Patch 1.1- New Map, Customization and More!
Finally able to break our silence to announce the latest patch for Omega Extinction! Just in time for the Lunar New Year sale!
Patch 1.1 brings a few new things along with some fixes, such as:
New Map- The Medical Bay
Patch 1.1 comes with a brand new map "The Medical Bay", as the title alludes to the map is set on the station's medical bay. It has 3 key areas:
- The Lower Offices
- The Emergency Room
- Surgery
The offices are where the ship's medics/doctors would perform checkups on patients or do their day-to-day work.
The Emergency room is the first point of contact for the injured and they are placed here in times of need.
Surgery is exactly what the name implies, and has access to the lower perfomance area with an upper floor for spectators to learn from the surgeon.
New Customiztion Option- Color
We've added the option now to customize the colour of your suit lights which also change your laser gun's lights and laser beam! All colours are unlocked immediately as well so no need to rank up to unlock them!
New Achievements!
8 new achievements have been added to the game! See if you can unlock them all!
Bug Fixes
We've also fixed a bunch of bugs, listed here:
-Can no longer get stuck attempting to join someone on a different region
-Errors are more clearly displayed when there's an issue joining a game
-All errors should now display a message, preventing an endless "connecting" message
-Current region is now displayed next to the switch region button
-Customization model should no longer spin when pressing the different buttons to choose armour
-Heat vision camera should see the experiment a bit easier now
-Fixed an issue with the laser on "The Void" map.
Thanks so much for playing everyone

Patch v1.03 - Usability Fixes
I'm pushing out an update a bit sooner than I thought I would be as I came across a rather large issue that needed correcting. So along with that fix the following has also been added/changed/fixed:
-Can no longer attempt to join a game on a different region through steam (would end up blocking you from doing anything)
-Errors in joining through steam/match browser should no longer get stuck and display clearly what the issue was
-Customization should no longer rotate when clicking on menu buttons
-Map display in the lobby has been updated to now correctly indicate the full map name
-Added a 1440p resolution
-Fixed an issue where a game could be started with insufficient players, which would result in the game being "stuck"
More to come over the next few weeks I hope!

Full patch notes below:

-Fixed an issue where there was some missing geometry on the pipes in the Engine Room

Omega Extinction OUT NOW! (Plus some potential FAQs)
As you may know now we have just officially released Omega Extinction on steam! Very exciting times for us! Due to the worldwide reach of steam however and the fact that we are a 2-person development team, there may be a case where if anything is going wrong we’ll be asleep or unavailable, so I thought I’d take the time to write some common fixes for problems and general info for you in case we’re unreachable.
Q: I can’t login, it keeps failing to connect!
A: Try opening the ports found here: https://doc.photonengine.com/en-us/realtime/current/reference/tcp-and-udp-port-numbers
If that doesn’t work, try restarting steam or waiting 15 minutes before connecting again. If the problem persists, take a screenshot of the error message and email us at contact@twinvaultgames.com
Q: My game is slow/laggy.
A: First off, try checking the quality settings in the Options area, by default they will be set fairly high so try decreasing them. If that doesn’t help, ensure you’re connected to the region closest to you. Check the list below for city locations of servers:
Asia- Singapore
Australia- Melbourne
Canada- Montreal
Europe- Amsterdam
India- Chennai
Japan-Tokyo
South America- Sao Paulo
South Korea- Seoul
USA, East- Washington
USA, West- San José
If there’s still an issue, try making a recording and sending it to us (as a youtube link(can be private) or similar) along with stats about your computer’s hardware to contact@twinvaultgames.com
Q: I’ve found a bug, what do I do?
A: Email it to us! Screenshots are very helpful as well as much info/description about the bug as possible, email it to contact@twinvaultgames.com
Q: My Game crashed/keeps crashing
A: This one can be tricky, look for a log file in your Steam\steamapps\common\Omega Extinction file path and send that through to us at contact@twinvaultgames.com with a description of what you were doing when the crash happened. A reinstall may be a solution if you’re stuck waiting for a reply.
Q: I have an idea/suggestion for Omega Extinction
A: We’re always open to ideas and suggestions, so feel free to email it to us at contact@twinvaultgames.com
Q: Where is your social media pages/ Where can I find the latest updates?
A: Both are solved in this answer! You can find us on twitter @TwinVaultGames and on facebook.com/twinvaultgames. You can find the latest info and posts there, or in this steam community group!
We're on Steam!
Omega Extinction is a 5-Player Asymmetrical multiplayer shooter, where 4 people team up as the "humans" to survive the onslaught of the other player "The Experiment".
The Experiment has many powers and abilities to aid him in killing the humans, including bridging (allows you to see humans through walls and go invisible) as well as disguising (transforms you into a perfect replica of a human).
The Humans use technology and equipment to their advantage, such as the psyshield (blocks the experiment's bridge vision and removes a disguise if he enters it), Door Jammer (temporarily seals a door shut), Spotter (highlights a visible OR invisible experiment for all to see), Mine (explodes when an experiment is near it or if it's shot) and Deployable Shield (deploys an impassable shield that stays until it is destroyed).
Once dead, humans also can take control of the cameras to look for and highlight the experiment.
I can't wait to release Omega Extinction and hear all of your thoughts and feedback!
Thanks for Reading,
Sam
