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.


- Improved performance when the unit counts are high by disabling unnecessary functionality
- Optimized material rendering for better efficiency
- Improved performance of command preview arrow rendering

- Colony ship
- Baykok camp
- Puk-Wudgie camp

- Fixed a rare crash that could occur at the end of a game for the host of a Steam lobby
- Resolved an issue where Sharpshooters and Standard Bearers would cancel their animations
- Fixed a map generation issue on Verdant Plains that caused objectives to spawn in unreachable areas
- Removed an exploit where canceling reinforcements with the Spirit Huntress’s Archer respawn perk generated free supplies
- Canceled reinforcements are now correctly reflected in post-game statistics
- Resolved an issue where the reward screen animation would keep running indefinitely



Thank you for your continued support and for reporting these bugs - it helps us keep the game running smoothly. Let us know your thoughts on this update and if you encounter any other performance issues or bugs!

Dear Players,

With today's update we bring you a big chunk of visual improvements both in terms of quality and readability.

We have finally included more realistic looking walls by adding additional models for in between segments:


On the topic of walls, we are thinking about how we want the gates to behave in the future. We are considering the approach of simply having them open and close automatically for allies and not letting through enemies. Let us know your preference on this topic, we are curious to hear your thoughts.

Another highlight is the addition of a higher quality model for the tribe ship that brings us one step closer to the full completion of all high poly models:

Besides many more visual improvements, we have addressed a couple of bugs, you can find the full list below.


- Added a slim wall type for connecting segments
- Fixed highlight coloring on many units and structures

- Supplies
- Backpacks
