Fixed deep space salvages clinging to an orbit that flew away issue.
Fixed info button popup not closing along its related menu.
Fixed vessel display in combat not displaying current power generation and usage values.
Worked on scaling menace difficulty as the game progressing:

• Added alternative designs for newly spawned pirates with higher tier weapons/modules for mid and late game.
  
• Added upgrades for menaces factions for mid and late game.

Tweaked the combat AI to start charging its shield earlier.
Lowered the chance of menace waves against opponent empires so they do not get wiped out by them on hard difficulty.
Organised fleet's spawning position into columns and rows.(Solar System Only for now.)
Opponent Ai now retrofits vessels form the local reserve.

Hello! I have finally finished a fix for Combo Postage's achievement. This took some creative thinking and a lot of work- and it requires running a special new program- but this should work for almost all players, on both Windows and Linux.

First, beat the default armadillo score of 1000. (You can check on this in the Records room.) If you're not sure how to do this, just try experimenting in Standard shifts. You need to play a certain way- specifically, avoid performing a common action...

Once you figure that out, choose the 'Play Achievement Activator' option when launching the game. This will open a special program (with fun new music!) which will try to unlock the achievement for you. If it works, you will probably never need to use the achievement fixer again! Enjoy the achievement.

I tried *very* hard to make sure this will work for everyone, but there could be issues I missed, so please get in touch in the comments if the achievement activator does not work.

NOTES:
- If you use a controller, you should be able to press the lower face button to use the achievement activator.
- There is no built-in exit button for the achievement fixer. If you're playing on Steam Deck, you may need to exit using the Steam Overlay.
- Due to engine issues, only 64-bit versions of the achievement fixer are available, and are included with the 32-bit versions of the game, too.

Hey there,
New smaller patch that includes:
- Full 21:9 widescreen support, including expanded artwork for all game backgrounds.
- Additional minor fixes.

We're currently doing private testing on the new difficulty modes we have in the works, and continuing with development of the expanded ending epilogues, cut content, and auto-save experiments.

If you're interested in joining the private beta testing you can reach out to us on discord, or wait until we roll out the public testing branch here.

Thanks for the continued support and feedback!

Error fixed
Also, I described how to replace the partner's 3D model

Very basic stuff for now. Also it's the debug move speed so I can hack and have my characters run all around the map lol.

If you caught last month's Rulers of England livestream, you might recall that Civilization Franchise Lead Designer Ed "The Architect" Beach and Junior Designer Carl "Carlbarian'' Harrison are scheduled to go head-to-head in Civilization VI this Wednesday, April 12. The last time these historical heavyweights met washttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtsmcOtoh8Iback in 2019, when Ed's Hungary emerged victorious against Carl's Canada. Will history repeat itself, or will Carl have his revenge? Tune in to the FiraxisGames Twitch channel at 10:00AM PT this Wednesday to find out!

Did you miss the battle? Please enjoy the archive of the entire livestream here.

Last time Ed and Carl met on the Civilization VI battlefield, Ed enjoyed a home-field advantage of sorts as he got to choose the Civilizations that he and Carl played with as well as the two AI Civilizations they shared the map with. For this week's rematch, Civilization selection is being handled a little differently.

Towards the end of the previous Firaxis livestream, Ed and Carl each chose four possible Civilizations from the Civilization VI: Leader Pass* for their opponent to play as, then the final selections were made via polls on the official Civilization Twitter account. As a result, Ed will be playing as Rome's Julius Caesar against Carl's Germany's Ludwig II. In the interests of time, the game will again be played on a small map with just two other Civilizations controlled by AI opponents.

Years from now, when you're asked where you were when The Architect fought Carlbarian for the second time, make sure you're among those who can honestly say that you were there. See you Wednesday!

*Base game required to access all Civilization VI: Leader Pass content and additional DLC packs required to access certain leaders and content included in the Leader Pass. Leader Pass is already included as part of the Civilization VI Anthology Edition. Terms apply. See https://civilization.com/news/entries/new-leaders-coming-to-civilization-vi/

Hey caravan crew! We’re back with news on Update v1.2, now on the Experimental Branch! We plan to leave this on Experimental for at least a week and see how the community reacts before pushing it to the Live branch. If you want to participate, please see our last blog post on using the Experimental Branch. Without further delay, Patch Info!!


