We just released to all server admins a server-side only hotfix lowering the map edge distance check when placing Forward Outposts from 200m to 10m. We kept it at 10m so there's still a check to avoid out of bounds placements, considered as exploits.

There's still a 200m check when placing FOs in the Command and Control game mode, since the Forward Outposts are the main objectives of that mode. That's the distance all defenses can be placed in relation to the FO, so we don't want to see people using the map edges as an artificial defense multiplier.

It's up to server admins to update their servers, and players don't need to do anything but join the servers like normal.

Great change, 200m was a bit much for regular AAS games.

And it's nice to see that the feedback given on these boars gets converted into fixes. R-DEVs ftw

This will make a lot of people pleased. Thank you!

Great fix. Keep it up!

Good job. when i heard there will be a limit on how close to the edge of the map you could place a FOB i thaught it would be somthing like 10m to begin with

Thanks! 200m was to much made it very hard on 1km maps

Great, good idea.

Well done! ^_^

Insurgency and AAS are back!

yay ive been waiting for this fix

Now if there was only a way to tell which servers have applied the update and which have not. But I am glad that it's out. And I might add sooner then I thought it would be.

Server admins have been informed and given a release date for this patch. It wont be long

Awesome, good to see you guys were on top of this quickly.

Thanks for this fix - it is very handy.

Cudos and respect out to the DEVs.

very nice thank you

If you guys notice the server you frequent does not have this important hotfix installed, please let their admins know!!

hell yeah thanks DEVs

Lol, how many different threads, pages, whatever complaining about this, and now only two pages on it when it gets fixed.

Ah well

happy bout change!
