OW Community News

We wish to inform you that more changes have been made - we moved OWN to a brand new server. We don't have to worry about limited 50GB disk space anymore, and the hosting itself has few times better parameters than the old one, which makes our site run faster than ever before. Situation should be better for people who have been having connection issues to our server. We will be working to furtherly increase the performance on our site.

This video is both a celebration and a documentary, released on the 20th anniversary of the release of Original War. It documents a journey from humble beginnings, through the development of Original War to the present day, shining a light on every important milestone in the 20 year Odyssey that is Original War.

More changes! We have updated out Multiplayer Ranking and the list of unranked matches. All official multiplayer maps are now scripted (those from latest patches too!) - now the minimap with positions of players generates correctly, no matter the map you're playing on, or players' positions. Maps from the upcoming patch are also included!

Apart from that, the script automatically blocks generating the mapart if they're not programmed into the system (for example, maps from mods) so the system doesn't try to load non-existing files. Display of ranked matches and match charts (for buildings, units, vehicles, crates, oil, and siberite) were also enhanced - now they can load properly at all times.

From now on you can track and analyze all your multiplayer battles, better than even before! Statistics also work for modded games now.

Expect further changes soon!
