- Double Action: Next Update - 14 October 2025
In a few weeks I'll be working on a followup to my previous Double Action update and I want your feedback. But before I get started this is not a changelist! Just because you see something here doesn't mean it will happen this way, and just because you don't see something here doesn't mean it won't appear in the next update! This is just a current working list of the major ideas I'll be looking at.With that our of the way, here are some of the things I'm thinking about for the next update:Tweaks to how health generation works - regen after four seconds if nobody is around, otherwise regen after eight seconds. The new health regeneration sometimes behaves in unexpected ways and I want to make sure the health always comes back appropriately.Fix a visual bug where sometimes you spawn and your health claims to be zero.Don't allow the player to spawn directly on Rat Race checkpoints.The Boun…
- Double Action: Updated Style Skills - 29 July 2025
Hello, fans of Action! For years I have had many updates I've wanted to make to Double Action. I had a week or two free while working on my other game, and I decided I wanted to use that time to check some of those items off my list. The main thing is that every style skill now has a builtin passive! There are also now health bars on enemies and some reworks to Wanted and Rat Race. It's all available to play now on the default Steam branch. Check out the full changelist at the bottom of this post.People often ask me what I've been doing lately. The answer is Eclipse Breaker! It's a combat-focused roguelike where you pick up a 25 year old save file and fight through the final dungeon of an updated JRPG. I've been putting as much effort into making a killer game as I did into Double Action, so if you remember Double Action fondly please do me the pleasure of clicking here and checking it…

Patch no0tes: Updated texture on stakeout Debuffed persuader so it's not a one-hit boomstick anymore (soz) Changed the MOTD to something that we can update regularly Added a phys model for the stakeout so when you drop it it doesn't just slide around the place like a banana Fixed animation sound timing even on stakeout draw animation so it goes "shk chk" when you actually pump the thing. As always, join us in the discord for advance discussion on updates, playtest announcements and general riff raffery! https://discord.gg/rTTfN2dj2m much

- Double Action: Back on the Block - 31 July 2021
Hello everyone! Stormy here. It has been a while. After a brief (6 year) hiatus, I have picked up development on DA again. I have just finished the first pass on all 31 of our achievements for DA and we now have a beta branch LIVE on steam where those achievements can be unlocked. I need people to get in there and test these achievements (as in, achieve them all, or find which ones are broken) before we can make them available on the public branch. There are no beta keys, no obstacles, no rules just switch your DA install to the achievements-test branch and have at it! There are currently 4 servers running the beta branch and you'll need to connect to them manually as they don't show in the server browser. Here are the IP's: UPDATE: the beta server are currently down until further notice. Stay tuned! AU server (Sydney): 45.121.211.102:10005 US server 1 (New York): 160.202.167.29:10005 U…
- If you're not hearing weapon sounds at all since the update... - 17 February 2021
Quick info for everyone wondering why they're still not hearing weapon sounds: We changed the way the server sends sounds to the client. The client now ignores the old "piggy-backed" way of sending weapon sounds in order to prevent double sounds. Servers that aren't updated yet will not send sounds in the new way, yet, which results in not being able to hear sounds at all. So if it happens to you, find another server that is updated (see the list on the previous announcement).
- Double Action: Boogaloo v1.3.2.1 - 17 February 2021
1.3.2.1 offblast! Hello everyone, this time, there's just one change, but this one has probably been annoying most of you a lot. The full changelog can, as always, be seen at: https://github.com/BSVino/DoubleAction/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md Highlights Weapon sounds will no longer fail to play Weapon sounds should now play under all circumstances. Previously, in bandwidth-limited situations, with low rate settings or with low-end server hardware, weapon sounds didn't get transmitted to all clients. For the longest time, I couldn't reproduce this because I have high rate settings, a fairly good internet connection and I was playing on less than full servers. Thankfully, Dementei found some people who not only could reproduce the issue but also had the knowledge to address it. Weapon sounds work now \o/ (If you still don't hear weapon sounds, make sure you're playing on an updated server)…
- Double Action: Boogaloo v1.3.2.0 - 1 January 2021
How's 2021? Does it smell nice? It smells of burnt gunpowder. Less so than the previous year, though. Hello everyone, the world finally made it through 2020, so here's a treat to start out the new year! The full changelog can, as always, be seen at: https://github.com/BSVino/DoubleAction/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md Highlights Melee Rebalance This attempts to balance brawl-centric styles of play with other playing styles by making the following changes: Bring gun brawl (stock attack) damage down to the current level of regular melee attacks, so that you cannot 1-hit-kill people with 100% health even if you have the bouncer's melee buff unless you have a heavy weapon (Persuader/Vindicator/Black Magic). Melee attacks can now no longer be held down for more than 5 punches. People have been abusing the full-auto nature of melee attacks using console commands and this fixes that. Style bar usag…

Small crash fix, thanks Niki for reporting it!
- Double Action: Boogaloo v1.3.1.0 - 16 June 2019
Hello everyone, it's been a while since the last update, but here's a new one, finally! The full changelog can, as always, be seen at: https://github.com/BSVino/DoubleAction/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md Highlights: - Steam rich presence - Now your friends can see when you're falling to your death! - Korean translation - Thanks to 스팀유저! - Map-end votes should actually do something now - unless there's a server mod interfering with it :/ - All melee is now lag-compensated - previously only fistpunch melee was lag-compensated, and only if you left-clicked. - Fast Weapon Switch (hud_fastswitch) now works as intended - no more extra clicks! I've been holding off publishing this update for a while, since I didn't have contact data for many of the servers' admins and was looking for way to trigger auto-update mechanisms that people might or might not have. However, with the recent closure of a bu…

- Double Action: Boogaloo v1.2.2.2 (Update) - 28 May 2017
This server-side patch fixes a rounding error in the vote tallying system, leading to votes failing unless there is no counter-vote. Windows and Linux Steam clients will also automatically update the local server component. This update is not necessary in order to effectively participate in votes. Sorry for taking so long to catch this :) PS: Again with apologies to people hosting hands-off servers on a Mac, we're only releasing this bug fix for Windows and Linux. Mac users can still join v1.2.2.2 servers with v1.2.2. Update: Looks like i briefly broke the server browser. Should be working now.

- Double Action: Boogaloo v1.2.2.1 - 9 October 2016
This patch fixes a couple of bugs in the voting system. On the client side, effective immediately when downloading this update, there are two changes: Prevent situations where there is a preselected choice that you cannot change. In the "Call vote" menu, entries used to be invisible when selected. This has been fixed. On the server side, effective as soon as the server owner updates, there is Tied multiple-choice votes are no longer decided in favor of the topmost choice, but treated as if not enough players had voted. Onwards comrades, power to the people! PS: With apologies to the Mac users among you, we're only releasing this bug fix for Windows and Linux. Mac users can still join v1.2.2.1 servers with v1.2.2.
