A New Quality of Life Update is Out Now!

Analyzing schematics . . .

Welcome back, General! Our latest update brings a variety of community-requested quality-of-life improvements, balance changes, and bug fixes. To address a question we have seen from many players, we can confirm that we are continuing to work on the Veti Faction, along with other future content for the game. Our update pace has slowed lately, but rest assured, we are putting the extra time to good use. While we aren't quite ready to share details yet, we are very excited about what we are working on! Stay tuned, and thank you for the continued support. For now, let's dive into the newest updates and improvements to Tempest Rising.

New Features

Start Campaign with all Doctrines/Equipment Unlocked

Added the option to start a new Campaign with all Doctrines and Equipment unlocked from the first mission

• Note: this will disable Achievements for this Campaign profile

“Select All Support Units” Hotkey

• Added Hotkeys that allow for easier management/selection of Support units:

  • CosmeticCtrl+Alt+Q/Select all Support units on the map
  • CosmeticCtrl+Alt+W/Select all Support units on the screen

These Hotkeys will allow players to select only Support units, like Engineers and Technicians, separately from other units.

  • Added a button to enable/disable sorting by production progress (disabled sorting will lock all added buildings/units in the queue in the order they were added and grouped by unit/building from the same build tab)

  • Added a button to pin any unit/structure so it will remain on top of the queue

• Added an “ Out of Focus Audio ” setting when the game window is not active

  • This setting will allow players to change the behavior of game audio when the game window is not active (either muted or always played)
