MENACE Patch #9 - Balancing and Fixes

Patch number 9 brings some balancing changes, bug fixes and improvements. Tomorrow there will be a more detailed post about the upcoming big REDACTED Update 1 that will arrive next week!

Most importantly, we balanced the new Xeno DNA city mission to make sure enemy reinforcements are not too overwhelming anymore for more cautious players. Besides that, you can find all the other changes and improvements in the changelog below:

This patch is compatible with existing save games

Known Issues

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.

Setting the 'Grass Quality' setting to high/ultra can cause FPS drops and crashes.

The promotion tax mechanic is frustrating and will be changed soon.
