Hello once again,

DESYNC Patch #10 is live now!

It's been a long time coming, but we've finally introduced the ability to play DESYNC with a controller! Any controller should work, in any configuration, and you'll have the ability to swap between controller and kb&m instantly and hopefully without issues.

We've also introduced a bunch of bug fixes, and again have massively improved performance across the board. One issue that has plagued the game for a while are micro-stutters in later levels, and those have finally been eliminated.

I'd like to thank the following people for giving up some of their free time to help test this patch, as without their help this wouldn't have happened!

Hello,

DESYNC Patch #8 is live now!

This patch brings along some polish and shine alongside a few final fixes that've been bugging us for a while. It's been great seeing you guys tackle the leaderboards with strategies old and new and we want to keep making sure as little as possible gets in the way.

The Diffuserrail secondary never sat quite right with us so we've given it a bit of a redux as a burst shot with fairly high stagger. This shot blends well into the penetrating primary and is able to grant some score and an easy Desync in it's own right.

The new Crosshairs look a bit sharper, and also includes some greater insight into the targeted enemy's health (which is now shown as a gradient) and weight class (which also displays how many Health Drops they'll drop when Overkilled!)

--------------------------------------------------

DESYNC Patch #8
(Ver 1.337.99 -- 8/27/17)

--------------------------------------------------

Additions
- New Crosshair system + Appearance
- Altered Diffuserrail secondary fire (rapid shot)
- Added various links to Main Menu
- Added Encounter Rank display within levels in the Codex
- One new Attack Sequence
- Three new Steam Achievements
Fixes
- Fixed camera going below ground when killed by Volumes
- Fixed Xeoron Arrow Shot effects
- Fixed FOV when using Terminals
- Fixed reflected Player projectiles not displaying "Killed by Self"
- Fixed Polyhedrom projectiles flying off randomly sometimes
- Fixed a bug where game would crash if Defender dies while Player is dead
- Fixed Player Account Terminal not displaying relevant input mapping
- Improved movement in Link Network
- Improved visuals of Defender Shapes in Link Network
- Improved visuals of End Level Readout
- Reduced size of some HUD elements
- Updated Shard Tutorial with information on Shard Types
- Updated Weapon Sprites on HUD

Hello,

Steam Trading Cards have finally been added for DESYNC. If all went well, if you own the game and have played it for a couple of hours, you should retroactively immediately have gained 4 cards already.

We especially hope you enjoy the new profile backgrounds.

Hello,

DESYNC was developed over a three year period and every step of the way was wild. We've put together an album of pictures showing what we started with and the iterative process our mechanics, features, and visual style went through.
