Some of you may have already noticed that we updated the game a few minutes ago. The main change is the addition of new screen ratios, including widescreens, but not only. Here is the complete changelog for this version:

Interface, Graphics and Sounds

Story, events and texts

• Various small corrections and rewrites

BugFix Minor

• Fixed an issue where the dialogue bubble was not placed properly on Sister Kalypso

• Changed the planet displayed during run customization as it wasn't Gehenna

• Fixed an issue where sometimes a "dead" squadron was still displayed in a dock as active

META

• Various optimizations to lower memory consumption and reduce the game size on disk

Besides those changes, a much bigger update called"Advanced Tactics"is still under development as mentioned in previous posts, and should be released in beta testing within a few weeks, so a little later than expected. Here is a glimpse of what's to come:

• A new type of POI where you can Upgrade you squadrons Marks: the OMNI forge
