MAIN CHANGES
v63.1 has a bug where the game will crash if you search for members to add to your squadrons. Use v.63.2 instead.
This started off as a small maintenance update, but evolved into quite a substantial update. The most prominent change is the addition of Balloon chickens, which can appear randomly as part of the “elite” enemy tier. There are also numerous bug and quality-of-life fixes, check out the changelog below.
Bug/Idea medals will be awarded later in the day. 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
- all graphics options, which includes your window/borderless/fullscreen setting.
- if any options have been removed or added to a new version, then all menu options (not just graphics) will be lost.

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.
