Pilots and Crew Commanders!

After one of the previous updates, we received reports from players that the game had become more demanding in terms of internet connection, and that offline access for Steam users was no longer working as expected.

We carefully investigated the situation and identified the cause. The issue was related to a change in the Steam login logic, so in Update 7.008 we have restored the previous behavior of this part of the functionality.

If logging in through Steam in online mode fails, Steam users will see an additional screen for offline login. This will allow them to continue using the available offline modes.

In offline mode, Quick Mission, Campaign and Missions will once again be available.

We would also like to emphasize separately: in the game “Korea”, offline mode will be available to all users, regardless of whether they purchased the game on our website or on Steam.

In addition, Update 7.008 includes other changes:

  • Updated the “Operation Munich”, “Under Siege” and “Overlord” campaigns. * AI pilots will no longer try to return to base in Duel and Skirmish mission types.

Thank you to everyone who reported the issue and helped us understand the situation! Your feedback helped us identify the cause more quickly and prepare the fix.
