Patch notes for Patch Version: EA 0.2 on November 10th, 2017
Steam version number: 2274254
New Content
- Winning Conditions: In addition to successfully ended family campaign, there are now more ways to win the game. For instance, you can now win a game in which you have wiped-out all the opponent dynasties. Even if you have successfully completed one of the Winning Conditions, you can continue the game afterwards;
- Master AI upgrade: it will now manage in the limits of its assigned budget;
- New scenario map: Vienna and Presporok;
Bug Fixes
- Fixed crash when alt-tab is selected while in fullscreen mode;
- Fixed a crash that was caused after loading a game that had a trial event;
- The action Hire Henchmen should work properly now;
- Only transport employees can be sent to the market or other stores to retrieve items. Production employees, which include Robbers, Thieves, Lansquenets & Henchmen, will no longer have access to that action;
- Rogue employees, which are robbers, thieves and lansquenets, now give the correct comments;
- Frame Rate Optimization: Fixed a bug that could occur when a NPC was "pushed" off a street during low frame rates. This was CPU intensive and caused the frame rate to drop since the game was trying to calculate and adjust the distance walked by each NPC in between frames and to find the nearest street to place the NPCs on. The higher a population was on any given map and the faster the game was played, the more chance this could occur;
UI - HUD
- Removed the title next to the name of the avatar top left of the HUD;
- If a business is beneath the quick selection panel and the cursor hovers over the business, the tooltip of the business will no longer appear above the quick selection panel;
- Building Status icons, such as "on fire" & Production Control icons seen in the Quick Selection panel now have tooltips;
- Enlarged the quick selection buttons on the right side of the screen;
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The feature Winning Conditions is now available to you & why not try them out on the new scenario map!
Due to a significant drop of frame rate while playing in First Person Mode and the need for further optimization, we had to disable the FPM until a solution is found for this issue.
When a new patch is released, we highly recommend to start a new game rather than load a saved game from a former patch since you might experience issues that have been resolved before.
