Hi everyone, The password is - "noclickisn00b" for December 2025 branch.
Here’s a rundown of what’s new
Workshop Support (IMGUI)
Workshop support using IMGUI is coming soon beta version is included.
Right now it is integrated into the menu system for dec 2025 patreon client.
It is tested to the point where items correctly copy into the Hard-Life root directory.
I will be releasing an example workshop item soon to show exactly how this system works.
Important Fix: hard_1a0e
Fixed an issue in hard_1a0e related to the post–resonance cascade save system.
This fix was important and affected progression.
Apologies to noclick for enduring that battle on YouTube.
IMGUI Multiplayer Fix
IMGUI now disables immediately when joining a server.
This should fully resolve issues when joining friends’ games.
Patreon Xen Crystals
Patreon members who submitted their SteamID or Steam Community link will see blue Xen crystals.
In multiplayer:
Donor kills drop a blue crystal with a 3x multiplier.
Purple crystals for larger enemies are planned for the next release.
sv_routesystem (Experimental)
sv_routesystem is now available in experimental mode for Harder / Hardest difficulties.
It generates AI routes and saves them to:
maps/routes/*.route
Multiplayer Changelevel Improvement
When changing levels in multiplayer, players now have a better chance of becoming pushable.
This uses a new system based on basic tracelines to the trigger for visibility.
Scientist Crash Bug Fixed
Fixed the sitting scientist crash.
Cause: scientists flagged as “dead” were still trying to talk to each other.
This is now fully resolved.
Multiplayer Physics
There should be better Z-fighting physics in multiplayer.
Please report any serious or consistent problem areas if you notice them.
Barney Victory Dance
Barney’s victory dance has been adjusted.
Tested three separate times.
It should now be working correctly.
Thanks again for the continued support.
More updates soon.
