Hey everyone! Today we wanted to go over some minor changes that will come to ground force trees soon.

With the release of the next major update, some vehicles in ground force trees will be rearranged. These vehicles are currently marked with a special icon in-game. These changes are being implemented to improve the structure of the trees and to ensure that vehicle Battle Ratings more accurately reflect their ranks, which provides smoother progression.

In order: USA, Germany, USSR, Great Britain, China, Italy, France, Sweden, Israel

We’re announcing these upcoming changes in advance to give you the opportunity to plan your research path in the game at the current time, with the knowledge of how the ground force trees will look in the near future.

Hello Guild Masters,

I have a special announcement — Guild Encounters is officially releasing today, one week earlier than the originally scheduled November 4th date!

I hope you enjoy the game as much as I’ve enjoyed developing it. My goal was to take the classic battle mechanics and progression systems of a JRPG and reimagine them in a fast-paced, pick-up-and-play format — and I truly believe that vision has come to life.

Please send any bug reports, feature requests, or feedback to support@gyudongames.com. I’ll also be keeping a close eye on the Steam Discussions.

Now then, assemble your party and make your way to the Goddess’s domain!

Gyudon out.

After an extensive testing period in Beta Branch with the help of our dedicated players, we are moving the new version of Awesomenauts to the main branch.

All players who already own Awesomenauts on Steam can update to the new version for free and new players can purchase the game for $19.99. The paid Starstorm and Overdrive expansions are now included in the base game, all of the content and character skins that were previously pulled offline are back, and in-game chat has been re-enabled.

To ensure that Awesomenauts is an enjoyable and welcoming experience we will be monitoring reports of inappropriate behaviour. Moderation will follow a three strike rule: the first strike will result in a one week timeout, second strike will result in a one month timeout, and the third strike will be a permanent ban. Our standards of player behavior are aligned with Steam’s Rules and Guidelines.https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/6862-8119-C23E-EA7B[/url]Accounts that were reported in the past few months will be timed out, accounts that were reported multiple times will be banned.

Hi guys!

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news from the Maracas Studio team! Our next title, Fish Stick Protocol, will launch on November 5, 2025, and we can’t wait for you to experience it.

Fish Stick Protocol is a chaotic co-op extraction game for 1–8 players, where teamwork and improvisation are the key to surviving surreal, dimension-hopping worlds. Explore strange, procedurally generated environments, recover bizarre relics, and bring them back to your upgradeable manor base.

It’s a wild mix of absurd humor, colorful worlds, and creative physics-driven gameplay, with a vibe that lands somewhere between Rick and Morty, Happy Tree Friends, and Animal Crossing.

If you enjoy games that make you laugh, yell at your friends (in the best way), and come back for “just one more run,” you’ll feel right at home here.

🕹️ Wishlist and check out the game here:

Join the chaos, bring your friends, and help us make launch week unforgettable!

The latest patch for the new Bridges & Ports DLC for Cities: Skylines II changes quite some stuff under the hood. This requires many mods to be updated to be compatible with the new version, even though no major changes in the Mods' code should be required.

If you're a modder yourself, most mods should work fine after recompiling again after the update, so if your mod is included in a list as "broken", it could be as simple as that.

This thread should help you get a quick overview of what you can expect, how you can help yourself, and the current state of the mods for Cities: Skylines II after the Bridges & Ports release.

Do you play without custom content?

• If you play without any custom mods, you are good to go at the time of release! (Assets like the Official Region Packs are not affected.)

Do you play with custom content?

• If you do use mods, you might encounter issues if you try to launch the game at the time of release. This is because some mods you rely on may need to be updated, and might not work as intended immediately at release. Some mods might also cause your game/specific save to not work without a mod that might be broken, and it will be altered/glitched/unbootable.

• Everyone receives the new patch.

• Because new features and code changes are introduced into the base game, mod creators may have to implement their code in a new or different way for their mods to function again.

• Mods shown as "Compatible" by Paradox Mods don’t necessarily work in the new patch immediately. This is due to many modders marking their mod to be compatible with all 1.3.* versions - with Bridges & Ports being 1.3.6f1, this means it might automatically show as compatible, without the modder actually having updated the mod yet.

• Many mod creators have been given early access and have been able to work on their mods ahead of time, but these might not update immediately when the Bridges & Ports patch is released.

• Please be patient. Everyone, even Cities: Skylines II mod creators, has a personal life and might be unable to update a game mod immediately at launch. Do not bug creators to update their mod.

