• Patch - November 9th 2015 - 9 November 2015

  Following up from our big update last week we've spent some time looking in to strange resolution issues some players have reported and have just released a small patch to fix these issues. There were a few distinct issues reported, most of which we were able to replicate across Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 machines using a variety of DPI scaling settings within Windows. The latest version of the game now appears to scale the graphics and mouse correctly regardless of what resolution or DPI setting you're using and should work correctly in windowed and fullscreen modes. Changes in this patch include: - Fixed issue where mouse was locked to the top left corner. - Fixed issue where the game rendered off-screen. - Fixed issue where the game would launch in a very small window. - Fixed issues with NVIDIA Dynamic Super Resolution. - Added 2560x1440 window resolution for high res monitor users.…

• The Big Autumn 2015 Update - 4 November 2015

  Since our last update to Z Steel Soldiers (which re-introduced Skirmish Mode) we’ve been busy collating community feedback, looking into issues that some players reported and generally finding ways we can improve the game based on suggestions that have been made by our fans. Our latest update includes some fixes, new features, and graphical changes which we think improve the game and provide an all round better gameplay experience: Fixes: Fixed black textures on Intel GPUs with newer drivers and/or Windows 10. Fixed shader issues experienced on certain GPUs. Fixed a crash when using the Weather Centre. Fixed a stall after viewing the cutscene after completing the final level of the campaign. Fixed a bug in the line-of-sight system which affected the visibility of enemy units at the very edge of the visible range. Fixed a bug where vehicles would rotate on the spot the wrong-way before m…

• The Skirmish Update - 22 May 2015

  It's update time again Z fans! We've been working hard on fixing graphical issues with skirmish mode and have fixed a number of other issues along the way. Skirmish mode is still under active development while we work on fixing some issues and thus we have marked it as being beta. We've tested it internally and it seems to work well but we're interested in knowing if you have any feedback or suggestions for us for skirmish mode, or for the game in general. This update include the following changes: Skirmish mode now available for beta testing. Increased maximum zoom level. Fixed bug related to Windows DPI settings (playing on High DPI / 4k monitors). Fixed some objects which rendered all-white. Rewrote shaders to improve performance. Made build grid easier to see. Made joystick selection box easier to see. Now show build timers when buildings are active. Now show armour and shield bars…

• Quick Patch - 24 March 2015

  Yesterday we pushed out a small update to the game which fixed a major issue being encountered by some players which would only happen occasionally during heavy firefights. The patch also included a few new particle effects which should also fix the issue where smoke and fire appeared to use an alternate texture in certain situations. We're keeping an eye on the crash reporting system while we work on Skirmish mode and hope to have more news soon :)

• Lassar's Tech Center Patch - 18 March 2015

  Hi Z fans! It's patch time again, this time we have a few fixes for the game which we hope will fix some major issues with the game that many players were experiencing. First up is the fix for level 18. We had a number of programmers look in to this issue where Lassar could not enter the Tech Center in order to complete the mission and we couldn't see what was causing the bug. We had a new programmer recently join the team and he managed to figure it out and has confirmed the problem no longer exists in this new version! Lassar and the Technician We've also fixed the issue where bunkers would become very hard to destroy which was a side-effect of us increasing the robot sizes from the original game. Also in this patch are a number of crash fixes and general bug fixes which we've been able to fix using the crash reports we've been recieving from our players. We're continuing our work on…

• Did someone say... Skirmish? - 11 March 2015

  New (old) maps for Skirmish mode support 2 to 8 teams Since our last update we have received a number of crash reports from players which pointed us to some very strange little issues in the original game code for Z Steel Soldiers. We've used the information in these crash reports to help fix some potential crashes and memory issues, including: - Crash in music system when playing a particular music track. - Crash in particle system under certain circumstances. - Crash due to map nodes being corrupt. - Crash due to list of lights not being cleared. - Memory leak between levels now fixed. - Various small issues which could potentially lead to crashes. We've also now updated our crash reporting system even further to help fix the remaining issues a few players are encountering. Alongside this we've made a few other changes: - Improved performance a little in the rendering. - Altered the r…

• Quick Update - 4 February 2015

  Hi Z Fans, We've been busy here at TickTock working on extending Z Steel Soldiers as well as getting it ready to ship on a few more platforms. We've been taking note of all the feedback we've received and are currently preparing an update for the game and also plan to spend more time fixing smaller issues over the coming months. Today we've pushed out an update to the game which now includes a crash reporting system. We are aware some users are experiencing crashes in the game and we have been unable to reproduce any of these on any of the machines in our office. The new crash reporting system will intercept the crash and allow you to send a report back to us which will hopefully shed some light on the actual cause of the crashes so we can fix them before pushing out our next update. We're also looking at the technician issues, some of which we resolved with our last update but many peo…

• Major Bug Fix - 6 November 2014

  We're pleased to announce the release of our latest patch which now includes a fix for the level 18 bug which was stopping players from progressing past the level. Thanks to community member Marauder2k9 for identifying a fix for the issue. We'd been scouring the code for any issues related to the use of Lassar and Tech Centres, but as it turns out we could fix the bug by editing the level definition file! We're now looking in to the crashes some people are experiencing in heavy fire-fights and will have a fix for that in our next patch. Thanks for playing and please remember to use the forum to leave feedback :)

• The original cut scenes are back! - 5 August 2014

  Hi fellow Z fans. We're happy to announce that our first game update is now live! This update includes the following changes: - Intro videos and cut scenes re-enabled! We know this will please a lot of you who're fans of the original game. We decided not to include them on launch as we found some incompatibilities with certain PC configurations but we have now resolved those issues so you can all enjoy the FMVs which appear at the start of each theatre of war (if you've played through the levels already you can watch the videos by selecting to re-play the first level of each unique type). - Fixed a bug where the leaderboards would show instead of showing names of players. - Fixed a crash on the leaderboards when switching to some of the later levels. - Fixed a bug with the Technical Takedown achievement which would award you the achievement after capturing only a single enemy building.…
