Update #5 - Major Update - Save Options, Locomotion & Fixes!

Welcome aboard, Officers! 🖖

A brand new update for Star Trek: Infection is now live! We have been closely following your feedback and working hard to improve your experience aboard the U.S.S. Lumen. This patch introduces highly requested features, such as the ability to choose between manual and autosaves, an option for controller-oriented locomotion, and a massive list of fixes to ensure your mission runs smoothly.

Check out the full list of changes below!

Changelog:

• Implemented a failsafe in case some of the game files got corrupted during installation or update. In such cases players would have seen a spinning circle infinitely while trying to launch the game. Now a screen will be displayed informing the player of the corrupted files and instructing to verify the integrity of the files (a Steam feature) or to reinstall the game

• Fixed performance issues caused by some of the volumetric lights

• Added the ability to choose between loading the last manual save or the last autosave

• Added an option for controller-oriented locomotion

• Implemented an epilepsy warning at game launch

• Fixed sector loading and door opening logic to prevent players from becoming trapped by certain doors in certain circumstances

• Fixed the torpedo disarming logic that could have blocked progression in some rare cases

• Fixed one of the important Grappling Sockets in the Magazine Bay that was not functioning correctly

• Fixed a crash that occurred if a player tried to grab and release the Tricorder while in the pause menu

• Fixed an issue during the “Chase Nu’Val” mission where loading an autosave could teleport the player back to a previous location, forcing them to return to the Warp Coil while the trail was unavailable and then to restart the mission

• Fixed the door opening logic after the first Lumen spacewalk - introduced an additional computer UI button to open the door and implemented pressurization SFX

• Changed the mission logic so that the player no longer loses access to the Tricorder when teleported to the Lumen

• Fixed an issue that could cause the Autonomous Crafting Station UI to freeze

• Fixed the computer explosion SFX implementation to ensure it triggers in all cases

• Updated the access level and default state of door near the Impulse Fusion Generator to prevent players from taking an unintended route that bypass important content during the “Locate the armed photon torpedo” mission
