Hello, Survivors! 👋

The long-awaited moment has arrived — we’re excited to present a fresh update packed with exciting new content!

Storyline. Meet new story characters: Colonel Zhmykhin, Senior Engineer Myakishin, and Head of the Research Department Trubchikova.

New Vehicle: ZIL-130A. This isn’t just a truck, it’s a mobile fortress capable of withstanding (almost) any collision. We’re sure this beast will leave no classic Soviet vehicle fan indifferent.

Hello, survivors!

It's time to arm your vehicles because we've prepared a major patch that significantly changes your experience in Ashes of the Union! We aimed to enhance the game by adding day and night cycles, a third-person view, and many other visual improvements!


Day and Night Cycle
When you head out for a ride, you can enjoy sunrises, watch sunsets, and even get lost in the dark night. But be careful—night hides more dangers than it seems!

Headlights
We've added headlights and taillights—turn them on using "L" so you don’t get lost in the dark or crash into a building that suddenly appears in your path! On controllers, the headlights turn on automatically as night creeps up on you.

Third-Person Camera
The new camera lets you dive deeper into the world, viewing everything from various angles. Now you can admire your vehicle in action and enjoy the atmosphere of the surrounding environment!

Improved appearance of toxic clouds
The thick, enveloping, eerie, and, of course, very dangerous toxic clouds will now stalk you in the most inconvenient places. With this update, they look even more airy and transparent.

Mud Under Tires
Why isn’t your car returning to the garage? Because nobody wants to clean the mud off the tires! Haha, just kidding! But now the game features actual mud that flies out from under your tires on rough terrain.

Tutorial
For new players (and perhaps seasoned ones), we’ve revamped the tutorial at the start of the game to help better grasp the basics and make the immersion more comfortable.

Loot Display
Loot now looks so appealing that you definitely won’t want to miss it!


Sounds

• Car sounds have been adjusted. Now your vehicles sound so good that even the neighbors will be jealous!

Optimization

• Improved vehicle respawn functionality. Your car will return to the road faster than you can finish your coffee!

• Grass has followed the bugs’ lead and has also been optimized.

Interface

• The racing interface has been updated for improved usability.
  
• Markers have been added in the garage tabs when there are updates.
  
• Star icons next to data in the development menu have been removed since they were not working.

Text

• Added character lines in quests. Now heroes literally talk to you!
  
• Localization errors have been fixed.

Balance

• Difficulty levels have been added for those who love challenges or just want a casual ride.
  
• Now only 4-5 quests will be displayed at a time.
  
• Recoil for the 94-KM has been reduced.
  
• The amount of experience required to level up has been decreased.
  
• Temporary speed rotation and reload upgrades have been removed.
  
• The duration of temporary armor and engine boost upgrades has been increased.
  
• The bonus from maximum speed upgrades has been decreased.
  
• The bonus from suspension upgrades has been increased.

Map

• Custom markers are now unlocked by the “Radar” technology.

Fixes

• Fixed a bug with joystick controls dropping upon loading.
  
• Fixed an issue where antennas could be used after death.
  
• Fixed the workshop. The “Auto-fill” option now takes lower-quality items, even if there are not five.
  
• Fixed a bug where car parts wouldn't detach.
  
• Fixed monster spawn distance. They will no longer appear out of nowhere—like bad jokes (though we can't promise that).
  
• Octorun will no longer twitch after death.
  
• Fixed the retreat bug for the Corpse Eater. Now it won't run away like someone who forgot to turn off the iron!
  
• Fixed the infinite spawner. No more infinite problems!
  
• Fixed a bug with tire tracks appearing all over the field upon vehicle respawn.
  
• Decreased boss detection distance (music and HP bar). They won't appear from a mile away anymore.
  
• The auto-spawner cannot be activated while the vehicle is in motion.

