Early Access Patch 005: Snapped Bowstring Patch - 19th May 2020
Early Access Patch 005: Snapped Bowstring Patch - 19th May 2020
The highlights today are the new alternative aiming method and the zoom to satellite view feature. In this new-fangled aiming system, once you have primed an ability, you no longer need to drag the mouse holding down LMB but can simply click where you want to shoot at. You’ll need to make a change in the settings for this to take effect!
Gameplay
New aiming control alternative – No longer need to have to drag the mouse while aiming. Combined with the previously added inverted options, you’ll now be able to find aiming controls you’re comfortable with. – Thanks to Mr. Wild, The Last Hope, KuseBlack, Breytac, and many others!
Points of Interest (mineral nodes and buildable spots) are no longer hidden by the fog of war, preventing players from wandering aimlessly – Thanks to Phoagne
Difficulty on all 1P Horde mode maps has been tuned down further. Easy has a much longer wait time before hostile units show up, and has 5 hostiles in total, for example. 2P and 3P difficulties will receive their own fine tuning soon.
Pause – The game will now pause when you are playing by yourself and hit escape.
The Horde mode timer was off and showed the wrong number of waves left. This has been fixed.
Attempting to shoot while making the transition from Satellite View to the World View would cause the FoW to not render in, now fixed.
Tutorial
A simple mining tutorial has been added, to show the basics of how to earn resources
Camera Controls
Zoom in and out further, and you can now zoom all the way up to satellite view and back down again using the mouse wheel only – Thanks to Mr. Wild, and others
UI
Resized the length of the items in the game log
Removed the facility tree UI until it gets a graphical overhaul – it was crowding that side of the screen
Tutorial
Another fix that prevents the movement tutorial flow from breaking
Multiplayer
2 and 3 player horde modes were crashing due to an error in the camera manager, now fixed – Thanks The Croc Dealer, ZubZeroHMG
Very often crash when a randomized faction choice was made, now fixed
Crash when icon widgets were initializing before they were supposed to, now fixed
You can expect a further patch tomorrow, with other highly requested items such as camera rotation by holding the middle mouse button, and more! Thank you.
