Nexus Defenders Update! Hot fix was pushed out today to address the level unlock glitch that’s been a mystery since the launch.

Level Unlock

I wanted to get this fix out immediately after I found the cause of the level unlock bug. Many players were having trouble unlocking the levels on the level select screen, due to the save system not registering what level they were on. This should be fixed!

Skip Story

Aside from that, I added a “Skip Story” button for the story segments, Press the ESK key to bring up the pause menu during the story segments and you can now skip to the next level.

Performance

I did some performance optimization to help improve performance for lower performance builds.

Balance

I’ve made balance changes to both the boss fights.

Check out the Change Log below for details on all the changes.

• Added selector arrows for resolution
• Slight reduction of Deathbringer’s HP from 40000 to 32000
