These are patch notes for the newly "opened" Experimental Steam Branch. Experimental will operate as followed: We have made new channels on Discord + Steam forums these channels are for users that like to live on the dangerous side of things and want to push feedback to us for upcoming patches. Whenever there is a patch it enters that experimental build for 1-2 days minimum if nothing fatal is found it will be pushed public. The testing and feedback for Experimental is open to anyone to help based on their preferred engagement system Steam or Discord. This is an effort to help squash more bugs and hopefully our bug fixes that cause other issues can be caught and fixed within this time period. Discord Steam Forums

Experimental will stay open at all times going forward.

How to Opt-in

Expect the first Step of the new Early game [Localized Infection Spawning] live on Experimental Wednesday-Thursday for feedback!

Patch Notes

(Click Show details for a full breakdown of the changes) [expand type=details]

Added a fix to the Formation Templates to not try to 'offset' units if there's only one unit to read (so they just move to 'mouse pos', so to speak)
Formation System improved to dynamically nest/create new ones that follow tightly along other formations
Grenade/Blowup guy explosion radius improved so they are more accurate and balanced overall.
Blowupguy effect added for when they die
Fixed up Circle Up 'breaking' a vehicle position in soldier+vehicle move commands Updated the Atlas 'vehicle box' size to better envelop the vehicle (so its length is better calculated to include the front of its cabin+bumper)
Updated formation position handling: Vehicle 'formation length' even further improved, with each 'pair' of vehicles being measured lengthwise to ensure proper positioning (without being majorly behind the soldiers, in a mixed-unit order)
Soldier 'formation length' improved to dynamically measure how far back the soldiers go, so vehicles can be properly set behind them (rather than set way behind them)
Fixed Medical facility and ServiceDepot disappearing when near the edge of the screen. Minor decal placement fixes in TIG04
Helicopters now are in their own 'formation group' when issuing combined unit move orders, and will now be 'above' your other units (instead of 'behind')
Fixed up 'vehicle only' move orders having a 'half-vehicle-length' offset behind the mouse click position
Added some logic to make the custom sign 'customization popup' disappear if its owning sign is destroyed
Fixed PlayerController 'sorting of units for move orders' to put helicopters 'last' when issuing move points (to be congruous with what the Formation Move Templates expect)
Updated width-calculation logic to function for Formation Move Templates
Shotguns buffed to have larger spread cones to be more effective overall
Juggernaut resistance towards bullets greatly increased
Added some extra logic to make helicopters not try to go too high/too low on move completion
Improved 'direction facing' on move completion
Fixed a problem with Spine Turrets never being constructed
Added a safety to 'kickstart' it on old saves (may not have been needed, but it should ensure spine turrets start getting built again on old saves)
Updated the 'structure name hovertips' (from hovering over structures) to disappear if that structure is destroyed, or if you pause the game
Fixed the MG Turret and Missile Turret being buildable even if you don't have enough money for them
Fixed up the Field Turret buttons not properly displaying their price if you cannot afford them
Added speculative fix towards Ammo drops 'constantly playing ammo fill noise' even if the units near it are full on ammo
Added minor safety to RotorWash effect parameter sets on BeginPlay.
Lowered how much gas all ground vehicles consume when driven,
Crash fix for blowupguy killing infected near him

New Versioning Number system

[expand type=showmore ] We are changing the way we do version numbers to simplify them going into the future. The one will represent a "release" version and the octet following it will the title update or major patch version we are on. 1.2.1 1 = Release version 2 = Title Update (Major Update) 1 = Minior Fix/bug fixes etc [/expand]

New Roadmap system

We now have a new system for our community to follow along on development. This website will break down all the major systems that are coming each patch. It will not include hotfixes/bug fixes. Sections inside TBD can be included randomly if we are ahead of schedule Trello and the old picture Roadmap system will be removed going into the future. https://www.notion.so/cepheusprotocol/Cepheus-Protocol-31f1b25ce00148d6844825f4a0c0bc08

Game is not tagged as available on Linux on Steam.

The Pangu Virus has been unleashed in San Francisco, turning thousands of innocent lives into mindless beasts that feel no pain and have no fear of death. With each passing hour, the Pangu Virus evolves, creating new and ever more horrific mutations with one goal in mind… Spread.

You are Captain Winter, a military officer fighting alongside the Center for Epidemic Research and Control(CERC). With a massive arsenal and the resources of the US Government behind it, you and CERC will stop at nothing to ensure the terror of the Pangu Virus does not escalate beyond containment, even if a whole city and millions of lives must be sacrificed.

Cepheus Protocol is inspired by classic RTS games such as Company of Heroes and World in Conflict, alongside the book World War Z.
Survive if you can against a relentless enemy that evolves and grows more powerful with each day.
Build specialized units from a variety of bases that can be placed anywhere in the open-world map.
Battle those infected by the Pangu Virus across four open-world islands, featuring unique and challenging environments.
Choose from three combat tiers that play to your style. Each tier has specialized units, equipment, and weaponry.
Engage a relentless horde of infected which numbers grow larger and stronger with each territory captured as you battle for control of San Francisco.
Hunt Patient Zero, who races across the city seizing territory. Each capture zone increases her population as the virus spreads and possesses all organic matter.
Form an alliance or side against the Anarchist and Police factions, which struggle to survive among the madness that has enveloped San Francisco.

Note: Steam Remote Play is for allowing your friends to try out the game if you already have purchased it. It's not for online co-op: that is is planned in the current roadmap, but is not complete yet
