Bug Fixes:

• Fixed an issue where Enriched Fuel and Warp Fuel would disappear when used as fuel for reactors.

• Fixed Teleporter Pad window not showing other teleporters.

• Fixed Teleporter Pads not being able to be disassembled.

• Fixed decorations not costing items to build.

-Fix to audio levels and audio slider settings functionality for the final scene in episode 1
-Fix to Galen's tutorial pop-up on Vanderstenk scenarios in the episode 2 gameplay shift preventing players from progressing
-Fix to Pause Menu not responding to player input when pausing during a scenario with choices in gameplay shifts
-Fix to Hero Roster disappearing after completing the Museum Hacking, preventing players from progressing through the gameplay shift in episode 2. Related to low FPS.

To address player feedback regarding the game's optimization issues, the upcoming Alpha 1.0.3 update on Friday (10/24/2025) will add three tile density modes:

• Low (7,000 tiles across Europe)

• Medium (22,000 tiles across Europe)

• High (42,000 tiles across Europe)

As of Alpha 1.0.2, the game's Europe-only map has 42,000 tiles and uses a 16384x8192 tile index map. This is very computationally intensive and high-end hardware is required to play at this extreme level of tile density (more expensive rendering and pathfinding, more frequent tile updates, etc), hence why the minimum specification requirements are so high as of now.

The lower tile density modes (Low and Medium) will offer higher performance for all systems and they will allow players who prefer larger tiles to play on the map that fits their preferences.

All tile density modes are all planned to have the same states and provinces to ensure macro-level gameplay remains the same across all tile densities, so once historical provinces and states are added to the game, tile density would determine how many sub-province subdivisions (municipalities) each province has.

Even with these tile density modes (and keeping inherent hardware limitations in mind), I'll try my best to optimize the core systems to improve the game's performance on all tile density modes for broader accessibility.

If time permits, the Alpha 1.0.3 update will also come with bug fixes, optimizations, and potentially new features.

Hello Wild Ones,

We will be performing a live update at 03:00 AM PT on October 23. Ongoing matches will not be affected during the update, but matchmaking will be temporarily unavailable. Please exit the game, update your game client via Steam, and then relaunch the game.

  • Assault Rifles:

    • Adjusted the recoil for the NK47 and AS-VAL, reducing the frequency and magnitude of horizontal recoil deviation.

  • Submachine Guns (SMG):

    • Increased the magazine capacity for all SMGs except the DMP.

    • Reduced the maximum spread (both hip-fire and aimed) for the PPsh and M10.

Combat Cat Studio

Changes in level 324 (Dream Park with balls):

• Some balls, including one required, have been moved to the activation room. Now, activating one ball is enough to open the passage to the second area (this ball is located directly in the activation room). This means that the second area can now be reached by simply pushing the required ball, which is already in the required room, without having to drag it halfway through the level.

• An alternative passage has also been added that opens if you activate all the balls as before. In this case, you can take the alternative exit to the stairs, skipping the second area with the large, shape-shifting ball.

• The gravity zones that assist in pushing the balls have been expanded, and the doorways have become much larger, making the process less frustrating. A hint has been added in the form of different lighting for the correct and incorrect balls in the rooms where they were originally stored. A keystroke hint for interacting with the large ball in the second area of ​​the level has been added.

Changes in level 1229 (Cinema):

• The flickering sound is now twice as quiet.

• The second ticket on the floor at the entrance to the first hall has been slightly enlarged and moved to the center.

• A disclaimer about shocking content has been added before the movie starts on the projector (it is also present when interacting with the projector in the third hall; this will be fixed in the next patch).

Beginning house level:

• Added a key hint for interacting with the first door in Will's room.

• Fixed the flickering in the house across the street.

• Keys during QTEs now use only Shift, left mouse button, and right mouse button.

Other changes:

• Removed the sound delay for picking up an interactive item.

• The player no longer kisses the stairs.
