A new update is out for Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm that includes bug fixes and quality of life improvements.

A link for the update is available here or via Steam.

What’s New in Version 2.1.4.8795
Please read the attached document above for the full changes.

To add a little to what MaximKI said...

Update 2.1.4.8795 brings you several new QoL features. To summarize - and this is all backwards compatible - the radio log has been redesigned so that it can be customized with filters. These filters will let you tailor the log to give you specific information based on the tags you select. If you want to see information about shooting, movement, or reinforcements arriving you can filter out all the extra bits and focus on the info you need.

Also included are tweaks to the command cycle. Larger formations like Brigades will now generally have a shorter loop - previously they were a bit more cumbersome than you would realistically expect.

There are also plenty of smaller QoL features included - a fullscreen mode is now available by pressing the F11 key and artillery units can now be ordered to counterbattery fire at the end of a move, et cetera et cetera.

Happy hunting everyone!

Yes, the team really hopes you like the new changes and that you enjoy the update to the game!

Thank you!

I waited quite a while before pulling the trigger on FCCW: Southern Storm. I am having an absolute blast playing this. I also have Red Storm and the qualitative difference is incomparable, and I have a ton of love for Red Storm, too! This is a fantastic game and well worth the wait!

Aztec, glad you like it and we think it is a leap well above Red Storm in every way. Hopefully, the new game will be better still as we work hard to make it more detailed and easier to get started with for new players.

Hi all,

I noticed that FMs 7-10 are not mentioned in the update notes. Are these documents still being worked for release?

I'm slogging through the last one and also have a few tasks that bumped up the priority chain this week, so I need to deal with those, and then I can get back to the docs. Hopefully, I will release them in the next two weeks so folks can review them, and I can make additions and corrections, plus get things rolling on the doc for Cold War.

Thanks for the update. Will these FMs include instructions for changing the actual game mechanics and rebuilding a modded executable?

No. That would require developer-level access.
