Patch Notes

Changelog

Every SecuSpark release. What shipped, what improved, what you asked for.

v2.1.2July 30, 2026

Flashcard review fix — your session stays put

A player wrote in about reviews that would open, show a card for a second or two, then dump them back on the “All caught up!” screen. We found it: a background sync could mark today's goal as met and end the session out from under you. Fixed — a review you've started now runs until you finish it.

Reliability

FixedStarting a review could flash your first card, then boot you to “All caught up!” before you answered anything. It happened when a cloud restore or a second open tab finished your daily goal mid-session. A started review now keeps its cards no matter what happens in the background.
FixedFinishing Today's Drill jumped straight to “All caught up!” and skipped your session recap. The Session Complete screen — cards reviewed, how many you rated Good or better — now actually shows.

You said, we did

Real player feedback and what happened to it. Yours can be next — there's a "Give feedback" button in your account menu.

““Flashcard review will at times simply not work… I will click on a flash card or begin the review, it pops up for a second or two, then boots me back to the start screen.””
ShippedThat one report led us straight to the bug — a background sync could end a running session. Your review now stays on screen until you're done.

v2.1.1July 26, 2026

Campaign loading fix — no more endless skeleton

A player report led us to a bug where the Campaign page could load forever for some accounts. That's fixed — and every loading screen in the battle flow now tells you when something went wrong and gives you a Retry button instead of spinning silently.

Reliability

FixedSome accounts (including paying members) were stuck on an endless loading skeleton on the Campaign page because their character profile was never created at signup. Affected accounts are repaired, and the app now heals a missing profile automatically.
FixedPremium members could briefly see the upgrade prompt when a background check failed — the app no longer assumes 'free' on a failed check.
FixedIf the question-bank download for a battle fails (spotty connection, storage limits), you now get a clear error and a Retry button instead of an endless 'Preparing your battle…' spinner.
ImprovedQuestion-bank syncing is more resilient in private browsing and on flaky connections, and failed syncs retry sooner.

You said, we did

Real player feedback and what happened to it. Yours can be next — there's a "Give feedback" button in your account menu.

““The Campaign page never renders — it stays a loading skeleton indefinitely. Please add an explicit timeout and error state, including which stage failed and a retry button.””
ShippedExactly that: the Campaign and battle loading screens now surface what failed with a Retry button, and the underlying account bug is fixed for everyone it affected.

v2.1The OracleJuly 16, 2026

The Exam Readiness Predictor — coming soon

The question every cert student actually has — am I ready to book? — is about to get a real answer. Coming soon: the Oracle will weigh your record by the official exam-domain weights, show you an honest score range, and summon you the moment you meet her published Exam-Ready rule.

The Oracle's Chamber (/readiness)

NewFour evidence pillars — Coverage, Mastery, Trials, Retention — each with a 'show the math' expander. The formula is published, not hidden.
NewAn honest score RANGE against your cert's real pass line (750 for Security+, 675 for A+ Core 1, 720 for Network+…) — never a fake-precise point score.
NewThe Trial of Fire — Exam-Ready must be earned: your last two full practice exams at 85%+, across two domains, within 45 days.
NewSet your exam date and the Oracle tracks your trajectory — on pace or behind — and projects how much you'll have forgotten by exam day.
NewThe Summons — the moment your verdict flips to Exam-Ready, she tells you. Book with confidence, not anxiety.
ImprovedThe stats-page readiness ring will use official domain weights and your cert's own pass line (it was Security+-flavored for everyone before).

v2.0The Arena UpdateJuly 6, 2026

SecuSpark became a multiplayer RPG

The biggest release in SecuSpark history. Three weeks ago this was a study app with a battle mode — now every real exam question you answer is a hit on a pixel boss, a live duel against a real opponent, or a rep in a daily drill built to get you exam-ready.

PvP Live Arena — duel a real human, live

NewReal-time 1v1 — two players, the same exam questions, simultaneously. The faster correct answer hits harder.
NewRanked ELO — a rating that reflects how well you actually know the material.
NewLive invites — challenge a friend or a stranger and see who's online.
ImprovedServer-verified scoring and anti-cheat hardening — a leaderboard you can trust.

Feature Duels — you pick what ships next

NewVote on head-to-head feature match-ups — two takes on the same idea, side by side. One tap picks your winner.
NewYour vote pays out on the spot — energy, or bonus premium time if you're a member.
NewResults are public and we ship the winner — the roadmap is yours to steer.

Five certification paths

NewPenTest+ (PT0-003) is live — 552 questions and 24 hand-drawn offensive-security bosses, joining Security+, A+, Network+, and CySA+. That's 7,500+ practice questions across 7 certs, no prerequisites.
ImprovedEvery cert path is now judged against its own real pass line — Security+, A+, Network+, CySA+, and PenTest+ each speak their own exam's language before you book the $439 exam.

Flashcards, rebuilt

NewToday's Drill — a daily study plan built on FSRS spaced repetition. Finish in 15 minutes, not 4 hours.
NewThe battle generates your flashcards — wrong answers become tomorrow's review deck automatically, with a smart throttle so you're never buried.
ImprovedAn overdue drain so a backlog never becomes a guilt pile.

A hand-built redesign

ImprovedEvery authenticated screen rebuilt by hand into a warm, hearth-lit look — wood, parchment, carved relief. Each cert tints its world its own color.
ImprovedA new three-font system — an RPG display face for the big moments, a clean sans for everything you read, a dedicated mono for numbers.
NewA playable homepage — fight an exam question before you sign up.

Faster, smoother, more honest

ImprovedPerformance and accessibility pass — faster loads, reduced-motion support, screen-reader headings across authed surfaces.
ImprovedSharper battles — enemy HP in the HUD, a Flee button that keeps the damage you already dealt, clearer results.
FixedA production hydration bug and corrected sprite facings across the bestiary.
