Power to the People News

Hey everyone! After working overtime for a few days, we're proud to announce a brand new build of Power to the People. This time around we have been mostly focusing on performance improvements. But we're also delivering a few minor fixes here and there.

• Massive performance improvements, particularly when multiple power lines fail at the same time or when there are tons of power lines being built at the same time.
  
• Fix bug that didn't allow players to place low voltage power lines on bridges sometimes.
  
• Fix visual glitch that made it look like power lines were conducting electricity when they weren't if placed very close to other power lines.
  
• A few localisation fixes for the French version.
  

We kept working throughout the weekend to bring you an improved version of the game. Here is the change log:

• Steam Achievements now get unlocked as you play instead of all of them at the same time when exiting the game.
  
• A few improvements to the soundtrack here and there.
  
• Fix "A Green World" achievement, that was not being triggered if using offshore wind turbines.
  
• Fix issue with titles in the research tree sometimes getting cut off when playing in 1440p.
  
• Fix some tutorial texts that were being displayed incorrectly in German, causing words to be displayed too close to each other.
  
• Fix bug that caused the sound effects in the level selection screen to ignore the UI volume setting.
  
• Fix potential crash related to the usage of Crytivo Club with a slow or unstable internet connection.
  
• Fix potential crash when trying to repair a power line at the same time that nearby power lines are being built or demolished.
  

We have finally released Power to the People after two and a half years of very hard work. We hope you are having a blast with it so far, and that you'll continue to enjoy the game for a long time, keeping the lights on!

[h2]First patch[/h2]

Today we have released our first patch for the game! As you might have seen already, this includes a couple of minor bug fixes and some localisation tweaks in Spanish and French. We might need to continue pushing small fixes during the following days, depending on what problems our players encounter. So far it seems that the game is, for the most part, running in a very stable way and without major issues.

[h2]Your feedback[/h2]

Your feedback is very valuable to us. We are keeping an eye out for the discussion forums here on Steam as well as our Discord channel. We sadly don't have time at this very moment to reply to all of your questions and concerns in a timely manner, but we are trying our best. And we are definitely listening to your comments and making notes.

[h2]The future[/h2]

For now, our plan is to keep pushing small fixes as soon as we detect our players are having problems, and we'll keep working on improving the quality of localisation to different languages. Afterwards we'll start a new round of development, bringing many Quality of Life upgrades for our players, before we start focusing on the addition of new content. Hopefully we'll have more concrete news on those fronts for you all next week.

For now, stay awesome and keep the lights on!
