The subsequent Monday update will focus on balancing and bug fixing including: The team are currently working on implementing a tutorial which hopefully will be ready for next Monday's update. The team would like to point out that fixes will disrupt the balancing of the game but they intend to take a much closer look after next week's major update.
For instance, if you play as the police and set the difficulty to challenging you will find that in the first level of the Indignados campaign it will be nearly impossible to push away the crowd. Police now remain controllable when they are attacking (previously, when hitting the crowd, they became uncontrollable).The team has spent the weekend testing these fixes but are quick to point out that they do have an impact on the level balancing.
Police now enter a state of panic correctly (previously they only became panicked when being burnt by a Molotov). This will remove pauses and stuttering gameplay as the system won't stop to open & write the log file.
