Changelog for the first patch and outlook for patch number two.
You might have wondered what happened to the announced patch as besides the status update last week there was no further informations here. Well on Steam and PlayStation the update is live already since Friday/Sunday. I wanted to post this news once all platforms are released, but as Xbox and Stadia are a little slow and the second patch is also almost done, here is the news including the changelog and an outlook for the next update.
Update 1.0.6 fixes a few remaining issues, most of them are just small issues, but it also includes a fix for one quest on Oasis that doesn’t trigger and an issue loading savegames from the autosave on boss waves. Besides these fixes we’re also looking into the feedback we received so far and are already adding a few improvements like showing what score you need to unlock the medals for the maps. The next update is scheduled for Monday and I hope we get 1.0.5 out on the remaining platforms until then.
