ICARUS has had something of a rocky launch, with the servers going down on Day 1, and a myriad of bugs both minor and game-breaking showing up for many users. Fortunately, developer RocketWerkz has been working diligently, releasing multiple hotfixes over the last few days.
The latest hotfix is noteworthy in that it includes a serious increase to the player level cap, from 60 to 99. Whether or not these new levels will grant more Talent points remains to be seen, however. Other changes players will be pleased about include fixes to the Desert Exploration mission, performance improvements for high FOV settings, and a bugfix to the 
Ghillie Armor (a stealth-focused armor set that was actually making players more visible). You can read the full patch notes below.
