#### Update 1.16 (01 March 2019)

Dear investigators,We have uploaded the new version 1.16, in our continuous
effort to continue improving our game:

##### News and improvements:

* We have added the intro to our game (it was already time to do it) We really hope that you like it!
* We have improved the appearance of the minimap.
* We have added a checkpoint in the Detective Mansion right before the Boss. Some people asked us about this because the Mansion is a bit long to play, players are still learning, and having to play it all over again after dying was quite frustrating.
* We have added map stats in the pause menu. Now you can see quickly how many secret rooms, minievents, and rooms you have found.
* We have added a Reset progress button in the Options menu.

##### Fixes:

* Now, the game recognizes and switches automatically between keyboard/gamepad in case there is a gamepad connected to the computer.
* We have fixed a problem on Witch unlocking event. Now it works as intended.
* We have completed the balance of the Professor.
* We have started the balance of the Witch. Try the prologue! It should be easier to complete (still challenging, but much better than before).

Please continue sharing with us your thoughts and opinions. Together we´ll
make of Lovecraft's Untold Stories, the game that we all expect and desire.

#### Update 2.6.000m1.1 (01 March 2019)

Hey y'all! I've released yet another update for CSD 2 for Win/Mac/Linux that
is a bit different in that it focuses on graphical improvements and
performance.

First off, you should see improvements across the board in terms of framerate.
I've also improved several graphical assets that were overly blurry in
previous updates.

Secondly if you're running an ATI card and have experienced issues when
running the game on Ultra settings, try the new option under Graphics called
Alternate Rendering that renders the game in a cleaner way, which should
clear up the artifacting issues. (This is worth toggling on to see if that
helps clear up any remaining framerate issues you might have as well).

This also brings the game in sync with the console versions, which lead to
some improvements with the engine that resulted in this patch! By the way, did
you know the game is available on PS4, and is coming soon to Nintendo Switch
and Xbox One? For more details be sure to subscribe to our newsletter!

[(\\http://www.vertigogaming.net/main/newsletter]http://www.vertigogaming.net/main/newsletter/](\\http://www.vertigogaming.net/main/newsletter/\\)

If you have any issues with this patch, be sure to let me know, and as always
you can roll back to the previous update via GOG Galaxy.

Thanks again y'all for all the support! Look for more awesome announcements
coming later this year!

Patch 1.3.2 (01 March 2019):

Patch 1.3.2b (01 March 2019):

- Game no longer writes log.txt file, as it was being blocked by anti virus software
- Game now uses a temp file in user folder to store in progress savegames, to avoid them being blocked by anti virus

Update 1.68 (01 March 2019):

Hi there! This is the last feature-update before we come out of In Development. The next week is likely to just be bug fixing and usability/UI tweaks and fixes. Here is the list of new stuff:

1) [GUI] Changed vehicle renaming so it doesn't annoyingly add (1) to a duplicate name until you leave that screen, to prevent driving people MAD.
2) [GUI] Component prices on the finance screen can now be sorted up or down by either name or price.
3) [GUI] Added remappable shortcut key (B) to toggle blueprint mode.
4) [GUI] Redesigned layout of car design screen to accommodate longer languages.
5) [Feature] Added Swedish translation and improved others.
6) [Bug] Fixed bug when adding items to a supply stockpile where some categories would occasionally not be shown.
7) [GUI] Smart junctions now retain their list of designs when switching in/out of design mode, and also add new designs to the default list.
8) [Bug] Fixed crash bug when moving existing paint drying slots.
9) [Feature] You can now move supply stockpiles, and they keep their configuration when moved.
10) [Bug] Fixed bug where if you changed floor textures under office space, then moved existing office facilities, the default office floor texture was not re-set.
11) [Feature] Added researchable make electric motor and make electric powertrain slots.
12) [GUI] Canceling a slot or facility movement action snaps the item back to its old location.
13) [Feature] You now get a brand awareness boost of up to 20% automatically if you have high number of sales over the last four hours.
14) [Bug] Moved slots now remember their import preferences.
15) [Feature] Telling a supply stockpile to copy a specific task's requirements now links it, and it auto-updates to account for new research. Any manual change to the slot breaks the link.
16) [GUI] You can now place down conveyor belts as blueprints.
17) [GUI] The production schedules at the start of each line are now saved if you move that slot.
18) [GUI] Slight gradients on the vehicle design price slider now mark out the different price ranges.

Suggestions for future updates also welcome. if you like the game and have not yet left a review, it is much appreciated!

Update 0.75a (05 March 2019)

Changes
1) Expedition Forecast
-> Commentary: Basically player has 3 expeditions to choose from. It’s possible to have more choices due to the train station or other factors (random events). The forecast will deliver information about one out of three basic expeditions in advance. Depending on the difficulty the range of forecast may vary.

