MAIN CHANGES
Once more, a lot of small improvements and bug fixes in this update. The most visible change is the addition of Easter Edition content. It’s minimal, only affecting the following:
- Chick (not chicken!)
- Crab v1 boss
- Egg Cannon boss
- Mother-Hen boss (CI3)
- Mother-Hen boss (CI4)
- Twice Infinity boss
- Iron Chef boss
- Planetary Egg City boss
- Bonus Challenge
- Alien Container
No music or sound effects have been changed. Easter content is temporary and will be reverted in the next update.
Bug/Idea medals will be awarded later in the day (even after your medal is awarded, you’ll need to re-connect to see it). Your medal cannot be awarded if your in-game callsign doesn’t match your forum name (send it to me in a private message).
COMPATIBILITY
You will lose:
- any in-mission progress
- any menu options you have configured

BACKUPS
You are reminded that during Early Access you are responsible for backing up your own progress. Make a copy of everything under C:\ProgramData\InterAction studios\CIU
(including all sub-folders). Never rename files or move them from one version folder to another. Simply make a copy and then later put it back exactly where you found it.
