Hi everyone! Patch v2.0.6 just released, bringing fixes, tweaks, and improvements based on the feedback you’ve shared.

Here's what's included in today's patch:

General Adjustments & Additions

• Increased XP rewards for discovering locations, especially in Alios.

• Increased XP gain from Androids & Bandits in Alios.

• Adjusted the frequency of bandit 'barks' .

• Enemies in Alios Comms Centre have been made tougher.

• Shotgun damage increased at very close range.

• Did a balance pass on ranged weapons (Avenger was significantly outperforming others).

• Adjusted stat scaling: too many attributes affected the melee skill, relative to other combat bonuses.

• Added a toggle setting to automatically crouch after performing a slide.

• Added a door to exit the ship if the player has already landed on a planet.

• Made some text adjustments during ending slides.

• Added some conditional checks to the final dialogue for certain outcomes.

Audio

• The following sounds are now properly tied to the sound effects volume slider: XP gain, bullet impacts, 'Take item', scanning, time dilation, turret gunfire and explosions, pause menu opening, eating/drinking/pill consumption, weapon switching, and doors opening/closing.

• Fixed missing footsteps in New Havens Cave.

• Added ambient music to New Havens Cave.

• Fixed 'checkpoint' level in Vesta missing music.

• Added sound effect feedback for hovering over load/save UI slots.

Missions & Waypoints

• Added waypoint to 'Connect to Hub' in Alios' Comms Centre.

• Added waypoint to 'Deal with Infestation Problem'.

• Corrected 'The War' mission waypoint to properly point to Pearl City.

• Added waypoints to the objectives in Vesta.

• Fixed New Haven leader repeating intro dialogue before mission completion.

Save System Changes

• Limited total save slots to 50 (down from 999) to make save management easier and address community feedback about excessive save file clutter. (Existing saves above the 50-slot limit won’t be deleted, but creating a new save will remove the oldest one.)

• Autosaves are now limited to the last 3; when a new one is created, the oldest is deleted. (If you currently have more than 3, they won’t be deleted, but a new autosave will remove the oldest.)

• Checkpoint saves are now limited to the last 5; when a new one is created, the oldest is deleted. (If you currently have more than 5, they won’t be deleted, but a new checkpoint save will remove the oldest.)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed crashes when switching weapons via radial menu.

• Fixed controller 'Consume' button also switching weapons.

• Fixed biocells not working via radial menu when biocell energy levels are more than 50%.

• Fixed radial menu not allowing grenade switching.

• Fixed Huskrot & Thornrush not healing players.

• Fixed sniper scope overlay persisting when switching weapons quickly.

• Fixed perk system issue where a previously chosen perk appeared selectable again (the perk was still applied though!).

• Fixed collisions for Alios river structures, and sofas.

• Fixed grass clipping through buildings/tents in Alios.

• Fixed Divinity interact UI not disappearing after taking it.

• Fixed Alios' Comms Centre door interaction height.

• Fixed Alios' Comms Centre inventory player UI position.

• Fixed New Havens Cave mission not progressing after completing the objectives.

• Fixed Velarach health bars & names not disappearing after death.

• Fixed New Havens leader dialogue missing his name.

• Fixed Sera and Lucian missing names in dialogue in Vesta.

• Fixed issue where sleeping didn’t advance time to day time in Alios.

• Fixed final Vesta objective wiping player stats and inventory on load.

• Fixed UESA and Enlightened soldiers in Vesta being too weak to pose a challenge.

• Fixed uncrouch issues near tripwires.

• Fixed various walls, floors, and visible gaps in Vesta.

• Fixed control panel text missing in Vesta (both instances).

• Fixed rival faction incorrectly showing friendly icons in Vesta.

• Fixed credits showing too early and overlapping with background during the ending slides.

• Fixed cursor not appearing during ending slides.

• Fixed visible terrain issue in Alios near the comms centre.