2) Prices Charts
-> Commentary: Prices charts for stimulants, because the player needs to know when the Merchant Company is robbing him and Prices charts for the land market because the player needs to know how much has he (or the bot) overpaid.

3) Merchant Company Boosters
-> Commentary: There will always be 3 boosters to choose from, and the merchant company will try to personalize one of the boosters for the player and his needs.

4) Black Market - The risk of buying Artifacts
-> Commentary: In a nutshell, it won’t be that risky like it is now. Also, all of the cheap Artifacts won’t appear on Black Market’s sales.

5) Black Market - Demand rework
-> Commentary: We want to give every artifact at least one chance to appear on demand. Also, we don’t want cheap artifacts on the demand.

6) Generating first 5 explorers and their addictions
-> Commentary: To balance the starting condition we want to create situation 2-2-1, which means that on start there will be always 2 explorers addicted to stimulant_1, 2 explorers addicted to stimulant_2 and 1 addicted to stimulant_3. And by 'addicted' we mean that they are very enthusiastic about certain stimulant.

7) Property Management - Interaction with the map
-> Commentary: Clicking on nobody’s lands or on lands of your opponent will open the brief note about the land.

8) Schedule of land auctions
-> Commentary: The auctions will be prepared in advance and the player will have the opportunity to plan next moves depending on the quality of the lands and their potential value. The auctions will be executed the same as in the current version, but the schedule will let you consider saving money for the next round.

9) Expedition Reports
-> Commentary: Reports contain all the information about the last expedition. The player can access all reports from the current game in the lobby. It’s super important because the information about the chance of success will be there (and it probably will be 100% or 0%, because Archeo gives % chances only for a certain range of lacking skill, and for Quests with “+” there’s no rng at all). With this tool, the player can learn quicker and better how to evaluate the difficulty of expeditions.

10) Background for items in Warehouse changed
11) Credits updated
12) Information for attempting to put artifact on the Black Market without accepting risk and margin.
13) AI opponents’ aggression on the land market decreased
-> Commentary: Bots are aggressive on the land market, and they should be to prevent the player from buying too many lands. But they were too aggressive because they know that they can’t bankrupt. It should be better now, at least after the first 10 rounds, when we feel they should be aggressive.

14) New information for each land - when and for how much was it bought Commentary: With Interaction with the map you can see this information for every land on the map.
15) Getting Fears on Normal Difficulty changed
-> Commentary: We feel that our last attempt didn’t solve this problem for the Normal difficulty. We decided to place a brand new algorithm for this difficulty, which allows 100% security if the right stimulant is present. The only negative factor (which means it’s the only reason for getting a fear) is now the lack of the certain stimulant (based on explorer’s addiction)

16) Cautious Attitude gives a better bonus to the risk of getting a fear.
17) Lands’ statistics are presented by bars instead of raw numbers
-> Commentary: It’s important to see the max. limit od land’s statistics. The player needs to know that a certain value is high or low. With bars, it should be clear.

18) A few adjustments for the random events in the code
19) “Thumb” graphic in the expedition
20) Archeopedia - text correction
21) Changes in random quest on the expedition - RNG factor terminated
-> Commentary: We’ve changed the formula for the random quests. Player probably won’t even see the differences but there are a few. First of all, we’ve terminated raw RNG factor. It was a small value, but after a lot of feedback, we decided to terminate it. After that, we had a void in the formula, and we needed to add a new factor to fill it for the balance. We added new relation for the amount of explorer participating in the random quest with the rule “the more the merrier”.

22) Cautious Attitude buffed
-> Commentary: After changes to getting fears on Normal Difficulty, cautious attitude became useless. We decided to buff it to make it a tool for players, who want to save some money on the stimulants but also don’t want to risk too many fears. Nevertheless, cautious attitude always will be a better tool on harder difficulties.

Bug Fixes
1) The sailor path in animation in the Quarters fixed
2) [ESC] works for Archeopedia
3) The game starts on the best possible resolution for the player’s PC
4) The fired explorers’ salary fixed
-> Commentary: It was a game breaking bug, and we are glad it’s solved now.

5) The bug with land auction report fixed
-> Commentary: Sometimes it showed the wrong winner.

6) Random Event ‘Need more coffee” fixed

Summary
This update provides adjustments to the gameplay and should help a lot with the understanding of the game. We didn’t want players to spend their time in the archeopedia learning basic and trying to figure it out. Instead, we want the player to learn on his mistakes and gather more and more experience with every other expedition. That’s why we added more tools for predictions and reports.

During our work on Update #02, we also had time to work on the career mode. At this time we know exactly what we can add to the game and what we will add in the next updates.

In next days we’re going to talk with you, the community, about our plans for next updates, for the release and about the career mode. We would love to see your activity and opinions and we hope that our plans and your expectations will meet.

Cheers!
