Demo Update – Patch notes

Performance and stability

  • Fixed crashes happening: During loading screens; After clicking ‘Proceed’ in the text event after the Moscow mission; During/after the first mission
  • Improved: Performance in the management part of the game
  • Optimized: Main menu background landscape
  • Added: FPS limiter option
  • Added: FPS limited to 30 in the Main menu
  • Added Steam launcher option to run the game with DirectX 11 or DirectX 12
  • You are now able to choose DirectX 11 or DirectX 12 when launching the game on Steam. With DirectX 11, performance and stability might be improved based on your PC configuration. DirectX 12 is a newer version, that offers improved graphics rendering and performance, but its impact depends on the specific hardware. The choice of DirectX version depends on the capabilities of your PC - DirectX 12 typically benefits from more modern and capable hardware, especially GPUs. Consider switching to DirectX 12 in case you have experienced crashes related to ‘D3D device being lost’.
