Asteroid: Pre-SEASON v1.1.5 Patch Notes

Hello travelers,

Here are the Asteroid: Pre-SEASON v1.1.5 patch notes!

  • We fixed an issue with the cursor: prior to this patch it did not correctly follow the position of the mouse pointer or the right analog stick (when using a controller) once it reached the edge of the screen, locking the cursor in that position for a short time.
  • Minor bugs fixed.


COMING WITH THE NEXT PATCHES

  • A graphic restyle of the main menu is foreseen.
  • A modernization of the controller control system is planned, allowing the movement of the sticks at 360 ° instead of the only 8 directions available and improving the use of the control buttons.
  • New ships are coming for purchase in the Shop.
  • New Events are coming.
  • Bug fixes found in development and reported by users.


We hope you will continue to enjoy Asteroid!

Icing on the cake: a global test for Asteroid Online is coming!

Asetroid Online is Asteroid's online multiplayer mode scheduled to launch later this year.
In this mode it will be possible to play with a friend or a stranger by connecting in the same room to explore space together, fight in the Black Hole Raid to get rewards, compete in the PvP Arena, exchange items and much more.
In 2023, the possible number of players in the same room is expected to increase from 2 to 4 players.
We will also aim to create an MMO room shared with all players, but for now let's start thinking small!

The global test for Asteroid Online is coming this November. We invite you to follow us both here on Steam and on all our social networks such as Twitter, Discord and Instagram to find out when it will be available to the public.

Asteroid: Pre-SEASON v1.1.3 Patch Notes

Hello travelers,

Here are the Asteroid: Pre-SEASON v1.1.3 patch notes!

  • Added "Return to title screen" button accessible from the game menu. This will allow the player to easily return to the title screen without worrying about having to close the game. We took the opportunity to solve the problem related to the Options, previously not accessible during the game session and which could only be consulted from the main menu. For the moment it is still like this due to some compatibility problems with some settings: to change them during the session, just go back to the title screen, change the Options from the main menu and resume the adventure.
  • Added system alerts regarding game updates and server-level maintenance.
  • The "Survey" function has been added to the extended menu. This feature will allow players to receive free rewards by completing short user experience surveys. The surveys are fully localized in the English language. In the future, exclusive surveys may be proposed for specific geographic areas.
  • The social icons of Alestore Inc. have been added to the main menu that refer to Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Discord.
  • Minor bugs fixed.


KNOWN ISSUES

  • We are investigating a cursor problem. It would not correctly follow the position of the mouse pointer or the right analog stick (when using a controller) once it reached the edge of the screen, locking the cursor in that position for a short time.


COMING WITH THE NEXT PATCHES

  • A graphic restyle of the main menu is foreseen.
  • A modernization of the controller control system is planned, allowing the movement of the sticks at 360 ° instead of the only 8 directions available and improving the use of the control buttons.
  • New ships are coming for purchase in the Shop.

The section is constantly updated and we intend to give players the opportunity to customize it.
  • Improved the resolution of visual damage counters that appear when an enemy is hit.
  • Minor bugs fixed.


KNOWN ISSUES

  • We are investigating an Event related issue. The "Star Collector" Global Challenge Event would not correctly count the stars collected by players, resetting or completely changing the counter number shared with all players.

  • The Options, currently available and modifiable only and exclusively in the main menu, can also be viewed in the extended menu during the game session. Note: initially some of the settings such as language and control mode will not be editable from the extended menu, and will therefore have to be changed from the main menu anyway.
