Welcome to all of the new Knights and mercs flooding the New Boston Zone! We've got the 4th post-launch update tonight with all sorts of improvements, bug fixes, and tweaks based on your community requests and F10s! With Update #4, we've improved support for Steam Deck and controllers - especially the deck's handling of trackpad and touch, and the ability to disable controllers like HOTAs and driving wheels easily. We've also refreshed the main menu to add a continue button, enabled hovering to see your cyberdeck details mid-mission, better starting defaults to ultrawide displays, fixed Remi's Trait Zeroprint level 2, improved the display if you have too many Talents to see on screen and more. Let's dig in to it!

A huge thanks to everyone in our community coming out to give good advice and friendly help to all the new players. We have the best community here, and it is showing. So thank you all for the support steamhappy

Our Save Game Policy and Updates

First, since you're going to be seeing a lot of updates around here - we want to share our saved game policy up front so everyone understands our commitment to your games. No saved game will ever be invalidated by an update. You never have to restart if you don't want to. All new content and features will be added immediately to all saved games (with the reasonable exception of New Game options). This is a studio commitment that we have made and kept for many years and games. We stand by it. So do not stress about the deluge of updates that is coming your way - heist on my good heisters.

Steam Deck and Controller Improvements

With Update #4, we've worked hard to improve Steam Deck and controller support across the board. So many of you are playing on the Deck especially, it is awesome to get so much feedback, posts, and F10s about how we can improve where you need us to focus.

Here are the big areas of improvement:

• Steam Deck touch screen is now fully supported very nicely. You can drop in and out of using touch and the Deck's controller at any time.

• Steam Deck track pad can now be configured to work as a mouse and smooth switch back and forth between the controller, touch and track pad.

• We have improved Steam Deck's handling of connecting and disconnecting to Remote Play to broadcast to other devices.

• Improved controller focus and button display throughout the game, no longer have a chance to drop back to desktop button display when swapping scenes.

• Fixed cases where oddly the (Y) button would not let you move even if that was what was configured.

Desktop Players with Other Controllers (Driving Wheels, HOTAs)

If you are a desktop player who has a more complicated set of controllers, this can make Cyber Knights: Flashpoint unhappy. Constant input from a driving wheel for example, can make the camera zoom all the way in, or half the buttons in the UI non-responsive because it thinks you're constantly holding down (X) etc.

We've improved the Disable All Controllers feature in Options > Controllers that lets you turn off controllers like this so that they don't negatively impact the game.

There was previously a bug with this feature that the controllers would come back on after you Alt-Tab'd out of the game, which was very problematic. This is now fixed as well!

Update Main Menu and Origins List

Of course, if you are a new player, the top two will be disabled and you'll start on New Game - so we've tried to hit the best of all worlds for everyone.

We've also improved the Origin Story pick list to make it easier to read and ensure you can see all the text regardless of screen size and font scaling. It also organizes the choices a bit more clearly and helps you see what you are picking on this screen.

Cyberdeck Hover Details

We've improved the Matrix HUD and the character status pop up during missions to include the full details about your current Cyberdeck. This can e helpful to see all the labels along with their values, the current health and programs loaded even when not in the matrix. Thanks for the F10s telling us you needed this intel - F10s granted!

Ultrawide Detection and Defaults

The game was previously not doing a great job of detecting ultrawide displays (32:9, etc) and setting up good defaults so that they would be immediately nice to play on. We've improved that with this update, now setting the Screen Mode in Options > Quality to Ultrawide if we detect that you monitor is such.

Remi's Zeroprint

Perhaps one of the top 10 most popular F10s this week - Remi's Zeroprint Trait did not have any bonus for Level 2. We've improved the progression flow for the Trait from Level 1 to 4, so thank you for reporting it!

Improved Display of Too Many Talents

If you have too many Talents, Programs, Cyberware or Items to fit all on one screen in the matrix or main mission, we've improved the display. This creates a horizontal scrolling list which you can scroll by D-pad, mousewheel or click and drag, but the visual style indicating it was there was not loud enough.

We've now improved the fade effect on either end of the list and added blue arrows letting you know you've got partial list "that way" if you want it.

Other F10s

We've fixed so many F10s it would be silly to try to recount them all here, and many were small little detail oriented tweaks. We've made a ton of minor map changes to improve maps, we've fixed a bug with starting Soldiers having spent 8/7 of their Training Points (where one of Marker Sights first nodes accidentally cost 2), fixed some primary and secondary objective mix ups, made Origami Joe's mustache come down out of his face, fixed places where Heat was discussed as a % in correctly, and improved the rejection message if you try to send a merc to cyber surgery but they are on Legwork already.

We've been busy, so thank you for sending in your F10s to help us have so much to polish and improve.
