Hey everyone!



Our first update is live. We're going for a policy of getting stable fixes out the door as quickly as possible (which is more than likely going to be weekly, every Friday). Whereas our updates were twice a week or more during Early Access, we're going to get things out with a bit more testing time on each build. That doesn't mean updates every other day, it means as soon as we're done (and that could mean a week, maybe two for major issues. I'm not going to lie to you, but I will be as upfront as possible to give you guys real and manageable expectations).

So, the big optimizations are going out the door hopefully in two weeks. This update isn't a fix-all, but we're working hard to get it out soonest!

We're pretty confident that resetting the server cleared up some of the co-op issues that players were running into. We've added some in-game help on the Main Menu in the Multiplayer section, so check that out if you have problems. As always, let us know of any issues that you run into and the steps you took to get them to occur. Post them up in our Bug Report sub-forum and one of the dev team members will respond asap.

Here's your change log, and as always post to our discussion boards, message us and tell us what you're seeing and liking as we continue to fix issues!

• Fixed a save game issue that would occur if you named two squads identically.
  
• Popup menus for fast travel and dungeon shortcut lists no longer spawn off-screen. (
  
• Fixed a pathing issue in the Stadium area of the urban district.
  
• Clamped floating loot crates in the caves safely to the floor.
  
• Fixed an issue with entering dungeons if you'd previously visited floor 20.
  
• Added online co-op connection help tips screen to the main menu.

Hey everyone playing and currently checking this game out.

Launch day is here and we've hit a few growing pains. Our biggest issues right now are optimization and networking in Co-Op. We've overcome a lot of challenges during development, we'll surely overcome these as well over the coming weeks.

One of the major Co-Op problems is that people are having a hard time finding games and getting things going. Our server needed to be brought down on launch day for a brief period of time account for all the new players, but unfortunately there were many players trying to connect while this ocurred. We've got a forum thread here that will hopefully fix you up if you encounter further problems with connections!
http://steamcommunity.com/app/310890/discussions/0/530646715637823817/

As for those of you with optimization issues.

The best we can do right this moment is to apologize and tell you that we're working on optimizations.

We're a small team, a dedicated team and we woke up his morning to see the issues from an even larger group of players. You can be sure we'll do what we can to get you running smoothly as quickly as possible! You can definitely expect a new build on Friday that is focused on global bug fixes that affect the experience. Performance improvements need to be confirmed stable and could take a little longer to get to you, but rest assured that we want to deliver the best game possible.

For those of you that have been with us, thank you so much for all your help! For those of you new to us, we look forward to working with you to ensure that you have an awesome time with Breach & Clear: DEADline!

We love you all, positive and negative! Just know it makes us want to do better!
