The 0.86.33 demo update adds a new fighter sweep mission based on a brand new map, with the ability to select which aircraft you want to fly against. This map has improved scenery, and has been optimized to allow for more units of all types.


The aircraft and their flight models have had a number of improvements such as:

• Better take off and landing characteristics, which are supported by more appropriately sized airfields.
  
• Minor improvements to the aircraft engine and wheel animations.
  
• The aircraft performance characteristics have been updated to be more realistic.
  
• The stall and gliding physics has been improved.

The soldier models have been completely redesigned to better match the games aesthetic, and there are now multiple variations for each side including infantry, officers, pilots, and mechanics.

• Fixed various Spanish translations.
  
• Fixed an issue where trains would attempt to derail themselves at certain intersections and stations.
  
• Fixed an issue where bullets would sometimes pass through soldiers without hitting them.
  
• Third person camera fixes when looking straight up or down, where the camera would flip around the vertical axis.
  
• The AI aircraft's ability to avoid collisions with the ground and balloons has been greatly improved.
  
• Fixed an issue where the player aircraft and aiming cross-hair would stutter every 2000 meters.
  
• Balloons no longer explode when you collide with them, instead they should burn down to the ground before exploding. The soldiers in observation balloons can now be shot.
  
• Stopped the aiming cross-hair from jumping around when the aim assistant is off, and the cross-hair is moving over a target aircraft.

We’re excited to see so many of you exploring Aberration Ascended since launch! Whether you’re taming under the spell of the adorable Cosmo or taking on the dangerous Yi Ling, it’s been great to see players navigating the new map, content and creatures. So let's jump into updates on the latest live ops, Nekatus’ free version of Astraeos launching soon, a mod spotlight, and Arkpoc’s new mod list for this month! Whew!





Nekatus, the prolific creator of Fjordur and Svartalfheim, has a new mythological map offering in the works: Astraeos!

Immerse yourself in a Greek-inspired world spanning a massive ~264km², where majestic mountain ridges and marble-like cliffs give way to white beaches and a paradise of cherry blossoms in a full sakura biome. Explore ancient Greek ruins and temples, or sail vast oceans with custom Greek Trireme ships. Face off against powerful new bosses, alpha dino variants with enhanced loot, and a fearsome miniboss lurking in mysterious caves.

Prepare for mythological enemies hiding in the shadows while gearing up with custom cosmetic skins and standalone mods for structures and ships.

Astraeos’ free version will launch on October 10th, 2024, available day 1 for crossplay, with a premium version slated for later in the year!




This week, the Live Ops team focused on addressing various crash issues, and we’ve made solid progress in resolving many of them. We'll continue working on the remaining cases, including ongoing efforts to fix some straggler console crashes. We also resolved an impactful rendering issue on PlayStation. With these crashes and rendering issues being addressed, we’ll shift our attention toward a number of level fixes and general content and gameplay bugs in the coming weeks.

To highlight a couple of fixes in progress: Rock Drake gliding and Ascension issues. A Steam server version was deployed today with a fix for Rock Drake gliding, which is now live for all players. We’re also prioritizing a fix for the Ascension issue, which is expected to go out with a planned major version patch next week. Of course, this isn’t exhaustive. The pipeline is chock full of fixes that will soon be ready to go live!

Additionally, we’re collaborating with our engineering partners and AMD to resolve a crash occurring on newer drivers. AMD has reproduced the crash and is making good progress on a solution. In the meantime, some players have reported success in eliminating the GPU crash on Aberration by rolling back their drivers to the following patch: https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/release-notes/RN-RAD-WIN-23-7-1.html

Happy Friday, friends (although it's Saturday for a lot of you now)!

I come bearing gifts.



Michael has been hard at work finishing up Delver's Pass. If you haven't caught a stream in the past few weeks, you've missed out on a ton of awesome level design, AI, and secrets. I've been working on adding new items to the item database, doing some house decorating, and adding resources around this new zone. Official release for this zone is by October 15th.

Be sure to keep an eye out this week for a few streamers and youtubers exploring this new zone! We'll post about them on our Discord as they go live or post a video.

Before showing some more screenshots, we wanted to give you a short roadmap for what the rest of the year looks like! After the Delver's Pass update, we'll swiftly move into our Witch's Eve yearly content. Then we'll be releasing the dungeons and skill trees to some of the people that signed up to test this through our Discord (info was posted about previously). Depending on how that beta test goes, depends on the release to the public. It could be with Frostfall in December or shortly after. This means we'll have a ton of new content in the game come the new year!

But now, the moment you've been waiting for, screenshots with no context to get your imagination running!













See you all next week!

We regret to inform everyone that due to unforeseeable delays in Valve's review process, the "Bronana Playtest" originally scheduled to begin on September 14th has been postponed. We are currently expediting backend operations and have sent urgent communications to Valve customer service to ensure we obtain the necessary approvals as quickly as possible. The specific start time will be promptly communicated in our upcoming official announcement.

To express our apologies and appreciation for your understanding and patience, we have decided to extend the registration deadline for the Playtest to the day of the test itself. Please continue to follow our announcements. We are making every effort to meet with you as soon as possible.
