[h2]Hey Champs![/h2] We've got some bug fixes and handy quality of life improvements for you in this patch for [b]Punch Club 2: Fast Forward[/b], including the option to start a new game at the point you can start the DLC! Here’s what’s new: [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43661948/917f629a68332617d8bf2b06d4ef7b1bdf389001.png[/img] [h3]Main Game Update:[/h3] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43661948/4640da65d8b8e45d0ddb905395f1678b82b668b2.png[/img] There will be a new option when you choose to start a new game - [b]“Skip Beginning”[/b] will skip Silvers League and start you out in the game at the beginning of the Iron Fist DLC. Don’t worry! You’ll be appropriately leveled for the stage of the game, and will be able to customize your fighter's stats and moves etc. with [b]2000GPP to spend as you choose[/b].

All side quests will become unavailable. Are you sure you want to continue?" with options to select [b]Yes[/b] or [b]No[/b].

[/olist] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43661948/481d7f23625ae48625d684475443f0844bb2ecee.png[/img] [b]Loading saves with DLC active after the Final Stage has begun:[/b] If you try to load a save file where the DLC is already started but can't be finished due to the final stage of the game already beginning, you will see a similar window with the same buttons but slightly different text. [h3]Bug Fixes[/h3] [b]We’ve also addressed several issues to improve your gameplay experience:[/b] [list] [*] Shortened the description of "Lock-on Guidance" in German ("Zielhilfe"). [*] Fixed the perk "Self-Repair System" for the Final Boss. [*] Fixed the attack abilities for "Apu Slime Warchief". [*] Fixed the dialogue bubbles bug in the final cut-scene. [*] Fixed the bug with swapping skill sets in custom ladders. [*] Fixed the passive HP restoration bug in custom leagues. [/list] We hope these little improvements make everyone’s lives a little easier! If you find any bugs or issues, please let us know, either through the steam forums or our discord!
