Tonight's deck sweeping update is a quality of life update focused on cleaning up F10s and reports coming in from the community. We've got a great set of fixes and some improvements including flipping all disabled security devices outlines gray, making items hidden by filtering obvious, adding +8 new matrix host templates, improved Matrix HUD controller support and more. A big welcome goes to all the new Knights joining us in the New Boston zone! We're here every day, working to improve the game, so please say hi here or on Discord :D Thanks to everyone playing, posting, sending in feedback and posting reviews!

Outlining Disabled Security Devices in Gray

With Update #191, we've updated the visual distinction for disabled security devices. They now outline with gray when disabled as opposed to staying outlined in red. This helps them stick out when outlines are toggled on and just makes the map easier to read. My Vanguard has knocked out the camera and the laser wires in the screenshot above - now outlining as gray - they fall more into the background compared to the red, living guard I need to deal with.

Filtering Indicates Hidden Item Counts

As more filters come online for more types of things - Contacts, Best in Class, characters who need training - it has been too easy to realize that a filter is on and that some of the items are hidden. With update #191, we've improved the filtering UI to include a designation of how many items are currently being hidden by a filter in the filter button. In addition, if everything is hidden then the text that is shown will specifically state that the list is empty due to filtering.

Added +8 Matrix Hosts

We're constantly working to expand the list of matrix host templates that are used throughout the proc-gen level set. Update #191 has added another 8 new matrix host templates that are focused on giving more variation to the hosts that control doors and security devices at the same time. These new hosts provide cool and odd formats, include the latest new Access Gate node and offer both SCU and RCU targets.

Matrix HUD Updates for Controller

A big thanks (again!) to @Brian for so much very specific feedback about how to improve controller support in the Matrix HUD. With this update, we've improved the toggling capability, fixed issues where toggle would skip the IC List if the only options were Nuke or Spiking, improved the highlight on the matrix log button and more. We've also fixed an issue with toggling back to the matrix tree would take you back to the node where you started the turn, not the last node you had selected.

Big List of F10 Fixes!

There is always a lot to wrap up in a sweeping of the decks quality-of-life update!

• If a mission had a stage with a "No Hacking" tag it could appear in the summary incorrectly even if there was a different stage that had Hacking. Now fixed!
• Power Slice (the special Talent added for carrying a sword) was not working very well with reloading games. Spent chargers were re-appearing. This is now all fixed.
• We've fixed rare issues with both inability to swap weapons and equip some items after a mission.
• The Underworld Hub High-Risk Transporter should finally be available for real.
• The Heartbreak Rush mission in the Warner-Braun Treaty '31 Era did not have any Q-Sec Tally ... this is fixed!

Explore the dystopian cyberpunk future of 2231 as you command a company of shadow mercenaries working for the highest bidder. Cyber Knights wraps a world full of consequential story choices and significant character development around a rich core of classic and new mechanics. The game combines tactical elements like stealth, hacking and tense combat with strategic features like base building, contact management and in-depth squad customization. Cyber Knights invites you to jack in and explore a unique cyberpunk world and the immersive, human stories of your merc team in the dark future of 2231.

• Turn-based Tactics: Deep and tactical gameplay using a turn-based, gridless third-person combat simulator. Cover! Overwatch! Recoil!
  
• Dynamic Cyberpunk Story: Unique interwoven narrative with depth, meaningful player choices and hundreds of hours of gameplay
  
• Sophisticated Missions: Combine stealth, hacking and combat across multi-stage missions. Gain pre-mission advantages from Contacts
  
• Endless of Builds: Experiment with endless combos of Jobs, cyberware, weapons and gadgets to build the perfect team
  
• Evolving Characters: Your team evolves as the story, your choices and battle leave lasting wounds, add Traits and threaten to strip their humanity
  
• Safehouse Base Building: Construct a custom safehouse and upgrade rooms such as weapon shop, hund kennel and medical bay.

Cyber Knights strikes a unique tone with a futuristic setting that has passed through the messy near-future to arrive at dystopian 2231. Man-made environmental disasters have ravaged our biosphere. Artificial consciousness has been created, subsequently murdered, and then strictly outlawed at a global level. Megacorporate colonies and research stations dot the solar system from Venus to Jupiter. Quantum computing has radically altered the digital landscape and the very meaning of privacy and digital security.

The game's threaded stories originate from both inside and outside your team -- weaving together threads from your hired mercenaries, criminal connections and history that just won’t die. These stories operate on three interconnected and at times overlapping levels -- personal stories (your team), contact stories (your employers) and event stories (city-wide).

And every choice you make and mission you run will impact your character's permanent Traits, changing them in both subtle and big ways. Their stories and your choices combine to create a unique narrative for every game, every Knight and every team.


The second game our studio created, Cyber Knights RPG, took hundreds of thousands of gamers on an gritty cyberpunk roller-coaster, trying to get rich or go down shooting. The classic Cyber Knights has always had a huge following within our community and we are xcited to come back to the world and stories we started creating there so many years ago with an all new game, Cyber Knights: Flashpoint.

We’re weaving together the genre’s classic themes with the unique setting and history of Cyber Knights to create some of the most cutting, gripping and human stories we’ve ever told. Betrayal, sacrifice, trading away humanity for an advantage, living fast and dying young, revenge and testing the bonds of friendship and trust -- it's all here under the New Boston dome.
