Hello Ascenders,
With this update, we solve a variety of issues that the community has brought to our attention. However, one thing to note with this update: the in-game leaderboard is being taken down temporarily so that we can find a better way to implement it.
We will continue to fix things up as quickly as possible and continue to shape the best Ascend to ZERO experience. A lot of this has been possible due to the community providing reports and flagging up potential issues. Please continue to letting us know how we can improve the game via the CS forms found here, on Discord in the appropriate channels, or in the Steam discussions. Thank you!
