The number of enemies spawned during defense missions now scales SIGNIFICANTLY depending on the chosen difficulty setting.[/p][p]If you were stuck on one of the defense missions, give it another go—you should be able to beat it now. Just make sure your chosen difficulty is indeed the right one for you overall. Have fun & let us know how it goes!
[/p][p]We want to assure you: the highest difficulty is still the same as before. So, it’s still a challenge even for veterans and skilled players.[/p][p]The update process will start around 8pm CEST and will start with Steam. The Xbox and the PlayStation will follow during the night.
[/p][p]We will continue to follow your feedback very closely in the coming days and weeks and make further changes to the balancing if necessary.
[/p][p]So let us know how it went for you![/p]

[p]We have been listening carefully to the forums, social media and bug reports since the release and have identified and directly solved some issues.
[/p][p]We will be releasing a hotfix update shortly that will fix the “autosave in tutorial” issue, among others, and will also include some other improvements.[/p]
