• Welcome to the Vanguard Community

    These forums date back to the game's origins as the Crysis mod Traction Wars. Over the years the game and internet habits have evolved and discord.gg/vanguardww2 is now the principle home of the community.

    The team continue to read and reply to posts here, but we can be contacted more quickly on Discord.

    Some feedback 5.4.2019

    General Naga - you mentioned this before and I asked for a link to the survey. Can you send a link by email for the survey, please. I looked in previous emails and could not find the survey mentioned. Thanks

    Some feedback 5.4.2019

    Screen freezes - are they simply no output while the software closes old processes and starts new? Would a filler bar solve it? And please change my status to backer. It's only fair.

    Marketing and Increasing the playerbase

    Who is playing at the moment? If it’s only the backers and their friends who were passed keys then the game must have too few players. For the game to attract the usual fps players it must be the type of ‘rush and die’ game that is popular at the moment. This would be a divergance to perhaps a...

    Bug Report

    2. Game is not Quitting properly (hangs); please put in a selection to disable music; when opponents are shot they disappear immediately from the screen which is unrealistic and unhelpful; a game was started with me vs. 3 in the other team (no balance); edge detection is a long way off for...

    Where's the link to the updates? There's no message box in the game and no thread on this forum. Thanks

    Game Update – 0.5.1

    Streaming matches, organising teams. Some of us will try to catch up! Just had a water pump failure on my Fury X and must get it fixed before games can be played.

    Xanderman's minicritique and suggestions - 06/04/2019

    Reply to Xanderman :) 1 Lack of an ability to go prone. Agree that we need this. 2 Lack of team work incentive. "If I never used VOIP, more often than not nobody would communicate [with VOIP] ... the entire team would go off and do their own thing." This must be because of random players being...

    Bug Report

    After a first try at the game, a few comments about the overall disappointment, bugs and graphic problems. Grass growing through the floor in a house. Houses have a 2D appearance which is confusing when moving in rooms. Posture of team mates firing is at the wrong angle. Slow game load (about...

    Competetive Environment

    The stated purpose of the devs is to offer a squad based shooter, with carefully designed sound and graphics, to represent WWII combat. The devs are making efforts to keep the backers happy, who quite clearly are interested in some kind of co-ordinated squad game, with co-operative team mates...

    Livestream Video / 7 Days until Release!

    "You can also help spread the word by … hyping your clanmates" Guys, please. Think of your intended players, aren’t they going to be over 18? And clan mates is two words. End of tiny rant. Any how, it's looking good. A key mapping option has to be included for some of us :rolleyes: because...

    Windows 7 Sentenced to Death

    Maybe. :) (To test it, install Linux Mint 19 'alongside' Windows and try Vanguard in Linux.) For any body using Windows 7, it is going to remain usable only until a hardware update demands a newer operating system. As for Windows 10, Microsoft is now operating a subscription service which is...

    Windows 7 Sentenced to Death

    Microsoft has announced that support for Windows 7 shall end in January 2020. You have been warned. :oops: That means no more official Microsoft web site for downloads, FAQs and trusted sources. It means no more updates, so any body with Windows 7 must disable updates in Control Panel on the...

    Beta Footage

    Would there be a bandwidth issue for VOIP? If players are using Discord/Teamspeak or something like that, because it's a tool for the group in any game, you might be committing bandwidth that's not used.

    Beta Footage

    In the beta footage, players who are down are able to communicate with team mates still in action. This is not fitting for representing the combat nor is it needed for game play. Should the screen for downed players switch to the view of a team mate? (Chat software and channel shall be...

    Beta testing

    Trent, you have a point about not being new. However, yrumad11 put the point better than I so, with respect, I refer to his comment.

    Beta testing

    Looking at the bigger picture, a lot of us backed this on Kickstarter and it's a non-refundable investment if it goes wrong. However, many people have followed the development and trust the staff, and there's no reason for the staff to abandon the project and run with the money. Hopefully...

    Beta testing

    Right, so one of the Pathfinder Games staff tells us that beta testing is under way, which means a small number of players/programmers spending time playing and reporting problems which are then dealt with by the programmers. And a new member, who probably knows nothing, tells us there's...

    Playing Dead

    As it's a realistic fps game, you could allow a player to play dead when hit because the reaction of a man when hit is the only clue in comnbat. As a footnote, playing dead is not allowed in the Geneva Convention and a soldier playing dead can be shot. Apparently it's cheating. The rules of war...

    Competetive Environment

    To answer yrumad11. The purpose of suggesting VG clans was as a way of getting money into the game. “everything available for everyone” would suggest all maps and raids available for all players. You are right, yrumad11, completely agree with you. “don't encourage clanny gameplay or status...
