Milestone 1.21 Released! (Stability Fix)

We're releasing another stability fix for various issues encountered by our players on launch day. A big thanks to all the people who took the time to report the various issues they've encountered today so we can fix them!

Changelog:
  • Esc now skips the starting cinematic.
  • The starting cinematic now correctly obeys the volume sliders.
  • The Settings menu is now available in the tutorial.
  • Fixed the game refusing to load at all if you had older saves from the demo or from old backer builds still in your save directories.
  • Fixed a crash that could occur when using explosive weapons (e.g. the HEVY / grenades) beyond their maximum range.
  • Fixed a crash that would occur if you added quotation marks (" ") to a soldier name and then tried to start a tactical combat mission.
  • Fixed a crash when hiring new soldiers if you'd deleted the default Rifleman loadout.
  • Fixed a crash that could occur if you built your first base in Greenland. As a temporary fix for various related issues which we can't address in a quick patch, you're no longer able to build a base on Greenland. These will be fixed properly in a future build, at which point you'll be able to build bases there again.
  • Fixed an issue where players would lose all their manufactured soldier items if they lose an Abduction mission due to not opening enough of the containment tubes before the timer runs out.

Milestone 1.20 Released!

Hello everyone. We've just a very small patch to fix a crash that could occur if players tried to rebind keys while playing in a non-English language!
