Greetings, wizards!

Please see the patch notes below for the details:

Legend:
FIX - Fixed an issue. MOD - Modified

MOD Tweak to some roaming armies allowing them to join endangered towns in some cases

FIX Lag resulting from screen refresh calls on Spell Casting screen

FIX Rare crash resulting from adventures unable to handle "No Lairs" setting
FIX Festivities event corrected
FIX Meteor Storm spell error corrected

Thank you

Update 1.79-1 Patch Notes

• I finally found a way to keep the landmine from sliding around after throwing it

• Updated the tutorial texts to fix some inconsistencies

• Now if you fail a hit job due to being seen, the game will try to explain to you whether you got seen killing, or seen while wandering around before the kill

Quick Hotfix to resolve an issue that caused characters lips to sometimes not move when they were talking for players with surround/spatial audio setups.

Patch 1.3.12069b

• Fixed various story issues (i.e. Frank not getting Katherine out of the bathroom).
• Fixed an issue with incorrectly sized older skin texture mods. They are now automatically resized if incorrectly sized.
• Fixed blocky lower resolution mirror reflections.
• Improved the visibility of the starbomb box when it's resting in the grass.
• Added in-game achievement images for Valentine's achievement.
• Fix for Valentine's Easter Egg not always showing up correctly when achievement occurs.

Patch 1.6.12 Expands fast travel options

This patch adds more reliable ways to fast travel to Haven and clan settlements. Envoys can arrange a journey to their clan, while Loremasters offer to take you back to Haven.

On the flip side, you need to be more careful with well-made items. They can now break! Like any other item they first get damaged and wrecked status. But once wrecked you need to be extra careful! If one of them breaks, you’ll keep any sigils you forged in them though…

Gameplay Changes

• Moving the well in Haven to a more sensible location.
• Envoys offer the option to travel to their home town immediately.
• Traveling loremasters can take you back to Haven.
• Inns in settlements have a chest where you can safely store items.
• As an experiment we have made the option to start a journey from the map screen always available unless you are in combat.
• Changes the position and priority of the restore save option in the game over menu.
• Almost any weapon has a chance to smash through objects such as brittle rock or broken gates. They are just less effective and they will quickly wear from misuse.
• Well-made items can break. When they do, the sigils are returned to your inventory.

Bug Fixes

• Areas outside a city gate cannot be marked incorrectly as being inside the city.
• Gifts from shrines are not duplicated when you leave and reenter the level.
• Improving the way sarcophagi keep their state persistent across level switches and level restores.

5.588 Zenith Consistency
(Released February 24th, 2024)

① General
• The long awaited Death-Effect fix.
---• Death-Effect damage is now applied before regular weapon damage.
---• Squads losing ships beyond the first now properly continue triggering on-death effects.
• Fix to hack-panel showing blank buttons for hacks which targeted the planet (ie. hack for vision).
• Vanilla tooltips no longer show bottom lines with debug information.
---• This includes the "autotargeting NPC_B .." stuff and "expected damage incoming".
---• Now only included when the debug entity tooltip setting is on.
• Fix a longstanding bug where if you got unlucky with how the DZ planets spawned, they might never link into the galaxy
---• Thanks to The Grand Mugwump for reporting

② Quickstarts
• Some quickstarts have been edited/added. Thanks @StrategicSage
• 1-Basic > Helping Hands description changed to accurately describe the factions present, and Nanocaust invasion now happens at the start to ensure they actually do have time to help.
• 1-Basic > Helping Hands 2 removed. It is basically redundant with the other Helping Hands scenario, and it also seems unwise to have a Basic quickstart that requires an expansion faction (Scourge).
• 2-Moderate > A Rite of Passage; a new quickstart with the traditional dual 7 AIs setup.
• 2-Moderate > The Spire quickstart has been split into two; Infused Friends Arise and Fallen Friends Arise to represent both Spire variants. They also have been changed from Realistic to the more Spire-appropriate Bubbles map type.
• 2-Moderate > Zany Zenith; a new quickstart featuring the Zenith Dyson Sphere and Zenith Trader, which previously were not introduced in any of the 'official vanilla' quickstarts.
• 2-Moderate > Mobile Interests; a new quickstart introducing the Ark Empire player type.
• 2-Moderate > Two new quickstarts featuring the Spire Spheres; The Splendid Splinter includes the Splintering Spire, and Dyson Dynamics has the spheres without the Splinter War.
• 2-Moderate > Agents of Chaos, another new scenario, features the controversial Chromatic Horror. Partake at your own risk.
• 3-Harder > The Swarm; An unannounced Macrophage infestation exists which does not appear to be intentional. They have been banished from this particular galaxy with extreme prejudice.

③ Sidekicks
• The DZ Sidekick can now "Lock In" their economic choices by right-clicking the hacking menu when making a choice for an Epistyle
---• This means that the epistyle will continue to try to build this thing until the player requests otherwise
---• The previous behaviour ("build just this thing, then the faction will continue to make its own choices) is preserved with a left-click

Patch 1.3.1.12069d

• Fixed an issue that could cause the head to fall through the floor after the freezer cutscene.
