FAQ - If you're having trouble getting started, have a look here for basic questions.

Q: Can I play Skyfront on Oculus Rift?

Yes, Skyfront runs both on HTC Vive and Oculus Rift with cross-platform networking. Only requirement is a Steam account.

Q: How do I install the beta?

To play Skyfront beta, you must first install it on Steam. Select Activate a Product on Steam… option and enter the Activation Key. From there on, simply follow on-screen instructions and voila!

Q: Yay! I’m in the Main Menu, which game mode should I choose.

We currently have two game modes - Single Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch. They use the same map and have no wait period - a match will start even if there’s just one player. However, safest bet would be to choose the Quickmatch option - you will be added to first available match of any game mode that is already in progress.

Q: I’m in a match, but there’s no-one here.

Our matchmaking system should match you automatically with other players. If there are no matches going on in specific game mode, try going back to the Main Menu and choose Quickmatch. Additionally, we have set up happy hour from 6-9PM (GMT) when there should definitely be other players.

Q: So how do I move?

Switch to Speedshifter (push arrow up on your Vive trackpad or Oculus joystick). Now simply point the device in the direction you want to go and pull the trigger. It’s as easy as that. Once you get the hang of moving around, make sure to try out Doubleboost and Grappling Hook to move even faster.

Q: How do I use this Doubleboost and all the other stuff?

Here’s a visual guide to using controllers in our game. You will also find these instructions in the Controls subsection of the Main Menu.

Q: How do loadouts work?

A weapon loadout in Skyfront is a set of weapons and abilities tied to your controller. You have 2 weapon slots and 1 special ability slot per hand. Weapon slots are same for both hands - so if you choose a revolver and a rocket launcher for one hand you will have them in other hand as well.

Special abilities can be different for each hand, but you can also choose the same ability for both hands.

Note: If you change a loadout or a weapon while in a match, the change will be applied once you respawn.

Q: Flying makes me sick. Also, I’m afraid of heights.

That’s actually a statement, not a question. But we get your point, we’ve had testers who feel a bit overwhelmed the first time around. However, they tend to adapt quickly and once the adrenaline kicks in there’s no turning back. Concentrating on killing your opponents helps a lot.

Q: Game is blurry and laggy.

This is probably due to low frame rates. Try going to the options section in the Main Menu and setting graphics settings to low. Also make sure your gaming setup meets the minimum requirements listed on Skyfront Steam page.

Q: There is no sound.

Make sure Skyfront preview window is active in your desktop.

Q: Game/menu/weapon freezes, how do I get back to playing?

Try respawning or exiting to main menu and rejoining. If all else fails, restart the game. And please let us know of any problems and bugs you encounter. It’s just helps us immensely in making the game better.

Q: I found a bug. Where can i report it?

Report it here on Skyfront Beta message board. Any feedback is extremely welcome.

Q: Game looks incomplete, what gives?

Skyfront is in active development and the look and feel of the game will change dramatically before we launch Early Access. There will be major updates to animations, vfx, level assets and lighting. We will also add a revamped UI. We will also add some features which we’ll announce later on.

Our reasoning for this beta is to get early feedback to the basic mechanics and gameplay and work out the kinks in networking side of things. So expect bugs here and there. But mostly, get in on that sweet VR multiplayer action.

Q: What features are you planning to add after Early Access launch?

LOTS. Progression system, character & weapon customization, navigation mechanics etc. Most importantly, more weapons, more abilities, more levels. However, if you feel there’s some cool feature that absolutely should be in the game, please let us know in the message boards. We are listening.
