Hello, and welcome to the Battle Cry of Freedom Steam discussions.

You probably already know that bcof is a civil war inspired shooter game. But after that, player knowledge varies greatly. I'll be trying to fix that.

My name is Copot. I am not a member of FSE but I do work rather closely with the devs as an admin. So while I do not have all the answers, I'll do my best to respond to people in their posts and I will also be continually adding to a FaQ section below.

FaQ

Q: How do I stay up to date with the latest bcof info?
A: I highly recommend joining the FSE discord to get the latest info. https://discord.gg/battlecryoffreedom

Q: When is the next major update?
A: Idk. Whenever they finish something cool. I'm assuming it's probably going to be bot commanders as they were the closest major feature to being finished last time I asked.

Q: Who are FSE?
A: The official four FSE members are Olafson, Vincenzo, Thunder, and Admiral. There are a handful of additional volunteers assisting with the all aspects of the game such as map development, administration, discord moderation, modeling, etc.

Q:When will there be new units?
A: Admiral is the game's designer and he is currently in Ukraine. His electricity is sporadic but he is doing his best to keep delivering amazing content.

Q: What are the devs doing to increase players?
A: There is a marketing plan. I'm not involved so I don't know the details. From an admin perspective though, we have reevaluated the official sever rules and policies and the official servers will not be the mess that they were on launch. No more instant mutes for a soundboard or admins changing weather settings at random.

Q: Can I set the uniforms that my bots use for Commander battle modes?
A: Yes, you can set them to use the uniform you have set in the profile screen. Go to options, the misc category, and scroll all the way down. Enable the setting that says, "Your bots will use your selected gear items..." Your bots will now use the uniform that you have set for that unit. They will only have the uniform for you though. Other players will not see them. Too much data to transfer it would break everyone's game.

Q: Why do I have such low fps? I have *insert a variety of GPUs*.
A: Bcof is very cpu bound. The 2.0 update brought a lot of improvements but also some issues that we have identified and are working on now. I have a guide to improving performance available here. https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2861950034

Q: When will there be single player?
A: Personally I don't have an exact timeline. There is a playable single player function in the game, but it's mostly used for testing and editing maps at the moment. After the 2.0 update, I suspect that there will be a few updates with bug fixes, then the release of the bot commanders, and then single player might be viable for release.

Q: Controller Support?
A: I know people want it. It's on the list, but it's a long list and I'm not sure of the order.

Q: When will the game be on Geforce Now?
A: We don't know. FSE has done everything on their end to make bcof eligible to be played on geforce now. Only Nvidia and the Geforce Now team can answer that question.

Q: How do I make my own server?

Feel free to ask any additional questions below. I'll be providing occasional updates as well.
