The old build has been archived for those looking to finish their games on the old smaller Treasure Island map but we dont recommend carrying over saves into this build.
This patch includes 3 patch fixes over the last 48 hours of updates. Expect a patch every few days this week as we work to get everything ship worthy so we can move onto civilian management ASAP!
Change list
- Factions Weapon spawning has been resolved
- Performance tweaks to level loading to improve overall system performance
- Faction Init Crash has been fixed
- Got rid of extraneous nav blocker in G3
- Moved landscaping cars to appropriate new Landscaping levels (rather than leaving them in levels where they stream in/out)Also moved some other landscaping trees to the Landscapes to stop ghosting
- Checked each spawn pod position in the master, fixed some that were 'sunken' into the ground (was causing targeting issues)
- Speculative fix for bridges not 'clearing themselves out' visually when destroyed
- Updated collision settings for Player walls/gates to allow auto-wiring to function better for them (via new collision profiles)
- Updated team-switching logic to also toggle a unit's Perception Stimuli, so anything looking at them will have to 're-evaluate' them and their team association (so units that were looking at something that was allied but then succumbs to infection, for example, they will not keep treating them like an ally)
- Fixed the Command Tent's upgrades not costing anything to purchase
- Updated Unit Population Capacity text display at the top right to not 'jar' so much when displaying population capacity change animations
- And made the 'population lost' animation not show double 'minus' icons resized tree textures
- Fixed an issue with certain building types incorrectly spawning recruited units at world zero (such as the Capture Truck)
- Speculative fix towards a crash with Medic AI
- Added a crash fix towards factions interaction poorly with perception system on startup
- Updated circle up at beyond 6+ units to use radial math logic for positioning units on larger-and-larger circles as more units are added
- Fixed up landscaping not working
- Reset the crowd following component on Freshly Loaded in characters to combat the 'units unable to move after load' bug
- Fixed Leviathan not being shootable
- Fixed up Leviathan bile not damaging units
- Fixed Helicopter AI having 'double vision radius' for units it had already seen (resulting in units almost halfway across the Open World remaining visible if a helicopter had seen them)
- Added some 'Saving, please wait' text to the Pause Menu when the game is saving - it disappears when the save completes (or if it fails somehow)
More Operators adjustments will be forth coming as we work to polish it amongst the RTS aspects to get back on civilian management. We expect to wrap up polish and be back on civilian management very soon
Please note the following going forward (Restart your game/steam to get the update if needed
Cepheus Protocol Anthology
We will be launching a new weekly series that will see several chapters added every Friday after release and will cover the chapters of the Novelization with 5 chapters added to expand upon the story and give more value to those itching for more lore/story information. It will delve into and show more about a secret new faction that will become the Anti-CERC in the Cepheus Protocol universe.
Don't forget to wishlist!
