Developer Note:
We have been doing smaller, more frequent patches instead of grouping them into big ones because that makes it easier to discover exactly what might be broken and where. Most fixes are made based on player feedback from their server experiences and some optimizations can only be found by analyzing a 60 player server or more.
Those who wish to receive fewer updates or want a more stable version of the game to play on can switch to the Legacy beta branch. See the bottom of this post for details on how.
Updates:
Fixed: Tribals being able to pickup bows when they already have one.
Optimized: Server / Game Performance.
Transition Growth Bug Fixes.
Started roughing in more human areas to AE-001 map.
Added more varied water sources and edible plants to more parts of AE-001.
How to change your game version to Legacy:
1. Right click The Isle in your Steam library and select Properties
2. Go to the Betas tab
3. Use the drop-down menu to select "legacy- Previous stable branch"
4. Run the game or restart Steam to begin auto-downloading the legacy branch
The legacy branch is updated less frequently so may be missing certain features or fixes from the latest development build. However, it is the most stable version of The Isle. Because of this, we advise players who do not wish to update constantly or who are having performance issues to opt into the legacy branch.
