maxkerpen

Version 1.0.1a is live!

This update focuses on gameplay improvements, UI and audio polish, and a number of bug fixes and multiplayer synchronization improvements.

CHANGELOG

Gameplay

- Reduced prepare sleep phase duration by 15 minutes on all maps - Increased capacity of certain storage containers (trash bin, ...) - Modified area access permissions to make them seem more consistent to the player (for yard, solitary cellblock, …) - Added more basketballs to the first two maps - Modified underground wall composition and scarcity to improve usability of tunnels in general and shovels - Added auto-saves: automatically saves the game when a new day starts, can be disabled on the host in the options (a)

UI

- Increased size and visibility of the text chat window - Underground entry now indicates that it is interactable with the interaction key - The search bar in the craft interface now also filters by localized item names and not just English ones - Added concealment status to the interaction caption of destructibles - Changed font of the "waiting for other players" message to increase readability

Audio

- Basketball item now has an internal cooldown for playing a sound - The telephone sound now has a proper (non-global) range - Slight audio volume tweaks for certain objects (shower, telephone booth, screwdriver, ...)

Multiplayer

- Illegal area flag synchronization is now handled entirely by the character's owner client, avoiding divergence caused by different physics engine evaluations on host vs. client - Illegal action flag is now properly synchronized from clients to host (e.g., when lockpicking) - Player underground flags are now properly synchronized across clients - Showers are now properly synchronized across clients

Localization

- Added some missing localizations (e.g., underground walls, ...) - Improved localization in certain areas (e.g., quest descriptions, item names, ...)

Misc

- Basketball item now freezes 10s after being thrown to avoid multiplayer audio issues - Modified doors in the first level of Infirmary A to prevent players from being softlocked

Bugfixes

- Fixed client not being set as owner of their own cell’s desk after loading a game - Fixed loosened cover plates (e.g., vents) not having proper collision with the environment - Fixed workboard sometimes staying highlighted even after work time - Fixed concealment items (fake bars, fake vent, fake fence) not being placeable - Fixed guards sometimes not shooting when fighting with a ranged weapon - Potential fix for doors sometimes not properly closing on some clients - Fixed loading a save file not working when attempting to load it in a different lobby (set of players) than it was saved in (a) - Fixed a bug that caused relations and quests not to load properly when loading a multiplayer save file in singleplayer (a) - Fixed a bug that caused relations not to load properly when loading a singleplayer save file in multiplayer (a) - Fixed finished quests appearing in objectives after saving and loading a game (a) - Fixed new players joining a loaded game sometimes being assigned a cell that is already used by a prisoner NPC (a)
