Experimental Feature: ‘Hardcore Mode’
Since launching onto Steam Early Access we have found that players either love or hate the ability to spectator team mates after dying.
This test build includes a new experimental server mode which we have (quite imaginatively) temporarily called ‘hardcore mode’. This mode disables the third person spectator camera option for dead players, limiting them to fixed camera positions and instead displays the spawn menu on death.
We would welcome feedback on this new feature including suggestions for a better name!
Please report all bugs and issues you encounter in the #feedback channel on discord.gg/vanguardww2 so we can investigate and fix them.
