| Fallen Aces Episode 2 | Hotfix 2 (The Deck Fixes!!!) | 2026-07-29 | Deck users, Linux fans, and integrated graphics havers rejoice! We've identified and fixed a shader compatibility issue that was causing rendering bugs on integrated graphics and Linux/Steam Deck. Players who encountered invisible textures or broken lighting should no longer experience these issues. We’re also working on additional optimizations to get VRAM usage down and improve performance. If you’re still encountering loading issues or poor framerates, please try lowering the graphics settings! Specifically the texture quality. If you encounter any bugs, please report them on the Steam forums! We are aiming to have another hotfix out early |
