[p]Hello Survivors![/p][p][/p][carousel][/carousel][p]Please read a message from the Zaslavie administration.[/p][p]We welcome you to the new year! Thank you for being good citizens in 2025. We look forward to all the plans ahead of us.[/p][p][/p][p]A new update has just been launched, and here is what has changed in the zone:[/p][p][/p]

1. [p]ESC crash bug is finally conquered as promised! We appreciate your patience, comrades.[/p]
2. [p]Busel detector lag is fixed.[/p]
3. [p]Merchants do not buy vegetables anymore :( These bunker rats only want “valuable loot” now.[/p]
4. [p]Autosave feature added! Now the game will be automatically saved in a separate slot at every Shining Event. No more lost progress.[/p]
5. [p]Now you can cycle items in quick slots using your mouse wheel.[/p]
6. [p]Enable aiming/running/squat mode switching in the settings has been added – toggle on/off or hold to aim.[/p]
7. [p]You can now use a mouse scroll button to switch the flashlight on/off when it is attached to a gun.[/p]
8. [p]Brightness adjustment added in settings.[/p]
9. [p]You can now close containers with the E button (same as open), a small but very nice fix.[/p]
10. [p]Chicken house (or whatever that thing is) bug is fixed, no more random death and collision glitches.[/p]
11. [p]Screen shake on receiving damage further reduced.[/p]
12. [p]Lots of new items: hats and helmets, equipment and clothing, melee weapons, and NEW RUGS![/p]
13. [p]New character in SIRZEZ - Technician, he will help you get your rusty scrap in shape. [/p][p]NOT FOR FREE.[/p]
14. [p]Minor rebalance of item prices, durability, and spawn.[/p]
15. [p]Multiple softlocks fixed on locations.[/p]
16. [p]Slur filter added to text chat.[/p]
17. [p]New visual variations for mutants.[/p]
18. [p]Multiple minor fixes and improvements in UI.[/p]

[p][/p][p]Please note, in this update, some of the texts are not yet translated. We understand that it is important to play the game in your language, but we did not want to make you wait for these important fixes. A localization hotfix is coming in the following days. Please let us know in the comments if you like this rapid approach or prefer to wait for more “polished” updates.[/p][p][/p][p]In the next update, we will be focused on fixing the performance in the Khruschevkas zone, overall stability of the game, and then we can finally move full on to more global updates and content - advanced gameplay settings for servers, mods support, new locations, new mutants, new weapons, etc.[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you to all the players who shared their ideas for new mutants, locations, and anomalies, it was incredibly helpful. We really, really like your ideas, they inspire us a lot![/p][p][/p][carousel][/carousel][p][/p][p]We also wanted to share that in mid-February, we will update the price of the game closer to the market level. Still affordable and adequate for an indie game, though. We appreciate our players a lot, and as the game progresses and evolves, we feel that pricing MISERY as a survival adventure, rather than a friendslop, makes sense. This change will help us to keep working on the game and bring new content to you in the following free updates. So I guess you might want to grab MISERY while it is still a steal![/p][p][/p][p]For Zaslavie![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]UPD: YOU CAN SELL VEGETABLES AGAIN[/p][p]We hear your feedback, comrades.[/p][p]Zaslavie commissars have a nice talk with these bunker rats, and they changed their minds. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Barman buys vegetables again.[/p][p]Weapon repair prices slashed.[/p][p]A Hamster gas mask is now craftable.[/p][p][/p][p]They will think twice before making such moves in the future.[/p][p][/p][p]For Zaslavie.[/p]

[p]Good day, comrades.[/p][p][/p][p]You made Zaslavie proud this year, so we decided to drop another update before the New Year, so you can have a good holiday time.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][carousel][/carousel][p]Here is what changed in the Zone:[/p][p][/p]