The v1.2 Build focused on adjustments to early game progression and reworked the Skill progression system. Full patch notes can be found here. We anticipate the Skill rework changes will allow players to ease into the main party since each player character will start with fewer skills. Hopefully, it will also encourage more varied party compositions as players match teammates for skill building in addition to their favorite battle set-up. This should help keep battles feeling fresh until such a time when enemies start to learn their own new tricks…

There are, of course, a few new QoL improvements and numerous bug fixes as well. Most notable: Expedition Maps will now show players where new paths have opened up. In addition, maps within Biomes will be flagged by the system so players will never see a repeat map until they have seen every map within the biome at least once. We’re hoping these two changes will help keep the players immersed in the world and minimize feel-bad moments while exploring the Wilds!

Please feel free to explore the changes and let us know what you think in the designated Discussion Thread!


A few reminders regarding save files in Sanctuary Saga: there is no method to switch save files back and forth between versions. So if you choose to participate in Experimental, I would recommend either copying your save to a different Save Slot or assign a certain range of your Save Slots to a specific version of the game. For example, you may decide to designate Save Slots 11-15 for playing on the Experimental branch to help with testing, while leaving slots 1-10 dedicated to the Live branch for your prior saves. While technically the files may work with multiple versions, they won’t always get the updated values (gear costs, skill upgrades, etc). So we recommend designating certain Save Slots to specific game versions.


Again, we are so grateful for the growing community around Sanctuary Saga and could not be more thankful to those of you along the journey with us! If you haven’t, please consider leaving a review of Sanctuary Saga on Steam (this is massively beneficial to Indie Developers) and sharing out news on your socials. Until next time!

A new season brings new Sectors to conquer in the upcoming Season 03 Battle Pass for Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® II and Call of Duty®: Warzone™ 2.0.



The new Battle Pass for Season 03 features 100+ rewards across 22 Sectors, including two new functional weapons and the addition of Operators Valeria Garza and Alejandro Vargas from the Modern Warfare® II Campaign.

Upgrade to the full Battle Pass for 1,100 COD Points for access to all of Season 03’s regular Battle Pass items, or purchase BlackCell, the brand-new Battle Pass offering for an additional Sector, bringing the total up to 23, as well as earning additional Battle Token Tier Skips. See below for more details!

Here’s what you’ll find in this Battle Pass, starting with a brand-new offering:




Launching in Season 03, BlackCell allows you to step up to a higher class of combat excellence within the Battle Pass system and includes over 7,000 COD Points of value, everything that was originally in the Battle Pass Bundle, along with additional exclusive content:

· Access to the full Season 03 Battle Pass and 20 Tier Skips.
· 1,100 COD Points instantly awarded.
· 1,400 COD Points awarded throughout the Battle Pass.
· A BlackCell Operator, attired in an imposing animated Camo Skin.
· Additional, BlackCell-only Battle Pass content: Every Season 03 Battle Pass Sector with an Operator Skin has a BlackCell variant (12 Skins in total) to unlock.
· A Pro-Tuned Weapon Blueprint, Vehicle Skin, and Finishing Move.
· An exclusive BlackCell Sector within the Battle Pass AO serving as an alternative starting location.
· Immediate unlocking of adjacent Battle Pass Sectors to the BlackCell Sector.
·
• Players who upgrade to BlackCell after purchasing the Battle Pass will also receive 1,100 CP back

For more information, check out the dedicated BlackCell blog here.




In addition to the BlackCell offering, the Battle Pass has an updated and streamlined way to unlock content through the addition of an Automatic Pathing feature.

Those who don’t mind what they earn first and who simply want to rack up hours in-game can choose to automatically have the Battle Pass chart an effective path through the different AO Sectors. Players can also choose to manually earn Battle Token Tier Skips and spend them as they did in prior seasons.

