Let's keep the Winter Sale cheery with another update! Update #34 hits on a ton of F10s and requests from the community -- fixing a critical story issue that was reducing story content available in the game, adds dark mode to the F10 menu, improves multiple reactions and decisions from the enemy agents, correct the special rules for Revolver mods, making Matrix AP clear and always visible in hacking and more. If you're enjoying the updates, we've got more coming! We hope you'll tell a friend and leaving a review. You're always able to update your review later but if you feel like we are on the right track a helps immensely!

Missing Story / Recruits

Some players have been reporting less-than-expected story counts and a lack of recruits. Due to holiday travel, we haven't been able to address this quickly enough but it is now fixed with Update #34. About 50% of the game's stories and all recruit options could possibly be effected, depending on the age and stage of the game when the bug was introduced. Stories like Sibling Breakout and Cube Run were on the skip list. In all cases, all games are now fixed and regardless of age or stage, the stories/recruits will begin to appear as the timeline is run. Sorry for this ugly bug!

Enemy Agent Improvements

Update #34 includes a sweet set of changes for enemy agents. These changes always require a lot of vetting and testing, so they've been percolating here for a while as we need to make sure the decision tree changes are good for the AI in all its forms over a lot of scenarios. This work is in preparation for allowing you to skip or fast forward enemy turns, so that is coming but not ready yet. For Update #34, we've -

• Resolved some issues that would cause an enemy agent to repeatedly skip turns at an investigation point once they had reached it.
• Resolved some issues that would cause an enemy agent to suddenly teleport to an investigation point.
• In some cases, enemy agents could end up lying down on the ground in a bugged state that made them really hard to deal with. Fixed.
• Enemy agents were really silly when hit by a grenade and not already aggressive. Their reaction is much more reasonable now, in that they will head toward the point of grenade tossing to investigate. If you're throwing grenades from out of sight, you still have a chance to scoot and lead the guard Alerted instead of Spotting you.

F10 Dark Mode

Dark mode FTW - F10s now have a far more pleasing dark mode styling, easy on meat eyes and easy on cyber eyes too.

Matrix AP

In Update #34, we've made two changes to make your Matrix AP more clear. We've labeled in the center screen where you've got the action options like Scan and Hack. We've also added an ever-present AP bar to the top left that shows your Matrix AP at all times. These changes should help make it more clear as you're burning through your AP and your turn is starting to dwindle down to only a few last actions.

Revolver Special Mod Rules

While they are able to equip regular Pistol Mods for their scope, barrel and body mod - Revolvers still have a few special rules that limit their mod options. Specifically, they cannot attach a barrel mod suppressor that reduces the noise of their shot and they cannot attach a body mod that increases their ammo capacity. These rules are now correctly enforced during weapon modding.

Loadout Bugs

There were a few issues with loadouts when changing carried items from the roster. These could lead to have more items than you were supposed to be allowed to carry for certain characters. These issues have now been resolved - thanks to the group of players who all sent in highly detailed F10s.
