New Patch for Aliens: Dark Descent

Aliens: Dark Descent · published 3 years ago

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hi everyone,

Thanks to your feedback, we worked on a hotfix to resolve the issue regarding your missing marines when launching a New Game + campaign. We are sorry for the inconvenience and hope you'll have a great time facing the new difficulty parameters we brought for you in the last update.

You should now properly get your marines when creating a NG+ campaign using a save created before the release of the New Game + Update but please note that in some cases the experience won during the Mission 11 Olduvai Dig Site will not be saved. If you want to be sure to have your marines with the experience gained during that mission please follow those steps:

  • Load your last Otago save or your last Olduvai Dig Site (Mission 11) save
  • Complete the mission 12: Redemption
  • Go back to the main menu

Disclaimer: This hotfix is aiming players creating New Game + campaigns based on campaign saves that were created before the release of the New Game + update. For the players that already created a NG+ campaign and have some marines missing, you will need to create a new NG+ campaign if you want to get back all your marines. We are once again sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you for your patience. Have a great time playing Aliens: Dark Descent!

EDIT:

Hi everyone,

We released a hotfix yesterday that was aiming to fix a bug where marines were missing when creating a New Game + campaign. Unfortunately when we released the patch some players reported that it was now impossible to create a New Game + campaign using a save from a campaign dating from prior the New Game + update.

We immediatly looked into it and we fixed the issue. With this hotifx you will now be able to create a New Game + campaign and get all your marines just like it was intented. You should now be able to correctly create a NG+ campaign using a save from a campaign created before the release of the New Game + update.
Like we said in the patch note yesterday, in some cases the experience won during the Mission 11 Olduvai Dig Site will not be saved. If you want to be sure to have your marines with the experience gained during that mission please follow those steps:

  • Load your last Otago save or your last Olduvai Dig Site (Mission 11) save
  • Complete the mission 12: Redemption
  • Go back to the main menu


We are truly sorry for this unexpected bug and hope you'll have a great time playing Aliens: Dark Descent.
Thank you for your patience and your passion.
