Low Sun 0.8.7: Patch notes

Online multiplayer

• Clearer ways out of a match. The in-game menu now has separate options depending on your role:
  • Leave match disconnects you from the room. If you're playing, it now warns you that leaving counts as an immediate loss.
  • Return to lobby (host only) ends the match for everyone and takes the whole room back to the lobby.

• Spectators get a proper exit. If you're only watching, leaving just stops your spectating. No scary warning.
• "X is watching" notices. You'll see a short message when someone joins your match to spectate.
• Less clutter in your alerts. Online errors and notices, like "the room was closed" or "that color is taken", now show up as short pop-ups that disappear by themselves. Before, they stayed on screen until you dismissed them.
• Your "Ready" status sticks. The host can now change room settings without resetting everyone's ready check.
• Controller shortcuts in the online lobby. The shoulder buttons and triggers now switch tabs, create a room, refresh the list, enter a room code and open search. You no longer have to move the cursor all the way to each button.

Controller & feel

• More rumble. Your controller now vibrates lightly when one of your units takes a hit, not only when a unit is destroyed. The hit rumble is shorter and softer, so you can feel the difference between a hit and a loss.

Quick Tutorial

• It no longer covers your funds on Steam Deck. On smaller screens like 1280 px, the tutorial banner now finds free space instead of sitting on top of the money panel.
• Clearer feedback. When the tutorial blocks a move, its banner gives a small shake so you know where to look for the next step.

Campaign

• Simpler campaign map. The region tabs at the top of the campaign screen are gone, which makes the screen easier to read.
• Chapter One's ending is tidier. It no longer says the campaign is still in development, since Chapter Two is already out.

Visual fixes

• Sniper fits its tile again. The model is slightly smaller, so the full rifle stays inside its square even when the unit turns.
