A Merchant's Promise News

Thanks for taking the time to make me aware of some of the issues experienced! Here is a patch for the reported issues.

After merging the game from Beta to Regular I always take a few days to just fix issues that are discovered so you will tend to see multiple HotFixes etc! (If you haven't noticed)

VSYNC: I am working on this today as it has caused some issues for some, if you notice laggy FPS or stuttering, disable VSYNC in the settings.

[p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Let's get right to it with some highlights:[/h3][p][/p][p]New Trading Panel:[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]...no more congested double panel word heavy contracts to sort through your goods! Thanks to feedback and working with you guys...the same information is there, but much more clean.[/p][p][/p][p]You can also select to add or remove items right there in the panel to allow you make quicker financial decisions instead of guessing which item is which on the table and add/removing them 1 at a time.[/p][p][/p][p]An ADD COINS FROM PURSE button will also appear and physically add money to the coin tray for you if you are short and have the coin available.[/p][p][/p][p]You will also notice a (Stolen) item there in the picture...yep, those will start being tracked now and will notify guards if you try and sell them (more will be added to this).[/p][p][/p][p]The Abacus also had some love put into it and NO LONGER requires you to drag each slider. Instead, simply click the Interact Key on them and they will automatically slide for you.[/p][p][/p][p]While the game is about physical interaction with things, there is always a balance between "fun" mechanics and plain torture...so when things start to cross that line, I try to accommodate and re-think the design.[/p][p][/p][p]As always, I'm in the Discord if you need anything.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Patch 033:[/h2][h3]Improvements:[/h3]
