This new update does not work with the EoTech skins. It will not let me load the game with these downloaded. I keep getting an error message asking me " are you trying to cheat "

Not sure if it's going to do the same for you but, I'm banging my head on a desk right now!

Hmm, uninstall and reinstall? That sucks because I was using the EoTech skins as well. INS forums said they were supported. Darn! I really liked those skins.

I use EoTech skins as well...SKINS FTW, except for when they get rejected..

Getting the same message. I've tried to go in and change the vtf files, but no lucky. Looks like a reinstall is in order, and I'm not going to have time for that tonight...Gonna have to have it set to DL while I'm at work tomorrow, which leaves me without INS tonight :`(.

Somehow i feel vindicated.

One thing they mentioned was the sprint exploit... I had no idea it was an exploit. Kind of ironic, I was giving that as tips to other people.

my god what did they do to the doors.

I just got done playing for the past hr+ and the doors take FOREVER to open.

It wasnt really an exploit, it was more of a joke by one of the developers. During internal testing, one of them kept getting out of sprint and slowing down because he would hit one of the strafe keys, so a coder made it so they don't take you out of sprint. However, it had the side effect of making them faster

So do skins work in INSURGENCY now? Or is it still getting rejected..

 

[USCG Hammer]

As far as I can tell, they are still being rejected.

OK guys it depends on what types of skins you use, if you have any skins for just the way the gun looks (no new sights) they will work, unless its a translucent mag, then it will tell you to delete a few lines for one of the files for that particular gun. I doubt any of the sights will work again considering on their forums they said that they are not allowing people to make requests for any guns with sights that are not standard to the gun in game.

I can understand why the INS Team is saying this but I really liked the EoTech skins ):

Oh man that rocks I now <3 the insurgency developers big time for that call.

I guess my instincts were good in just not bothering with putting in the custom skins. It makes sense that they wouldn't like the skins but I'm sort of surpised at how they changed their mind so unannounced.

As for the rest of the update, I think is good for the most part. They got rid of the sprinting glitch which I'm happy with though I used it a lot. It sure was nice to get from one side of the map to another at what seemed like warp speed to everyone else. And I'm glad that they finally fixed the shooting through the chain link fences. Those fences have really annoyed me many times on Sinjar around Delta.

The change that they've made that I really hate is Almaden. I thought Almaden had a great layout before but now they've made it almost so that you have to go to the left to get to Alpha, and the grand staircase where the washroom used to be just seems really out of place.

The one thing that they still have yet to fix in a year of playing is that you don't need to cock the M16's and M4's every time you pull it out.

lol I've been saying that about gun games for a long time , pulling the charging handle every time you pull out a weapon is fan service. They need to cut that out already , if you did that IRL you'd eject a round from the mag wasting a bullet
