Frequently Asked Questions.
This page lists every frequently asked questions. Please note that Crossverse Eight is in early concept stage, and release date is unknown. Consider this like Valve time and don't expect anything until further information.
Crossverse Eight is the project to achieve what 2022 SF game's original PvE would be for applying similar concepts and plans into the game server.
It is based on Obsidian Conflict with SourceMod.
There was a event named Blizzcon 2019 and 2021 by Blizzard Entertainment, and it mainly showcased the new project, named Overwatch 2. It featured the PvE and leveling system. According to Aaron Keller the concept of this system was from Project Titan, a cancelled MMORPG game made by Team 4 of Blizzard Entertainment.
However, as of May 2023 the PvE game that planned was no more as Blizzard announced the cancellation of the Hero Missions, leveling and talent system and only Story Mission survived.
After couple of months, Story Missions got released. And the result was horrible. Only some people played it and it was total failure. It is just a continuation of Overwatch with just No.2 next to the name.
And finally, Mar 23, 2024. The Blizzard made decision to shift focus on PvP rather than PvE due to failure of Overwatch 2 Invasion mission pack, and most of PvE developers got fired due to recent lay-offs.
Originally, I was certain that I wanted to quit making the game server, as I had lack of money hosting the server due to TF2C, and most of all, Team Fortress: Source 2 got DMCA'd by Valve. But now, situation has changed. I wanted to try again. I now have clear goal in mind.
Additionally I tried Deep Rock Galactic: However many peoples were suffering from high ping things and there is so many Chinese peoples ruining the fun by rushing the game and become hard to prevent such things. This is one of reason I decided to try again.
And this project was born: Crossverse Eight.
'Crossverse Eight' is the squadron that are from various multiverse, such as Toonrun universe, Half-Life universe, Daikon universe and more. As Obsidian Conflict is basically Sven Co-op with Source engine and you are free to change skins, I've made setting that you are playing as one of member of the squadron, to explore various worlds that you haven't seen and accomplishing your missions.
The concept of the name was from one of EnhancedMod classic, named 'Multiverse Madness'.
We will have two server located in Singapore and New York with maximum 150 ping capped. Singapore Server is for NA West/Asia/Oceania Server, while New York server is for NA East/West and Europe Servers. Singapore server is called Server Orange and New York Server is called Server Blue.
No. Unlike 2022 SF game, you will always be free to play.
There is no moderation on the server unlike before. However, people can request votekick to kick out of the player temporarily.
Roon still reserves right to ban people who is excessively being nuisance to others, cheating, directly attacking the server. So don't do that or you get bonked out of the server.
I plan to make it 4 players maximum. Unlike Project Unison, I try to make everything 4 player focused, rather than over 5+ players so you will have to highly rely on your teammates and encourage more teamwork. This also helps to avoid malicious players compromising your gameplay experience.
The cancelled Missions mode from 2022 SF game also are 4 players maximum.
For now, I honestly don't know. If there isn't any plugins or similar features that does same functions maybe I will stick with realistic difficulty as you seen as Half-Life 2 mod, which makes game more realistic combat experience.
However, the main philosophy such as 4 players, various missions and maps, will remains the same.
Project Unison is no more, and this project is NOT the same as Crossverse Eight. This project will always remain independent, unlike my previous failed works.
Depends. Maybe it might be cancelled if I don't have enough fund or some personal reason to manage the server.
Project Unison is actually the TF2C server which focused on PvP experience. However now many alternatives of TF2 are there, and I didn't felt the necessary to host it. This project is solely to focus on PvE Co-op experience that 2022 SF game failed to do it.
The hosting provider usually have 1GB RAM, and Valve Developer Community wiki states that Source Dedicated Server with 1GB RAM can run 60 players maximum. Probably I will start with 2 servers at the beginning, but will increase more capacity if there is more players joining the game.
Yes, probably it will use Steam Workshop instead of FastDL. This helps me reduce the cost of the game server. I might try using VScript mods for some features as well if supported.
However, to provide best experience I will NOT include Saysounds or cosmetics and focus on simplicity of the game.
Less likely. This focus of the PvE is to provide new and unique campaigns made by community, so not really.
Nope. Not at all. Friendly reminder that this project is community-made and not affiliated with either Blizzard Entertainment, Valve Corporation, and Obsidian Conflict Team.
