Dear Players,

Today's patch focuses on enhancing the game's performance and addressing important bugs.

The most significant improvement comes from optimizing unit animations, which should now run more efficiently with little to no loss in visual quality. You'll find a list of additional performance upgrades below.

While this patch boosts frames per second, even more improvements are planned for the future. One of the biggest upcoming enhancements will be to pathfinding performance - especially beneficial in Horde missions, where vast numbers of units can impact gameplay on higher difficulties.

That said, we also have some new high-quality models for you! Here’s a brand-new ship for the Colony faction:

Of course, this ship won’t be available during missions (though you can play as the Colony faction in skirmishes). However, it might give you a hint about what kind of faction we’re working on next for the missions...

Additionally, we’ve fixed several bugs based on your reports - thank you for that! These include a rare but frustrating crash at the end of a game, a map generation issue preventing access to loot resources, and a game-breaking exploit with the Spirit Huntress’s Archer respawn perk, which allowed players to generate free supplies by canceling reinforcements.

Find the full list of patch notes below.
