The Brew Barons News

- FPS Limiter added to settings menu, this will limit the target FPS of the game for those who find their hardware runs too hot but prefer to have more options than VSync.
- Additional VSync "half" option. Please note that FPS Limiter and VSync are not compatible so only one should be set
- Optimization to improve performance in the Hangar
- Fix brews going missing when transferred between inventories, this was particularly likely if the player created multiple different brews with the same name, but this should now be safe to do
- Fix Klare-Franci mission could not be restarted after failing
- Fix broken recipes The Sea Hag and Dim Fiber Whisky

Thanks again for your patience as we keep working through the issues, we will keep putting out patches as quickly as we can.

- fix heavy plane achievement not being awarded, it should also award retroactively if you have previously built the heavy plane, when you load the heavy plane into the hangar (you may need to load a different plane and then reload the heavy for this to work)

- fix Sky Breeze Whisky and Bland Aqua Brandy which could not be made due to incorrect data

- fix contract tutorial softlock when it ran in the brewery and the contract was accepted before the dialog prompt
- fallback for games failing to load when they unexpectedly cannot load a plane, they will default to the hangar
- added location indicators that correspond to an additional legend the map to give clues about where ingredients can be found
- number of ingredient slots on map legend increased so that all ingredients on an island will be shown

- fix brewery softlock when blending animation step fails to finish

- fix for salvage minigame getting stuck in black screen
- fix for crates being pushed out of reach in salvage minigame
- fix for exit button being unclickable in salvage minigame
- fix for unexpected plane deaths when returning from bars or salvage minigame
- fix mouse cursor disappearing in interiors after using pause menu

- new games will now validate copied data files before starting the game, if an error is found a warning message box will display instead of starting
- starting a previously saved game using Load or Continue will copy the save game to a backup folder prior to starting. This folder will have the suffix _bkp and can be used to restore the game if the original gets corrupted which some people have experienced.

If you do get a problem with your save game please get in touch with us on the Discord, we may be able to fix it up.

- Fix Brewery product panel Create was not working, now it should automate the brewing process for a previously created brew as long as you have the required ingredients
- Fix bomb tutorial conversation clashing with Franci story conversation causing bomb to never be unlocked
- Added fallback for saved games which did not activate the bomb ability, this should restore the ability although it may not happen instantly
- Fixed New Chapter button in the Roster panel should not appear as it causes bugs, people who pressed it previously may have put that story into a bad state.

Sorry again for the inconvenience caused by these bugs, if you think your save game might be in a bad state please get in touch with us on our Discord where we might be able to fix the files.
