Thank you everyone for playing Swarmfall and sharing your feedback! This update brings quality-of-life improvements to the Shop UI, live fleet preview fixes, and improved Steam Leaderboard & Cloud connectivity across all platforms.
UI & Quality of Life
- Detailed Upgrade Tooltips: Hovering over any Starship or Fleet upgrade in the Shop now displays the exact stat change (Current -> Next (+Gain)) directly inside the tooltip, dynamically scaling with your selected Buy Amount (x1, x3, x5, x10, or MAX).
- Improved Tooltip Layout: Added multi-line tooltip formatting with highlighted stat gains and improved screen-edge clamping.
Shop Fleet Simulation Fixes
- Consistent Preview Scaling: Fixed Shop live preview combat calculations so Fighter, Laser, Bomber, and Tesla ships accurately preview their upgraded stats without being affected by active Open World enemy scaling or temporary combat states.
- Tank & Medic Preview Polish: Tank shield regeneration, collision damage, and Medic healing beams now preview smoothly and consistently in the Shop simulation window.
- State Cleanup: Fixed an issue where preview projectiles or particle effects could carry over between gameplay and the Shop preview.
Steam Leaderboards, Cloud & macOS Fixes
- Steam API & Leaderboard Connection Fix: Fixed an issue where the Steam native library could fail to initialize on macOS (Apple Silicon & Intel) and Linux builds, or when launching the game outside the Steam library window, which previously caused the Leaderboard menu to report "Steam is not running".
- Steam Cloud Sync: Added native Steam Cloud save synchronization to automatically back up and restore your progress across devices.
