Hello everyone!
A substantial update for Insurgency 2.x (the current version available on Steam) is ready to be deployed. Please find the detailed changelog below. This update addresses many important issues and provides updated versions of some of the most popular maps.
Other maps (not mentioned below) are also being updated with your feedback, so you can expect new patches for them very soon.
Since INS is only available through Steam there's no need to keep the old version numbers. Therefore, you won't find "Insurgency 2.2" or "2.1 final". However, we will refer to the current public branch and its updates with the name "Insurgency Beta 2.x" to differentiate it from Insurgency Beta 3.0 (based on the Orange Box engine and currently under development).
This update will be automatically downloaded and installed by Steam in the following days. Enjoy the battle!

YESSSSSSSSSSSS
oh my, ois that a map thats not set in the deserets of thesameolddesertistan? my my, I might just have to start playing again :P
feltorn -> the map you see on the image is ins_abdallah :) It has been there for quite some time already.
Good to hear all of this. Keep up the great work.
Those are good news. Nice job guys. Cheer up!!
NO SUPRISE THEY DIDN'T ADD THE 'CANCEL' BUTTON BACK TO THE SERVER JOINING VGUI!!!! WHICH IS WHY I CAN'T PLAY THIS MOD!!!!!!
Clearly there's a conspiracy against you. ;)
I used to have that exact same problem. Using the Steam version now though and the problem no longer affects me. I had such a hard time in their forums trying to get anyone to listen to me. I'm a games tester by trade and I left a fairly professional entry in the thread detailing the problem and how I had narrowed it down to that. I also PM'd one of the devs. They dismissed me right out of hand. I cannot believe people *still* have that problem and *still* they don't add a f*****g cancel button! Sheesh. It gets my blood boiling just remembering that problem!
PLEASE for the love of Craziestdan... ADD THAT BUTTON!
Thanks, I wish these idiots would listen! But it's no prob, I only play games/mods where I know a good developer is behind it. I screwed these idiots' mod along time ago ^^
RELOADENG !! for new release :)
looks good but i have a question this is a fairly big update but not the 3.0 orange box? update sry for being confused.
It's an update for the current public version, which is not the OB version.
thanks cant wait for ob update though
I gave this game a pretty harsh review a while ago, but once it was integrated into steam i decided to try it out again. somethings are vastly improved from the last time I played, and somethings have not even been touched. For example, the SVD scope still only has a lenses the size of a quarter *on a 19 inch screen at 1024X768*, although it has greater power and accuracy, and the recoil is greatly balanced since last time. The Enfield scoped bolt action for some reason has been reduced from a 1-2 shot killer to a 3-5 shot killer, that really annoys me because of the bolt action method, if anything at least make the bolt cycling faster. performance *FPS, Latency EC* are alot better. all the scope lenses are still to "dirty" I can understand the acog lenses bing dirty, but the scope lenses need to be cleaner, not sparkling clean, just cleaner. weapon balance it alot better, although the SKS is horrid now, its inaccurate Clumsy shooting cycle, under powered, and the sights have been "squished" in. also the M16 still has the problem of only playing a single gunshot sound on burst fire mode *although it will play 3 sometimes correctly*. but I also had a few models with a EO-tech holosight on them *ak74u and m16* and for some reason when I first ran the game it kept shutting down the game and popping up a window saying "Are you trying to cheat? :) please remove *what ever line* from *path to materials folder* glass.VMT" was this to make sure people don't try and exploit V Models in some way? If so, then I am totally supportive, but whats up with the comical warning box? Well thats all I got to say for now, I have actually started playing this again. Look for me in game under the name "Wilco".
