Entry to Early Access

A huge thanks to our community, publisher Microprose and Development team for countless hours of maintenance, organization and play time during our Early Access entry.

Our commitment to iterative improvements and responding quickly to community continues from pre-release into early access as we play the game with active servers daily, take notes, discuss the game on discord, and update the public-testing branch.

The public-testing branch is updated several times a week, and we play together with the community to ensure we catch bugs and feedback early. These updates are then packaged together in an update to the main game.

Week 1 Patch Notes
The main focus that became critical was to smooth out the experience in regards to AFK players in the lobby and in game - who would stop the game from progressing. To tackle this AFK timers, and Vote-Kick features have been added.

We continue to support community hosted servers with a range of match and server settings, therefore the new AFK features have new admin settings to explore.

• AFK timeout configurable by server hosts
  
• AFK vote kick system configurable by hosts
  
• A magazine check system with animation only for m27 and hk416 atm
  
• the lobby will automatically start a timer if no admins are present
  
• A main menu redesign
  
• Match settings to allow pings to attach to players or not (for more hardcore server option)
  
• Players can now set a [Clan Tag] which helps hosts identify groups of players when organizing / balancing teams
  
• Various bug fixes (see Discord Changelog)

We hope these features help combat problematic players, and enhance and empower you all to foster a positive public server experience.

Join the Discord Community
The EXFIL Discord is growing with players who share our vision towards creating a realistic infantry combat simulation with advice and input from both players and veterans.

Whether you are a player looking for a realistic fps (that will never feature hotdog suits and unicorn fart emotes) or you are a military enthusiast or veteran who wishes to join our advisor group - please jump in and find us in discord and in game!

We have a vision to break free of gear fear and overwhelming inventory simulations of recent tactical FPS games. Our goal is to make getting into the boots of a soldier more immediate when you choose to play EXFIL, and to focus on communication, teamwork and military realism.

What's Next?
AI will be started in January, but first, we have something cooking...tick tock...

See you in game, Misultin Out.
