20th Anniversary Edition
In celebration of 20 years of DEFCON
Bug Fixes The renderer fallback now also covers the window being recreated, such as a resolution or renderer change, rather than only Defcon starting up. HDR for Metal (MacOS) and Vulkan (Windows, Linux) no longer creates corrupted and garbled screenshots.
1.70.2 Bug Fixes Fixed a crash on startup, and when pressing Apply in the Mods window, caused by mods whose gameoptions.txt leaves a blank line where a text settings default value belongs. Fixed a crash on startup for anyone with extracted main.
New graphics engines (DirectX, Metal and Vulkan) and sound subsystem (FAudio), hundreds of performance enhancements and bug fixes.
