• Fixed bug in first boss: When the boss was hit and the fireball it had shot was still flying, the fireball reversed its direction.
  
• Small fix in Steam functions (some steam functions were called without checking if they are available)

Hello Everyone,

This is a small patch that addresses the camera stuttering some players have been experiencing. Camera stutter should now be removed or reduced for players. Please let us know if any other issues arise while playing. We will do our best to correct the issues!

Kind Regards

• Surveyors are now excluded from selection just like harvesters (unless only surveyors are selected)
  
• Fixed Weapons Range Indicators not showing for enemy ships
  
• Fixed Weapons Range Indicators not showing when Health Bars were toggled on
  
• Added Bee as default ship frame (unlocked for everyone)
  
• Fixed some minor issues with Weapon and Utility modules names preventing them from being properly unlocked by default (hopefully for good this time)
  
• Refitted some default ships to feature more weapons, modules and ship frames so new players will have more versatile fleet by default
  
• Fixed the "falling Jaeger" issue. Now this ship frame can be added to your fleet deck and used in game.
  
• Worked on GUI visual updates
  
• Worked on future of company (work in progress though)
  
• Put out a bunch of requests for people to help with marketing
  
• Disabled building desolve autodebug spam
  
• Excluded Anomaly Extractor from powerplant list. This fixes the issue of more anomaly extractors built accidentally increasing the power plant costs
  
• Made both black hole positions mirrored completely which fixes the imbalance in 1v1 games. There is no solution for players more than that currently. This will be resolved once the map-selection is in (it is going to be reworked for better team-positioning)
  
• Uploaded latest version to the steam playtest version for the @🥇 Backer reward role and @Moderators to check
  
• Tried to reproduce the Indomitable not launching fighters in MP. Works as intended for me. Will close ticket for now until I see it happen again.
  
• Changed guide slides yellow heading colors to the new blue colors

🎯 [Bug] Fixed errors related to navigating drop-down lists using arrow keys/gamepad.
🎯 [Bug] Fixed incorrect anchoring for item tabs in inventory and loot filter checkboxes. The incorrect anchoring would place these widgets in incorrect positions when changing between resolutions that have different aspect ratios.

Snek wants you to have a little gift for Valentines. It's a patch for the game! Isn't that nice.


Fixes:

• Experimental fix to stop rare bug that could allow player to reset at the same moment as saving on a checkpoint.
  
• Fixed "tail-boop-droop-flip", where Snek getting booped by her own tail-end failling onto her head-end would cause her tail-end and head-end to swap heights.
  
• Fixed "boop-droop-tail-flip", where Snek booping her snoot and drooping onto her tail would cause her tail-end and head-end to swap heights.
  
• Fixed an issue where pressing escape/pause on the Classic Mode start screen could sometimes start an empty game.
  
• Fixed a new bug in the opening cutscene where the bell-ringer priestess's animation was out of sync with the music.
  
• Changed how kill-cam works interacts with snek-cam, e.g. getting sliced while using snek-cam in Classic Mode. Now the kill-cam will stay active until you crash, which avoids it getting stuck elsewhere.

Improvements:

• 3 of the 4 collectible coin puzzles have been tweaked. Now they all have two solutions: a solution where you get the coin and boop, and a version where you get out alive. (This is how the feather and flower puzzles will be too.)

-Hello fellow-

As a result of an unexpected coronaisolation i have had some extra time to work on some of your most requested features following the launch.
-And they are ready to experience!

This patch mainly offers a grand palette of all new SOUND EFFECTS.
All clickable items, weapons, abilities and some buttons now have a wide variety of sound effects to further enhance your MaW experience.
These can of course be turned off in the settings.

Additionally there are a bunch of balance changes. The biggest one being a nerf to the Priest class.
Priest has always been a strong class, but your feedback solidified once and for all, that Priest needed a noticable nerf.
Hopefully it is more on par with the other classes now.

PATCH NOTES:
Jesters hat cost 20 -> 25
Jesters hat chance of loot being "2 mana" slightly lowered.
Potion stone cost 10 -> 15
Fire charge cost 15 -> 25
Final boss (normal mode) health 200 -> 250
Coin amulet (temp. item) 10 gold per monster -> 15 gold per monster.
Rifle deals 1 dmg (1 ammo) -> deals 2 dmg (2 ammo)
Slow time cost 15 -> 20
The gem cost for unlocking classes have been slightly adjusted.
Vitality (Priest) 7 health over 7 runs -> 6 health over 6 runs
Healing wand (Priest) Restore 5 HP and +5 Max HP -> Restore 3 HP and +5 Max HP.
Sound effects added to the game!

You can expect some other patches until the official Item Update hits in a few months.
