We are aware of the Horde map population bug and we are working on a fix, expect a hotfix in the next day.
Patch Notes - 0.7.69 Custom Game Start and Maintenance update for Doctrines
- Grenade sound class fix and Engineer death and damage vo temp unhook
- Added saving for 'collapse' button logic
- Further boosted 'safety delay' after collapse run, to ensure it works in the master
- Changed default columns to 4 for save file columns
- Fixed the zone income display not properly displaying on loading a save that already has income (didn't stop income from coming, but it didn't show properly unless something occurred to change income)
- Fixed a spawn pod in Grid 6 being too close to a building, causing spawns to get stuck in said building
- Set up a Main Menu difficulty option 'Custom', for bringing up the custom difficulty sliders
- Started on an 'advanced options' tab for the Difficulty adjuster (hidden for now)
- Added a console command 'ShowDifficultyAdjuster' for showing it during gameplay (it works, performing live changes when you hit 'CONFIRM'!)
- Added some updates to group widget generation and 'making visible' to try to reduce overlaps (not perfect)
- Also increased starting group widget width
- Tons of classified Doctrine system adjustments

Stage 2 Chelsey WIP
Animation Revamp
Ever since we heard some feedback regarding the stiffness of our units/animations we have been hard at work finding a solution. We are now working on implementing a better RIG and Animation Blueprint to give us even more control including starting to utilize a Mocap suit to really make these animations shine as we work towards 1.0. Here's a quick preview of what we have in store for you folks in the coming weeks via a total animation revamp.
