Hacknet Patch 2 released.

"Hacknet patch 2 just rolled out, with a lot of fixes for issues that have come up.


Fixed "John Boorman" save file issue (and most save file loading errors)

Fixed many issues that were causing people to lose save files. Note: This is a big one, and is caused by the Steam API (and subsequently the cloud save API) failing to load on startup. I've made a lot of changes to make this more stable, and I've also added in local backups for everything. There may still be some problems, and I've never encountered this, or been able to test it locally (which is probably why it was left in in the first place), but i'll be keeping a close eye on the forums to make sure this is dealt with as soon as possible if it's still around.

Made the active mission canceling system much more clear with CSEC. Players were never intended to pick up contracts during the endgame sequence, or accept multiple contracts at once. The new UI makes this much more obvious. A more robust fix, supporting multiple contracts, will hopefully come in a later update.

Fixed issues causing strange (Broken) pointclicker behavior for some users

Fixed issues with "scp" command not correctly downloading files to specified directories and filenames in some cases

Fixed being able to use the netmap while the os hasn't finished loading

Fixed several issues with... specific medical firmware.

Fixed some issues with FTPBounce.exe visuals - visual upgrade still to come.

Fixed a bug that was preventing player from getting the "Rude" achievement.


That's all for tonight. More fixes and additions very soon - getting everyone up and running smoothly is my top priority.

I know there's still a lot of people getting crashes on startup. I haven't found a graphics card yet that reproduces this for me, but i'm working with some people to track down the issue. It only happens on some systems.

If you're still having problems with this, try the steps in the pinned forum thread about the issue. If that doesn't help, rest assured that I'm working on it, and fixes are on the way.

Thanks for all the support, -Matt 1 "
