AWOLOLOL: No More Crashing In ‘Running With Rifles’

There’s a reason that teenagers are not sent to war. It’s because they’d get everyone killed with their nonsensical caveats – “OMG GRENADE LOL”. Look, I’m textspeak savvy but there’s a time and place for ROFL’s and WTF’s and the midst of battle is not one of them. The development team behind top-down sandbox shooter Running With Rifles seems to think differently though. Their version of squad-based tactics is a couple of Oscar Mike’s short of a POM and definitely contains far too many LMAO’s. You won’t be “laughing your ass off” when you have to fumble through the daisies for each one of your charred cheeks though, will you?

 

Considering that battlefield commands consist of textspeak in Running With Rifles, it may not blow your brain out of your arse to find out the programming commands were previously askew as well. Luckily, crashing in the game’s single and multiplayer modes has now been fixed in the latest beta update according to the developers. Hopefully the textspeak banter between soldiers is tweaked before the higher-ups catch on to it too; the last time that happened some things were lost in translation: ‘kill the jews lol j/k’.

 

There’s a changelog alongside the blog post from the developers about the beta update for the petty to read through. For those who want a bit of fun with guns and LOL’s, you can download the demo of Running With Rifles right here and you can purchase the full game if you want more!
