[h2]Old save files will work with this new build,[/h2]

Windows 7 Support will be ending soon when we update to 4.27 of the Engine Build. We will archive the last stable build for windows 7 for a year after the official update. The windows 7 build will not receive updates/and we will give very basic support

So if your on Windows 7 we highly recommend updating your OS in the future as our engine provider Epic Games has also started to remove dependencies and other runtimes that are needed for the game to run properly.

[h3]Change list[/h3]

Deployment System : This is one of the final systems we've been planning to wrap up unit recruitment. Over the next week or so units will get better more fitting parachutes + and they will be more evenly spaced out for drops. (A new system was added so units purchased have to airdrop in to your location making it harder to just spam out of poorly planned defenses/situations. A plane makes a pass by every 30 seconds the mesh will be added for the actual unit doing the airdrop next week)
You can now save and load presets for unit customizations for any unit type
Open World V2 improvements relating to building locations and more objects you can remove
Added seizure warning to the game
Loading Screens revised to reduce flashes
Fix for sandbags/misc structures launching units
Fixed blending oddities for all 3P weapons

Cepheus Protocol Anthology

We will be launching a new weekly series that will see several chapters added every Friday after release and will cover the chapters of the Novelization with 5 chapters added to expand upon the story and give more value to those itching for more lore/story information. It will delve into and show more about a secret new faction that will become the Anti-CERC in the Cepheus Protocol universe.
