Attention all Heirs!
This weekend's update brings most changed to UI, in particular a new Loadout menu replacing the earlier Heir and Gambits menu. The menu is intended to better show the consequences of gambit selection to the evacuation, as well as demonstrate exactly the Heirs' conditions. In general, it should be easier and more intuitive to navigate heirs and gambit selection with both mouse and keyboard/gamepad.
The camera movement (with controller thumbsticks) adds a zoom to the movement as well at the extremities, which lets the more curious players check in on the frontlines. While sorting this out, several camera inconsistencies were also ironed out.
As usual, if you run into any issues with continuing a campaign in progress from an old save, simply starting a new campaign should fix the issue. This generally works for most campaign related issues.
