Update 1.4.5 introduces the following audio updates:

• Major music and sound FX improvements
• Background music remastered and resampled at a higher bitrate
• Explosion sound effects remastered
• Volume adjustments

These improvements were undertaken in order to address the 'muddiness' of the previous audio environment. Players should now find the overall audio experience to be a whole lot better!

It has been reported that Tiamat X is crashing for a lot of players. We have been doing some investigations into this and it would appear that since the latest Steam Client update that the game is been crashing for some people. As we have not issued any updates recently we suspect that this is directly related to the Steam Client update and are currently looking into this to see if there is anything that we can do our side. Please bear with us and apologies for the inconvenience. ***** UPDATE ***** 12-Feb-2016@19:10GMT We have located the issue and whilst it is related to the Steam client update the problem actually exists in the middleware that we used to create Tiamat X. Whilst the middleware developer did release a fix to this issue they failed to notify their clients of this critical Steam game breaking issue, so we only just found out about it this evening. We are currently testing a new build and hope to have it live in the next few hours. Again apologies for any inconvenience caused by this issue. Please note that there may be other Steam games that suffer from this issue since the latest Steam Client update. ***** UPDATE ***** 12-Feb-2016@20:41GMT We have tested the fix (build ID 974122) and it is now live. Once again apologies for any inconvenience caused by this issue.

Later on this weekend we intend to release a new build of Tiamat X (1.4). This new build addresses the following issues:

• Addition of flashing projectiles (bolts).
• With autofire enabled, pressing fire stops shooting.
• Player ship moves slowly back to idle rather than snapping back to idle.
• Windowed games are now allowed.
• Between level story picture and text added.
• Keyboard controls are now configurable.
• Various bug fixes & code enhancements.

We have noticed a few gamers have mentioned the keyboard controls not working correctly and that they are unable to move diagonally when using the keyboard. This is not caused by the game itself, but is caused by something called keyboard ghosting. We highly recommend the use of a game controller with Tiamat X. If you are interested in finding out more about keyboard ghosting, have a look at this explanation: http://www.microsoft.com/appliedsciences/AntiGhostingExplained.mspx We will also be introducing a new branch called "Previous", which will allow you access to the previous version of the game after we have rolled out the new version. We have done this so that you are able to effectively roll back to the previous version if you are having any technical issues with 1.4 which does not allow you to play the game. Please note that with subsequent updates we will update the "Previous" branch and therefore this will always be one version back from the current so it is important for you to let us know if you have any issues with the new release. Whilst we have not specifically carried out any changes to address the Linux version launch issues in 1.4, we recommend that you try the new release to see if your issues are resolved and report back to us.

We would like to thank you for all your feedback thus far and are going to be looking at it and consider implementing some of the suggestions. We have currently changed the drop rate of the cards reducing it considerably. Also we would like to take the opportunity to reiterate (as per the game specifications) that due to the underlying middleware that Tiamat X is only supported to run on Ubuntu Linux. Further details are included in the specifications on the store page. Furthermore whilst we have mentioned that only the keyboard control option is available on Ubuntu (due to issues we encountered during our testing), some people have reported that they have been able to successfully use a wired Xbox 360 controller.
