Patch Notes

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

Speculative fix for civvie transfer crash
Fix added for grenade throws 'failing' at some angles due to the grenade trace hitting the grenade in the thrower's hand as they aim
Started improving 'right click move to attack target' logic to block sending units to attack something they cannot damage, unless you have at least one unit selected who can damage it. Including a text popup if you right click to attack something with a selection of units who cannot damage it
Move to right clicked attack target' logic improvements. Formations now will move to the target while being reliant upon at least one of the formation member's ability to damage the target: the move will cancel if that person leaves the formation, dies, or otherwise becomes unable to damage the target (i.e. out of ammo, switched to weapon that cannot damage it, etc.) Additionally, in a situation where not all members can damage the target, the members which cannot damage the target don't get threat boosts towards it
Implemented several improvements to certain 'right click attack target' checks to start adding support for vehicles-with-garrisoned-units-that-can-attack (such as the Ajax or Sparrow)
Added some basic support so if you have a group of units selected including vehicles and right-click-to-target that the vehicles will actually move to attack the target (though not in formation yet)
Some more fixes for 'move to right click target'
Improvements to 'formation pathing' towards 'right click attack target', to better handle moving towards structures more accurately
Adjusted collision on a type of house used in G4 to be more accurate (to not block some projectiles due to its simple collision being too large)
Fixed up some visibility issues on the HUD that blocked parts of the message log. Clicking on notifications to jump to them are much easier now!
Improvement added to civilian unit movers to prevent situations where civilian faction units (guards, scavengers, etc.) all 'stack on exact same spot'
Fixed 'City Saviors' faction name typo
Fixed buildings erroneously getting the *wrong* Zone if near a border, which should fix an issue with Civilian Admin Buildings being 'assigned' to the wrong zone
Fixed units who just spawned failing to hide their unit icon if HideUI was active at spawn time
Implemented a fix for 'selection circles' not correctly responding to HideUI
Keyboard rotation no longer resets camera pitch
Added game option Camera Follow Clipping Allowed. When true, the camera will be allowed to clip into surfaces if you are following a unit (via keybind INSERT)
Speculative fix for crash report from Steam user reported crash. Was crashing when a vehicle was destroyed and units were ungarrsioned(forums)
Speculative fix for rain causing bright flashes in some cases.

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