---

Something that could happen if you try to play before all your mods are updated is that you can accidentally overwrite the city you're working on, so it's always good to back up your save files.

• The easiest way to do this is to load into your game before the release on the 29th of October at 18:00 CEST, and create a manual save file (from the escape menu in-game) and name it something different; this means it won't be overwritten by autosave, which can potentially lock any harmful effects permanently into your save file.

• You can also make a backup of your most recent save file by copying it to your desktop. Once your required mods have been patched, copy this file back to the previous folder, and you should be able to load it safely. The save file location is as follows:

  C:\\Users\\%username%\\AppData\\LocalLow\\Colossal Order\\Cities Skylines II

---

The creators of many of the most popular mods on Paradox Mods have had Early Access to the update and have prepared patches for their mods for this release. If you are already subscribed to these mods, you will receive the updates automatically once their creators publish the patches to Paradox Mods (unless you have specifically chosen not to use the latest mod version).

In the days after the release, modders often release multiple patches as they address unexpected behavior, so you might see a large increase in updates on Paradox Mods.

Remember, mod creators have real-world commitments that may mean they can't immediately publish updates to the Paradox Mods, even if they have confirmed to us that they have an updated version ready to go. Please have patience, and don’t go out of your way to pester, complain, or harass these mod creators while they work towards updating their mods.

TLDR;

• If you use a mod that you know to be broken, DISABLE IT or REMOVE IT FROM YOUR PLAYSET.

No sense in using mods that you know are not up-to-date.​

• You can use the third-party software Skyve to check the status of your mods.

Skyve is a great tool if your mod collection is starting to grow quite big, and can help you identify issues with outdated and/or incompatible mods you're currently subscribed to.​

• Respect modders' personal lives and give them time to update their mods.

They’re all human and work on these mods out of love for the game and the community, so be nice to them with this large update.​

---

Many community volunteers have made the gargantuan effort of compiling a list of popular mods and their status after the patch. Please note that this list is not a complete list of all mods that are on Paradox Mods, but a collection of the most popular ones.

You can find the sheet thatkjmcihas created with the help of many other community modders and testers here:

• If you have a mod that you know is broken, REMOVE IT FROM YOUR PLAYSET.

Nothing good can come from knowingly playing with mods that you know are broken, and if you want to play the game before a specific mod updates, you will experience glitches, big or small.​

• Check this forum post for solutions to many common issues.

We have shared a list of the most common issues so that you can help us by helping yourself in diagnosing and solving common issues. Give this a look over to see if you can recognize your issue here before moving on to #3.​

• Report bugs in the Bug Reports forum.

If you have ruled out mods as the cause of your game acting weird, please head over to our bug reporting board on our forum to get help from Paradox directly. Filling in a form with all the information about your game really helps us diagnose game bugs. Any bug related to the usage of mods needs to be reported on the mod itself and addressed by the modder themselves.​

• Go to our Discord’s ⁠#cs2-tech-support channel and follow the steps there.

Our official Discord server has many good resources that could help you fix your game, and the members on there are usually happy to help you try to fix your game. Just one quick reminder: our dear moderators and tech-support are volunteers, so please thank them for their help. During large updates like this, there’s usually a large influx of people needing help, so please be patient and allow them time to answer.​

• Want to turn your mods off until they’re updated?

If you want to play the Vanilla game while you wait for mods to be patched but don't want to remove your mods, you can create an empty playset or temporarily add --disableModding to the game's launch options to disable all mods.​

Hey everyone,
This is a small interim patch to smooth out some of the biggest issues from the last build. Enemy AI should get stuck less frequently (if at all), and every level now guarantees at least one active mission objective.

This isn’t the big AI overhaul yet—but it should make your runs smoother and more playable while we finalize the next major patch. 🧠

---

• Enemy AI pathing — adjusted navigation logic to reduce cases where enemies freeze or fail to pursue players.

• Mission spawning — ensured that every level includes at least one functioning mission objective.

• General stability — small backend tweaks to reduce runtime hiccups and improve overall consistency.

---

• Full AI rework — smarter pathfinding, dynamic decision-making, and better scare timing.

• Mission system improvements — more objective types, clearer mission tracking, and varied gameplay flow.

• Environment upgrades — visual polish, atmosphere passes, and refined lighting to elevate tension.

---

This small patch is just the start of broader fixes in progress.
Your reports help a lot—especially with tracking AI behavior and mission inconsistencies.

We appreciate your patience as we roll out these fixes. A major patch is in development, and it’ll bring deeper improvements across AI, missions, and performance.
See you under the Blood Moon. 🩸
