Hi Knights and backers!
We are excited to roll out a new public beta branch on Steam that is open for testing a big engine upgrade for Cyber Knights. By upgrading to the Unity's 6.3 LTS ("long-term stable") version we are upgrading the core game engine under Cyber Knights: Flashpoint in order to allow us to expand and support it for years to come.
Our Save Game Policy and Updates
First, since we are talking about a major engine upgrade, let us lay all fears to rest - this upgrade stays within our established and reliable rules of save game policy. Our commitment is to your saved games. No saved game will ever be invalidated by an update, even big ones. All new content and features will be added immediately to all saved games (with the reasonable exception of New Game options). You never have to restart if you don't want to. This is a studio commitment that we have made and kept for many years and games. We stand by it. So do not stress about the deluge of updates that is coming your way - heist on my good heisters.
Major Engine Upgrade - All Platforms
As it is a major upgrade, it affects all platforms (Windows, Linux, Steamdeck and Mac OS which is now ready) and we want to invite you to help us test it on your hardware/software configuration. We can only do so much testing and for something this scale, a public beta branch is a big help.
If you would like to help us test, please open the game's Properties > Betas tab and pick "public_beta" from the dropdown. This will download an update and your game version will be shown as v2.5.1 on the main menu.
For this test, everything should work the same as it did before the upgrade (except the few small feature changes below). We are looking for F10s identifying anywhere that the game has a new bug or regression.
Thank you for any help you can give with this test. If you have any issues, please submit an F10 as usual.
v2.5.1 - Public Beta Test
- Unity Game Engine updated to the latest version
- Performance improvements
- Snappier camera, less delay or easing
- Mouse no longer warps to center of screen when right clicking to rotate
- "Snap" option during movement is now remembered between play sessions
