We’ve rolled out an update to Sponsored Dire Marsh's Crew Fill: if you’ve got your mic on we’ll now do our best to match you with other players using voice chat too. If you're in the mood to chat, we want to make sure you're able to coordinate with like-minded Runners. Let us know how it’s going!

From Marathon's Game Director, Joe Ziegler: "We're looking at trying out some adjustments to pacing on Dire Marsh that we want to test through the experimental queue. (paragraph cont'd in next post) (1/5)

In Update 1.0.6, we made a loot adjustment to the Security Clearance 5 room after the Compiler fight that didn’t make it into the patch notes - the change was: (1/3)

[#MarathonGame] Maintenance: Update 1.0.6.1 🚀Marathon Login is being brought back online and will be available momentarily. REMAINING TIMELINE 🔚Maintenance End: ~9 AM PDT (-7 UTC)

From Marathon's Game Director, Joe Ziegler: "UPDATE: WTF WSTRs We're gonna take a shot at bringing the WSTR more in line. Right now it's become a dominant option and is eclipsing a lot of the other short range options that exist in the game. (1/5)

We are aware of an issue in Cryo Archive where players performing a scan are unable to see the expected number of batteries, depending on what terminal they initially scan. This will be fixed in a future update.

Some missed additions for our 1.0.6. patch notes: ➡️ Refreshed icons for cores, implants, and chips to add visual clarity ➡️ Signal Jammers are now purchasable from the Armory ➡️ Added “toggle to open” voice option, players can turn Proximity Chat/Team Chat open with one press and close it with another

With the daily Armory refresh this issue appears to be resolved. If you're still having issues accessing the C.A.R.R.I. armory, please let us know: help.marathonthegame.com/hc/en-us/com...

We're aware of and investigating an issue causing the CyberAcme and C.A.R.R.I Armory to not show all purchasable items properly.

Marathon's mid-season 1 update is live now! youtu.be/D0aXzq9fiaQ

From Marathon's Game Director, Joe Ziegler: "UPDATE: FREE KIT FRENZY - EXPERIMENTAL QUEUE - DIRE MARSH SPONSORED Thank you to all of you who participated in the Duos Experiments we've had over the past few weeks. (1/13)

We've re-enabled the gear refund feature. We’ll continue to monitor the situation, and if we make any further changes we’ll share them here - so keep an eye on this space for updates.

We are making some experimental changes to our network configuration to reduce the rate of errors experienced in-game. These changes will go live today from 3PM PT to 8PM PT and will affect players in Central and Northern Europe.

From Marathon's Game Director, Joe Ziegler: "Our experiment is almost complete with the duos queue and we've gathered a lot of valuable information to help us finalize our plans for duos for Season 2. (1/5)

We’ve seen the conversation about cheaters, toxicity, and competitive integrity in Marathon, so here’s a quick update from our Product Security team. (1/9)

We have temporarily disabled the gear refund feature while we investigate an issue. We will monitor the situation and make further changes as needed.

Due to an issue with the M77 Prestige mod Interval Mag that allows it to affect other equipped weapons, we are temporarily disabling the Interval Link perk on the mod.

From Marathon's Game Director, Joe Ziegler: "Biotoxic Disinjector. It’s Strong! … too strong. Tonight at 6PM PT we will be doing a change on live taking it down a notch and nerfing its damage. (1/3)

As part of our mid-season update planned for April 14, we've got some notable changes and updates on the way. But by popular demand we wanted to share just a few early - specifically, a preview of some of the Recon changes that are incoming. (1/5)

From Marathon's Game Director, Joe Ziegler: "BALANCE SHAKE UP! We're looking to make changes in the next couple of patches to adjust some of the outliers in the combat space that we've both seen in our observations and heard from feedback across all the various (and plentiful) places we watch. (1/6)

We’ve seen a lot of feedback around console sensitivity - both how fast you can swing the camera and how snappy the cursor feels in menus. (1/3)

We have seen reports about unexpectedly loud footstep and landing sounds when players are trying to move quietly. We’ve tracked down the cause and have a fix coming in our mid-season update that should make sneaking and soft landings sound as expected. (1/2)

From Marathon's Game Director, Joe Ziegler: "DUOS UPDATE: A CANDLE LIT DINNER ON OUTPOST We're learning a lot as we go through our duos experiment and so we're moving on to outpost to see how runner pairs do when getting drenched by molten rain! (1/5)

We're officially in our second week with the experimental duo queue - moving from Perimeter into the wilds of Dire Marsh. How have you been enjoying it so far? What feedback have you got for us? We want to hear!

