  • SFX Volume update

  • Daily Challenges were inconsistent if statues were present

  • Replay file was duplicating turns

  • Warning for users on Steam Deck/Linux (letting them know not "officially" supported yet)

  • New error dialog if we detect certain AI issues

  • Linux/Steam Deck memory leak improvement, but not totally gone :( - Note that we still don't "support" Linux, but this takes a step toward it

  • AI updates: hopefully fixes some odd checkmate issues - please report any funny business!

  • Make choosing a Champion less confusing

  • Training ground notification Icon when a new category is unlocked

  • Demoting a piece could get you locked pieces (pieces which then have bugs we haven't fixed...)

  • A hidden animation in plain site

  • Lot's of AI & Replay bug fixes

  • Misc Bug Fixes (snoooooze)

Thanks so much for all the support, Happy Holidays!
