Commandos: Origins - Update 1.1
EDIT: We’ve also just released a hotfix for Update 1.1 on Steam.
This hotfix addresses several crashes that some players have been experiencing since the latest Update.
We’ll continue monitoring and are actively working on any reports we receive.
Commandos!
Thank you for your constructive feedback, suggestions and reviews!
We just released Update 1.1 on Steam which includes various fixes for reported game and performance issues and crashes as well as some implemented feedback like a decreased size of the displayed version number.
The other platforms will follow as soon as possible.
Please note: We suggest finishing already started missions on the old version before using Update 1.1. For anyone that has already updated the game we have prepared a legacy branch (Legacy_1.0.2) for finishing your missions. You can switch back to the new update afterwards.
This is merely the first step and we are already working on major Update 1.2 which will tackle more issues, reports and feedback.
For more details, please check out the full changelog below.
