Bit Reactor's Star Wars strategy title, Zero Company, has received its first patch, version 1.1, aiming to rectify several critical issues that impacted the game's stability and core mechanics. The update addresses multiple crash problems, including specific fixes for Beskar mode, and resolves a long-standing bug that caused players to miss shots even with a 100% chance to hit.
The patch notes indicate that "various crash issues" have been fixed, which should improve the overall stability of the game. Crucially for players engaging with the game's iron man mode, known as "Beskar" mode, the patch also addresses "an issue where Beskar saves were temporarily deleted" and "a crash issue for Beskar mode." These fixes are expected to make the high-stakes mode more reliable and less prone to data loss.
Perhaps one of the most significant gameplay fixes is the resolution of an issue where shots could be missed despite a 100% hit chance. This bug could lead to frustrating misses on seemingly guaranteed attacks, undermining player confidence in crucial moments. The patch intends to ensure that when the game displays a 100% hit chance, the shot will now land.
While the patch tackles several bugs, some players report that the issue of overwatch not triggering when enemies move through targeting cones during their turn remains unaddressed. However, fixes have been implemented for instances where overwatch would incorrectly trigger against units outside the targeting cone or behind solid objects. The developers are also reportedly operating with a skeleton crew, which may influence the pace of future updates.
Fans hoping to dive into Zero Company's Beskar mode might find this patch a welcome step towards a more polished experience, though it seems some players may still opt to wait for further stability improvements before committing to a full iron man run.
