Hi, adepts of unconventional chemistry!

As you all know, this week we are deep in the fight with the issues connected to saves and scientist missions. The matter is complicated and we may have still some work to do to eliminate all possible sources of the problem. However, we want to provide you with valid solutions to make your experience run smoothly, so today we are introducing an improvement to the saving system. It should lower the possibility and frequency of issues with saves.

Please be informed that the improved save system will also not work retroactively - saves that were already corrupted due to the issue will remain corrupted.

After testing this solution, we trust that it will protect your game saves in a significant manner. However, we cannot guarantee that it will eliminate all of the issues upon implementation. We will be still working on perfecting the new system. We have also modified the type of data saves provide us with, so with new systems saves will carry even more information crucial to reproducing the issues and finding their source.

Due to this, we kindly ask you to contact us if you experience any further issues and send us your saves via Steam, Discord, or to marek@imagepower.pl. Please send the whole contents of the C:\Users\ USER NAME \AppData\Local\CreatureLab\Saved\SaveGames folder.

Besides the save issues, we are fixing the bug in today's patch with two mission popups appearing at once and causing map freeze and some other possible soft locks. We also amend the issue that causes a reset of save names when overwriting.

Additionally, we have introduced changes that may lower the possibility of map freezes - but as this bug is particularly hard to reproduce, we cannot guarantee that it resolves all instances of it. We managed to reproduce this bug only once in the testing environment, so we're working on limited data. The community feedback will allow us to estimate how our solution is helpful in practice.

We also want to send special thanks to all the people whose feedback is helping us to combat the most persistent issues in the game. Especially those community members that send us their DxDiag files, save files, and other data that help us directly in locating and reproducing the issues. Big kudos!

The patch introduces the following changes:

• implemented a new system to lower the occurrence of save-related issues
  
• fixed a bug with simultaneous mission popups causing map freeze
  
• fixed an issue with resetting save names when overwriting
  
• implemented a possible solution to lower the frequency of map freeze bug
  
• resolved issues with mutagen compatibility when nourishing the mutants on Insane difficulty
  
• fixed the issue with opening the pause menu when loading the game
  
• fixed the issue with the space key interacting with a locked button improperly in certain situations
  
• disabled the district selection arrows when the nearby region is not active
  
• added fixed padding to Mixturopedia, so that entry panels should not move when hovering the mouse above them
  
• locked the possibility of having the "obtain equipment" mission available when all three upgrades for Automated Alembic were already collected - please note this will work only for new saves created after the patch

In addition, we made Steam Trading Cards available for you in this update. From now on you can earn cards by progressing the game - and if you're already deep into Creature Lab, you will receive cards according to your progress without a need of playing any part of the game again. If you think you should have a card and you don't see it added to your collection, please contact Steam support -as cards are their area of expertise. With Steam Trading Cards, we of course added profile backgrounds, badges, and emotes for you to earn.

Check out some of the cards below:



For the map freeze issue, we are still seeking videos of the issue happening, so if you have such a video or would be able to make one, we would be grateful if you sent it our way at marek@imagepower.pl, on the Steam forum, or via our Discord. We also would be grateful for DxDiag.txt files to check if the configurations have a part in generating the issue.

As usual, we invite you to use our dedicated bug reporting thread in our Steam discussions:

We're delighted to share a new demo of Krimson for Steam Next Fest, a challenging gritty rhythm platformer featuring heavy electronic metal music.

You're an unknown spawn moving through a hellish world as it shifts rhythmically to the music. One wrong move means death but the checkpoints are often, and death is very short.

Hell hath rhythm and only the ones who can dance with it can conquer it. Platforms, obstacles, hazards, objects, and rules change in synch with music, the heart of this game. This game is an interactive industrial electronic techno dubstep metal album so prepare your finest headphones for this one; your ears will thank you for it!

We hope you'll enjoy taking on World 1 in our demo!

• added zoom and slow-motion effect to near goals.

As we prepare for July’s PC update, we’ve got another recap of all things Company of Heroes from our team and the community!


The Company of Heroes team is thrilled to be partnering with Wounded Warriors Canada (WWC), a fantastic organization that supports Canada’s veterans, first responders and their families. We really believe in the work and values of Wounded Warrior Canada and know this cause will also be close to the hearts of our players. Relic is sponsoring Canadian Armed Forces Veteran Patrick (aka Sch1lly) on WWC’s annual charity Battlefield Bike Ride – a 7-day and 500-mile trip through historic World War 2 locations in Italy following the allied advance. Some of the locations en route are even featured in CoH3! To help fundraise for this terrific charity, we’ve created several prize bundles containing CoH3 and WWC gear.

New costumes and C-string

Today, we turn our attention to the legendary hero Sun Wukong, and the powerful abilities bestowed upon our titular hero in Champion Shift. As an up close melee character, Wukong’s abilities are mainly focused on increasing the power of his staff, while others leverage his mischievous nature to unleash decoys on unsuspecting enemies. Let's dive into them:


Wukong's staff holds a secret. With each upgrade, the staff extends, granting him increased attack range and bolstering his weapon's damage. Engage enemies from farther away, and let your strikes resonate with the power of this ever-extending staff.



When shifted into Vehicle Mode, Wukong wields his staff with unmatched finesse. Unleash the Jingu Spin to witness a breathtaking spectacle as a 3 meter long, spinning staff attack is launched, striking at all enemies in its path. Let the whirlwind of the Monkey King's fury overwhelm your foes!



When shifting into Vehicle Mode, Wukong summons three nimbus cloud-riding clones that he launches forward into battle. These clones, infused with his essence, unleash devastating attacks, dealing 150% of his attack damage to all enemies in their path.



Prepare for a truly earth-shaking move! Wukong's Power Pole Slam triggers every third strike, causing him to slam his staff forward with tremendous force. Enemies unfortunate enough to be in its path face the wrath of a 200% attack damage blow.



The Monkey King's mischievous nature comes to the fore with this ability. When shifting out of Vehicle Mode, Wukong drops a barrel that explodes into three Wukong monkey clones. These clones dash out and engage enemies in battle, fighting alongside you for a glorious 10 seconds. Unleash this chaotic flurry and let the monkeys run amok!


As with all Champion Abilities, you can upgrade them multiple times during your run, increasing their power with each and every upgrade. But choose carefully, as Champion Ability upgrades are harder to come by, and can be a determining factor in your chances of victory.

Stay tuned for more Champion and Celestial Gift spotlights as we unveil the diverse array of powers you can wield in Champion Shift!
