CIU version 142

CIU development
1

:warning: There is a bug in v.142.2 that will cause the CI2 “Mother-Hen Ship” boss to appear too frequently in Boss Rush missions. This has been corrected in v.142.3, which is available for Windows now. Android/iOS versions are awaiting for approval and should become available in the next 1-2 days.

MAIN CHANGES

This update removes “The Next Wave” episode from CIU. It might return (together with the rest of the episodes) at some point in the future. In the meantime, the CI2 “Mother-Hen Ship” boss has been added to regular Invasion and Boss Rush missions. This means that boss encounters in existing missions (e.g., your favourites) have potentially changed.

“Virtual Joystick” has been added to touchscreen control menu. Due to this change, all menu options have unavoidably been reset, so please take the time to customize them again to your liking.

Bug/Idea medals will be awarded later in the day. Note that your medal cannot be awarded if your in-game callsign doesn’t match your forum name (put it in your forum profile where it says “name” so I can find it).

COMPATIBILITY

You will lose:

  • any mid-mission progress
  • your language selection
  • your seasonal content setting
  • all menu options (e.g. Controls)

The new fade screen looks amazing. the game feels like it recieved a complete overhaul. Even if what changes is just the fade screen, the game now looks fresher than before.

You can still play on either v.142.2 or v.142.3 – the server won’t kick you out.

However, you cannot play multiplayer games between those two versions.
