This update adds training streaks with activity tracking to help you stay consistent, and a new option to launch any ranked playlist as a routine.

[h3]Training Activity and Streaks:[/h3]

This new system tracks how much time you spend on each scenario and monitors your streak of completed training days. The default daily training goal is 15 minutes, but you can customize it to fit your schedule. It's designed to help you stay consistent and motivated to train every day.

You will also be able to see which scenarios you play on a specific day, and how much time and completed sessions you have.

[h3]Play Ranked Playlist as Routine:[/h3]

With this new feature, you can now run any ranked playlist as a routine directly from the Ranked tab. Just go to Play > Ranked and click the "Play as Routine" button on the right-hand side.

[h3]View Ranked Requirements:[/h3]

Added a new tooltip button in the pause and end session menus that lets you view ranked requirements. For normal scenarios, it shows the top percentage needed per rank; in ranked playlists, it shows the score thresholds.

This update introduces enhancements to offline mode, new bot outlines, several bug fixes, and various quality-of-life improvements.

[h3]Offline Mode Improvements:[/h3]

Offline mode now supports cached scenarios, allowing you to play previously played and saved workshop scenarios from the Steam cache. Additionally, all scenarios in a routine will be downloaded and cached when the routine is downloaded.

This enables you to play routines containing workshop scenarios. Note that scores won't be submitted to leaderboards while in offline mode.

[h3]Bots Outlines:[/h3]

We're introducing bot outlines for greater customization, these outlines function just like those in Arena mode. You'll be able to control the Color and the Thickness of it.

• Added the ability to rename a scenario from the scenario manager.
  
• Added the ability to apply a scenario for verification from the scenario manager.
  
• Added the ability to rename a routine from the routine manager.

• Fixed a bug that caused Ranked scenarios statistics to save with the incorrect name.
  
• The Challenge/Freeplay switch and the routines Workshop/Local switch will now save and load when launching the game.
  
• Fixed Report Bug and Report Feedback not working correctly.
  

This update adds an offline mode that will allow you to play the game even without an internet connection, and a drag & drop system to routines to improve the experience when moving around scenarios.

[h3]Offline Mode:[/h3]

Offline mode is available when logging in without an internet connection or if the login process fails.
In this mode, you can play locally saved scenarios and routines, as well as create new ones.

[h3]Routine Scenarios Drag & Drop:[/h3]

You can now drag and rearrange scenarios within the Routine Settings and Routine Create tabs. This new system replaces the previous one, which used small arrow buttons, offering a faster and more intuitive way to manage the order of scenarios.

[h3]Other Changes:[/h3]

• Fixed a bug that caused normal scenarios to be treated as ranked scenarios in routines.
  
• Fixed a bug where the Local Routines tab would endlessly load if no routines were saved locally.
