Quantum Covenant Playtest · published · build 25160109
Shipped content now loads from packed files rather than loose files, with a signed manifest that gates leaderboard posts from a modified install. Invisible in normal play.
The drift station now requires drifting through the ring, not just holding a slide nearby.
A new MOVEMENT ABILITY station teaches dashing in all four directions, not just forward.
The dash station and drift-ring stations had a shared bug that could make them incompletable; fixed.
The instruction card carries one clear instruction instead of three counters and one lesson competing for space.
The grapple crossbeam lights up so the station's actual objective — the architecture — is visible rather than implied.
READY UP is impossible to miss for a new pilot; four separate legibility problems fixed.
Co-op runs post one row per team instead of one per pilot with the same total.
A guest now sees the squad's GLOBAL placement too, not just the host.
RIM PURGE reaches a pilot pinned high on the wall; the old blast radius fell short by 52 units at that spot.
Homing weapons can finally lock the Warden at all — it carried no AI target, so seekers flew straight past it since the boss was added.
Five enemies take their paint-booth hull colors. The aerial bomber is 1.5x larger (hitbox included; hull and flight feel unchanged).
The game could not exit cleanly on some machines: an unbounded GL error drain against a dead render context. Fixed.
Two ability keys (at_owner, follow_aim) silently did nothing since 2026-08-30 — authored on the wrong parser's file, with no log or error to notice by.
The repair drone and holo decoy's cooldowns start when the deployable expires, not at the cast, matching every other deployable.
A weapon with no reticle (grenade launcher) now keeps an orientation pip on screen.
A tier-1 auto-pick for weak machines: measures 120 clean frames and steps grass quality down automatically. Several defaults changed after measurement: early-Z, an equal-area scatter mesh, lean vertex data, and a 3-segment blade — 6.6ms down to 5.2ms combined.
