StarCrawlers v1.1.3.2 Happy Lunar New Year! Rojo the Lucky has appeared on STIX (and will no longer pelt you with infinite Lunar Coins). Base Game Changes Added inventory Sort button to Loadout, Stash, and Merchant menus - sort your items by Type, Rarity, Value and apply filters
StarCrawlers v1.1.3.2
Happy Lunar New Year! Rojo the Lucky has appeared on STIX (and will no longer pelt you with infinite Lunar Coins).
Base Game Changes

Added inventory Sort button to Loadout, Stash, and Merchant menus - sort your items by Type, Rarity, Value and apply filters to highlight specific item types.
Think an additional menu needs a Sort button? Let us know on the forums!
Added Combat Ability Hotkeys (key or keypad #1 - 6) for equipped abilities. Simply mouse over an enemy and hit the hotkey to trigger the ability in that slot. This feature is in-dev and will be expanded and added to the Controls menu in a later patch with customizable hotkeys.
Combat Ability Hotkeys does not currently function when Stick Ability Wheel is active.

Base Game Fixes

Player hacking Core should now receive the correct amount from effects that boost damage (ex : all ranks of Protocol)
Failing to flee from combat with Sticky Ability Wheel enabled will no longer softlock combat.
All categories of Dossier will now correctly drop - happy Lore Hunting!

Misc

Minor text and UI fixes.
Added more bugs for free.

StarCrawlers v1.1.3.1
Updates for all platforms are now live!
Base Game Changes

Based on player feedback, random enemy spawns in rooms on side missions have been reduced 30%. This will typically result in 3 - 4 less battles per map and allow for more opportunities to explore. We’ll continue to watch for feedback on enemy combat density.
Added new items and improvements to Lunar New Year 2019 - this event will activate on 5 February 2019.
Most event vendors will refresh their inventories when a purchase is made, allowing you to stockpile event tokens and make your event item purchases in bulk.

Base Game Fixes

Fixed issue causing Rojo the Lucky to appear before the moons have aligned and cause an infinite event loop.
Optimized resource handling for maps / events / items. Loading times on older systems should be faster.
Fixed an issue with starting a New Game+ when multiple NG+ files caused the selection scrollbar to appear.
Fixed an issue when loading saves from (very) Early Access that had references to old data.

Linux

Launch time should be improved when using the supported distro of Ubuntu 10.04 (or newer).

OSX

The correct graphics API is now chosen dynamically. Startup times should be improved once again on newer systems.

Combat

All non-boss enemies now use specific abilities when Charmed or Taunted.
Enemies that increase in size from buffs will no longer scale so large as to be unclickable.

Hacking

Fixed softlock in Hacking combat if Ambush dealt the final blow to the last remaining enemy.
Fleeing in Hacking combat now attempts to retreat to the last Node you accessed. If no Node is available, an emergency Jack Out is performed. Node defenders will regenerate if you flee.
Hackmaps now generate with extra space on borders to avoid appearing under UI elements.
Snafu enemies that Divide will now properly inherit the size increase of their stacks of Surge.
All versions of the Sample ability now correctly restore Masking when dealing damage.
Having a full meatspace inventory will no longer prevent purchasing items in the Hackshop.

Misc

Minor text fixes.
Known Issue : there is a lingering “Nothing of interest remains.” event softlock - we are hunting it down.
Known Issue : failing to flee from combat causes a softlock if Sticky Combat Ability Wheel is active under Controls. Disabling this option prior to fleeing will avoid the issue until it is patched.
Known Issue : a category of Dossiers is failing to spawn for a certain faction - we are hunting it down.
Happy 2019 from StarCrawlers!

OSX : Quick fix to help launch issues on older systems - launch may be slower than usual, but it will get there ;)

22 December Hofix

Linux : Fixed an issue causing incorrect resolution on launch.
Linux : Disabled "Permanent Free Look" as default.
Fixed issue hiding info text when saving was disabled during mission.

StarCrawlers v1.1.2
A bunch of festive fixes and tweaks to hacking and the base game have arrived. Unfortunately, the coolant towers on STIX have overloaded again - enjoy the snow while it lasts!
Base Game

Updated StarCrawlers to Unity 2018.2.11f1.
Festive gifts have been spotted on missions. In the spirit of the holidays, be sure to steal them.
Fixed issue with effects that update their duraton at end of turn sometimes updating at the start also and so shortening duration considerably.
Fixed issues with some events that could display no options to proceed.
Fixed issue on Final Boss Fight preventing use of combat inventory after phase 1.
Fixed Crabomination being able to create an infinite loop of the ability Alpha Strike.
Fixed item duplication that could occur after looting a chest with a fully inventory.

