As new content and mechanics are still in the oven (Topie Chan will return soon!), we continue to improve and tweak the current experience – just in time for the Summer Sale! Players both new and old, here’s the changes you can expect:

• Quick saving/loading can’t be done in menu anymore (particularly important for not accidentally loading)
  
• You can no longer save while in midair or reloading, it will instead be queued up (assuming you don't go splat on the ground)
  
• Inventory item values (uses/ammo counts) don’t disappear on save anymore
  
• NPCs "speak" during conversations again
  
• Gas grenade clouds shouldn't continue to deal damage after loading a save
  
• Fixed glitch causing melee weapons to instakill enemies while sprinting with a specific set of inputs
  
• Grenades and nade-like objects should be less buggy (still working on this)
  
• Fixed some weapons going pink when using thermoptic. Interestingly enough, sword and nade were fucked in completely different ways, leading to the same result.
  
• Large batteries can’t drop limb health below zero anymore
  
• Added precautions against the elusive “APS spikes become huge“ bug. Still not sure why they occasionally decide to fill half of a room
  
• Weapons shortened with the hacksaw (as well as the hacksaw itself) should save properly
  
• You can't change firing mode while hacking anymore
  
• The Map Drone can now be detected by NPCs if you knock one out with it
  
• Disabled saves on arena since it wasn't supposed to have them
  
• Improved the shader for cloaked items in third person
  
• Improved character meshes (including armbands and new gasmasks)
  
• Camera zoom function can be reassigned to different keys now
  
• Added “Next Hotslot” and “Previous Hotslot” keymappings (defaults are brackets)
  
• Added the option to map mouse scrollwheel input (used for camera zoom as default but can be assigned for switching hotslots a’la Deus Ex… or bunnyhopping)
  
• Fixed cassette playback glitching out on Sunday Summer
  
• [APT] Third Hallway Weirdo selection box won’t glitch out
  
• [APT] Kasia’s bathroom door is now corporeal (ya creep)
  
• [APT] Removed vestigial sound effects and improved particle effects
  
• [KAR] Made funicular in factory lab not lock Marie’s rotation
  
• [KAR] Removed duplicate elevator panel in apartments
  
• You can’t claim a speedrun world record on Chasm with a goddamn debug cheat anymore
  
• New outfit in the cheat menu
  
• Renamed some of the levels to not cause confusion with real world places, which only inspired them
