This update focuses on resolving graphics settings freezes, improving menu reliability, addressing rover and audio issues, and refining drone feedback and HUD clarity.

Settings, Stability, and Graphics

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed graphics settings freeze and input lock after applying changes in-game

  • Fixed mouse and keyboard becoming unresponsive after changing presets

  • Fixed the in-game settings menu becoming unresponsive after repeated interactions

System Improvements

  • Improved settings panel focus handling to keep menus responsive after applying changes

  • Improved graphics preset and frame rate selection behavior

  • Settings now apply reliably without requiring the menu to be reopened

New Additions

  • Added Motion Blur toggle (off by default)

  • Added Depth of Field toggle (off by default)

    These effects now remain disabled unless explicitly enabled by the player

Drone and Energy Feedback

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed drone battery information not clearly visible in the UI

  • Fixed cases where drone energy feedback was unclear or inaccessible

System Improvements

  • Drone HUD now uses proper localized text values

  • Added battery percentage indicator to the drone base platform

  • Reduced drone battery consumption rate

These changes improve energy clarity and overall drone usability.

Audio and Rover

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed the rover engine sound not playing correctly in certain camera modes

  • Fixed missing motor and environmental sound effects during gameplay

System Improvements

  • Improved rover sound attenuation behavior

Spawn and Collision

Resolved Issues

  • Improved load-time collision handling to prevent players from spawning inside the rover

  • Rover position now automatically adjusts on load if overlapping with the player

This safeguard will continue to be monitored.

UI and Interaction

Resolved Issues

  • Reduced UI flicker in certain menus

  • Added additional safety checks to prevent rare UI errors

System Improvements

  • Added contextual item tooltip to the HUD that follows the cursor

  • Improved menu input reliability across gameplay, lobby, and settings

Localization

  • Localization updates and text refinements

Known Issues

  • After saving, restarting the game, and loading the save, previously built drones may become unusable in some cases.

We are actively investigating this issue and will release a hotfix as soon as a reliable fix is ready.

Notes

0.6.12 strengthens several core systems that directly affect stability, settings reliability, audio feedback, and drone clarity.

If you experienced graphics freezes, missing rover sounds, or drone UI confusion in previous builds, this update directly addresses those areas.

We will continue refining larger systems in the upcoming weekly updates.
