Closed Pre-Alpha Week #3

Squaddies, a hoy-hoy. Its Offworld, with more news on the Squad Closed Pre-Alpha.
We just wanted to say thanks to all our backers and community members who managed to play over the weekend that has passed, despite the various issues relating to the build at the time. As a consequence, over the past few days we've been heavily bug-squashing, and so we feel that this coming access weekend should be much better in terms of client and server performance, making YOUR playtest experience that much better!

Before we sign off we want to show another awesome video from our community, this time oOParaOo stepping up to the challenge and trying out the Squad Leader role.

 
Yeah it was in a bit of a state last night. Started off fine then gradually got worse. Voip became choppy, lag and also some weird gunfire sounds from teamates.
 
Are the UK servers down for everyone else?

Very quiet on there today, only 40 people playing right now, in one server.
 
I joined the UK server earlier, I was the only one in it for about 20mins until a few others started to join. Got up to 6 players and then the server crashed or restarted.
 
Can you guys detail the fov/res issue for me so I can cross it over with the bug tracker when I get home please?

This post explains my issue.

Basically, if your res is higher than 1080p, It just upscales 1080p so that the edges touch the edge of your screen and then chops the top and bottom off. Like so.