There is still the option to unlock Battle Pass sectors manually, and players can switch between Automatic and Manual pathing at any time during the season, which is great for those who don’t mind what other rewards they earn after they get their favorites.




Though they once served together in the Mexican Special Forces, Valeria Garza and Alejandro Vargas are now adversaries. Valeria rose to become El Sin Nombre, leading the Las Almas Cartel, while Alejandro went on to become an important ally of the legendary Task Force 141.

Players who purchase the Season 03 Battle Pass can unlock the C0 Bonus Sector and gain immediate access to the default Skins for both Operators.

Alejandro: Born and raised in Las Almas, Alejandro spent over a decade as a high-ranking member of Los Fuerzeas Especiales, the Tier 1 Mexican Army Special Mission counterterror unit. His unit, Los Vaqueros, is the only one in the country authorized to work alongside international Special Operations Forces, including those at the CIA headed by station chief Kate Laswell.

Valeria: Valeria is a ruthless and cunning Operator who always remains calm under pressure. Whether she’s interrogating enemies or firing the first shot in a shoot-out, Valeria earns her cartel members’ loyalty every day through her incredible resolve and ability to plan ahead like a true criminal mastermind, all while recruiting more to her ranks with generous donations from the cartel’s coffers.

In addition to unlocking these two Operators, the Bonus Sector also awards the gilded “El Dorado” Weapon Blueprint, plus 150 COD Points and a 10% Battle Pass Boost.


Up your long-range game with two new free functional weapons located in the Season 03 area of operations: a new Sniper Rifle and Battle Rifle.




Engineered destruction at its finest, this anti-personnel, bolt-action sniper rifle intervenes in tense situations with hard-hitting .408 rounds.

The FJX Imperium gives that classic Call of Duty® feel as a high-damage, bolt-action Sniper Rifle that’s absolutely deadly in the right hands. It also features a new attachment type for its weapon class with the carry handle, including a tactical and heavy version.

Regardless of how you build out the weapon, it’s quality over quantity with the FJX Imperium: with the lowest fire rate in its class and just five rounds per reload, you’ve got to make those shots count.




A fully automatic, open-bolt bullpup rifle chambered in 6.8 Wrath dominates midrange combat with a fast rate of fire and high damage output. Switch to semi-automatic for powerful, controlled long-range engagements.

With the best range and fire rate in its class, the Cronen Squall is a worthy contender across all modes. Among its other Gunsmith attachments, choose from six different ammo types for its powerful 6.8 rounds and up your reserves with two options for extended magazines, including a mighty 50-round drum attachment.

Keep an eye out for a variety of new Weapon Blueprints throughout the Season 03 Battle Pass, including highlights like the “Course Champion” Battle Rifle in Sector 01, the “La Araña” Assault Rifle in Sector 09, the “Dead Center” Sniper Rifle in Sector 17, and the “Viborón” Battle Rifle in Sector 18.




Season 03 comes packed with seven new Operator Skins in addition to the ones available for Valeria and Alejandro. Whether you’re dropping into the new Gunfight maps, Core maps, or Battle maps, these kits will ensure that you’re ready to compete and look good in the process.


Dressed in faded jeans, a tank top, and goggles stretched over a hooded shawl, Farah returns in her outfit from the Campaign mission “Violence and Timing.” You’ll need both to succeed in the deployments ahead.


Gus ditches the tactical accessories for a flashier look, donning a scorpion-emblazoned red vest, a studded belt, gray slacks, and a holster.


Alongside his iconic mask and sleek tactical gear, this Ghost Operator Skin comes equipped with night vision goggles, making him more than ready to deploy to the Black Gold Core Map, the first night map to launch in Multiplayer with Season 03.




Get 100% map completion by conquering all 20 Sectors. This gives you access to the final Victory Sector, which features the following items:


El Sin Nombre — “the Nameless One” — is ready for business, and she’s more than willing to work outside the law. Sporting black leather pants, a gold chain, and face tattoos, this Operator Skin is sure to frighten off all but the most courageous enemies.


