Today we're launching a small hotfix to address many of the issues that have been introduced with the latest patch, as well as tackle some community feedback.
The primary thing we want to address is difficulty. We want the game to be challenging but not punishing. We want those desire a more laid back experience to have that, while the hardcore among you that want a tense, edge-of-your-seat challenge to feel the game is providing that for you as well.
That's why we've reworked some of how the difficulty ramps work in the game, as well as introduced a new difficulty mode to help bridge the gap between those that find the game too easy as well as too difficult.
There's still work to be done, but this should be a step forward in helping all players find the challenge level that best suits their play style.
Please note: Your save games safe and are unaffected by this update. However, if you want to experience the difficulty changes you will need to start a new campaign.
