Attention Officers,
The relentlessly debased city of Los Sueños faces an existential crisis when a subversive terror attack severs any remaining faith in what's become an ineffective and overwhelmingly militarized city government.
RoN v1.4, our Boiling Point release is out now. Free in the base game for this release is over 200 fixes, 3 new weapons, the 9-bang grenade, attachments, multi-rail attachment system, customization cosmetics, quality of life improvements, and more.
Also out now with this release is the Boiling Point DLC, our third DLC for the game, you can find the store page for it here!
We’re excited to let our Supporter Edition owners know that this DLC is included for free for their Steam accounts, with no further action needed.
The majority of the Boiling Point Release content is available for free in some manner and included as part of the general game update. Here's a quick outline of how it works:
Weapons: Free for all players
DLC Maps: Free in multiplayer if the lobby host owns the DLC
DLC Cosmetics: DLC purchase needed
Patch Day General FAQ:
Q: ‘My game mods broke on PC with this update, why did that happen?’
> A: When Ready or Not or games in general release updates to the game, the files for the game in areas related to new game content or fixes then changes. If mods were using the old files to function that have since changed to new files, those mods will likely need to update in order to work properly with the new version of the game’s files.
Ready or Not Modding Update Tips:
Q: ‘Why does a patch download initially seem frustratingly large in data/gigabytes, even when the game doesn’t actually take up that much more storage when the download finishes’
> A: Game service platforms such as Steam etc. may update games by overwriting the game's files with the new files to replace it. For example, this means a update download that initially shows as 6GB during the download may actually only expand the game by 1GB in size, since it is largely just overwriting old game files for the other 5GB of data.
Q: ‘Why does a patch take so long to download despite my fast internet’
> A: Other routine checks that a game service platform does to confirm game file integrity on the local storage device (e.g. your hard drive such as a HDD or SSD) during a patch download can extend the perceived download size/time.
Q: ‘Why didn’t my game update yet on my console platform?'
> A: Console platforms do not necessarily support auto-updates, so you may have to trigger the update manually within your game library with an internet connection.
