Attention, freelancers!



Here is the next update for the game. Check out the full change log below!

*Please note that these changes are not in any particular order.*

[h2]BETA Update 1.73.0 Changelog:[/h2]

Bug Fixes:

FIXED a soundtrack in the wrong list (Map instead of battle)
FIXED some item classifications being incorrect
FIXED a long standing issue where using the equip screen WHILE IN COMBAT would cause lag when moving the mouse cursor over a equip slot that currently had equipment equipped on it (This was terribly annoying and I could not find the cause for the longest time - this fix also improves the overall reliability and performance of the entire mouse system in general in relation to selectable windows)
FIXED some typos
FIXED some text formatting inconsistencies


Changes & Additions:

Added "Buried Below" side quest (This one is a small side quest, but I thought it was an interesting one - It's relatively hidden, so keep your eyes peeled!)
Added a new Steam achiement
A few tweaks to loot spawning
Added a new special main menu badge for people who purchase the Founder Pack DLC (Prophet, your freelancer contact makes a special appearance on your main menu and personally thanks you for being a founder!)
Optimized some ongoing processes
Added some new dialogue for the main storyline in a few places to provide hints and suggestions
Expanded some dialogues with unique NPCs with more lore
Updated some interactions with the "Shady Dealings" side quest
Updated some quest journal entires to be more specific and helpful
Streetlight color is now greenish instead of just plain yellow/orange
Raised the maximum of spent attribute/feature points on a single attribute/feature by 1 (Now 13 instead of just 12 - Community request)
Added Adjustment Delay new strain status (Works just like aug rejection, but with -1% mettle regen instead of -1% health regen)
Added Hypervigilant new strain status (Works just like paranoia, but with -5% confusion resistance instead of -5% max mettle)
Updated handling of all strain based systems to account for the new strain statuses added
Weather shifts now tint the screen slightly for a few seconds to look like the weather is changing the lighting while making the adjustments to the values (Looks smoother than previously)
Added some more detail to some item icon art
Added more detail to some interior areas that felt a little empty
Added a handful of new TV barks
Added a subtle camera scroll effect when hiring Salty to bring you to and from Greywater
Added some new sign sprites
Updated some exterior areas with more variation to look more unique
A LOT of other minor tweaks and adjustments

Hey guys! Instead of making several individual announcement posts, I'm making this one to cover all the bases.



A patch will be released for the following games shortly: Waste Walkers and all of its expansions, Disgraced, Lawless Lands and its expansion, and later on with the next update - Chaos Chain.

The patch is to fix a long standing issue in relation to changing equipment in combat. There was an issue with the code in relation to using the mouse where the FPS would tank when hovering over an equipment slot that currently had something equipped in it. There was a loop that was causing the info panel to CONSTANTLY refresh EVERY frame (60 times a second) and that obviously takes a huge toll on performance.

I never realized how bad it was until I was working today on Chaos Chain. The issue was present in all my previous RPGs but I never even noticed. The only reason I found it now is because Chaos Chain has A LOT of slots for equipment (both actual equipment and then the augmentation slots for cyber/bioware), so the whole screen gets super laggy and it was just awful.

Anyways, it's fixed now. The patch for each game will be live shortly, I am just waiting for the builds to be complete and then I can start uploading.

Thanks for reading and for your support!
