1. Update 9 for Creature Lab - a giant set of fixes + a new "rocky" limb
  2. Hi, experts in bringing mad ideas to life!
  3.  
  4. We know there's been a bit of pause in our patching efforts, but that's due to simultaneously working on some bigger updates promised in our roadmap - more info soon. Nevertheless, we didn't intend to leave you for long without a slew of new fixes... and oh boy, we are bringing a lot of them today!
  5.  
  6. First and foremost, we continue the tradition of bringing you new limbs for more fun mutant combinations. Today you get the Stone Arm, which is kind of sturdy, to say the least. That's why it gives your creature a solid boost to vitality. After all, it's hard to hurt something that can put up a rock-hard block with its arms. As usual, the new limb is unlocked with story progression, and if you passed the point of unlocking, you will already find it in your incubator menu.

  8. As for the fixes, we have brought solutions for some outstanding issues. We have repaired a memory leak that caused the map to freeze at the end of the missions for players that have already put some hours into the game and had a very active map. We have also worked with the system that manages the display of vessels to take off the load for players that have accumulated a lot of them, which caused significantly slower loading times. We have also sorted out a lot of pesky minor issues, especially in the Dark Web, that used to confuse players.

  10. We hope that our efforts will make you experience with Creature Lab even better!

  16. We also want to send special thanks to all the people whose feedback is helping us to combat the most persistent issues in the game. Especially those community members that send us their DxDiag files, save files, and other data that help us directly in locating and reproducing the issues. Big kudos!

  48. For the map freeze issue, we are still seeking videos of the issue happening, so if you have such a video or would be able to make one, we would be grateful if you sent it our way at marek@imagepower.pl, on the Steam forum, or via our Discord. We also would be grateful for the DxDiag.txt file to check if the configurations have a part in generating the issue.

  50. If you are experiencing the issue with a black screen appearing after the Image Power logo and not loading the game further, please check if your configuration meets the minimum requirements as described on the Steam store page. If it meets the requirements, we kindly ask you to send your DxDiag.txt file to marek@imagepower.pl, on the Steam forum, or via our Discord, to analyze your configuration.
