Patch Notes:
- All reinforcement bugs fixed (There shouldn't be any case where you can't respawn unless the tokens are out, also keep in mind a player is only able to be respawned 15 seconds after their death, and also remember you can reinforce multiple players at once by clicking the status report menu, spawn playable enemy after every death disables reinforcements)
- Net code heavily optimized (Sounds like a bunch of developer nonsense right? Well actually this means desync between players will be at a all time low and also fix various bugs unnamed on the patch notes.)
- Nuclear awareness fix (Issue where Nuclear awareness would tell you, you were infected when you actually weren't)
- Helicopter fuel tied to framerate fix + massive helicopter fuel buff
- Overlapping base camp 2 laser fix
- Not being able to click computer objectives fix (Will automatically open windows when hovering over a button in the computer, fixes original issue of not being able to click open documents as client)
- Brought back vehicles driving off if you get out of them while holding down s or w (I liked this one from the jump never viewed it as a bug until people started posting about it, but after seeing the massive support for the feature I have brought it back fully)
- Leeches made larger/more visible
- Performance optimizations
- Spectators not hearing alive players fix (Could require more testing, at least in our play tests after the fixes we weren't able to replicate the issue, However, if you see it again let me know!)
- Global voice chat volume not being applied at start of the game fix
- Invisible leeches fix
- Random death bug fix (Where host would seemingly get a fade out to black and hear a sfx as if they died but they really didn't
- Skins missing accessories fixes (YES THIS INCLUDES THE WWII SKIN) (If you were previously affected by this bug and don't see any change after the update, equip a default skin and then click the back button, then repeat the process but equip the skin you like and it should be fixed!)
- Rare but slim chance for overcast weather type

As for the base update, the goal is to get it live before Christmas, the hope was to get it done sooner but unfortunately the last update wasn't quite stable enough to leave off on. In the meantime we have some behind the scenes of the reworked models up on our discord page (linked on the store page)!

Patch Notes:
- Voice chat echo fixed
- Removed new voice chat effect
- Added voice chat compressor
- Switched to new higher quality audio compressor
- Reverted helicopters to old code fixing helicopters floating off pads

Patch Notes:
- Massive Performance Boosts (Tested on 4060, fps stayed stable from 80-135 fps with minimal drops/stutters)
- Random trip mine locations (Actual random trip mine locations, instead of trip mines turning on randomly)
- Reinforcements complete rework (Now displays number of reinforcement tokens on the top left of the reinforcement computer, no longer requires a classified material to reinforce, when clicking status report it will give you a button for all the people that can be reinforced i.e. if 4 people died you could call them all back at the same time, you can now be reinforced after turning/death from a head spider)
- Fall damage not allowing reinforcement fix
- Screen tilted after being reinforced fix
- Leeches slightly more visible in snow
- Snowmobiles driving off when getting out while the vehicle is still moving fix
- Drilling rig spawn location moved (too many people fell down the drilling hole)
- Infarred still on after being reinforced as a playable enemy fix
- Pickaxe hit box tightened up
- Look at me enemy was invisible and still moving after death fix (happened occasionally)
- Divide by 2 of the full price for selling a perk
- Delay on head spider attack depending on difficulty (Nightmare is still instant)
- Hide player name tag option brought back
- Pressing spawn playable enemy and then never spawn playable enemy fix
- Glacier invisible walls fix
- Helicopters sliding off pads fix
- Enemies not spawning nearby research
- Enemy navigation cleaned up (not noticeable by players but there were instances of enemies spawning on top of glaciers that were fixed)
- Hearing radio after reinforcements fix
- New voice chat effect (got rid of echoing)

NOTE: We are aware of an issue were spectators cant hear alive players, we were only able to reproduce this when tabbing out of the application and tabbing back in so that is what causes it. I am working on a fix for this asap but in the meantime don't tab in and out to avoid the issue. There is also another issue where if you plug in your microphone while the application is open it won't pick it up.

Hoping this update will buy me some time in terms of stability to focus on the base update for this month, but if there is something pressing please let me know and I will get a patch out asap. Some people were worried that I am no longer focusing on optimizations, and bug fixes since the roadmap is out. This is not the case and it is indeed my #1 priority.

Thank you all for supporting Nuclear Nightmare. It has been a dream come true for me and I hope to give you some more insight into BG Productions as a company and the future for Nuclear Nightmare. My goal while making this game was to have everything driven by the community in terms of suggestions, and changes. I am sorry that I haven't been able to respond to everyone's feedback directly as of recently because of the exploding popularity ever since the sale. Do note however, I try to read through every suggestion, review (although, sometimes a little hard when somebody calls the game a piece of garbage), or discussion.

Roadmap for those who do not want to watch the video:

The Base Update (DECEMEBER)
Barricades

New Guns/Weapons
Expanding on core gameplay loop
New skins
New Perks

Possible Maps for Q1-Q2 (Completely conceptual as of December 2nd)

DX11 Method

Also keep in mind on top priority is fixing bugs and QOL so don't be worried that we'll forget those sides of things! These are also quite optimistic timelines, sometimes in development things can take longer or shorter than you thought. However, as the forest and the base update are already in active development these timelines are quite realistic.

(Sorry for all the Um's and you knows in this video I am not use to recording myself speak as you might be able to tell)

(If you are experiencing disconnects during reinforcements make sure your game is up to date or your friends game is up to date, it sounds like a mismatch version)

- Items falling through buildings when unloading areas fix
- setting framerate to 0 fix
- Hud disappearing randomly fix
- perk corruption protocols put in place to stop it from occurring (please contact me if your file has been corrupted in the past)

- Choose microphone input in game
- Death voice chat
- Improved/Reworked player tags
- Reinforcements no longer take away classifieds however you will still need to complete one in order to call a reinforcement (Reminder if this is too easy for you, you can always disable reinforcements in world settings, also note that this is not final and is subject to change if you tell me this is a terrible idea)

- Voice chat toggle option in settings

- Switching to scope using keyboard fix
- Moving while doing gen if you have frostbite fix
- Soft locked after dying then seeing the end game screen and then turning from infection fix
- Radio delays have been brought down to 2-3 seconds (still needs more work)

BEWARE: Global voice chat occurring after reinforcements is still a known issue and I am working hard to solve it, this will go hand in hand with the radio issue and I am hoping to get it solved asap.
