On November 4, 2015 we released a split-screen mode for you and your friends to enjoy. Today we are bringing you several fixes to make sure you can continue to enjoy slaying all those nasty aliens.

No more dropping through levels
Several community members reported that they sometimes fell through levels at the beginning of a match. This is now fixed and you should no longer be able to free fall down the map when you join a game in Multiplayer.

Fixed wrong font in chat for clients
It was confusing during multiplayer matches to see different fonts being used for the chat. We now made sure that everyone sees and types in the same font.

Fixed chat over other players scores in multiplayer
We received multiple comments that it was annoying that the chat-window was being displayed over the scores of other players. This was not intentional, but we made sure that the chat now stays in the right corner.

Password pop-up button fix
When trying to join a server with a password both buttons said: ‘Cancel’, while one of them was meant to say: ‘Join’. This is now fixed.

Dead camera sound fix
Whenever you get your brains eaten in a multiplayer match you need to wait 20 seconds before you respawn. Unfortunately, up till now, you were never able to hear the sounds these players were making. This took away your opportunity to enjoy the sounds of dying aliens by the hands of your friends. Now that this is fixed you can once more see how your friends gain super high multipliers because you’re not there to steal their kills!

Achievements
The achievements that were tracking your overall progression of completing levels should now all work again. These achievements weren’t unlocking when players tried to unlock: They walked into my gun / Jerrycan / Hardened / Insane in the membrain.

Direct X Update
We’ve received emails from players reporting that the game would crash on launch. This was solved by updating Direct X. Because of this, we are now forcing a Direct X update check when you launch It came from space, and ate our brains. Should you still experience problems, please send us your crash logs and we’ll make sure to work on further improving your experience.

Finally, we wanted to wish all of you happy holidays!

After an awesome and successful beta of the splitscreen mode we have published an update on Steam that includes this feature, and more, for the world to enjoy! The following features are now available in ‘It came from space, and ate our brains’:


Thanks to all the feedback from our testers we have optimized the splitscreen mode, a mode that allows you to play with up to four players from your comfy couch! Killing aliens and protecting your brain is now even more awesome!

Simply start up a game, get your friends to pick up their controller and with the press of a button they can join the alien slaying carnage!




No longer do you have to depend on just the S.W.A.T. drone to drop items that you need to survive. Once you have scavenged enough coins during a game you can now simply purchase the items that you need from a new purchase window! Purchase an additional medkit, make your last stand with a dozen turrets or fight your way out by purchasing a shield! We’ll leave it up to you to see how far you will go to protect your brain.




The game now runs smoother than ever before! We’ve made a lot of fixes that increased the performance and stability of the game!
