Click here to go back to Patches. SL Update 1 - now live!
Get ready to enjoy our second big EA update that focuses on three new characters but also brings a long list of additional changes and content! This patch is compatible with existing save games. Below is a short list of what's new with the patch, but if you want to get more detailed info head over to our last two Dev Diaries and read up on all the new things: Dev Diary #47 and Dev Diary #48
New Squadleaders:
Three new Characters join the fray with this update, Weiwu (Backbone), Corlain (Dice) and the vehicle pilot Murdock (Mock). These are so called honor guards closely affiliated with the according Wayback faction and you will have to earn the faction's trust to allow them to take these new characters on board your ship!
Custom Difficulty Options:
When starting a new game you now have a wide variety of new options to make the game harder, easier or adjust it to your playstyle:
Nested Tooltips:
A first iteration of the new nested tooltips is now in the game, finally giving you a possibility to examine the skills of accessories and other items.
New 3D weapon models:
As always, there are some new 3D models for weapons that have been missing.
For a comprehensive list of all changes and additions, read the full changelog below!
Changelog
v0.7.6+19301 -- SL Update #1

Known Issues
- Rendering performance needs to be optimized on Backbone, especially for older GPUs.
- Some antivirus programs incorrectly classify the "GameAssembly.dll" file as malware and delete it, making the game unplayable. If that happens, please whitelist the "GameAssembly.dll" and "Menace.exe".
- If the game is installed on HDD drives, loading times are bad and barks are delayed.
- Display mode "Fullscreen" sometimes behaves not as expected, after minimizing the game. Until this is fixed please consider using "Fullscreen Window" instead.
