[previewyoutube=ljVNq3x2g_4;full][/previewyoutube] [h1][b]About the demo[/b][/h1] The Metal Slug Tactics demo is a [b]Work In Progress[/b]. As a result, you may encounter [b]a few known issues[/b] that the development team is already investigating and working on. ----- [b][h2]Steam Next Fest Demo - Known Issues[/h2][/b] [h3][b]General[/b][/h3] [list] [*] No controller support in this demo, it will be available for release. [*] No rebinding is possible in this demo, it will be available for release. [*] Some options reset when you return to the Main Menu (e.g. tooltip delays or screen edge panning) [*] Can't zoom in/out, it will be available for release. [*] Minor graphical problems when the game is played in lower graphics quality: strategic map and Boss Art are not centered. [*] A small graphic artifact at the bottom of the screen that looks like a gray square may appear at times. [*] Some UI elements are in the foreground and hide certain menus if they are not closed beforehand: typically, mission tooltips are displayed above the Pause menu or options. [/list] [h3][b]Crash & Blockers[/b][/h3] [list] [*] Rare: crash when loading Boss level. [*] Rare: sometimes validate buttons do not work. [list] [*] [u][b]Workaround:[/b][/u] reboot the game and click Continue. [/list] [/list] [h3][b]Tutorial[/b][/h3] [list] [*] When opening the Pause menu or performing unscripted actions (e.g. pressing a Reset Turn when the game asks for something else), crashes and soft locks may occur. [list] [*] [u][b]Workaround:[/b][/u] Avoid straying from tutorial instructions. If you encounter a soft Lock/crash, going back to the Main Menu and starting a new game will restart the tutorial from the beginning. [/list] [*] Some tutorial panels may hide the pause menu (you can close these panels). [*] Tutorial restarts if you return to Main Menu in the middle of it/after finishing it the first time. [/list] [h3][b]Soldier Select - Barracks - Armory[/b][/h3] [list] [*] If you open the description of an Asset in the Armory and start a run, the description will appear on the screen throughout the run. [list] [*] [u][b]Workaround:[/b][/u] Return Soldier Select when restarting a game, open Armory, Select an Asset, then go to a weapon profile. [/list] [*] If you buy an item in the Barracks/Armory and return to the Main Menu, the purchase is canceled and the money is returned to the player. The game saves only after restarting a run. [/list] [h3][b]In-Game[/b][/h3] [list] [*] It is possible to start a run without any unit selected. [*] [u][b]Workaround:[/b][/u] Return to the main menu and relaunch a run with "Start a new game". [*] It is currently impossible to reread explanatory texts once closed, a codex is planned for release. [*] The objective counter is not reset by pressing "Reset Turn". [*] Victory/defeat screen: The exit button is sometimes inactive/not clickable. [*] [u][b]Workaround:[/b][/u] Restart the game to continue. [*] Switches and cranes still have their "Use" UI then even after use (when they are no longer usable). [*] The "SAVE" IU for prisoners remains displayed after releasing them. [*] Layering and transparency issues at times affect the visibility of characters and enemies. [*] The same applies to preview movements, especially when there are elevation changes or jumps. [*] Loss of FPS when using Grenade Juggle - especially on the second attack. [*] Trampolines remain displayed after a reset but are not functional. [*] Sometimes targets don't have the target over their heads to recognize them. [list] [*] [u][b]Workaround:[/b][/u] Move mouse over Objective to highlight targets [/list] [*] Sync preview missing when targeting an enemy on a wooden box. Sync will still take place normally. [*] On some dual-target attacks, pressing repeatedly on the same target increments an infinite number of damage but never performs the attack. [list] [*] [u][b]Workaround:[/b][/u] cancel the attack and restart by selecting 2 different targets [/list] [/list] [h3][b]Boss fight[/b][/h3] [list] [*] Some performance issues may occur after a few turns.
