Patch Notes

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

Various behind the scenes Timer checks were spread out over MS's to stop the game thread from being choking out.
UpdateSeenList update: turns off when not needed, instead of always running
Optimized Ambient Civvie Spline visibility by adding threading support
Safety check for World Building LERPs, adjustment of vehicle nav volumes, and conversion of assets into landscapable objects for Angel Island Grids 1-3
Added 'SharedStimulus' logic (akin to SharedVision) - currently only used by Ambient Civilians - to replace the fact that VisibilityTriggers are no longer handled via Perception Result: Ambient Civilians seem to function mostly as before, but perception system has a lot less pressure on it now
Crashfix for potential 'infinite loop' for UnitMovers getting stuck going between devirtualized units spawning+monitoring
Reduced number of sight queries-per-update to 4K (from 8K), to try to reduce CPU strain
Fixed Speakers for vehicles registering as vision stimulus
Set up untargetable Civilian clutter+walls to 'deregister' from Sight once revealed, so they stop taking up queries
Fixed Camo not applying to Merlin.
Fixed Camo not applying to MUTT/MULE.

Please note the following going forward (Restart your game/steam to get the update if needed [/expand]

[ 2023-07-16 04:40:44 CET ] [ Original post ]

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
