This month's (surprisingly early) patch focuses on a number of client quality of life improvements including the ability to pause the game when playing against bots in both campaigns and skirmishes. There is also another round of tuning for the August rebalance as well as some server fixes.


Campaigns & Bots

• Added the ability to pause campaign and bot skirmish games

User Interface

• Fixed visual issues with game listings for 2v2 games in the lobby

Visuals & FX

• Made an optimization for rendering while in game
  
• Fixed an issue in which shadows were not being drawn for Nora fonts
  
• Added visual effects for when logistics stat buffs are applied
  
• Reworked tunnel effects which were not working properly and have not worked properly since the launch of the Unity client. This should also fix an issue in which units can disappear and not reappear when using Tunnel abilities

While this isn't the solution that ultimately we are looking at to improve frame rate issues with the client, we have added a new option to set the maximum FPS for the game client. This is available in the Options in both the main menu and in the game and allows you to set the desired frame rate to be capped at 30, 60, 90, 120 or unlimited.

By default, this will choose the closest option to your current refresh rate on your device up to 120 (meaning that if your monitor is 60hz it will be set to 60fps by default or if you have a monitor that is 144hz it will be set to 120fps by default). Setting the frame rate maximum to uncapped is the old behavior, and while there probably isn't much reason to go above 60fps, it will pick the highest to your monitor refresh rate regardless. This option will be saved on device and maintained between play sessions.

Hope everyone is enjoying the new update. Here is an update to correct various issues with rules text being incorrect, both from this patch or things from previous patches.
