We've just released a new patch for Deadnaut: Signal Lost. This update, version 1.2.1, is primarily focused on bug fixes and performance improvements. Below you'll find a detailed list of what's new and what's been changed.
Added
- Sigil Viewer: A new feature under New Game -> Custom Game -> View Sigils allows players to view all the sigils available in the game. Sigils that have been discovered will be highlighted
- Armoured Hull Location Bonus: Ships with this bonus have higher structural integrity, meaning they take less damage from stray shots or explosions
Balance
- Adjusted post-mission sigil rewards for middling performance to better balance the player's sigil library between positive and negative sigils. Other performance-related sigil drops are unaffected
Performance
- Anti-aliasing is now disabled by default for first-time players
- Added an option to disable terrain heightmap generation, located in Options -> Video & Audio under "Workarounds". This is an experimental, last-resort solution for players experiencing game crashes during settlement generation. if you do use this option, please email [email protected] with feedback
- Implemented crash detection during settlement generation. A prompt will appear when the game is restarted after a crash, suggesting the use of workaround settings in the Video & Audio menu
Fixes:
- Resolved an issue with some sigils having duplicate icons
- Clarified in the manual and in the post-mission sigil tooltip that sigils are only active if equipped at the start of a custom game
- Fixed a bug where the Escape key wasn't backing out of some screens in Create Deadnaut
Hotfixes (November 20):
- An issue with custom deadnauts where the game would become unplayable
- Deleted custom deadnauts sometimes reappearing on the selection screen
- Minimap and holo map on settlements not showing buildings, roads and other structures when terrain generation is disabled
- More extensive logging if the game crashes during settlement generation
- Tweaks to toxic atmosphere and terrain generation that may prevent crashes on low-end GPUs and systems with outdated graphics drivers
- Confirmation dialogs for elevators, cloners, etc. can now be cancelled/closed using Escape, or accepted by pressing Space
