Next Fest has begun!

Steam's triannual festival of demos starts today, and Mechanicus II is taking part.

The demo's been out just over a week now, and the response from the community has been really encouraging. Thank you for the support, feedback and bug reports – we’ve been reading it all!

We've just pushed an updated demo build with the following fixes and improvements:

• Added controller support.

• Minor optimisation improvements – investigating this has been and continues to be a priority.

• Fixed issues caused by changing difficulty mid-skirmish.

• Fixed a bug causing Skitarii Rangers' faces to disappear.

• Fixed a soft lock when exiting to the main menu at the exact moment a tutorial triggered.

• Fixed font rendering issues in French, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

• Fixed UI issues on 16:10 displays.

• Fixed an error caused by alt-tabbing between windows.

• Added missing loading-screen quotes in several non-English languages.
