Hotfix 2.44.2 adds an escalation limit, memory and performance optimizations, and fixes forest map tile overlap.
- Maximum EscalationcustomDifficulty—→50/75/100/150/200/300 (default 100)
Added a new Maximum Escalation custom difficulty setting with a default of 100 and adjustable values to tailor game difficulty and escalation rate.
- Maximum EscalationescalationBenchmark—→60 → 60
60 escalation benchmark remains; indicates performance baseline used for escalation limiter.
- Memory optimizationsmemoryUsage—→Reduced on constrained devices
Introduced memory optimizations to improve stability on devices with limited RAM, with larger maps benefiting the most.
- Mission performance improvementsframeTime—→Improved during missions ms
Added general performance optimizations to improve frame times during missions, especially on maps with many enemies.
