changedSome of you recently reported issues when launching or playing Shift Quantum, especially related to connectivity or offline play, sometimes resulting in crashes. While working on our other projects, we took the time to revisit the game and release an update to address those problems.

removedBecause the game has been out for quite some time now, a few libraries and third-party services we were relying on are no longer supported. One of the biggest impacts of this is the Community tab, which hosted all the levels created by players. Unfortunately, there was no simple or safe way to restore that service, and the content hosted there is sadly gone for good. As a result, we decided to remove access to that part of the game to avoid further issues.

addedOn the bright side, we’re currently exploring the possibility of adding new extra levels to Shift Quantum in the coming months, completely free of charge, of course. We’ll keep you posted as things move forward.

changedIf you’re still encountering any issues after this updated, don’t hesitate to drop a message on the forums, we’re actively keeping an eye on them or join our Discord server to chat with us directly: discord.gg/fishingcactus
