ZERO GROUNDS HOTFIX #1.0.9

Hey everyone!
Over the past few weeks, we have received a number of comments about lost progression from our players. After a thorough investigation, we found that player's save files very sometimes (in about 10% of the cases) corrupted during the upload/download process of Steam Cloud. As far as we understand, this is not a Steam Cloud's fault, but rather the encoding issue of the plugin we use for saving Player's data
In order to implement a more reliable save system, we have started to use our own servers instead of Steam Cloud, allowing for reliable save system across all of your devices.
Does it mean that ALL my progress in the game is lost?
ːsteamsadː
If you made any real-money purchases in out in-game store, all of your purchases will remain. However, your level is going to be reset in addition to all of your weapon and attachment unlocks.
We are very sorry for this. This is our first multiplayer game and we are still learning about many things every day. This is why we have enabled a DOUBLE-XP period for the time being.
Additional things in this patch:

Fixes for Spanish localization.
You can now see a level progression UI on the Scoreboard during a match,
Fixed an issue where some SFX were still audible even if you completely turn off volume in the settings.
We hope for your understanding and wishing you a great weekend ahead!

Hello there, we hope you've had a solid week and are ready to jump into the upcoming weekend! Update #1.0.5 for Zero Grounds goes live today, February 2nd 2024.
Here is what's new and fixed in this Update:
Key Bindings
You can now rebind almost all game controls to any preferred keys.
Unity Upgrade
We have upgraded our engine version from Unity 2021 to Unity 2022. Along with many bug fixes to the engine, Unity 2022 brings a slightly better lighting engine, making scenes brighter and crispier looking.
Optimization
We have optimized bots to consume less processing power allowing for higher FPS, along with other small fixes. Needless to say, we are dedicated to increase FPS even more in further patches, especially for our beloved Mac users.
Gameplay and UI

Frag and Flash grenades: decreased explosion time from 3 to 2 seconds.
M73: Increased vertical recoil and decreased Large Magazine ammo capacity from 16 to 7.
Settings: added option to invert Y mouse look.
HUD: you can now see how much experience you get per kill above kill notifications.
Levelling: reduced the amount of experience per kill from 100 to 20. According to the feedback from our players, they could reach MAX level in about 5 hours of gameplay.
BOTS: added the '[AI]' prefix in front of bot names.
Gun Game: removed lasers and flashlights from random attachments pool to improve performance in this mode.
Small improvements to various UI elements throughout the game.
Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue when respawn UI disappears if a user enables text chat, making respawning unavailable.
Fixed lasers clipping through walls.
Fixed larger-than-mesh colliders on trees on Stronghold map.
Other smaller bug fixes that we forgot to write down :(
Moving Forward
In the near future, our top priorities will be:

Improve optimization across the board for all platforms.
Eliminate game crashes happening when you try to join a server.
Sometimes, player's level is being reset due to encoding/decoding issue of save files via Steam Cloud. We apologize to players who lost all of their progress due to this bug, we are currently talking with Steam Support to resolve it.

Hey everyone! We hope you've had a great weekend so far!
We'd like to share our changes and improvements in this v1.0.4 patch. As mentioned previously, optimization and eradication of crashes is our top priority right now.
Here's what's new/fixed in this patch:

-Fixed UI and text issues in the main menu.
-Decreased the default max number of people on a server from 10 to 8 (you can still host your own server with 10 people limit).
-General optimization improvements. All users should see an increase in FPS, depending on hardware.
-Updated Photon PUN 2 multiplayer plugin. This should result in more stable network connection to the server.
-Decreased M73 sniper rifle base damage from 100 to 90.
-Changed shooting sounds of AC-42 and M5A4 assault rifles.
-Gun Game: all players will have randomized attachments on their weapons.

Optimization issues are entirely our fault, and we're working on fixing them
We won't make excuses. The poor optimization issue upon release is entirely our fault. We acknowledge that it is unacceptable on any level, and we will strive to fix it ASAP.
