Nuclear Dawn Update Released
Nuclear Dawn - psychonic
An optional update for Nuclear Dawn has been released. THe notes are below.

  • Fixed issues getting stuck unable to spawn sometimes when there are many bots in the server.
  • Fixed supply stations bypassing player cooldowns for receiving more grenades and hypospray shots.
  • Fixed bots not knowing how to path about commander-built walls and barriers.
  • Added new server config bot_profiles.txt to cfg folder for server operators to be able to configure bot profiles. Default one ships with many more profiles per difficulty.
  • Stealth class bots will no longer be automatically added (such as via bot_quota) by default until they are reworked. ConVar bot_stealth_enable has been added for ability to override.
  • Other minor bot improvements.

Notes from August 5th update.

  • Tutorial videos are now streamed online rather than stored locally.
  • Other file cleanup, with the above, causing the game to take up 15-20% less space on disk.