1. [p]No. More. Desyncs. Yes, we reworked the multiplayer code, so there should be no more map desyncs. And yes, it solved the void bug as well. Finally. It is such a relief![/p]
2. [p]Single-player mode has been added. You can just press one button and start playing: no internet connection and no server setup required.[/p]
3. [p]Shinings counter fixed, no more resets.[/p]
4. [p]New anomaly spotted. Be super careful, or it can spill you all over the place.[/p]
5. [p]RGD-5 balance updated.[/p]
6. [p]Now you can open the menu while dead. It should allow you to kick/ban unwanted players and prevent spawn camping.[/p]
7. [p]Now you can change FOV in the main menu.[/p]
8. [p]Pixel font changed, and now Chinese, Polish, and Turkish localizations have no missing characters. Sorry, our Polish, Chinese, and Turkish comrades, it took so long to fix.[/p]
9. [p]New Feedback button in the main menu. If you want to send us feedback, tips, and suggestions - click it.[/p]
10. [p]You now can cancel placing furniture and building if you click right mouse button. Small but nice improvement.[/p]
11. [p]Kick Player changed to Ban Player. Kicked users are killed instantly and can no longer rejoin your world. Griefers are screwed! Be careful with your new power - do not ban your friends.[/p]
12. [p]Radiation bug fixed. You no longer receive lethal doses of radiation for no reason while chilling in your bunker.[/p]
13. [p]Artifacts’ effects stacking on pickup from the corpse bug has been fixed.[/p]
14. [p]Doors' status desync in a nuclear bunker location has been fixed[/p]
15. [p]White icons and missing textures bug fixed.[/p]
16. [p]Weapon pickup from your corpse bug fixed.[/p]
17. [p]Pickup Confirmation window sticking bug fixed.[/p]
18. [p]Stove collision fixed. Time to coooook.[/p]
19. [p]You are no longer able to destroy the bunker or shop doors with landmines. (Who even came up with that exploit???)[/p]
20. [p]Containers glitch fixed, no more stuck containers.[/p]
21. [p]Mouse sensitivity is now Float, and you can fine-tune it to your taste.[/p]
22. [p]Various minor fixes and changes.[/p]

[p][/p][p]Now we can take a moment, think about our friends, family, and loved ones, have a nice glass of Zaslavie’s finest champagne, and wish you a happy upcoming New Year, comrades! And let the next year be even better![/p][p][/p][p]For Zaslavie![/p]

[p][/p][p]Hello Survivors! Please hear the message from the Zaslavie Administration.[/p][p]We just launched a new update introducing a pack of new content and lots of Quality of Life features and bug fixes.[/p][p][/p][p]Here is what has changed in the Zone:[/p][p][/p]

• [p]Text Chat! While it is great to hear your comrades voice, now you can also communicate with text. Just hit Enter and send your message, and nearby people will see it.[/p]
• [p]Whistle indicator upgrade. Now you can see the whistle direction even if the person is out of your screen. It is much more convenient to navigate.[/p]
• [p]Crematorium upgrade. Now you can burn EVERYTHING. All the unwanted items will be turned to ashes inside this beast.[/p]
• [p]Furniture pickup confirmation. No more accidental destruction. Once placed, you need to confirm that you want to pick it up. On pickup, all the items that were inside the container will be placed in a bag nearby.[/p]
• [p]Buzzing flies fix. If there are no items left on the corpse, they will fly away. Smart.[/p]
• [p]Flinch (camera shake on impact) is reduced. Now it won’t be that bad when you catch a bullet. But we still recommend avoiding that. The Zaslavie Ministry of Health warns that lead exposure causes health problems.[/p]
• [p]The bug where you could not create a new server after exiting to the main menu is fixed. Now you can.[/p]
• [p]New points of interest in Village and City biomes.[/p]

• [p]Trees and ground collision in anomalies fixed.[/p]
• [p]New garage cooperative buildings.[/p]

It was a tricky bug in the game logic that caused the problem on some PCs. We know how uncomfortable this was, and we thank you for your patience while we fixed it.[/p][p][/p][p]Together with this major fix, we are releasing a pack of fixes and new features you asked us to add:[/p]

[p]We are now working on a big content update in December and fixing the remaining annoying bugs - map desyncs and Esc crashes, plus various QoL features and fixes that we will release from time to time in-between big updates.[/p][p][/p][p]We read all the comments and suggestions, and we now have a list of about 100 features and requests besides our main roadmap.[/p][p][/p][p]Please continue, it is very valuable. And it is your responsibility as citizens of Zaslavie![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]We also wanted to ask you to nominate MISERY for Steam Awards 2025 if you have not yet. This is a very important event, and it gives games a lot of visibility and helps cut through the noise and big marketing budgets of AAA games. We still have some time before the nomination phase ends on Monday. So take this chance to nominate and support games you love![/p][p][/p][p]There are many great games you can nominate, and our goal is to make it into the top 5 to reach the next round. Some games already have a big audience and will be nominated guaranteed, but for new games like MISERY, we need a little push from our players to get there. So think about it not as if MISERY is the best game of all, but should it have a chance to be nominated?[/p][p][/p][p]https://store.steampowered.com/steamawards/nominations/2025[/p][p][/p][p]We appreciate your support.[/p][p][/p][p]For Zaslavie![/p]
