Massive update/overhaul dropped yesterday! 15+GB download. New maps, weapons, graphics, fixes, you name it. Read more here.
It’s looking real good now.

Yes the appearance has improved quite a bit, and that bug where the fps dropped to below 10 while altering your loadout is fixed.
I haven’t had a chance to test if the ninja Terminator Mr Smith AI was changed yet.
The new AI isn’t really that new, but it’s been really tweaked. It’s still going to demand your focus, but no more armies of John Wicks in yellow hoodies. It still sometimes sees through walls, but its accuracy, its reaction times, etc. have all been adjusted.
The MP7 is pretty damn great, too.
My biggest beef isn’t the enemy AI it’s the teammate AI… why are they still watching corners when they enter a room, not doors? Why are they still waiting so long to engage someone with a gun. F that, wait till they point at you crap, they didn’t drop it, drop them already. lol. And why am I not getting protected from another bad buy while I handcuff one bad guy. Self-protection and teammate protection should be priority.
And my biggest beef… where the hell are the road patrol units? they are first on scene and set up a perimeter, so no one comes in or out. Tired of entering a main door, clearing the room, stacking on other doors only to have some guy come in the front door we just entered and cleared and shoot 4 of us immediately. lol True story.

Said every player since SWAT2.
I’d also like trailers to be a real thing. Been calling for them for 20 years, never seen one in a game.

Police Quest: SWAT had them in a few missions. There was some other SWAT 3 knock off that basically had level checkpoints work that way. The level sealed off behind you as other units had it “secured.”

The new update is beautiful, great improvements to lighting, graphics, and even some of the levels.
My FPS actually went up too, which was unexpected (was ~90, now 110-120 pretty stable).
The AI has been improved, and it’s a step in the right direction. 
I would love to see some TvT in this game. Maybe some day!

Had a chance to play a bit before work tonight. The talent agency level is actually much less disturbing than I was expecting considering how the preview level had been setup. Still disturbing just not as bad as the Hull House level.

Just FYI…
Ready or Not is leaving Early Access with a massive 1.0 update, which includes a dive deep into the immersive single-player campaign – Commander Mode. The 1.0 release update significantly expands the number of missions, completely overhauls most missions from Early Access, and offers much more additional content, customizations, and quality of life improvements.
Personally I think they were forced to rush it out the door, the AI has been needing a lot of work and no mention of it, just more “toys”. imo
ADDED: 12/13 I believe the release date is.

Thanks for the heads up, I’ll need to redownload it. I had uninstalled it to let them keep working on it, same with Ground Branch.

I really want it to be better so I also will be reinstalling, but like Mag I’m afraid the AI hasn’t had enough time devoted to it.
However, if it’s improved, even if it’s not great, I will go back to it and hope they release a 1.1 that further helps… but we will have to be ready to find that there will be no further free updates.
The AI Rework has been at the forefront of their efforts. Their last big update was a year ago and it’s been part of the focus across 2023.
1.0 comes out in days… AI revamp, I really hope so, will see.
(I’m leaving in a couple days for Germany till after holidays, Father-in-Law funeral, not for fun unfortunately, so won’t get to test or broadcast it till return, just FYI.)

My condolences.
I’ll be playing it to hell and back, I’ll be happy to provide you with what I experience and even some video maybe.
Just FYI… Ready or Not v1.0 comes out any minute. If it works and all goes well will broadcast a first look of the single player part of the game around 2 PM Eastern. Come join me live or watch later if interested. Remember, a first look. Casual broadcaster and crappy gamer here. lol

Just FYI make sure you download the right version, Steam first offered the 100 GB version which was the EA, v1.0 is 58 GB. BTW broadcasting at 2 Eastern.

If you watched my stream, apologies for the bad language. I was not prepared for that after what happened with my dog recently.
But, even thou I sucked I did show all the features and a nice headshot incident too. lol

So far, it’s pretty great. I love having AI teammates I can actually depend on and the foe AI is nice and aggressive. I feel that most people complaining that the AI is BS don’t go slow AND they most certainly never utilize the doorwedge.That little doorstop is the most underrated piece of kit available.
