Hi everyone,

We would like to express our apologies for the 0.6.7 update we have released on Steam last night. Indeed, a game breaking bug that occurred for all of you made us take the decision to roll back the update: at the moment, you should all be playing with the 0.5.2 version. This is actually the first time this is happening to us and we will do our best to make sure this does not happen again

Unfortunately, this means that those of you who have downloaded the 0.6.7 update and then went back to the 0.5.2 update have had the player profiles and heroes unlocked reset. We have warned you in the past that this was expected at some point, because we are constantly adding/improving some features, but we know it can still be somewhat frustrating. But please note that the reset was going to happen eventually, as we have reworked on the requirements that you need to fulfil to unlock the heroes.

We have fixed the problem that was reported by our players and submitted a new version to our QA team, and it looks like it’s been resolved (yay!), so we should go back to what we had planned for you: “Bite The Dust” update [0.6.9]. We took the liberty of unlocking temporarily some heroes for you (7 instead of 3): this way, you will be able to play the new version (almost) like you would have, and we are hoping you will forgive us for the inconvenience we may have caused. And in the future, don’t get attached to your heroes too much, this situation may occur at least once, before the release, in order to start things fresh!

We are looking forward to your feedback and are hoping you will enjoy the update.

Sincerely,
Amplitude Studios
