Official update history
Greetings Survivors!
Before we left for the winter break, you may have seen us mention that we were looking into a few changes to the Showdown Update that would address some of the feedback we saw from the community after its release. This Hotfix is now available to our players on Steam, and will roll out for console players very soon.
While the changes to Base Defense and the introduction of the new resources tested well with our smaller beta testing group, it's clear that it didn't quite land with the wider playerbase in the way we expected. We saw and listened to your feedback and we are happy to share with you some changes we think will keep this new mechanic interesting while making it more rewarding for all playstyles.
We have significantly increased the amount of resources you receive from Base Defense missions, which we hope makes your crafting (and hoarding) a bit easier to attain. We also saw a lot of requests for ways to obtain them without needing to complete Base Defense missions. We heard you - Rivals and Tyrants can now drop small amounts of these resources. A Rival or Tyrant should drop resources roughly equivalent to half the resources you would get from doing an Easy Base Defense mission. Rivals can drop Refined Aluminum, Refined Tungsten, and Refined Uranium, while Tyrants can drop Phosphorous and Ethanol.
Finally, we also increased the Base Defense structure health. We hope that together these changes make your resource hunting more varied and exciting!
We have also fixed some critical mission progression bugs we discovered after the release, made several crash fixes, and polished numerous other issues and bugs we found through testing and player reporting.
Here is a summary of the hotfix:
Crash / Stability
- General crash fixes and stability improvements.
- Various performance improvements.
Showdown Missions
- Fixed a potential mission blocker in the radio tower for Exclusion Zone.
- General tweaks to Showdown missions breadcrumbing, triggers and timings.
Economy Tweaks
- Base Defense economy changes, more resources should be dropped.
- Base Defense building health has been increased.
Gameplay
- Fixed an issue where some players could not change ammo type after aiming down sight.
- Fixed an issue where experimental weapon drops for Rivals was much lower than intended.
- Fixed an issue where player skill points were not being reset correctly after the last update.
- Fixed an issue which allowed for instant weapon switching.
- Companions will no longer set off or receive damage from Spiked Wall traps in Base Defense.
- Fixed an issue on Steam where Companion Armor in the Companion Station could only be changed using a mouse.
- Fixed a bug where players couldn't use or see the Quality Level 2 N144 Minigun when equipped.
- Recalibrated Portable Homing turrets so they no longer target player structures.
- Fixed an issue with the Scout Firebird to ensure explosive payloads now actually explode.
Other fixes
- Player screens will no longer display unsupported/null characters when joining or leaving the multiplayer
- Fixed an issue where some players were not automatically shown new messages.
- Field radios now work as intended in multiplayer.
- Various animation bug fixes.
- Various environmental clipping fixes

Greetings, Survivors!
We've just released a hotfix for the August 2024 Update.
It contains various crash fixes and solves two display issues relating to the Companion.
We've also read several reports that players are once again unable to remove the Companion from their storage box. It turns out the fix for this issue was accidentally reversed in the last update, so we've re-reversed it. Thanks for reporting. Enjoy!
Stay tuned for more!

Just now, we released a second hotfix for the Skyfire Update.
In this one, we're removing an instance where players were able to see placeholder text in the base defense turret interface, as well as fixing the bug where players would have augmentations removed from their weapons.
Thanks for reporting these issues to us so we could fix them as fast as possible!
Cheers,

Greetings, Survivors!
After we released the Hotfix aimed at fixing crash issues, it came to our attention that we had inadvertently created a new one for a specific subset of Steam players.
The crash would occur either as soon as the player pressed "Continue" or shortly after loading into the world.
Today, we're releasing another Hotfix that relieves the affected players from that bug. Thank you for your patience while we worked on this!
Enjoy!

Greetings, Survivors!
Today, we have an exciting Hotfix for you. We’ve seen an influx of reports of “random crashes” during gameplay. Well, we’ve dedicated one of our amazing programmers, Georgios, to look at the most prevalent ones. This patch is a culmination of his efforts to improve game stability and performance.
This Hotfix contains crash fixes related to:
Furthermore, we fixed consistently appearing crashes during normal gameplay on Xbox and PS4.
As a cherry on top of the mound of squashed bugs, we removed a bug where players couldn’t interact with the respawn map if they died while their pause menu was open.
If you were experiencing frequent and “random” crashes in GZ during the last couple of updates, we highly encourage you to check back in now!
Please let us know about any persisting crash issues and if possible, include reproduction steps and / or videos and screenshots if you can. It will help us weed out more crashes in the future.
We are dedicated to making Generation Zero a smooth experience for everyone, no matter what platform you’re playing on.
The next step in this plan will be the 60FPS patch for PS5, which is in the pipeline and we’ll have more information about what happens afterwards very soon. Stay tuned on our social media channels and our Discord server!
Until then,