We hope the update goes as smoothly as a slick road in the fog! But if something goes wrong, we will release all necessary fixes. We look forward to your feedback :)

To celebrate the new patch release, we have an exciting offer for you. If you’ve been dreaming of purchasing the game, now is the perfect time to act! Don’t miss your chance to buy Ashes of the Union with a 40% discount — your adventure awaits!

Hello, Survivors! 👋

The fifth patch is here, and it brings a wealth of new features that will make your time in the game even more exciting!


Added a quest system. Our new quest system is ready for launch! Now you can do more than just roam the vastness—you can complete engaging tasks that will help you level up your skills and earn coveted rewards!

Added 10 new quests. Each task immerses you in a unique story! Help Soviet engineers find Lavender to save the homeland, or provide fire support to a reconnaissance group in danger. These quests will not only test your skills but also make you a true hero!

Added a world map. Meet your new friend—the world map! While it remains shrouded in the fog of uncertainty, armed with an antenna, you can unveil many unexplored places. Now you’ll always know where to go for new adventures and unexpected finds!

Added a workshop. Create wonders in this new space! Now, useless junk can be sent for recycling to engineers who will try to create something new. It could be SPARK-1 or just transmission oil. But it’s worth the risk—you might get lucky!

New research trees added: Cartography and Workshop. Access to the map and workshop is unlocked through new tabs in developments. Gather the necessary data, and you’ll soon be able to use all their capabilities!


Optimization

• Fixed stutters at the start of races. Now you can race without getting stuck at the start, just like a hungry Corpse Eater is chasing you!

Texts

• Changed item parameter generation logic. Higher-quality items will more often generate with better main stats.
  
• Decreased radius of antenna functionality. Now, when activated, you won’t see all points of interest on the map at once. Yes, you’ll have to explore the world instead of just staring at the map.
  
• Reassembled the Ural. Transmission changed, horsepower added. Now it feels brand new! Or at least like an old one, but in good condition.

Map

• Added miasmas to swamps. Unforgettable aromas will now be part of your journey!

Fixes

• Removed invisible wall in the swamps. You won’t encounter invisible walls anymore… only visible ones!

Don’t forget to share your impressions and ideas—your feedback is truly important to us! Thank you for helping us get better! ❤️

Hello, survivors! 👋

We've released a fresh hotfix that fixes some nasty bugs and added some interesting stuff:

Content:

• The appearance of the "Bukhanka" has been updated: added armor plates. Now it’s a real armored bun!
  
• Added moving parts to several vehicles: UAZ, Ural, T-40, and Bukhanka. The "figure eight" wheel on the tractor is just a sign that your journey will definitely be unforgettable!
  
• The PKT size has been adjusted to be more realistic (but not too much).

Sounds:

• New music added for the hideout. Enjoy it at all spawn points!

Interface:

• Social media links added to the main screen. Finding us is now easier than finding a screw that rolled under the tool cabinet.
  
• Added a health bar for the hideout. The number of bars keeps increasing!
  
• Fixed the issue with gear hints that were previously showing through the stats window. No more ghostly gear hints!

Balance:

• Ural’s suspension has been fixed and the transmission parameters slightly adjusted.
  
• ZIL 4906 received transmission updates (now it drives more smoothly). Get ready for comfortable rides!
  
• UAZ 31’s suspension has been stiffened, reducing body sway over uneven terrain.
  
• Adjusted traction parameters: the road now responds more accurately to traction, and mud has become slipperier, increasing the chance of skidding on turns.

Fixes:

• The Lavender Cloud no longer obscures item icons. Everything is now in view!
  
• Fixed ambient sound disappearing issues.
  
• Fixed a bug where the inventory panel in the garage sometimes failed to open when clicking on a slot. It wasn’t because you weren’t clicking hard enough.
  
• Fixed a bug where antennas sometimes pointed in the wrong direction. Geographers have acknowledged their mistake and corrected the issue.
  
• Fixed a bug where Ural’s all-wheel drive and differential lock were not functioning. Now it’s not only powerful but also honest.

We hope that it will become more enjoyable to play. If we missed anything, let us know! 😉
