-----
[h2]Steam Next Fest Demo - Known Issues[/h2][h3]
General[/h3]
- No controller support in this demo, it will be available for release.
- No rebinding is possible in this demo, it will be available for release.
- Some options reset when you return to the Main Menu (e.g. tooltip delays or screen edge panning)
- Can't zoom in/out, it will be available for release.
- Minor graphical problems when the game is played in lower graphics quality: strategic map and Boss Art are not centered.
- A small graphic artifact at the bottom of the screen that looks like a gray square may appear at times.
- Some UI elements are in the foreground and hide certain menus if they are not closed beforehand: typically, mission tooltips are displayed above the Pause menu or options.
[h3]
Crash & Blockers[/h3]
- Rare: crash when loading Boss level.
- Rare: sometimes validate buttons do not work.
- Workaround: reboot the game and click Continue.
[h3]
Tutorial[/h3]
- When opening the Pause menu or performing unscripted actions (e.g. pressing a Reset Turn when the game asks for something else), crashes and soft locks may occur.
- Workaround: Avoid straying from tutorial instructions. If you encounter a soft Lock/crash, going back to the Main Menu and starting a new game will restart the tutorial from the beginning.
- Some tutorial panels may hide the pause menu (you can close these panels).
- Tutorial restarts if you return to Main Menu in the middle of it/after finishing it the first time.
[h3]
Soldier Select - Barracks - Armory[/h3]
- If you open the description of an Asset in the Armory and start a run, the description will appear on the screen throughout the run.
- Workaround: Return Soldier Select when restarting a game, open Armory, Select an Asset, then go to a weapon profile.
- If you buy an item in the Barracks/Armory and return to the Main Menu, the purchase is canceled and the money is returned to the player. The game saves only after restarting a run.
[h3]
In-Game[/h3]
- It is possible to start a run without any unit selected.
- Workaround: Return to the main menu and relaunch a run with "Start a new game".
- It is currently impossible to reread explanatory texts once closed, a codex is planned for release.
- The objective counter is not reset by pressing "Reset Turn".
- Victory/defeat screen: The exit button is sometimes inactive/not clickable.
- Workaround: Restart the game to continue.
- Switches and cranes still have their "Use" UI then even after use (when they are no longer usable).
- The "SAVE" IU for prisoners remains displayed after releasing them.
- Layering and transparency issues at times affect the visibility of characters and enemies.
- The same applies to preview movements, especially when there are elevation changes or jumps.
- Loss of FPS when using Grenade Juggle - especially on the second attack.
- Trampolines remain displayed after a reset but are not functional.
- Sometimes targets don't have the target over their heads to recognize them.
- Workaround: Move mouse over Objective to highlight targets
- Sync preview missing when targeting an enemy on a wooden box. Sync will still take place normally.
- On some dual-target attacks, pressing repeatedly on the same target increments an infinite number of damage but never performs the attack.
- Workaround: cancel the attack and restart by selecting 2 different targets
[h3]
Boss fight[/h3]
- Some performance issues may occur after a few turns.
