• New Team Objective map – “The Reclamation of Montcrux”
• New Free For All map – “Desert”
• New Limited Time Mode – “Last Peasant Standing” 
• Limited Time Arena Mode – “Mounted Combat”

New Map – “The Reclamation of Montcrux”

Word of the Tenosian Empire’s invasion has spread, stirring the ire of the Agathian noble houses with bitter memories of old wars. Fueled by vengeance, a call to war against Tenosia has risen once again. “We must reclaim our grounds and fight once more for Argon, our one and true King!!” Within days, the Agathians rallied enough troops and marched back into the unknown lands of the South, reaching the great fortress of Montcrux, a battleground scarred by many battles of the past.

This is an uphill climb for the Agathians. They must break through the fortress’s walls with petards and avoid a rain of ballista fire from the Tenosians as the bombards continue to fire against the Agathian siege towers and camp. Should they break through, Agathians must then lift the keep’s gates and disable the bombards launching above, reclaiming the fortress as theirs once again.

New Weapon – “Siege Crossbow”

Unlike its more lightweight predecessor, the Siege Crossbow (available for the Crossbowman subclass) fires bolts that can deal notable damage to non-objective siege weapons and constructables. It also has the power to pierce through them. Be wary when hiding behind barricades! While it may deal considerable damage, use caution when reloading, aiming, and shooting, as this is a bulky weapon and you are limited in the amount of shots you can fire. Make them count!

New Limited Time Gamemode – “Last Peasant Standing”

The peasantry of Aberfell are having a feud! Whose turn was it to feed the pigs? Who keeps destroying the cabbage wagons?! Who sacrificed our good farmer Shaun to the Mason druids?! (That wasn’t supposed to happen until this weekend!)

As a fragile peasant owing fealty to the Agathian Knights or Mason Order, scramble for weapons to defeat the enemy team through multiple rounds! Very limited weapons of war are present on the map, so grab whatever you can find. The victor goes to the team that wins five rounds in total.

Combat

• Active Parry
  • Player is no longer disarmed when in an active parry state
• Aim Assist
  • Removed magnetism affecting projectile initial rotation

After further review of feedback shared regarding this feature, it was noted that the aim assist for archery was stronger than intended. In addition to assisting look aim, a projectile’s starting rotation was found to also be influenced. This part of the feature has been removed in this update. 

• Engineers
  • Fixed an issue where the subclass would not deal double damage to siege weapons
• Horses
  • Fixed a crash that would occur when a player tackles another player into a horse
  • Fixed an issue where the player would be locked in sprint mode after certain actions while horses are present in a given match

In certain cases, the sprinting value speed would not be set back to zero even though the player was not in a sprinting state. This fix not only addresses this case but also other cases where this issue would happen.

• Jabs
  • Adjusted jabbing after dodge to come out slower instead of being on cooldown
• Ripostes
  • Fixed an issue where a corrected riposte would cost double stamina
• Stabs
  • Stabs for all weapons now thwack when hitting teammates

Upon further ongoing review of the current combat, it was noted that players would use stabs while behind a teammate to mask their attack, resulting in a disadvantage for the defender when reading and defending against such attacks. This has been addressed. Note that for 2.9, this can still be accomplished through a heavy stab, which we will be looking to address in the future.

• Shields
  • Footman subclass Man-At-Arms now has access to Light shields
  • Knight subclass Guardian now has access to Medium and Light shields
• Parry

• Peasant Weapons
  • Set swing timings for the Hammer, Sickle, and Broken Sword

Matchmaking

  • Added 64-Player Team Objective
    • Horses are disabled
    • Team Objective maps only

  • Horses are enabled

  • Fixed a bug where 40 player mixed matchmaking would always try to search for an entirely new lobby

We have been discussing the state of the matchmaking queues and looking to refine the existing queues based on player feedback. As a result, the main queue is now TO only, and 40 player mixed modes are back on the main page. Note that 40 player mixed modes in standalone servers is different from matchmaking servers in the sense that they do not include horses. 

Gamemodes

• New Limited Time Event – “Last Peasant Standing”
• Fixed an issue where players could not switch teams in offline mode
• Fixed an issue where offline mode did not respect the players unlocked weapons and subclasses

Please note that, as a side effect of this fix, the Xbox user’s crossparty friends list will be wiped. The player on these platforms will need to add their crossparty friends once more.

Known Issues

• We’re aware that player customization and some options like PC keybinds are being reset when launching 2.9 for the first time. Thanks for your patience while we investigate.
• Thrown weapons do no damage if hitting the same target a second time shortly after hitting them the first time
• Dismembered heads from players change to default customization
• There’s an inconsistency with the breakables that are affected by siege crossbow
• Report button does not focus properly on gamepad
• Occasional failure when adding friends
• Kills on the progression tab are not incrementing properly
• Achievement progress visually does not track (but does increment properly behind the scenes). Firing 1000 arrows achievement for example will not properly represent how many arrows you’ve fired, but it will still update the actual number and unlock at 1000.
• In game UI may not list all players in the party
• Siege Crossbow – Unintended reload animation on horseback
• Siege Crossbow – Flickers after being thrown
• Siege Crossbow – Inconsistencies on what objects it damages and doesn’t damage
• Siege Crossbow – Inaccurate tooltip is currently present for the current iteration of the weapon
• TO_Bulwark – There are some duplicated mantlets placed within other mantlets
• Templar Knight Armour Clips with Heads
• Crossparty – No confirmation on unfriending
• Crossparty – Crash after unfriending someone and then closing the game
• With 2.9, the game directory was changed which has caused PC users to lose their customization and settings. There is a potential workaround below that may help resolve this:

1. Close the game
2. Navigate to your %appdata/local/chivalry2/saved/cloud folder
3. In a separate window, navigate to the location where your game is stored
4. Navigate through Chivalry 2/TBL/Saved/Cloud
5. Backup the folder in your game directory
6. Copy over the cloud folder in your app data directory to your game location directory
7. Start the game
