Patch - October 3rd 2014

[Bytrix]

Hi Z fans,

Our latest patch is now live on Steam which fixes a number of reported issues and brings with it a few changes from our graphic artists too. We're still looking in to other issues which are more complex but hope to bring a few more updates to squish any remaining bugs and bring new features to the game too.

In the mission "Full metal blanket" You still can't send lassar into the objective even with this new patch, Me and my dad have this game on seperate computers/different accounts.

Thanks for the report. We're still looking in to the bug with Lassar on that mission as it's trickier to fix. We hope to have a fix released for that level in our next update though :)

Larzar cannot go into the enemy tech center. Just work around in front of the enemy tech center’s gate. So I can’t finish the mission and can’t go on the next level. Some kind of bug of the game.

My qustion is, a new build number or is Patch using the old build number of 110? I'm not seeing a new build number. What's really going on?

[Bytrix]

The release notes in this thread are for the patch we released on October 3rd. The new patch (November 6th) fixes the level 18 crash bug but did not require a new exe as it was a problem with the game assets.

[rjson101]

So does that means that the Build still states 110, but has the "New (November 6) Patch" applied to it ?

[rjson101]

I was having a great time until it Crashed. I guess it still needs some work.

the release yesterday never changed anything apart from a level file its not even a patch it would probably be more like a hotfix rj just fixes the technician bug

[Bytrix]

Yeah, and we're looking in to the crash some people are experiencing. It seems our last big patch introduced that one with all the new particle effects.

[rjson101]

At least they are talking about it, that makes me feel a little better. Maybe someday they'll get it Working. Note: Graphics are better, maybe they should let that person work on "Debugging" the other issues.

Rjson you could try switching off particles and forcefx to see if it stops the crashing for you?

[rjson101]

And where please tell would I find those setting to switch them off? I've looked in "options" and the setting on my "NVidia" card without finding anything about "Particles" or "Forefx". Do I need to look in one of the config files or what? I would love to be able to play the game and if a little tweek can make that happen, I'm all for it.

[rjson101]

I've answered my own question by looking around in the files. I'll post how that works out.
