UPDATE:The playtest is now over! We didn't expect such an overwhelming amount of players, thank you so much for bearing with the performance issues and getting us all the data we need to resolve these issues. Stay tuned for more info on future testing. Remember to fill out the survey! Operation Overhaul’s first playtest is now live! Jump in game now or within the next four hours and test out completely reworked audio and visuals, as well as a revamped time to kill, UI improvements, and more. We will have more tests (times TBD) during weekends after this one. For this first test these are the areas where we are looking for your feedback:
New map Mesa, night lighting, redesigned layout on Valley, Kodiak improvements, updated prop art
Audio rework that improves weapon/explosive sounds and increases awareness for enemy footsteps and gunshots
Weapon rework including time to kill adjustments, class availability, attachment stat changes, and gadget tweaks
Movement rework including new stand-to-prone and crouch-to-prone animations, mid-air turning sensitivity, increased vaulting speed, and new “tac sprint” feature (faster sprint usable for a short period)
To make this process as easy as possible, we’ve added in game buttons that will take you directly to a bug submission form or feedback form. They are located in the main menu, end of round screen, and pause screen.

Playtest FAQ
How long is the test?
The playtest session will last four hours.
Which maps will be available?
You'll be playing on Kodiak, Mesa, and Valley, with map changes determined through map voting.
Can I choose the time of day?
No, only day time. However we will manually switch some servers to night time.
What weapons and gadgets are available?
All weapons and gadgets are fully unlocked. However, each weapon starts with roughly half of its attachments unlocked, which is about the equivalent of 100 regular kills. You can continue to get kills to unlock more attachments.
How do I join a match?
Use the server browser. Quick Match and the Shooting Range are inaccessible during this test.
Will this affect my live stats?
No. Your live stats will not be impacted by anything you do in this playtest.
Will my progression be saved if I disconnect and rejoin?
No. Playtest progression is not retained if you leave and rejoin a server.
How can I submit feedback or report bugs?
The game includes in-game buttons that allow you to easily submit feedback or report bugs at any time.
Will my keybinds be transferred?
You will have to rebind your keys as they are not able to be transferred to this playtest. What’s next?
Following the playtest’s conclusion, we’ll review your feedback forms, bug report forms, Discord feedback, Reddit, and Steam Discussions to see how you’re liking everything and what needs improvement. You are also free to record, stream, screenshot, and share any game content on various platforms. Be sure to fill out the forms, and we’ll see you in game!
Important Hardware Note
As a result of Overhaul’s graphical and technical improvements, the min spec for BattleBit Remastered has changed:
GPU requirements went up due to the new graphical upgrades
CPU increased because of the expanded audio and destruction systems
Memory usage also rose due to the large amount of new audio and the optimized destruction and lighting features.
Our intention was to keep things at the same level as before, but that ended not being a realistic goal.
NEW MINIMUM: Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system OS: Windows 10 (x64) - Windows 11 (x64) PROCESSOR: Intel Core i5-6600K or equivalent MEMORY: 8 GB RAM GRAPHICS: Geforce GTS 970 or equivalent or better DIRECTX: Version 11 NETWORK: Broadband Internet connection STORAGE: 4 GB available space EDIT: We are aware of an ongoing performance issue and memory leak and we are actively monitoring the situation. If you're experiencing these issues, restarting the game may help. Some of the audio systems and destruction are spiking for a lot of players. We know it’s a pain, but rest assured we are actively collecting very useful in game data for these issues. We appreciate your patience and feedback during this playtest.
