Respawn time is now 60 minutes.

Added Lua scripting for custom game rules, player and inventory controls, gameplay callbacks and custom UI. Reduced Heavy Machine Gun damage per shot from 11 to 10. Reduced the Heavy Machine Gun aimed movement multiplier from 0.40 to 0.30. Increased Heavy Machine Gun damage falloff at longer distances.

Devlog #602026-03-11Hi everyone. We have been hard at work to get the next update ready for you. Here are all the things you need to know. Wipe Delayed As we have realized that the update is not ready for the next scheduled wipe, we have decided to postpone the wipe so we can deliver the new map and wipe in the same update. This is necessary since there will be new restricted areas in the map that cannot be built on, and we want to ensure everyone starts on equal footing with the new content. We know this might be disappointing for some of you who were looking forward to a fresh start, but we believe the wait will be worth it when you experience everything Wild
Devlog #592026-02-06Good evening everyone. I will jump right into the news and topics of Longvinter. First of all, I want to let you know that we have noticed the performance degradation on some US and KR servers and we will continue to work on getting the performance to an acceptable level on all servers. That has always been a goal and will be in the future as well. Next Update Engine Upgrade Yes, we will be upgrading our engine from Unreal Engine 5.4 to 5.7. The main reason for this is that as we prepare for the console release, this upgrade will be necessary for compatibility with cross-platform support. This engine version is also more focused on performanc

Server Wipe & Devlog #562025-08-22Status Update Hi everyone! Official servers have now been wiped! Many of you are probably wondering if anything was updated alongside the wipe. I'm really sorry to inform you that there is no feature update included with today's wipe. We have been working on other small projects during the holiday season, which means Longvinter development has been put on hold temporarily. We will continue developing the farming update after we wrap up these other projects. I want to emphasise that we are still working on fixing critical bugs and issues in Longvinter like the current connection issues, even though we have other things going on in the studio.
Devlog #552025-08-01Hello everyone! The global official server wipe is closing in on us, so we felt like this was a good time to go over some changes to the servers we will be hosting on August 22nd. Also, I would like to remind you that there is only one week left to get pet tackle box drops until they stop! Server Changes on Global Official Server Wipe We have seen a considerable drop in player numbers since the launch of the game, so we will be reducing the server capacity by a lot to have all the players on the same servers instead of divided across multiple half-empty servers. But don't worry if the demand is high, we will be opening new servers for each re
