Greetings everyone, Today, we would like to thank you all for your feedback and love since the launch of Mr. X Nightmare DLC last July. Thanks to you and your detailed feedback, our development team has been able to work on some game stability improvements. We know you've been waiting for this stability patch for quite some time now. Today, our development team is happy to share it with you. Once again, thank you all for your help! Here is the changelog, featuring the various fixes implemented to improve the game stability:

• Fixed a rare crash in Survival, when an AI was able to take a bonus.
• Fixed random crashes during loading times.
• Fixed a crash in the training mode for Windows 8 users, or users using Windows 8 compatibility mode.
• Fixed a crash at startup for users having accented characters in the app path.
• Improved online multiplayer stability.

A minor update was made to the Linux/macOS versions of Streets of Rage 4 today, with two changes: - Update to FNA 21.12, mostly a Vulkan and SDL update - A possible integrity issue was found in the last version's "bigfile", which could lead to multiplayer desyncs with the Windows version. The data should now be identical on all three operating systems. The hope is that this will fix Chinatown specifically. Once again, thanks to everyone for their support!

A minor update was made to the Linux/macOS versions of Streets of Rage 4 today, to update to FNA 21.10. No other changes were made to the game in any way. This update is mostly to work around an OpenGL driver bug for the Steam Deck, but it does carry some minor Vulkan improvements along with it. Unless you're on RDNA2 hardware this update should be virtually identical to the last. Thank you for your continued support!

Greetings everyone, Today is September 15 and it's already been TWO months since you're back on the streets of Wood Oak City with Mr. X Nightmare. Perfect timing for a Community Spotlight, isnt it? And to get in the mood here is one of Tee Lopes' epic tracks. [previewyoutube=wqmQ498M0Zc;full][/previewyoutube] First of all, a huge thank you for your feedback, your unfailing support, and all your love during this long journey. I know we keep telling you this, but without YOU, this DLC wouldn't have been possible, so thanks again! We genuinely hope this DLC meets your expectations In any case, what we can tell you is that your creations (and your game scores) are far above ours. Without further ado, it's time to give a proper shout-out to these talented folks! Please make sure to follow them and send them all your love.

Greetings everyone, Today is Streets of Rage 4's first anniversary! We want to celebrate this special day with this Community Spotlight! Streets of Rage 4 is a teamwork effort between Lizardcube, Guard Crush Games, Dotemu, the all-star line-up of composers, Sound designers, QA, Localization, PR, OST Producers, OST coordinators, and many other teams. We launched the game one year ago, we heard and took encouragements, your happiness but also your disappointments, critics, and feedback into account to shape the Streets of Rage 4 game and experience you deserved. We are thankful to every single person (from the teams mentioned above and the community) who contributed to this amazing SOR4 journey since day one. The game is nothing without its wonderful community of players, artists, musicians, speedrunners, creators, etc. Your support means the world to us and keeps motivating us to give the best of ourselves in the project and also in the upcoming DLC (Mr.X Nightmare). Many of you wanted a release date today but as you know, wed rather take our time to do things right than giving a release date and realize that we cannot honor our commitments. We believe that rushing things wouldnt bring any satisfaction but would rather lead to frustration and disillusionment. Weve got many surprises in store for you with Mr. X Nightmare DLC: a new character reveal, gameplay videos to showcase the new characters movesets and modes (Survival and Training), and much more. We cant wait to reveal all these things in the weeks ahead. On behalf of the whole Streets of Rage 4 team, thank you for your everlasting and unfailing support!
