We're releasing a new update that fixes two issues that emerged after yesterday's launch. These were:
- Some players are unable to connect to multiplayer match if they don't own the Necrons Faction Pack
- Players are unable to access Necrons after purchase from Epic Game Store
We are really sorry for the inconveniences caused by these two.
Unfortunately, it will take us a few days before the update on Xbox and PlayStation goes live, but in the
meantime we are releasing the update on Slitherine, GoG, Epic and Steam.
We are also including some changes earlier than originally planned. Please let us know if you run into any technical issues.
Changes since 1.1.21
-------
- Changed how poison and acid damage works. Poison/Corrision now affects individual models, where previously it affected the unit but only damaged 1 model. Also added UI indicators for models with Corrision/Poison status effect under their health bars.
- Added a new procedural map type.
- Improvements to terrain modification and placement in procedural maps
- Improve rendering performance of procedural maps
- Implemented soft clip fading for decals

- Added the first pass of a new post-campaign UI with numerous stats about the campaign playthrough
- Change Thornback Deathspitter to do Acid damage and Devourer to do Poison damage
- Reduced the time required to generate a procedural map, especially on consoles. This should improve loading times.
