A Merchant's Promise News

HotFix: Ivernox Furniture store had furniture left inside! ….It Might be a mess…but you might be able to sell it as well.

There were a few bugs that needed to get addressed quickly and then I also added in a Toggle for Sprint as it has been requested a few times and I agree it needed it!


[h2]Patch 026[/h2]

Improvements:

• NPC Performance (Dawn Changeover)
  
• NPC Performance footsteps
  
• Weather Protection now based off if ANY object covers it
  
• Added Toggle Sprint option in Control Settings
  

Bug Fixes:

• Harbor NPCs getting stuck on Dawn Transition
  
• Performance Spike at Dawn
  
• Large rocks missing footstep noise
  

As always I'm in Discord should you need anything!

Hotfix:

• Removed Gold Coin form start area (was used for Beta Testing)
  

GamePad Support: Gameplay and Menu Navigation

Full-time Physics: Items no longer "lock" to crates or your wagon. They are in a constant state of motion. With this, a new settings option named "Physics" with a LOW and NORMAL mode have been added to the Video Settings Menu to provide a lower-cost performance option though this may cause some collisions/movements to not be registered.

SteamDeck: Users have reported good performance on the deck and with the updated gamepad support and key configuration menu setup is much easier.

Few More Items: 8 More crates have been added to assist in transporting your goods.

A Huge THANK YOU to all the players that took their time in the BETA to test gamepad inputs/settings and test for bugs!

I am working to maybe have 2 game modes to enable/disable this as it can be more performance. I will continue to look into this and will update.



This has led to an updated control mapping of game keys and some things have been able to be simplified.



Admittedly, I am not a console nor gamepad user so I was a bit out of the loop on how desirable a feature this is. So now the first trial is out!

I appreciate anyone who takes the time to let me know their thoughts on this first iteration of it!



Thank you!