Linux

Stability should be improved when using the supported distro of Ubuntu 10.04 (or newer).
Text entry fields should no longer input characters twice.

Hacking

Du Bei in the Hackshop now offers special missions to perform remote hacks from the safety of STIX: no physical danger to your crawlers and your identity will be protected - as long as your Deck Masking holds.
Jacking out of a remote hack mission prior to completing your objective will fail the mission.
Base health of enemies in Hacking reduced.
Base cost of items in Hackshop reduced.
Successful node operations play a sound now.
Group configuration for enemy hacking systems given additional randomization.
Damage to enemies and to player that is fully absorbed by a Barrier effect correctly displays floating numbers and log entries.
Fixed issue with generated hacking maps having some nodes unconnected.
Fixed clones created by Dupe from setting the player deck’s health to their health value.
Dazzle and Flares were receiving too much Stun value per level.
Multi-hit attacks (like Shiv) now show damage per hit vs. min to max range.
Fixed issue prevent Overwatch from initiating its effect on enemies.
Equipping a Utility that modifies max HP / MP now converts current values to a percentage of the new ones (just like Health in the meatworld) instead of just changing the max value.
Du Bei will now offer to heal the % missing of your deck HP (instead of charging a flat fee for a full heal, regardless of missing health).
Deck HP & MP are displayed during node hacking events to give you better information about whether you want to risk them during node operations.
Being jacked out by an event or fleeing combat now returns you to the meatworld properly.
Fixed hacking programs carrying from game to new game.
Fixed crit and damage reduction values being miscalculated resulting in always / never critting and no / massive damage reduction.
Fixed Deck button during hacking becoming unresponsive after completing a previous hack.
Fixed several issues caused by using Fast Combat Animations during Hacking.
Fixed Mimics mimicking Mimics that could lead to mimiception.

Misc

Minor text fixes.
Happy Holidays from StarCrawlers!

StarCrawlers v1.1.1 - Hotwire Update

Hotwire Patch Deployed! Details inside...
The Hotwire Update is live and it’s FREE. Originally intended as DLC, we’ve reworked and integrated all of the content from Hotwire into the base StarCrawlers game as a free update for all players. Here’s what’s inside:
Hacking

Hacking is now a fully developed and separate system that works alongside the base game.
Datajacks will now spawn on randomized missions allowing access to the virtual Wire network which connects all of the systems of the map you’re on.
Using your Deck, jack in and ride the Wire to encounter 35+ new enemies and discover 25+ new abilities exclusive to hacking.
The Hackshop in STIX sells Programs and Utilities to beef up your Deck and tackle the toughest denizens of the Wire.
Enemy programs guard the Wire and change depending on the type of network, security rating of their nodes, and other factors to give a different feel to each network you hack.
New hacking element types (Security, Corruption, and Deception) each have their own enemies and program types for you to unlock and use both in hacking combat and when interacting with nodes.
Nodes in the network control security doors, alert levels, contain loot data, and more. Hack your way to the Core and crash it to bring the system down and stick to the megacorps.
Now that hacking is live, more hacking specific content is in the works (and will arrive Sooner™)!

Additional Patch Notes for v1.0.4

Tip Jar

We’ll be supporting ongoing development of StarCrawlers with free updates and content patches by adding a Tip Jar button to the title screen. If you enjoy the Hotwire Update and want to see more of it (and new stuff!), please consider showing your support with a $1 tip!
Tipping confers no in-game advantage and never will (but we’ll think you’re really cool) and amount may vary in your local currency as determined by Steam.
If the Tip Jar bothers you, simply click the Hide Tip Jar button and you’ll never see it again.

Story

Fixed a plot hole that could allow a certain character to randomly appear on the final mission (despite your refusal to work with them earlier in the story).
Firing the Prototype allows it to be rehired from the STIX bar - possibly. It may wander off and do its own thing if it feels like it.

Smuggler

Sped up animation of Showdown crosses on target when stacks are greater than 3.

Linux

Unsupported resolutions checks are no longer ignored on Linux as a workaround - as such, you may need to adjust your resolution and reset your preferences if you are playing on Linux with a non-3:4 display.
If you encounter issues with your resolution on Linux - please let me know your distro and native resolution in the forums so I can support as many as possible.
Double typing on text entry is still a known issue - Unity has not patched it. Investigation continues!

Other notes

Fixed additional elusive typos.
Minor bug fixes and QOL improvements.
Known issue (non fatal) with event entering hackshop for the first time that can cause a sentence be skipped.
