Update: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Technical Test - Info for key recipients and requesters
In order to minimize instability in areas we do not fully need to pull data for at this time, our Technical Test will be using a trimmed down build. This decision was made in order to still hold the test on time and effectively. Considering that we are still working on The Texas Chain Saw Massacre at the time of the test, we wanted to make sure to pull back from any areas that could cause issues for our users and focus on the goals we set out with - making sure our servers and our backend system worked well at scale.
What does this mean?
Everything in a match will be the same as it is in the most current build. Meaning once the lobby loads into the match, you will be playing the most up to date version of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Menus and interface will, however, be a bit more trimmed down than initially planned.
Those cuts are as follows:
Players will be randomly assigned their character upon loading into a lobby.
Squads are not in the feature list for this branch and players will need to queue up solo.
Metagame is disabled and will be shown to our community at a later date.
While these areas of the game are obviously of interest to the community, the purpose of the Tech Test is to stress the backend systems and we will still be able to accomplish that without any extraneous issues coming up. We appreciate your understanding and can’t wait for you to see more of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
