The next big Crimsonland update is almost here!

The beta version is now available at update_beta branch. (Right click the game in your Steam games library, and select Properties. Use the Betas tab there to toggle your game between the latest stable or the latest beta release.)

Here's the change list:

-New Quest Chapter "Phoenix Calling" with 10 new levels!
-New survival mode: Waves.
-Firebullet damage is now scaled based on your experience points.
-Plasma overload damage scales up slightly slower.
-Splitter gun now reloads 20% faster.
-Plasma Shotgun reloads 20% faster.
-Jackhammer reloads 20% faster.
-Jackhammer magazine size increased to 24 (from 16).
-Rocket Minigun reload time increased 20% and clip size decreased to 6, but damage and splash radius increased 20%.
-Properly saving gamepad vibration option.

The beta is now available on all three platforms.

Let me know what you think!

Sorry to be a jerk that asks that: achievements?

[temper]

Ah yes, should add an achievement for the new chapter too.

I was not expecting this much new stuff. And it's good stuff!

is there any source to learn the specs of each weapon and perk? I mean numbers, this gives you 15% more power, 10% less loading time etc.
also, 20mil waves surviver here, bow down.

Love the new update but think there is a bug with mission progress. I had all three difficulties cleared but only Normal was completed as far as the first level of the new wave when I loaded the beta. After beating the ten levels the other two difficulties remained locked. I have Normal apparently all cleared but can't unlock the other difficulties (and progress gone in them it appears).

[temper]

Wow, have to look into that. I don't think the progress is gone, it just thinks for some reason that those difficulty levels should be locked. Will try reproduce and fix it.

[temper]

Still not able to reproduce this. :/

toastemeister, could you send us your save games so we could figure this out better? They're located in Windows Roaming folder (for example on Windows 10 in C:\Users\<yourname>\AppData\Roaming\10tons\Crimsonland\profiles).

It'd be really helpful you could just .zip the contents and send us at contact at 10tons dot com. Or just upload the file anywhere where we can access it.

Do you think you could do this?

I have a hard time installing the latest update on my laptop. My desktop has the Waves add-on but uninstalling and verifying integrity of game files does not help on my laptop.

Any ideas?

[toastemeister]

I sent the mail yesterday with files and more details of what happened originally. I played through the new campaign again today. Different behaviour but still odd. This time I beat the final level of VII in normal. I got a message saying Grim was unlocked (first time I got a message about getting a gun). Now Grim unlocked with all of VII marked as complete with my progress from my run through Normal. I beat the last level of VII on Grim.. got a message about a gun unlock. Hardcore didn't unlock. I uploaded public screenshots marked as spoilers if it helps. Restartng the game it at least has saved my progress as far as Grim this time.

This is fantastic! New lava terrain makes dying feel warmer than ever! Thanks for Phoenix Calling, I love the Crabs (though they're more like Silverfish). But, most importantly of all, I am so very, very grateful, that Angry reloader is now applied during slow time...it didn't make sense that reloading would stop, especially for rockets. Waves is a great survival challenge, and I can't wait to get my first 100 hours on it. As for bad news; I accidentally completed the new quest world on Grim diff. first, and then there was some confusion about which modes were locked, though my progress was saved, after I had defeated the lower difficulties. I'm not greedy, but Hardcore continues to tell me that I've unlocked a new weapon, and today I actually looked for it again...*sigh*

Have you enabled the beta branch on your laptop as well?
That's the only problem I'm able to suspect might be causing the issue.

Thank you, S. Lee. This was it.

Also, you know I will be trying to break your waves record with this new info from the laptop as well, right?

[Crimsonland1]

Sweet! Can't wait to keep playing it. Waves is really fun.

We're hoping to wrap this one up rather quickly so it's available for all before the holidays.

Let me know what you think!

Love the changes but weaker weapons still need buffing. Can't wait for more than 4 weapons to show up in the top 20 in leaderboards.

[temper]

Thanks again for the profiles toastemeister. I think the issue was indeed the same Streetwise Hercules encountered then (somehow playing the Grim difficulty first). This should be now fixed in the new beta build. It simply shows chapters unlocked if their first level is completed. Should work for old save games better.

So what weapons you think still need boosting?
