Survivalist: Invisible Strain News

[p]Hello, it's patch day! I've added a message to game if you don't see any mods, explaining that you need to allow "Nudity" in your Store Preferences, due to Valve's recent policy change:[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]For the rest, it's mostly just bug fixes. Here's the full list:[/p]

• [p]Fixes for some incorrect memories being triggered if you execute someone with invisible strain[/p]
• [p]Fix for not being able to parry if you use a gun to execute someone with invisible strain and they turn and immediately bite you[/p]

[p][/p][p]The previous patch, v253, is now on the main branch and XBox :)[/p][p][/p][h3]What's this publicbeta thing?[/h3][p]v254 will be in the "publicbeta" branch on Steam for a while, before pushing it to the main game and to XBox. If you want to try the latest features as they come out (and help test them!) it's a good idea to start using this branch. But keep in mind:[/p]

• [p] Because it's the bleeding edge it could be less stable [/p]
• [p] If you want to be able to play online co-op with someone you'll need to be on the same version as them [/p]
• [p] If you go back from the "publicbeta" branch to the main branch you may not be able to load savegames created on "publicbeta".[/p]

[p]Hello, it's patch day! The completed Brazilian Portuguese translation is now live on the main branch! Thanks once again to Arthur Nunes for that translation! ːJoeWheelerApprovesː[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]That was v252, which was in publicbeta for the last week. I've released a new patch with some more fixes in publicbeta (v253):[/p]

• [p]When driving a vehicle show the name of the fuel (gasoline or vegetable oil) on the fuel bar (instead of always showing 'gas')[/p]
• [p]Fix for Liam Franks getting stuck at critical moment[/p]
• [p]Fix for not being able to infect Carbon Arrows[/p]

• [p]Fix for not being able to change sort order and type with gamepad on Storage Policy dialog[/p]

• [p]Possible crash fixes[/p]
• [p]Updated Brazilian Portuguese, Indonesian, Japanese and Russian translations[/p]

[p][/p][p]Also for anyone who uses mods please note: it looks like Steam has changed some policy or code recently which means you can't see any of the mods for this game unless you have allowed "Some Nudity or Sexual Content" for Community items in your Store Preferences. To change this, click on your profile name in the top right corner of Steam, go to Store Preferences and tick the box in the Community column for the Some Nudity or Sexual Content.[/p][p]I'm not sure if this was a deliberate change by Valve - I've sent them a support request but haven't heard back so far. It has a certain logic because I marked the game itself as having "Some Nudity or Sexual Content" due to occasional innuendo or references to sex in the dialog. The problem is none of these mods actually add anything sexual (at least as far as I'm aware - and there's a system for mod authors to specify content descriptors for their mod if they do). So it's kind of weird and confusing not to see them when you can see the game. I looked to see if this was happening to other games and noticed the same thing seems to be happening to FrostPunk 2. Anyway, I'm looking into it - and you can use the above workaround for now.[/p][p][/p][h3]What's this publicbeta thing?[/h3][p]v253 will be in the "publicbeta" branch on Steam for a while, before pushing it to the main game and to XBox.

[p]Hello, it's patch time! Mostly bug fixes again but the big news is the Brazilian Portuguese translation has now been marked as Complete!

[p][/p][p]The previous patch, v251, has already been on the main branch for a while and I've now applied it on XBox as well.[/p][p][/p][h3]What's this publicbeta thing?[/h3][p]v252 will be in the "publicbeta" branch on Steam for a while, before pushing it to the main game and to XBox.

[p]Hello, I've got a small patch here with some fixes, a couple of which were for things I broke in the last one. Here's the change list:[/p]

• [p]Fix for the word Damp on action menu not using the gender of the clothing item in Brazilian Portuguese[/p]
• [p]Fix for Script Editor screen moving around when you press WASD keys while typing in an input field[/p]
• [p]Fix for soft hang on mod selection screen by pressing Escape while a dialog box is open[/p]
• [p]Fix for farmers stopping planting if you set a seed limit and exceed it, but not a limit on the produce. i.e. They will only stop planting if you exceed both limits.[/p]

• [p]Updated Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Indonesian, and Japanese translations[/p]

[p]I won't move v250 to the main branch because of the aforementioned bugs, but hope to promote this one to main pretty soon. There seems to be a bug in v249, on main, where sometimes co-op players get stuck on a loading bar when trying to join each other. That was fixed in v250, so if you're having that problem just switch to the publicbeta branch for now. But as I say, I'll try to get this patch on to main asap.[/p][p][/p][p]EDIT - I've promoted v251 to the main branch now (14th of June).[/p][p][/p][h3]What's this publicbeta thing?[/h3][p]v251 will be in the "publicbeta" branch on Steam for a while, before pushing it to the main game and to XBox.
