Of course, this is just the first small step amongst many to come, and we want to once again assure you that we are diligently working on the game and towards the first update and a first list of planned improvements for you. We encourage you to continue sharing your feedback on the forums on Steam, on Discord or on Social Media!

PC only

Fixed an issue with the game requiring the AVX CPU feature which lead to crashes on very old CPUs that don’t have it (this affects 10+ years old CPUs). Instead of crashing, the game will instead not display videos on these CPUs anymore as a temporary workaround. We will provide a thorough fix in a later patch.


PS5 only

Fixed an issue where the trophies for finishing Campaign missions were not getting awarded. Loading a save game just before a mission was finished and finishing the mission again will now properly unlock the trophy.


Xbox One consoles / PS4

Improved loading algorithm for better performance when scrolling over the map.
