Hello Survivors! We're happy to announce that there are now Steam Trading Cards are available in Crushed, as well as badges, profile backgrounds and emoticons! Thank you for staying a part of the Crushed community! Good Luck! ❤️

- Improved the in-match balancing. Teams should now be more evenly balanced rating wise.
- Fixed a bug that caused backfill to fill in high rated players causing a big skill gap in the match.
- You will no longer be backfilled into a match you have left (But we still highly discourage leaving. Forfeit is an option).

- Worked with individual data centres to improve latency for a lot of players (this is a continuous process and will keep happening)
- Continued out work on various performance improvements for game servers
- Improved our game server logging to catch issues much quicker

- Added a new arena: Slapstation
- Improved the look of goals including the netting and net physics
- Improved the arena colors for the top of the boards (they will now reflect the team colors more accurately)
- Improved the look of the plexi glass

- New settings have been added to resize and move the stamina & dizziness bars

- Turnovers and takeaways are now calculated more accurately (this was already live with a hotfix earlier this month)

- Added old school gloves, stick and jersey

- Fixed a rare issue where the goal netting would clip (visual only)
- Fixed an issue where some spectators were spawning in each other (gross)
- Fixed the backfill bug mentioned in the matchmaking section

Happy slapping,
The Oddshot Games team

We're sorry we couldn't give you good news right away for those who are looking forward to the multiplayer feature we announced until February.

Despite my best efforts, I said that I would distribute it by February while developing it, but I couldn't afford it, so I couldn't disclose it as a result.

The development of the multiplayer function was completed today at noon, but there are fatal bugs such as stability issues (items disappearing, bugs where players sometimes do not appear when playing with 3 or more players, etc.), so they will be fixed and distributed.

Therefore, I wrote a post because I thought it was necessary to give a report on the development progress to the players who have been waiting with the word of apology.

The video below is a demonstration video that has been developed so far.









The multiplayer host can import data from singleplayer and progress.

Multiplayer is operated in a Co-Op format, and invites by Steam friend invitation. We plan to gradually increase the number of people from 2 to 4 people. This is how the host manages all information. (The session is also terminated when the host closes the connection.)

Unfortunately, we'll have the bug fixed by next week to make it public beta, and the next time we write a multiplayer article again, we'll show you the actual results.

Lastly, I would like to apologize once more, and I will continue to develop it in parallel with the rest of the content and features.

Thanks to some quick feedback that was reported to us, we are dropping this hotfix to quickly take care of some unexpected bugs that appeared with the release of the latest update.

Patch Notes Hotfix v0.400.28h:

• Improved the Daily quest tooltip to better represent the "Daily Quests" unlocking requirements.
  
• Fixed Lot Signs not showing their actual price once the free lot is redeemed.
  
• Fixed pause not being available in a specific circumstance where placing down a new item in build mode will trigger an achievement.
  
• Fixed some of the back items not properly showing their name in the Class Manager.

---

Hotfix Update 1/3/23:

• Fixed a bug where the quick access inventory tooltip would not display the correct count of items owned by the player until a re-load of the game happened.

If the download doesn't start automatically make sure to restart steam to trigger the download.

Happy Questing!

This update mainly adds one new level: "Low Maintenance".

Hey Fight Fans,

This is our first content update in line with our roadmap and includes 3 new fighters, new venues, and more. While this update has been in progress for some time and is a content-focused update, there are a few areas we know players are most concerned about which we'd like to address here.



Cheaters


This is one of the top issues in the game right now for online players. We know it's incredibly frustrating to run into cheaters in online matches, and with this update we're taking action against a number of players who have been hurting the online experience for everyone else. These bans are a first step toward a larger initiative to ensure fair play online. We're continuing to work toward improved cheat detection and will deploy additional updates over time.

In the meantime, please continue to use the report player functionality in the game, which is available in the menu at the end of a fight, and if you have a video, you can link a YouTube video in the report too. Cheating is never something that will be ok and your reports have been helpful to us in making this first wave of bans.



Online Stability

We've also been monitoring the online feedback you're giving us related to disconnections and surrenders that are happening, fight desync, and some matchmaking issues as well.

These are complicated issues that require time and testing, and while today's update doesn't address these things, work on these issues is ongoing and we're committed to getting them right because we recognise how important these issues are. We know it can be rough playing through these things, so we really appreciate you sticking by us and giving us so much great feedback to help improve the game.



Below are the patch notes for the update shipped on 28 February 2023 - 10623308.



New Boxers


- Lee McGregor added to the game. McGregor joins the Bantamweight division. Check out his roster profile.


- Robin Reid added to the game. Reid joins the Middleweight division. Check out his roster profile.


