DG2 May Steam Update - PC only (Mac soon)

• DGArchitect custom scripts now support all game modes
  
  
• DGArchitect maps can now include Classic Open mode scoring
  
  
• DG Architect ray tracing bug fixed that prevented block properties from being selected
  
  
• DG Architect Point lights now appear in DG Architect
  
  
• Classic Open string entries updated or added
  
  
• For the PC & Mac update, UCC formats needed to change making them unusable on Linux. We hope to change this in the future, but it may take longer than desired because of some conflicting Linux issues.

Gameplay:

• New Game Type: Classic Open. Classic Open introduces the original DG scoring model to DG2. It is available for all single player missions and modes. No medals are awarded in Classic Open.
  
• Tower Limit Mode Fix: Fixed bug in which boost towers could automatically sell out from underneath a tower in the middle of upgrading.
  
• Strategy Camera Added: Edge scrolling camera for single player can be toggled on / off using Shift+C or can be set to be the default by adding “-freecamera” to the Steam launch options (library, right-click->properties, set launch options)

Stability:

• Fixed top ten crash bugs responsible for majority of remaining reported game crashes.
  
• Fixed a significant number of OpenGL rendering issues for Mac (and soon SteamOS) improving both quality and performance rendering
  
• Fixed Mac launcher race condition where launcher might not appear while Steam is still initializing launch of game
  
• Fixed multiple DG Architect crash bugs
  
• Fixed DG Architect block thumbnails not appearing

Leaderboard Validity:

• Added ability to remove scores from leaderboards that aren’t possible to achieve in an unaltered game session
  
• Removal of invalid scores will take place some days after update release

User Created Content (UCC) Tools Enhancement:

• New UCC file format – must have update to download new UCC maps
  
• Enabled UCC maps to have story mode leaderboards
  
• Enabled UCC script asset creation with DG Architect and game loading of that script
  
• Enabled UCC script assets to be packaged in Steam Workshop upload
  
• Stopped UCC map creation process from creating multiple leaderboard versions for the same map
  
• Mac: Users can load custom levels now. Custom levels are looked for here: /Users/<user_name>/Library/Application Support/Steam/userdata/<steam_user_id>/221540/local/DG2/<custom_map_folder>

Usability

• Restored Mouse button bindings to match system settings in Windows
