Heat Signature

New Patch: Version 2017.09.28.1

We've uploaded a new patch, here's what's changed:

  • The Everything Gun is automatically unlocked for everyone who plays the game before Oct 5th, whether or not you steal it.
  • You can still steal it from the shipment, if you haven't already, as a reliable way of obtaining it the first time.
  • Everything Gun status reported on character select.
  • Improved memory management.
  • Added memory usage logging.


We've also made a few changes to the compatibility-test beta that will hopefully fix Out Of Memory errors or slowdown for a few players:

  • Textures are now loaded on-demand.
  • Sleep Margin increased from 1ms to 10ms.

You can visit the Technical Problems thread for instruction on switching to the compatibility-test beta.

Thanks!

Edit: fixed a typo.

New Patch: Version 2017.09.26.1

We've uploaded a new patch, here's what's changed:

  • MUCH easier to Concussion Hammer guards through windows.
  • Easy and Medium missions no longer dry up for a character who does lots of them.
  • Less loud armour impact noise.
  • Unlocking Medium Capacity items always generates that item in shops.
  • Better Guard Loot icon and Stealth Shield sprite.
  • Fixed finding duplicate legendary or friends' items.

Thanks!

New Patch: Version 2017.09.25.1

We've uploaded a new patch, here's what's changed:

  • If you manage to wedge your pod in a small gap of a larger ship, we now let you fly out after a few bounces.
  • Clicking while dialogue is still writing now completes the dialogue instead of progressing.
  • Less sharp dialogue-writing noise.
  • Fixes for several rare crashes when:

    • Armed glitchtrap is ejected into space.
    • Ship module destroyed near guards.
    • Firing ship's missiles.


Thanks!

Minor Update: Added Redistributables

We've updated the redistributables for Heat Signature, which we hope will help some of the people who can't run the game at all. There's no changes to the Heat Signature code itself, so everyone else won't see any changes from this update.

If this does fix your problem, or if it still doesn't work, please fill out our bug report form again and let us know: Bug Report Form

Thanks!

A new patch is live! Version 2017.09.22.1

Our second patch is now up, here's what we changed:

  • Fixed end game conversation with Fiasco sometimes not triggering after liberating all four Strongholds.
  • We heard that screenshake can cause nausea for some, so we've added an option to disable it.
  • The U key is no longer hard-coded to toggle UI. You can now bind other controls to U and toggle UI to other buttons.
  • Fixed 'U' key display in Controls menu.
  • Added fast-forward hint when player is carried.
  • You'll no longer get Hijack missions with a No Living Witnesses clause, because, well, you're delivering the whole ship and everyone on it, so who really cares if any of them saw you?
  • Fixed a rare crash when player is floating in space.


A couple of people were getting graphical corruption or the game not starting, if that's you we have a second possible solution to this in the tech post now, full instructions there: http://steamcommunity.com/app/268130/discussions/0/1496741765123664804/

Thanks!

Heat Signature is out! First patch already live!

Heat Signature launched today, and we've been so delighted to see all the stories and moments people are sharing already!

There were a couple of things we saw we could fix right away, so a new patch is already live.

Windowed Mode


This is now in the options menu and we'll remember your preference. Alt+Enter still works as before. You can also resize the window by dragging it.

Stuttering on very high-res screens


We found an issue that could cause slowness on some very high res setups, and fixed it. If you still see stuttering, let us know via the form below and be sure to fill in your specs.

If you have any problems not yet fixed, this post on our forums has some workarounds and a link to the best way to report problems to us: http://steamcommunity.com/app/268130/discussions/0/1496741765123664804/
