Russian Front returns with an update focused on a clearer interface, smoother play and improved reliability on Windows and macOS.

Interface and controls

• Rescaled and tidied menus, dialogs and the in-game interface, with more consistent text sizes, spacing and alignment.
• Fixed misplaced save/load slots, incorrect dialog headings and confirmation backgrounds that did not cover the screen.
• Improved keyboard navigation through menus and dialogs, including the turn prompt and volume sliders.
• Fixed buttons appearing permanently highlighted when using the mouse.
• Prevented map movement, zooming and clicks from passing through open menus and confirmation dialogs.
• Retuned keyboard map scrolling for more consistent control across frame rates.
• Improved the expanded timeline's city list and score graph.
• Added a clear Exit Game control and removed the old introductory videos for a more direct route to the main menu.

Map and units

• Sharpened yellow unit highlights while keeping their existing appearance and animation.
• Improved unit placement on uneven ground. Individual soldiers now follow terrain height while remaining upright, and vehicles align with the surface.
• Improved contact-shadow placement beneath units.
• Fixed tactical outlines and movement arrows intersecting the terrain on slopes and ridges.
• Corrected opening camera positioning so stale settings no longer override the intended scenario view.

Gameplay and reliability

• Reduced unnecessary waits during AI turns and combat presentation.
• Corrected AI campaign reinforcement spending and unit-strength limits.
• Fixed turn-progression errors and cases where long AI turns could end prematurely despite still making progress.
• Improved movement pathfinding and consistency between gameplay systems.
• Improved save/load error handling, including clearer feedback when a save cannot be written or a selected file is unavailable.
• Added safer save-file writing and checks that reject damaged saves before loading them.
