Selaco v0.90a Update - Stability, Speed, Squashed Bugs

Captains,

We’ve just deployed a patch that addresses numerous issues reported by the community, along with several we caught during internal testing, with Steam Deck and stability issues being the primary focus.

The patch from two weeks ago went mostly smoothly, but as always with a major patch, they come with a few unexpected bugs and stability hiccups. We do not take kindly to those!

Special Campaign

• Health Injectors dropped by enemy soldiers no longer count as Upgrades

Finally, a short change log. See, we can do it!

We’ll continue monitoring the bug report sections on our forum for any other issues that need immediate attention. The previous update (v0.90) reworked a bunch of systems, some of which didn’t make it into the gigantic changelog because they seemed too minor to mention, which led to a few unfortunate oversights.

Thank you for pointing them out, we appreciate it!

Have fun and see you in the next blog post!
