Last year's summer event was a hit among the community, which is why we're bringing back the fun — with some exciting new additions! The community has once more been on fire to make this content possible while the core of the Vanilla development team has shifted to the RWR2 development.

The good old off-duty veteran is back as fit as ever to continue causing chaos across the enemy lines!

We also added a new Cooling Box 3 as a random soldier drop with pre-existing rare stuff and with brand new equipment and goodies such as 5 new weapons.

In this update we added a new unit called the VIP exclusively for online invasion which is a blue helmet war reporter equipped with a ballistic shield and a camera. This pacifist unit needs to be escorted to another base. The commander will inform you on the tactical map where the VIP is and which base he needs to be escorted to. Note that the VIP is not spawning on every map but average on every third map. A successful mission rewards the entire server with a ticket which can recompense you with items from a pool of pretty much every equipment piece the Seasonal Event has to offer!

The Summer Event will last the entire Summer so there is plenty of time to get the most out of it! Enjoy!

Steam allows its users to log-in to third-party sites (like rwrstats.com) using a protocol named "OpenID 2.0", which goal is to prevent users to share any sensitive credentials with such sites. That's great, however this protocol is very old and superseded by another (OpenID Connect) since a long time.

As a developer, I'm lazy. I was using what we call a "library" allowing to use this protocol, without writing much code by myself. That library however stopped working months ago for an unknown reason, so I had to implement the protocol by myself to solve the issue.

• invasion: removed obsolete projectile resources

Originally posted by Unit G17:
Eastern Front will be released, but at this time we are unable to estimate a release date. All four of us DLC developers (Trem, TheSoldier, 577, and me) have full time jobs outside game development, and we had a rather busy year which has slowed down our progress. Rest assured we have the full intention of eventually releasing it!
