Hello, I've released a new small patch in publicbeta. This one is mainly focused on fixes for bugs at the beginning of Story Mode, in cases where the player does something a bit unexpected. Here are the changes:
- Fix for Carter being able to join you too early if you fight and defeat the FEMA Patrol, which causes a number of later quest bugs
- Fix for a situation where it was hard to have a conversation with a character because they were aware of a zombie that was inaccessible to them, and their AI kept wanting to attack it but failing
- Fix for Kelly trying to rob you after she's already joined you if you shoot her with an arrow before you reach her
- Lock player in place while talking if you surrender to Kelly at the beginning of story mode, to avoid new players unintentionally cancelling the surrender by moving around
- Fixed various glitches around the starting quest in story mode
- Stopped trash containers around Tent City from belonging to them so it's not considered stealing if you their take rags and empty bottles
- Editor crash fixes
- Updated Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Indonesian, Latin American Spanish, Polish, Russian and Spanish translations
I've also promoted the previous patch, v239, to the main branch.
What's this publicbeta thing?
v240 will be in the "publicbeta" branch for a while, before pushing it to the main game. If you want to try the latest features as they come out (and help test them!) it's a good idea to start using this branch. But keep in mind:
- Because it's the bleeding edge it could be less stable
- If you want to be able to play online co-op with someone you'll need to be on the same version as them
- If you go back from the "publicbeta" branch to the main branch you may not be able to load savegames created on "publicbeta".
To use publicbeta, just right-click on Survivalist: Invisible Strain in your Steam library and go to Properties, then Betas and in the drop-down select "publicbeta".
