This patch includes both important bug fixes and gameplay improvements!
Important
-We've addressed a memory leak in the game that could make the game crash with a missing file error on rare occasions that the game hits the 4GB memory limit for 32bit applications on Windows. We've addressed this by patching the game to be aware of more than 4GB of memory.
-We've made some major improvements to the launcher. You'll now see your Steam user name when signed in and we have improved launcher startup time. We have also fixed some startup issues that could occur under certain scenarios. We've added the background music and sound effects back in now that the engine supports it. We've also updated the game art in accordance with the Steam Library artwork.
-We've optimised the cinematic encoder for the game depending on the specs. When you first open the game, you'll see some magic happening. It won't take too long and it improves the animations of the game drastically.
-You can now change the cinematic presentation zoom from settings. This feature zooms the area in depending on the scene, but you can now turn this off if you wish.
-The game now features a HERE icon, showing the player where the character is (especially useful if zoomed out) along with Entrances / Exits. Some of the entrances are not easily found in some stages of the game so this will really help guide the player. You can of course, turn it off if you don't need it in Settings.
-We've fixed an infinate loop bug that existed since the first release of the game. It was very rare for it to happen, right at the start with the first Karak battle, if you lost the battle the game would bug out and game over when starting from new game. We can now happily say this has been fixed.
-A performance issue when zooming out the map has now been fixed.
Gameplay Features
-There is now a Proximity sensor that will alert you when you are near planets, Galaxy Gates and importantly, the energy cores for the Cartographer quest, making it much easier to track them down.
-You will get Proximity Alerts when entering the space that warps to the Progenitor Graveyard, making it less frustrating accidently being warped there.