Based on the new Battle Rifle releasing with Season 03, this red, black, and gold Weapon Blueprint fits perfectly in the hands of a cartel leader like El Sin Nombre. It features five attachments, including 6.8 Composite ammunition for improved handling and greater reserve ammo. Like the scorpions inlaid on its surface, this weapon stings.


No matter the foe, Alejandro is always one step ahead. His military garb and climbing equipment ensure that he’s ready to deploy at a moment’s notice, tackling even the most difficult terrain if it means bringing his target to justice.


Alejandro’s weapon of choice, the “Vaquero 141” Weapon Blueprint is named and stylized after the elite unit of the Mexican Special Forces led by him. It comes equipped with six attachments and is based on the new Sniper Rifle releasing with Season 03. With a weapon this strong in your hand, the cartels won’t stand a chance.


Save up for the next Battle Pass or put them toward the purchase of a new Store Bundle.

Remember: If you have BlackCell, both Alejandro and Valeria get an additional Operator Skin at this Tier, and you get an additional 10 additional Operator Skins total, all exclusive to BlackCell, through completing the Battle Pass. More intel on BlackCell can be found here.




Become a terror in the night with the new Pro Pack 3: Manticore Bundle, available in Season 03 for $19.99 or your regional equivalent.

This pack includes the “Manticore” Operator Skin featuring Gromsko in heavy armor and red-lit goggles. He comes equipped with two Weapon Blueprints: the “Nāga” Assault Rifle and the “Jörmungandr” Handgun.

Additional customization options include a throwback Loading Screen as well as the “Unflinching Ferocity” Sticker, “The Manticore” Weapon Charm, and the “Dark Vision” Emblem.

The Pro Pack 3: Manticore Bundle also comes stocked with 2,400 COD Points to put toward your next Store or Battle Pass purchase.




Relive your youth with the Classic Ghost Pack, reimagining the character’s original outfit from 2009. Along with the “Classic Ghost” Operator Skin, the Bundle also features the “Loose Ends” and “Just Like Old Times” Weapon Blueprints.

Show off your love for the iconic character with additional cosmetic items, including the “Boo!” Weapon Charm, the “OG Ghost” Sticker, the “Final Moments” Emblem, and the “Ghosting Everyone” Loading Screen.




The Call of Duty League™ is back with another pack for your favorite team.

To be released later this season, the Call of Duty League Team Packs feature the official meta SMG themed with team-affiliated camouflage, a boonie hat Charm, and five pro player signatures to slap on the weapon of your choosing.

More intel will be available in-season.


Look for additional themed Bundles launching in the Store throughout Season 03.




Hop to it with the new Tracer Pack: Hopping Mad Bundle, featuring double the fun with both the “Mr. Hops” and “Mr. Hips” Operator Skins.

Take aim with the deadly “Yolked” SMG and “Shellcracker” Handgun Weapon Blueprints and choose to display either the white or pink “Lucky Human’s Foot” Weapon Charm. Round out the holiday charm with the “Mad Hoppin’” Sticker, “Easter Surprise” Emblem, and the “Higher Caliber” Loading Screen.




The hooded occultist returns in the new, menacing “Sin: Sinister” Operator Skin, equipped with the “Séance” Assault Rifle and “Rising Demon” SMG Weapon Blueprints. Show off your affiliation to the dark arts with additional occult-themed customization options like the “Watcher’s Eye” Weapon Charm, the “Summoner’s Sigil” Vinyl, the “Rite of Passage” Emblem, and the “Golden Embrace” Loading Screen.




From the forge to the field of battle, this Operator can do it all. Hammer the competition into shape with “Codex” Operator Skin, featuring the “Neopyric” and the “Riptronic” Weapon Blueprints alongside the “Glowing and Going” Weapon Charm, the “Zakhaev Arms” Vinyl, and the “Lasers On” Loading Screen.

Look for more Bundles throughout Season 03, including Tracer Pack: Dr. Kushlov, Tracer Pack: Anime Boogie, Inkblot Bundle, The Throwback Pack: ’09 Weapon Audio Bundle, and more.

Stay frosty.
