Overview
Some bug fixes this time around. Mostly targeting long-time issues and recent performance inhibitors.
Patch Notes for v0.20.1
Missing Terrain on Islands
On Arid, Headlands, and Shattered Shoals islands there would sometimes be missing terrain. This was causing a number of issues and has been a long running bug. Islands will now show the appropriate textures and collision. Safe to dock on and explore.
We are SO excited to finally have this one sorted out!! It took us a long time and we are thankful for players reporting it and for everyone’s patience.
Windmill Roof trapping players
A collision error with the roof of a windmill kept trapping players and their items. Now you are safe to jump around the roof at your leisure.
Heron Airship Sails
Heron airships had a “SailsActive” property to check if the sails were open or closed. Since they never close, this was an unnecessary check to be doing in the background so we removed the extra animator mesh. This should improve stability/performance!
OnDockAirship
Unnecessary backend noise was being created. No longer!
Crash in Voxel engine
This was a rare crash, but any crash fix is a good one!
Miscellaneous
Backend fixes involving new diagnostic tools for crash reports, Debug, and other technical fixes.
Known Issues
• Deckgun continues to play charging SFX if you try to shoot it with no Ammo
• Heron Airship Deckgun has a missing string
• “Create Planks to build a proper hull” hint is not going away after completing task
• Aetherscope and Aetherloom pop-up messages are confusing and not clear enough.
• Some players reported longer world generation, we will be keeping an eye on this in the coming weeks.
Short Term Roadmap
Subject to change!
