Heroes 3 in July of 2021, your feedback across all areas of the game has been considered, processed, and in many cases, implemented. Some examples include: Improvements to the Dynamic Campaign Map, such as a new supply system, UI improvements, a more aggressive A.I., and faster travel across the map through seaport and airport improvements. Adding a stronger focus on visual grit and details during battles, by improving shader technology and FX. A great example of improved visual grit is the new vehicle weathering system that we’ve implemented, seeing vehicles now slowly accrue more dirt and mud based on the terrain they are navigating through. You will see more impact damage, scarring, burning and damage on their vehicles as you progress on the battlefield. Overhauling the lighting system to provide higher fidelity and to ensure clear unit readability Enhancing moment-to-moment gameplay by making changes to the camera positioning and providing clearer mini map information. Changes are still being made to the HUD layout and the UI. Seeing players experiment with the Multiplayer Pre-Alpha in November 2021 really helped the team make significant improvements to Battlegroups, their upgrade trees, units, and call-in abilities. Reviewing and improving parts of voice-over lines to ensure they are authentic to specific characters and their native accents featured in the game. Our team will continue sharing news and details with you week-to-week in the lead up to launch to keep you updated on our progress. Over 5 years ago, we set out to deliver the best Company of Heroes game in the franchise’s history, and with yo...Company of Heroes 3 Essence EditorSep 30, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsWe’re making Company of Heroes history! The Company of Heroes 3 Essence Editor and modding will be supported day 1. That means when the game launches, it will come with the latest that our brand-new Essence Engine 5 has to offer, and new capabilities to build more incredible Company of Heroes experiences than ever before. We aim to make the creation, sharing, and playing of mods as seamless as possible for both creators and players. Once created, mods can be published to the Steam Workshop to enable an easy and familiar path to downloading and playing community content. At launch, we’ll be sharing comprehensive documentation for these new tools to help guide new and experienced creators. At launch, you will be able to create: Maps & Scenarios Game Modes Tuning Packs We aim to continue growing these tools with your feedback for years to come!
