Patch Notes: War Star Empire

New this week in War Star Empire:

Attention, Martians!

The desktop client is now officially available for download! You can download it HERE.

Some of you may have gotten it in advance during the Facebook issue last week. If you did, no need to download again!

The difference this time is, you can migrate your main account to the desktop client – by yourself – and play from either platform! You can do this via the self-service migration tool, which can be found on the Store. Interested? Please follow the steps below VERY carefully.

Migration Steps

1. Download the client via the above link
2. Install the client, run, and create a new account, preferably, via Microsoft or Google.
3. Skip the tutorial, go to your player info, and write down your newbie account’s player ID.
4. Open up your main account on Facebook, and simultaneously run both for a bit so your newbie account is recognized as an alt.
5. Go to the Store and purchase the “Start Account Migration” item. It will not be active on the store unless you have your Battlehouse account recognized as an alt.

6. Activate item from Warehouse, and enter your newbie account’s player ID.

7. Go back to your newbie account on the client, and check the mail for the “Confirm Account Migration” item.

8. Activate the item from Warehouse, and restart the Thunder Run client. You should now see your main account. If you don’t, please wait 1-2 hours and run the client again.

If you want your old Facebook avatar in-game while using the downloadable client, please go here and log in with your client credentials, and change your avatar from there.

IMPORTANT: As you may have noticed from the screenshots, there are at least THREE warnings that you will LOSE the alt account. If you complete the whole process, we take it that you have acknowledged all three warnings and understood what would happen.

New features will be added to the desktop client over time, so stay tuned!

Attention, Commanders!

War Star Empire is currently disabled by Facebook as part of their regular policy compliance sweeps. All other Battlehouse games have passed this year’s review, and we’re not sure why War Star did not, considering that our compliance configurations are identical in all games.

We are currently working with Facebook to resolve this issue, and we appreciate your patience while we bring the game back to Facebook.

If you can’t wait for the Facebook issues to resolve to get back into the action, we can have an impromptu beta of the War Star desktop client. You can download it here: https://bit.ly/3IB7u7I

To use the app, please follow these steps.

1. Install and open the app
2. Create a new account (for quickest processing, we recommend you use your Facebook account for this)
3. Start the game and find that you now have a “new” Level 1 account
4. Grab the player ID for this “newbie” account (you may need to play a little bit of the tutorial first)
5. Send this “newbie” player ID, and your original WSE player ID (or callsign) to:
   • Wulfstan (https://bit.ly/3uH16pJ) via direct message on Facebook
   • bh-nirgal on Discord (https://bit.ly/3c4knuG) via direct message (right-click on his name, then click “Message”)
   • Support team (https://bit.ly/3Piu8nm)

Step 5 is absolutely necessary, as we will need to migrate your Facebook account to the client. Without this step, you will NOT be able to play your old account on the beta client.

Friends Bar Clan Integration

And that’s not all, Commander!

For the past few months, the gifting system has been popping in and out of existence. Unfortunately, this is due to Facebook breaking something on their side, and is not something we are able to fix on ours.

So we’ve been looking for ways to break free of this reliance on Facebook, and the first step to do that is now here: the “Friends” bar will now show clan members!

A transparent clan logo on a player in your friend bar will indicate that they are a clanmate.

As mentioned before, this is just the beginning. This will be developed further down the road, so stay tuned for more updates!

End of Season 21 Clan Tournament

Heads up, Martians!

From June 30th – July 7th, 2022, rally your Clan and head to the regional map for your chance to be the strongest Clan of Season 21!

Tournament ends on July 7th, 2022 at 1700 GMT, at which point winners will be announced, prizes awarded, and leaderboards will be reset for the new season. It’s important to note that you should stay in the same Clan through the end of the tournament and for at least one hour afterward, until at least 1800 GMT to ensure your Clan’s prizes are scored correctly.

Season 22 opens on July 7th, 2022

• The new season will begin immediately after the end of the tournament.
• Please be reminded that PvP points can only be accumulated on “Highlands” maps.

“Zombie” Battalion Debuff Update Details

And that’s not all, Commander! Last week, we released an update that was intended to address feedback regarding dead or “zombie” battalions. We’d like to clarify a few things, so here are some more details.

The weakened unit debuff previously applied only to attackers, as attackers often have an advantage over defenders due to having a human at the controls. This was causing some unintended effects in the field.

Base defenders and batts immediately next to their own home base do not get the debuff when defending. Batts deployed out in the field now get the debuff.

Keep your batts in fighting shape, Commander, and call them home when they get low on health.

Batt speed will likely soon be adjusted as well to take into account the speed debuff that applies to weakened units.

Voice of the Martian Updates

We’re celebrating with a quality-of-life update based on your player feedback that’s intended to address a few of the issues and suggestions that you’ve brought forth to us.

Combat Inventory Bar Config Update

You can now go to your Settings and opt to configure your Inventory Bar to Two Columns.

If you choose Two Columns, your Inventory bar will now be split between Boosts and Missiles, drastically decreasing the amount of scrolling you need to do if you have a lot of them.

Don’t see the update you were hoping for in this week’s releases? Fear not, as there is still plenty more to come!
