Totally Accurate Battle Simulator Patch Notes

Hello wobblers! Here’s a patch fixing some of the issues with the workshop units as well as giving the ice giant and minotaur back their clothes! Patch Notes: Removed the workshop refresh button binding option in the settings. This prevents a possible workshop refresh bug when trying to access the workshop. Fixed the Minotaur shoulder pad and the missing ice giant belt. Right Banshee upper arm bands can now be coloured in the unit creator. We also Improved the unsupported props messaging in game to make it clearer which units are causing the problems: Factions that contain unsupported units can now be added to the faction bar. However, when attempting to place an unsupported unit a new error message will show explaining how to fix the unsupported unit. Alternatively, you can disable the unsupported unit safety checks in the Gameplay settings menu using the Validate Custom Content setting. Certain mods were causing a "file linked expired" error message to appear. Several reported mods have been fixed but if you experience this with any other mods please do report these to us :) The following mods should now be fixed: https://mod.io/g/tabs/m/us-marine-bazooka1 https://mod.io/g/tabs/m/swat-and-zombies1 https://mod.io/g/tabs/m/us-pistol-marine https://mod.io/g/tabs/m/us-army294 Please remember to restart Steam and verify the integrity of the game files to get the right update. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/26085258/eb96c3e275c8ae241f0b61ee9edc822298727a83.png

Hello everyone! As promised, here's a bug patch and quality-of-life update for TABS! TABS just turned 8 years old earlier this month, it's wild to think that so many of you have been following this game for that long. We're eternally grateful to you all for playing, providing feedback and suggestions to make the game better and we're excited to keep seeing what you create and share! As we announced back in 2022 we will no longer be adding more content to the game after the small neon update earlier this year. This Quality of Life Patch is most likely also the last major bug patch to be released for the game. You can read the 2022 post explaining why here {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/26085258/fd31d50d490c3c6d9e3d1dd3b64236c9ab270ea4.png Additions: Added a refresh button and pop-up in the workshop to delete and refresh subscribed mods. Added the ability to change campaign levels with custom maps. Added a search bar to find battles in custom campaigns. Added a feature to reset all campaign and secret unit progress. Added a button to exit the unit test. Added an explanation of traditional vs radial controls on PC. Fixes: Fixed motion blur always being on in Pirate and Renaissance maps. Fixed issue with some workshop content always getting the "failed to subscribe/download" error. Fixed broken textures on the church in the Main Menu Legacy map. Fixed Spooky faction units displaying in the incorrect order. Fixed Plasma Shot’s projectile objects making large explosions when hitting certain units. Fixed map creator template images which were displayed as white squares. Fixed the middle ability button from becoming too large or small. Fixed the buttons on the Miner unit’s pants. Fixed an audio issue with Harpoon projectiles. Fixed the rotation of the Shattering Sharpness 3 sword. Fixed the Tempest Lich’s targeting range. Fixed missing filter tags in Workshop search filters. Fixed an issue with healed units not taking damage from Tesla shots. Fixed an issue with the Tesla and Stasis neon projectiles' damage values not scaling with the damage multiplier. Fixed an issue where the battle selection screen did not reopen when re-entering the campaign creator. Fixed the floating grass in the Ancient Main Menu map. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/26085258/73c4e67419e4a0051936ce0094a18bec8ee18551.png For those of you who missed it, we released a new game in April called Content Warning where you film your friends doing scary things to become SpöökTube famous!
