Basic Steam Deck Support is now added [Playable] Status

We will slowly work to add more support over time to make it fully supported. Stay tuned!

Our old patch is archived on 1.2.5.1 for those wishing to continue their old games. Check the beta tab. Start a new game with this update! Experimental is closed for the next 2 weeks while we work to polish this on the public realm. Saves will carry over but be careful about using old saves!

Patch Notes

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

Added filter level that protects CERC before their infection level is damaged , widget support added
Added countdown clock for filter remaining time
Adding weapon icons for Flamethrower and Light Shield
Engineer should now only be buildable from CERC and Barracks (no longer from capture truck)
Fixed duplicate weapon in recruited militant civvie weapon market
LODS readjusted for Characters
crashfix for virtual combat
Fixed Spitters not having increased mesh+movement tickrate when hidden in FOW
Set up Evac chopper to no longer leave invisible civilians 'attached' to itself, so its movement when evacuating back to the carrier is cheaper (by about half, saving some .2ms per filled evac chopper that's in motion)
Set up garrisoned units to not react to TUGS ping (so the above thing won't show a bunch of floating civvies near an evac pad. :P )
Made civilian walls spawn much more quickly (usually should be all at once)
Fixed an error with Civilian Clutter complaining about ownership being incorrect
Logic fix to prevent characters from being able to save if they're not alive
Spitters now do DOT Acid damage
a-16a4 nerf to base damage to be closer to the m4
All crow mounts spread values change to be more realistic to a 50 cal
Crows buff!
Tpose Pilot - fixed
Updated to Unreal Engine 5.2
Ammo and med tent no longer 'autobuild'
Medical facilities now support rally points (since they are now used for the recruitment of medics)
Fixed the new hint text anchor blocking clicks on recruit popup (and potentially other things)
Vehicles now clear their weapons OnDestroyed
Removed a SetSkinnedAssetAndUpdate from VehicleTurretBP, which was causing turrets to 'balloon' in size
Updated loading logic to try to make sure field turrets that weren't finished constructing don't just 'disappear' on load
Fixed up 'vanishing HESCO construction orders' (not the same as HESCOs disappearing from load)
Fix for HESCO walls 'disappearing' when loading certain saves (their z scale was being set to 0 on load due to uninitialized var which normally shouldn't be accessed, but some saves apparently did so anyway)
Disabled the Operator menu on the Main Menu for now (since Operator system's changed so much and this menu hasn't updated to match) We will revise this soon
Improved logic for when repair actors can spawn (including bypassing some health checks for Rubble Mode, so destroyed walls should be more reliable in allowing repair)
Fixed up several character classes who were missing the 'DRIVER' tag. CERC training now includes driver's ed (this may not fix characters who are already missing the tag in a loaded save made before this patch, but new recruits after should be fine)
Rebuilt proxy collision+nav in the master (fixes up some new landscaping objects being 'unbuildable' due to having had leftover proxy collision at that time)
Minigunner updated to current systems
Juggernut now takes more damage from high cal and ap rnds
Friendly Fire for Strikers, Javelins, SMAW's , are now removed including minimum fire safeties
Added juggernaut health bar

This patch merges our experimental to normal

These patches are bundled in as well.

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