We’ve heard your feedback that having Ranked and Cryo Archive overlap can make it difficult to decide where to spend your time and hard-earned loot. Based on that, we’re updating their schedules so each has a clear, focused window. (1/4)

From Marathon's Game Director, Joe Ziegler: "MARSH MADNESS UPDATE: MARATHON DUOS QUEUE - The experiment continues! Thank you to everyone who's been helping us test the duo queue. (1/7)

From Marathon's Game Director, Joe Ziegler: "We have a lot of convos around the game going right now, but one thing we've aligned on and will be doing for the next Cryo window is making Subroutines a 100% drop from each vault. Thanks for the feedback we'll keep hammering on more updates."

We have deployed an update to matchmaking that should help players in more isolated geographic regions find games more easily. We will continue monitoring the right balance between fast matchmaking times and low-latency matches. Please keep the feedback coming!

We have seen some reports asking if the final exfil in Cryo Archive is not working because it does not show on the overhead map. (1/3)

We have fixed an issue causing Anteater errors near the end of Cryo Archive runs, force-ending them a few seconds early and refunding surviving Runners' gear. This was a server-side fix, no need to restart the game client. Good luck in the Marathon's frozen halls. No more free passes. ❄️

We identified and fixed an issue where runners could equip larger-than-expected stacks of equipment (grenades, ammo boxes, etc.). This has been resolved with a server-side fix.

We are aware of exploits allowing Runners to cancel slides to gain boosts of speed. To maintain competitive integrity and keep the combat sandbox balanced we will be fixing these exploits in a future patch. Pardon our dust!

We just updated the 1.0.5 Patch Notes with a couple items that got missed. ➡️Fixed an issue where Runner Connections were not showing properly when scrolling if players had a large number of friends. Opportunist ➡️Added a 3.5 second cooldown to the perk activation.

Cryo Archive is now patched into the game but is inaccessible while the community finishes unlocking it. When the time comes, the requirements are: ➡️Runner Level 25 ➡️All six factions unlocked (liaison contracts completed) ➡️Loadout value of 5,000 credits per run

We have fixed an issue where Rooks were able to load into a run and immediately exit, and they would still receive a bonus sum of credits. This is a server-side fix and does not require you to restart your client. You're going to have to try harder than that, Rooks.

Next week, we are planning to make a change to free up a little more space in your Vault. We've seen the feedback on some stack sizes not feeling large enough and will be making the following change: ➡️ Consumables, Ammo, Salvage, and Grenades will now have larger stack sizes in the Vault.

We have seen reports from some players wanting more performance out of their high-end PC setups. For launch, our team prioritized performance for low- and mid-spec PCs to ensure as many people as possible are able to play. But we also want performance to feel amazing on high-end hardware.

We've seen your feedback about the increased range at which you can hear other players in combat and are closely monitoring how it affects your runs. (cont'd)

From Marathon's Game Director, Joe Ziegler: "Shout out to everyone for giving us active feedback on the patch notes and changes! Re: the audio broadcast distance change, we originally wanted to give everyone more info in the map and make it easier to make choices around audio: (cont'd)

Marathon Update 1.0.0.4 is live!

When you spend in Marathon we want you to get great value - whether that's the game, the deluxe edition, the Rewards Pass, or the in-game store. We've heard your feedback on the Rewards Pass, so this season we're making the following improvements:

We have identified an issue where the Twitch Sponsored Kit acquired from a Twitch Drop can be inadvertently deleted if a player's vault is completely full, instead of into the overflow. Make sure that you have room in your vault before claiming the Twitch Sponsored Kit from your in-game mailbox.

We are currently investigating a bug where a dummy item is being created for the Premium Reward Pass Voucher. This item is not necessary to claim your rewards and can be safely sold or discarded. Nothing happens if you give it to someone else.

We have deployed a server-side update to fix an issue on Outpost where Thief Runners could bypass the Pinwheel challenge. No client update is required.

Thank you for joining us for the first few days here on Tau Ceti! Thanks to your reports and feedback, we've been able to get some fixes out the door - and we're preparing a patch for next week.

The Outpost zone is now live - enjoy your first steps into a thriving UESC installation! Bring an umbrella. 🔥☂️🔥

We have resolved the issue preventing Steam players from acquiring their Deluxe Edition items. Please restart the Marathon game client and your items will automatically be available in the Customization menu.
