Wildfire's fourth major update, Patch v1.04, is now live on Steam! Some small but significant gameplay rebalancing, along with fixing minor issues lingering from the last patch, are the stars of this update. Many of these changes were made after taking player feedback into account. We have also added Steam Cloud support for Wildfire's save files, so you can now have your game progress follow you between PCs.

We're also thrilled to offer a 40% discount on the game throughout the Steam Summer Sale! If the game has been sitting on your wishlist, now is the time to dip in to the stealthy elemental mischief contained within.

For now, that's all from us! We hope you all enjoy the update, and we'd love to hear any feedback you have over at the Discussion Forum. You can also be a part of the community:

-Added: Incapped squadmates will have a little marker to show where they are if they're off screen.
-Added: The last few enemies in a wave will also have markers, so you can track them down. No more hide-and-seek. NOTE We need our testers to help us find where enemies are hiding in Facility when the last few units won't enter.
-Tweak: Damage bonuses for gloves were WAY too high. I mean, come on. The Punkers boosting your damage to the same as the Dragon Slayer? Gimme a break.
-Tweak: To compensate for unarmed damage being nerfed, your Force, Lethality, and Critical sub-attributes will further increase your Unarmed, Melee, and H2H Critical damage respectively.
-Tweak: Slowed the Foundry stage conveyor belts down to half their current speed.
-Tweak: Shields take damage while blocking. They absorb all damage, so it's fair they should degrade. Blocking with melee weapons is unaffected.
-Tweak: The Chameleon augmentation was deducting Tac-Damage from incoming hits incorrectly.
-Fixed: Hank was using the wrong block animation while unarmed.
-Fixed: Narrations won't cause your head to bob if it would stop you from blocking, weapon swapping, Tac-dodging, etc.
-Fixed: One of the quick attacks for dual wield wasn't swooshing correctly.
-Fixed: Oil splats in Industrial Sector were obscuring weapons dropped underneath them.

- Huge backend updates for Tasks and Networking.
Networking is still not 100% fixed but we are now much closer to the final state. The multiplayer network is expected to be fully ready/ playable in late July 2021. (Sorry this is taking longer to get sorted out than it should have!)

- Small cosmetic updates (higher quality textures and materials)
- Revamped main menu (both environment and UI)

Fixed issues with M1 Macs and the new borderless / fullscreen view. Look to expect new levels in the next update. Thanks for your support!

This patch adds cool descriptions to random races that explains them and their background a bit. The description basically explains why they are the way they are and adds some more details.
