MAIN CHANGES
A lot of wave tweaks.
Also, added Accessibility settings (“Screen shakes”, “Screen flashes”, “Starfield scrolling”) in Options → Gameplay . Due to this change, all your Options settings will regrettably be reset during this update.
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
- anything you’ve set in the Options menu
