Hi, commanders. The 33th round of new vehicle voting has begun!
This time the theme is "Light tanks"!
The voting will last for two days, please choose one vehicle you would like to see in Multi Turret Academy in-game!

I was too rushed the past couple of days and forgot to post an announcement on Steam, so let’s extend the voting period by another two days until Tuesday!



0.8.38.3
• New vehicle: "StuG III G": The last and most-produced model of the StuG III family. Despite lacking a turret, its low profile and powerful firepower make it the 'sniper' of the armored forces!
By the way, it'll receive a major update soon
• Updated textures for all heavy tanks now, when they're allies, they'll have the same camo as yours!
• Stay tuned for the next few new vehicles, each coming with new mechanics!

- The Vertex wobble slider is now saved correctly.
- The subtitle name for Cliff is now displayed correctly in scene 09.
- Alex's dialogue in scene 05 now proceeds regardless if you serve her the same food twice.

Thank you to everyone who tried out the Strike Ops Demo during Steam Fest! The demo is still available, so if you missed it, no worries – it's here to stay!

Based on your incredible feedback, we’ve made several improvements to enhance the Strike Ops experience:

Building Explosions
Now, when you take down the evil NEOTECH bases, they explode and crumble with dynamic physics!



Tuned Container Carrying
Carrying containers now incurs a significantly reduced movement penalty, so you can move faster and stay nimble.



Increased Enemy Presence
The NEOTECH forces received reinforcements and a software update to enhance their area control – expect more action in the AO!



Remappable Controls
Customize your controls! Gamepad and Keyboard/Mouse layouts can now be configured to match your play style in the settings.



Adjustable Camera
Adjust the Field of View (FOV) of the camera to your preference in the settings for an optimized view.



Disable Pause During Conversations
There’s now an option to disable auto-pause during conversations, so you can stay immersed in the action.



Show All Objectives
You can now display all objectives on the map at once, giving you more flexibility to plan your mission strategy.



Change Vehicle
Swap your vehicle at any time by returning to the aircraft carrier – perfect for when you need a fresh approach.



Special Surprise
At the end of the demo, watch out for a surprise appearance from a new contraption from one of NEOTECH's advanced research facilities…



Additionally, don’t forget that online co-op is available in the BETA branch, so invite some friends for some Strike Ops action together!

• That one puzzle on the last level has been made easier, if you know you know
  
• Fixed minor music and dialogue bugs
  
• Added new sound effects for improved feedback
  
• Added Discord server and other social buttons to the Main Menu

The official version of this update is the same as the beta version
Beta channel is now open version 1.9.9.8

1. Fixed the issue that when all previous versions of MyFinder were displayed on the same screen at the same time, the sorting would not be saved after dragging MyFinder on the non-first screen
   
2. Fix the issue of sleep failure from myfinder on individual systems in all versions before
   
3. Fixed the issue that the WiFi list in myfinder of some systems in the previous version was not refreshed
   
4. In MyFinder, the volume, microphone, stage scheduler, and focus assistant icons have been added, and the function of holding down the alt key and left-clicking or middle-clicking the mouse wheel has been added to quickly open and close the function, and the volume and microphone icons are toggled to mute and unmute, and the stage manager and focus assistant icons are toggled on and off
   
5. Adjust the overlay rendering of weather forecasts and calendars
   
6. The global network interface is changed to curl, which fixes the crash caused by obtaining network data after long-term use
   
7. Fixed the problem that the system was stuck after dragging the window out of the window list in the previous version of win10 system in front of the stage
   
8. Fixed occasional twitching of dock minimized animations
   
9. Fixed the issue that some plug-ins in VS code caused the minimized window icon to display non-existent windows in the dock
   
10. Optimized the rendering speed of the Launchpad and Dock folder icons, and added the local disk cache, which is the same as before when it is first opened after booting, but the display speed will be faster after that
    
11. Fixed the issue that when the Dock icon effect was not enabled in all previous versions, the mouse would be offset by 1 pixel when the mouse entered the dock after adjusting the icon size or icon spacing
    
12. Adjust the length of the dock separator so that the length of the separator is the same as the icon mask when the icon mask is enabled
    
