Changelog 31 March 2025

CHANGES

-Career mode: after-action report now lists lost operators, mechs and modules. The UI is ugly and will be improved. -Career mode: NPC operators who do not successfully eject from an exploding platform will be killed. -Career mode: NPC operators who do eject will be injured, and if their health is low enough, killed. -Reduced airdrop missile height from 800 to 700m. -Tweaked stability simulation - you're more likely to fall over at speed now, but less likely to fall over if moving slower than 50% speed. -Temporarily doubled the durability of mechs in order to test the effects of increased time-to-kill on gameplay. -Added some more building types and landmarks to Zaliznyy. -Improved particle effects on some weapons modules. -Added non-VR and career mode instructions that will display once per player. -Reduced the penalty for destroying civilian structures. -Added extra logging to help diagnose an issue some people are having with cockpit calibration.

FIXES

-Temporarily reduced terrain map detail on Zaliznyy to mitigate out-of-memory crashes on load. -If you somehow still crash in Skirmish or Career mode, this is why. Close other programs or stick to campaign for the moment. -This also seems to have shaved about a gig off the install size. Enjoy! -Fixed a serious error causing the UI to bug out and softlock you after loading a Career Mode game. -Fixed a bug where damaged modules would magically repair themselves when spawning into a mission. -Fixed a bug where repairs were almost always free. -Fixed a bug where NPC mechs would sometimes get their loadout written twice, duplicating their weapons. -This bug also cleared their weapons list, so they thought they were unarmed and immediately ran away. -Fixed a bug where losing a platform would not remove that platforms' equipped modules from your inventory. -Fixed an issue where not all buildings could be visually damaged. -Fixed several rendering and performance issues in Bootcamp. -Fixed a number of render layer and audio issues that were causing some explosions to be silent, and some particle effects not to render at all. -Fixed an issue where Maulkin would bill you for buildings destroyed by other people, and would bankrupt you immediately. KNOWN ISSUES (Working on it!)

- Sometimes the cockpit calibrator doesn't save joystick positions. I'm investigating this as a priority. - The 'project weapon cam' overlay disappears in some circumstances. Still investigating the cause. - Rarely, you may get very bad performance on the skirmish/career map. If this happens, reducing draw distance and increasing it again may fix it. - Sometimes loading skirmish or career missions will take a while and display no loading screen. This can cause Steam Link to stall or disconnect on slower machines. - Sometimes trees will flicker due to an occlusion culling issue. This should resolve itself if you quit the mission and restart it. - Some UI elements that appear on MFDs may become 'pinked out', replaced with solid blocks of pink. Please let me know if you see this. - The 'Basic' graphics option may cause secondary cameras (such as the TGP weapon camera) to stop rendering. - Explosions and footprints may, on some maps, create snow or grass. - Some explosion, smoke and dust effects may flicker when overlapping each other. - Some controllers may not track. If your controllers are not supported, notify me and send an error log and I will add them! - Having a gamepad plugged in may suppress VR controller input. Unplug your gamepad if you get stuck in the menus! - If you die, the post-death spectator mode places
