Patch Update | 11.06.26

Our latest update to ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies is now available to download. 

Thank you for your continued patience whilst we work on the game behind the scenes! This patch resolves several player-reported issues, including:

VOICEOVER 

  • Additional voiceover lines added, and sections of voiceover/dialogue mismatch resolved. More to come in our next update. 

LOCALISATION

  • Replaced the stylised title font in Chinese (Simplified) to improve readability, based on community feedback.

GAMEPLAY

  • Addressed a bug where a handful of players were unable to deliver developed photos to Ignatz, in the “Who Cares About The Moon?” quest. Please note: this fix is not backwards compatible, but does not block overall game progression. 

  • Resolved a softlock issue in Eszti’s apartment, which occurred after creating and loading a save file in Eszti’s apartment during dark. 

  • Addressed the traversal bug some players experienced when equipped with the flashlight, notably inside the Palace of Culture. Additional improvements for this area are planned for our next patch. 

  • Further adjustments to the King of Trade’s cigarette changing logic

NOTABLE FIXES / ADDITIONS

  • Fixes and memory optimisations to address game crashes that predominantly affected a subset of players on Steam Deck or lower-spec devices. 

  • Resolved the issue of the Skill Check result modal remaining on screen.

  • Improvements to control schemes, to address the control scheme switching after a prolonged session, e.g., the mouse becomes unresponsive. 

  • Rebalancing of Active Skill Checks at the beginning of the game based on player feedback, for a fairer chance

  • Updated animation for Autosave, Quicksave and manual saves.
