Back again to kick off the week with a new Deadline Update!

Big changes for the overworld areas and some improvements to the Office and Cave Dungeons... Shroud/Fog of War has been brought to the overworld areas, and this definitely increases tension, difficulty and makes for more tactical encounters outside of dungeons. You'll also find that exploring the Caves in the Parks Hub is more difficult with the Infested crawling out from the crevices around the walls of the caves.

Enjoy!

• Added Fog of War to the overworld sections of the game
  
• The map for dungeons now only shows explored areas
  
• Fog of War now reveals more when a soldier leans from full cover
  
• Fixed issue where sometimes ammo pickups would stick around on the map when switching dungeon floors.
  
• Revamped enemy spawns in dungeons
  
• Added more roaming enemies to the Park
  
• Some layout changes to dungeons
  
• Fixed toggling advance time using tab when it should have used the space bar.
  
• Fixed some objects “sparkling” on Mac and Linux
  
• Fixed loot crates in the office that may spawn facing the wall
  
• Lowered the chance for critical shots for LMGs, SMGs, and Assault Rifles
  
• Added cooldown to the Provoke tactic
  
• Zoomed in the minimap on dungeons so it doesn’t give away as much of the layout
  
• Fixed issue with human enemy animations where they might look weird when crouching
  
• Fixed issue where a soldier with Out With a Bang might explode in the safehouse
  
• Added roaming enemies and balanced existing in the docks
  
• Balanced enemies in the residential district
  
• Added a tactics heavy human focused floor in Jupiter Enterprises (Office)
  
• Added a finale battle at the top of Jupiter Enterprises
  
• Added in Infested in Caves that crawl out of the holes on the side of the cave walls
  
• Set more accurate "Par Times" in all of the encounters across the campaign

Thanks for all of the feedback and updated reviews! It fuels the team forward. The game is still growing and improving. Keep it coming!

We're back with our 5th post-launch update! We have some bug fixes and improvements we think everyone will appreciate. You can now use some cars to trigger car alarms that will attract the nearby infested when they are set off, distracting them. Look around Harbor City and the Parks for cars with blinking dashlights.



We are now working on some more in-depth improvements and optimizations that are going to take a bit more time to complete and test to ensure stability. What that basically means is that we'll be skipping next Friday as far as updates go, and we will return in September with some more updates for everyone.

As always, we want to thank all of you in the community for all the feedback and bug reports in the forums. Keep them coming!

Changelog!

• Fixed police cars in the docks that weren't being treated as cover.
  
• The player can now choose to skip the prologue when starting a new game, even if they do not already have a save file.
  
• Fixes to the controller check to prevent the game from sometimes defaulting to show XBox buttons when no Xbox controller is plugged in.
  
• Fixed pathing issues in docks.
  
• Fixed door to building in the docks that player shouldn't have been able to enter (it led to an empty area).
  
• Fixed issue where sometimes door map icons would be rotated sideways.
  
• Fixed door icon showing on the minimap for a door that could not be entered in the docks.
  
• Fixed door that could be walked through in the docks to an empty building in the docks.
  
• Destroyed Anti-air no longer leave behind tank treads.
  
• Targeting Anti-air now targets the gun part rather than the center of the vehicle.
  
• Fixed bad pathing around chairs in the first floor of the lab.
  
• The 1st floor of the medlabs and the tutorial scene now properly show the map.
  
• Fixed walls sometimes on Medlab floors that could be walked through.
  
• Fixed issue where a dead soldier's icon would sometimes still show on the map in strange locations after changing scenes.
  
• Fixed issue behind diner where stairs were too far off the ground.
  
• Added car alarm cars to the parks area.
  
• Fixed various pathing issues in the parks area.
  
• Fixed an issue where geometry could be seen through in Utility Tunnels.
