HellForge 0.1.4 BETA

An update to the HellForge beta with two crash fixes. Download HellForge-Setup.exe below and run it. On an
existing installation it offers Update and keeps your game copy, profiles and mods.

Co-op: everyone in a group should update to 0.1.4. The in-game editor changed, so its modlist code changed too.

Fixed

• Hell Forge difficulty: opening the map crashed the game on missions with many objectives and a route (a convoy
  path, say). The map has room for 16 markers; the route's marker went past them. It stops at 16 now: on the biggest
  missions some objectives may have no marker on the map, but the map opens.
• In-game editor (F8): typing a number into a list of choices crashed the game, for example in a weapon's
  third-person reticle.

Changed

• Weapon reticles are picked by style. "Third-person reticle" was a Yes/No choice, but the game stores a reticle
  style there, so "Yes" gave the weapon a different reticle. It now lists the styles the game's weapons use, each named
  with the weapons that have it ("Railgun (15): RS-422 Railgun..."), so any weapon can take another's reticle. Type the
  number or a name to find one. If you saved "Yes" or "No" on a weapon before, that field shows a bare 1 or 0 now (an
  odd reticle in game): reset it or pick a style. HD2R Editor presets still import: off is no reticle, on is the weapon's own.

If a session won't start

• Windows never asked for permission to add the firewall rules: look for a flashing shield in the taskbar, or start
  HellForge once with Run as administrator. The rules stay, so later starts need neither.
• "Required loopback/egress controls failed": something on your PC is letting traffic past Windows Firewall,
  usually a VPN with a kill switch or another firewall (Kaspersky, Norton, Bitdefender, ESET, Portmaster...). Close or
  pause it and start the session again.

You need

• Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), and HELLDIVERS 2 on Steam, build 25480438
• Steam running and signed in to an account that owns the game or has it through Steam Family Sharing
• About 25 GB free on the drive you install to, and one Windows administrator prompt
• Windows Firewall switched on for every network type (setup checks and tells you)

Windows SmartScreen may warn that the setup is unrecognised: it is not code-signed yet (More info > Run anyway).
