[2020] Steam Release Patch Notes: Early Access - v0.3.5.2 - Build 124504

Hi Pioneers!

We’ve got another hotfix for the Steam Release going live now on all versions of the game. This one addresses a few crashes some of you are experiencing when trying to play the game, as well as some login issues when starting the game.

We are also adding two start-up arguments that can be set as a launch option manually on Epic or Steam. One of them disables all multiplayer related connections, so no connections between accounts and EOS are attempted while playing singleplayer. The other start-up argument blocks Steam from activating while playing on the Epic Games Store, which allows players that own the game on both platforms to play using EGS only if their accounts are not linked and to run both versions of the game at the same time.

In Steam, you can set launch options by right-clicking on the game in your library and set it under Properties > General > Set Launch Options

In Epic Games Launcher, you can set this under Settings > Manage Games > Additional Command Line Arguments

In addition to this, we’ve added Serbian translations, updated all other translations, fixed some minor bugs, and are now blocking EOS metrics when playing through Steam, which are not necessary since Steam has their own metrics. You can find all the fixes in the notes below.

If you have any further feedback or bugs to report, please let us know on our questions site.
