Update (25 July 2017)

- This update adds a pack of 3 levels to enhance the beginning of the game.
- All 3 levels happen on the Mothership and take place just before the game intro. We've put some details here and there that might help you reveal what Mothership and her spawns really are.

How to start the new level pack
- If you already own BUTCHER and have some progress going on, we recommend starting the campaign in another (temporary) save slot. Alternatively, you can just play the levels one-by-one from the level browser.

Patch 1.8.0.78.5461 (25 July 2017)

General:
- Improved game's initial loading. Now the game's waiting for all players to load. Prior to patch, it was possible for a player with less performant PC to load slightly later than other players.
- Improved units locations synchronization in multiplayer games.
- New astonishing backgrounds on game's loading screens.
- Added new hotkeys, to complement existing ones:
- Shift+(1-0) - binds a number to a group of units, adding units to an existing on this number group
- New 'Free camera' option in settings, which allows to disable un-zoom constraints. Attention! as enabling this option may have negative impact on game performance.

Errors:
- Fixed a rare error, rendering DLCs invisible for the game, even when user owned them.
- Fixed an error, which prevented players from building one of the mines in second mission of Turkey campaign.
- Fixed an error with medicine upgrade, which was increasing max hp for other nations units.

- EndCredits: Mars Ashton added to the credits as a tester


Patch 122 (26 July 2017)

- BusStation: One of Garbo's lines was grey. Now white.


Patch 120 (26 July 2017)

- Sadie/Saleem wouldn't get together if you switched up the order you talked to them on the 2nd day, fixed
- GreggAngusApartment, A4D1: If you talk to Bea as Gregg, she has an empty interaction node

- ChurchSanctuary, A3D3: fixed issue where city council members would stop at the edge of the screen before disappearing
- TowneCentreEast, A4D3: if very specific conditions are met (have met lori, done one FQ with her but not the second FQ) Mae would fall through the roof after the conversation, fixed

Patch 117 (26 July 2017)

- wyrd teens bug fixed (if you talked to them once in a playthrough you'd never be able to talk to them again)
- low fps jump height fixed (if the game was running at low FPS, like under 25 fps or so, Mae's effective jump height would be lower making it hard/impossible to reach some areas i.e. in the Food Donkey)