- Sergio Martinez added to the game. Martinez joins the Middleweight and Welterweight division. Check out his roster profile.



New Venues


- Added 'Grand Theatre'. Will you earn the right to a curtain call in this old-school theatre?


- Added 'Technicolour Gym'. Hit the ring and look good doing it under the coloured neon lights from which the venue gets it's name.


- Added a nighttime version of the existing 'Coldwell Gym' venue, and a daytime version of the existing 'Empire Pro' venue.



Gameplay Changes


- We've updated inside fighting with a new push animation and improved responsiveness.


- Made further tweaks to judge preferences in an effort to produce fairer fight results.



General Changes


- The fighter's team can now be seen walking with the fighter during the ringwalk timelines.


- Introduced motion blur settings.



Bug Fixes

- Fixed an issue that caused the game to apply the wrong resolution when first launched.


- Fixed an issue causing fighter models to fail to load in the Fighter Select menu if a player returns to fighter select midway through a match.


- Fixed an issue where the in-game pause menu would remain faintly visible after a player had navigated to other menus.

We greet you again, Directors,

Instead of just one star system, the scenario starts players with a large territory of control, encircling the centre of the galaxy, however the player's reputation will decrease after every turn, so they’ll need to act fast to avoid all-out war with every other faction.

• Spacebar now pauses combat
  
• Re-selecting language now asks if the game may be restarted immediately
  
• Added better support for different screen aspect ratios
  
• Battlegroups in combat now display the plan they are following
  
• Video tutorials have been updated

Fixes:

• Fixed a bug where the Tamanin star system Hur would remain "safe zoned" from other factions even after end of the side quest
  
• Fixed a bug where an operative could sabotage non-existent fleet
  
• Ankhorum side story had a bug where some dialogue options could to lead to unintended encounters
  
• Difficulty options would not apply to fleets received from other factions

Hello survivors!

We are elated to tell you that Mod Tools and Steam Workshop support is now available for Stranded: Alien Dawn! The newly released mod tools will allow you to create modifications to change up the features and mechanics of the game. All mods can be uploaded and downloaded via the Steam Workshop, making it easy for everyone to add and remove mods as needed.

Ever since Early Access launch, mod support has been greatly requested by the community and we are very happy to be able to add this to Stranded: Alien Dawn. The developers at Haemimont Games have also been creating several sample mods to demonstrate how mods can be structured, as well as official mods that you can download right away!

As always, we want to give a huge shoutout to everyone who's been sharing feedback and suggestions on our forums, on social media, or on our Discord server. We really couldn't do this without you! Please don't hesitate to share your thoughts with us as we continue through the Early Access period.

Mod Tools
The new mod tools are accessible via the game's Main Menu by going to "Mod Manager" and selecting "Mod Editor". You may even recognise the modding tools if you're familiar with creating mods for other Haemimont developed games. The tools, the sample mods, and documentation can all be found in the game's directory on your computer. Your installed mods can easily be enabled or disabled via the Mod Manager, for extra convenience!



Please remember to think before using mods, as we can't guarantee there won't be potential compatibility issues.

Sample Mods and Official Mods
The team at Haemimont have made several sample mods to help you get started with modding. These will serve as an introduction to how the mod editor works - you can tweak and change the samples around to create a new mod. Make new survivors, or change an existing survivor's skills and traits. You can even create new game rules, or change around the game's mechanics.

To get you started, Haemimont Games have created several official mods. You can download these from the Steam Workshop on Thursday 28 February:

• Landing Pod Statue
  • A new statue of the Landing Pod which will work as a Leisure and Relaxation device for your survivors
• Meat Plant
  • This new plant will grow raw red meat that your survivors can use in their cooking, or to feed hungry carnivorous pets
• New Survivor: Chris "Jacko" Jackson
  • A brand new survivor you can add to your group, this prepper has lived on the alien world for a number of years, perfecting his kills in Combat, Construction and Crafting - he's an excellent addition to any team
• Blue Moss Expedition
  • Discover the location of a new expedition containing a special Blue moss field - the plant can be brought back to your base and brewed into a pain relieving tea

We can't wait to see what sort of mods you create for Stranded: Alien Dawn using these new tools!

Join our livestream today at 15:00 GMT on the Frontier Twitch channel and the Stranded: Alien Dawn YouTube channel for a live look at the new mod tools and the official Haemimont mods. 

Once again, we want to give a huge thank you to everyone in the Stranded: Alien Dawn community for all your support, feedback, suggestions, and bug reports. Don't forget to join the Stranded: Alien Dawn Discord and you'll never miss any news!

You can also follow the game on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, or join the discussions on Steam and the Frontier Forums.
