The last chapter of Last Stop unfortunately requires a bit more time in the oven, however, we did finish up the mansion level, so we hope everyone will enjoy it! The main reason why we require more time for the last remaining maps is due to our current team size. But that doesn't mean that there isn't any new content. This update brings 1 new map for Panic!, Flatline, Escape, and Hunted.
[h2]Supporter DLC[/h2]

[h3]Steam Deck Compatibility[/h3]
Contagion is now Steam Deck verified! The UI and the base game had a lot of changes to make the game more compatible with the Steam Deck. But that's not all, the party system now supports up to 16 players instead of 8. This change is both on the PC and Steam Deck version, so you can play with friends who are either on the go or at home.
The "HTML Interaction" entities have also been updated to support Steam Deck inputs since there were some issues where pressing the A or X button would sometimes not work as intended. The entities will also be given proper touchscreen support, as it requires 2 taps to make it fire the "mouse press" event.
[h3]New Survivor[/h3]
Diego Fernández, is a new character for Contagion. Voiced Stig Sydtangen (DragonNOR).
Diego was once the leader of the drug cartel "The Fire Dragon". His survival was thanks to being imprisoned at Roanoke PD about a week before the outbreak started near Barlowe Square. When the chaos ensued in the police department Diego took the golden opportunity. To survive.[h3]Campaign[/h3]
Campaign mode is now finally feature complete. This means it finally reads "env_outtro_stats" to end the actual campaign. Not only that, EOR (End Of Round) stats will no longer show in Campaign mode when reaching the Safe Zone, instead it will display all stats at the very end from the "env_outtro_stats" entity.
[h3]Flatline[/h3]
A brand new map called "Southwest Barlowe Bank" has been added for Flatline. This is the only map so far that contains 15 waves instead of the default 10.
Flatline zombie waves have also been updated and tweaked, to support more than 10 waves. After the 10th wave, more runners and zombies with hardhats will spawn until there are only runners left.
A new boss, called the Screamer, has been added. It's a very fast zombie that can down a survivor real quick if not quickly taken care of. But that's not all for Flatline, a brand new map and a lot of changes and tweaks have been made to improve Flatline further, such as improving the bot AI to be able to not only buy their own weapons, but they can now finally heal nearby friends. They will prioritize players instead of other bots and themselves if said player requires health.
[h3]Workshop[/h3]
New entries have been added to the Workshop tags which are "Panic!" and "Campaign". 2 old tags have also been removed, "Panic Objective" and "Panic Survival".
