v1.1

Beta 1.0.50 - 1.0.50.15

New Features

New: Upgraded the project to Unity 6.4.12.

New: Added Vulkan as a selectable graphics API option.

New: Added spending entries to the balance sheet, including repair costs and purchases of new items.

New: Added Service Requests to the computer.

New: Added a counter for completed Service Requests in the top-left UI.

New: Added Router devices.

New: Added Firewall devices.

New: Added Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) support. Multiple paths to a server can now be active at the same time. Previously, one path acted as active while the other remained passive. If one path is shorter, meaning it passes through fewer active devices, the shorter path will be preferred. This update also includes major changes to the pathfinding system.

New: Added the DMZ area.

New: Added Save and Load options for colors in the color picker. These color presets are system-wide and are not tied to a specific save file.

New: Added malicious packets from the internet. Every 10 minutes, your network is checked. If a malicious packet can reach a server, that server will be shut down.

New: Added router and firewall instructions to the tutorial menu.

New: Added localization support for the new content.

New: The game now keeps the two most recent autosaves.

New: Asset Management now displays IP addresses and VLANs in the device list.

New: You can now open the edit window for each device directly from Asset Management. From there, you can relabel devices, turn them on or off, and change their configuration.

Improvements

Improved: Improved keyboard and gamepad navigation in the hire screen.

Improved: The fullscreen toggle has been changed to a dropdown for clearer display mode selection.

Improved: Improved formatting for total XP and money values so they no longer use scientific notation.

Improved: Improved performance in scenes with many devices. The rendered vertex count has been reduced by roughly 2x to 3x or more in large setups.

Improved: Adjusted table colliders so objects underneath tables are easier to reach.

Improved: Added the label key hint to the bottom-right UI.

Fixes

Fix: VLANs are now visible on all switches along a route.

Fix: Empty servers no longer load with the Customer 1 logo.

Fix: Improved route evaluation, including the use of a Stopwatch to reduce stutter during evaluation.

Fix: Timed objectives were missing the hour value in the displayed time.

Fix: Technicians now prioritize broken devices when receiving a new job.

Fix: Fixed an issue where the technician mode dropdown options "Repair EOL 4h+ & Broken" and "Repair EOL 2h+ & Broken" could change by themselves.

Fix: Fixed an issue where requirements could sometimes be incorrectly marked as completed during loading before the proper load process finished. This could cause timed objectives to close even when app requirements had not yet been completed.

Fix: In server config on the edit label the key presses were registered in the IP config

Fix: Server label was not loading

Fix: Existing server label was filled in, in the Server config

Performance updates Improved: Object pooling for technician jobs. The devices changed by technicians are no longer destroyed but inserted into a pool and reused next time. (GC Garbage collector overload)

Improved: World Canvas culling is now one system instead off on each object

Improved: many assignments moved out of loops to decrease usage of GC.
