- Warfork 2.15.1 - 21 December 2024
Hey Forkers, We have just released Warfork 2.15.1, which brings two minor updates: - When a user connects to a Steam-enabled server, their SteamID will now be included in the server's log. This should help with server administration/moderation. - Fixed an issue that caused Warfork's Steam service to crash in some scenarios. This fixes crashes for players and servers that have a large amount of pk3 files. Note: Going forward, we will no longer be including previous versions of the game with each release. If you intend to keep demos for the purpose of making videos in the future, we recommend that you create a personal backup/copy of the game's installation directory before or after each new update. If this worries you, we suggest disabling automatic updates for Warfork in Steam. Additionally, you are free to compile a working build of any version of the game that you wish using the open-…
- Optional Dedicated Server Update Part 2 - 22 May 2024
The fix for the occasional hang/crash that was pushed in the last optional update has proven to be problematic. This optional update for dedicated servers reverts that change, while retaining the logging change related to Steam IDs. When a player connects to a server with Steam Auth enabled, their Steam ID is now written to the server's log/console. This facilitates retroactively muting and banning players. Clients do not need to update to play on updated servers.
- Optional Dedicated Server Update - 22 May 2024
An optional update has just been pushed to the dedicated server appid. This update brings the following improvements, brought to you by Velzie: The occasional hang/crash when switching maps should now be resolved. When a player connects to a server with Steam Auth enabled, their Steam ID is now written to the server's log/console. This facilitates retroactively muting and banning players. Clients do not need to update to play on updated servers.
- Warfork 2.15 - 23 April 2024

- Warfork Update - New map: shredder - 21 April 2024
Hey Forkers, WHAT!! has been hard at work on our third Warfork map, "shredder". Today, we bring you the beta version 1 of this map. We would appreciate it if you shared your feedback in this news post. A special thanks to Evillair, Hipshot, and Boqu for the textures. Lastly here's a message from WHAT!!: "Hi forkers it's WHAT again. I was told to create a map around the concept of "toxic" by the powers up on high and I thought it would be fun to put that together with a bit of the old me and let loose with something a bit more free and wide. You all are probably going to haul some serious ass on this map. I look forward to all the insane movement people come up with. Thanks to our patient testing team for all the times I have pestered them for input. Have fun!"
- Warfork 2.14 Game Update - 2 April 2024
Hey Forkers, Today, we're excited to announce an update featuring Steam Integration (primarily focused on moderation tools), along with fixes for Discord integration and various other improvements. You can find the changelog below. We'd like to extend a special thanks to "coolelectronics" for implementing Steamworks SDK, Mark "learn_more" Jansen for conducting code reviews for all Steamworks related code, Cyanic for advising us on various Steamworks obstacles, and Josh "Gelmo" Gelman for leading beta testing. Additionally, we wish to express our gratitude to Michael Pollind for his contributions to the renderer, and to Ashley 'LadyHavoc' Hale and Michael 'mikejs' Savage for their invaluable guidance and code reviews, as requested. Steam Integration: Steam IDs are now visible when using the "status" command (rcon required) or typing "players". Implemented Warfork Steam Community bans. Se…
- Minor Warfork update - 23 March 2024
Hey Forkers, You might have noticed a "game update". Previously, when you downloaded Warfork, it fetched the Windows, Linux, and MacOS versions regardless of your operating system. We've moved each respective version into its own depot. So, for future updates, if you're running Windows, you'll only receive the Windows version of Warfork. Another change you might notice is that the odd directory structure previously used is no more. For example, on Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\fvi\fvi-launcher\applications\warfork\Warfork.app\Contents\Resources\basewf has simply become C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\fvi\basewf. Lastly, we wanted to inform everyone we've removed 32-bit builds of Warfork and will no longer support them. We're sorry for any confusion and will make this change to the Warfork Dedicated Server as well tonight. You can expect an actual g…

- Warfork Update - New map: pressure - 1 March 2024
Hey Forkers, WHAT!! has been hard at work on our second Warfork map, "pressure." Today, we bring you the beta version 1 of this map. We would appreciate it if you shared your feedback in this news post. A special thanks to Boqu for the textures and Jazcash, goreyzr, snuffy, Oizo, TheCodingDucc, Klaufir, farmz0r, Froid, sd1290, t3lly, and Maarten for playtesting the map. Lastly here's a message from WHAT!!: "Sup ya'll it's ya boi WHAT!! again. Here is the second map in a series of however many I can knock out before I burn out. This one isn't quite as "zoom-zoom" as Return and the combat is a bit tighter. During play testing it produced some VERY interesting and fun games. A special thanks to Boqu for the incredible texture set he provided for this map and a huge thanks to Oizo for his help and insight during the layout construction. He's my rude muse and I'd be stuck in the weeds withou…

- Update notes for July 29 - 29 July 2021
- We have extracted all the Warfork Testing PK3 files once again since the previous update is now live. If you have a limited amount of bandwidth per month we urge you to uninstall the FVI Launcher DLC (which contains Warfork Testing).
- Minor game update - 26 July 2021
Hey Forkers, We bring you a minor update to squash some bugs which were pestering players. We're in the process of working on models amongst many other things at the moment and will have more news shortly. - Fixed a player name bug. (thank you klaufir) - Teamcolored textures now work after 2nd map loading - Server containing only spaces as hostname no longer take up two lines in the server browser. - Added const uint8 cClient::buttons to AS. This property allows gametypes to check the pressed buttons of a given client. This way a gametype can detect whether a player is pressing his attack button at a given time. This could be used to to implement controllable vehicles for example. Intercepting the +attack command has proven to be an unreliable method to accomplish something like that. - Added some administration functions to AS. This changeset allows gametypes to * promote/demote operat…
- FVI Launcher added - 16 July 2021
Hey Forkers, We've renamed the "Warfork Testing" DLC to "FVI Launcher", which now gives you quick access to the Warfork Map editor of choice (Netradiant Custom) bundled with the Warfork Game Pack + Map Sources, Warfork, and Warfork Testing via an easy to use launcher. For the time being the launcher is only for 64-bit Windows. If you have the DLC installed and click Play you'll be prompted with the "Warfork" and "FVI Launcher" as choices. If this bothers you: 1. Right click Warfork 2. Click Properties. 3. Click DLC 4. Uncheck what should be listed as "Warfork Beta", "Warfork Testing", or "FVI Launcher" depending upon when you activated it. A handful of programs, tutorial videos, new features, and more will be added shortly. Notes: 1. To change launch options for each application please edit: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\fvi\fvi-launcher\config\metafiles\windows.wf.metad…