13. Fixed normal file icons added to Launchpad still showing icon masks
    
14. Fixed the issue that the search box was not displayed on the launchpad of the previous version
    
15. Fixed the issue that after activating the screen saver in the trigger corner of all previous versions, the idle display screen saver time of the system would be 1 minute
    
16. Fixed the issue that when maximizing the window in Firefox, the window was not maximized after minimizing the restoration
    
17. Adapted to WPS office, fixed the issue that the maximized WPS window is recognized as full screen when the system tray and myfinder are hidden
    
18. If you replace a system explorer with a third-party resource manager, the replaced third-party resource manager will be recognized as the resource manager icon in the dock, such as OneCommander
    
19. Fixed the issue that the dock icon of the built-in window such as Preferences, and clicking exit from the right-click menu would make the MyDockFinder program quit
    
20. Optimized the animation of the scheduling window in front of the stage
    
21. The window blinking function has been added to the table scheduling window list icon, which has the same effect as the system tray window icon flashing, and the blinking color synchronization preference sets the global accent color
    
22. Fix other issues (too much to forget)

• Hold down the CTRL or shift key and click the icon in the window list in Stage Manager to quickly group the window and the current window without having to drag the window out
  
• Middle-clicking on the window list in the mouse wheel can quickly close the window

All the function buttons in Dock and Finder have corresponding functions in the middle button of the basic mouse wheel, dock icons, window previews, stage scheduling window lists, myfinder buttons, scrolling up and down and clicking on the scroll wheel
After turning on the multi-screen display dock at the same time, you can't drag the icon, because you are afraid that the icon configuration will be out of order
Version 2.0 takes a while, and I want to make a super stable version before version 2.0, because as soon as there are new features, there will be new bugs, and all new features will be released when there are almost no bug fixes.
The next version will also fix bugs, and there are some minor adjustments and optimizations
When you click on the desktop icon, if the icon is very close to the dock, it will be obscured by the dock background, and there is no way to rename it
If you want to drag the desktop icon to the current window, when you click the desktop icon, the current window will be hidden, causing redundant operation problems
Shortcut keys to adjust brightness and volume can customize the value of the adjustment
There is also a stubborn issue where the icon displayed by the tray icon is not accurate
The MyFinder Bluetooth list occasionally leaves extra blanks

Known issues
Dock icon masks cannot follow global color changes after advanced editing

• myfinder volume menu added the function of switching sound effects spatial sound effects,At present, this function is not due to the fact that there is no example on the network, even if it is AI,So every time this function is run, the sound will be stuck when it is displayed for the first time,The reason is that the background will switch all the spatial sound effects once to detect whether which sound effects are installed
  
• If the Win10 system to open this feature after the crash you can open the program installation directory config.ini file, search for "dockicoImmersion=1", delete this line of text to save and restart the computer can be!
  
• Win10 2004 before some systems may have a crash after opening the dock icon reflection, and even the task manager can not end the process, you can open the config.ini file in the program installation directory, search for "enable_iconreflection=1", delete this line of text and save it after restarting the computer
  
• Once the Trash is deleted, it can be re-added in the Add System icon
  
• The window display animation is not perfect at present, if there are many problems, you can close or add exclusions to individual programs, it is known that the window will occasionally disappear after the window animation is displayed, and the window needs to be reactivated to display, the UWP program animation will be displayed twice, and some program windows may be clicked invalid after display, such as Task Manager and Notepad
  
• After MyFinder hides the window with its own menu bar, if the program that hides the menu is displayed abnormally or unstable, please unhide the window menu bar

Just a couple of fixes for the weekend. The main one being a really bizarre issue, that caused the whole screen to go white during play! This happened when a captured meteor would pass directly over a tractor beam, and the fx i was using didn't like a very small value. Looks like an engine issue, but for the time being, i've just made sure i don't pass small numbers in!

Thanks to Cornellus for the bug report and save file/info. ːsteamthumbsupː

Patch notes:-

• Fix: Screen white out, when captured meteor passes directly over tractor beam.
  
• Fix: Docking connect, docked ship id save data was incorrect format.
  
• Fix: Load game, docking connect ship id not included in new id mapping.
  
• Fix: Clearing repair jobs on worker destroy, not checking for wall type repair.
