[p]Added small improvements to the social window and chat messages[/p]
- [p]Context menu to add friend on player and chat message,[/p]
- [p]Whisper button is disabled when a player is offline,[/p]
- [p]And a few more smaller ones,[/p]
[p]Added a warning when the price for the selected quantity has increased when buying items from the marketplace (this is for a rare occurrence when someone else buys the items you had selected to buy while you have the window open),[/p]
[p]Fixed marketplace tags crashing the game,[/p]
[p]Fixed spending coins on fewer items when buying items from the marketplace,[/p]
[p]Fixed claim members online status not respecting the new social visibility setting,[/p]
[p]Fixed not being able to unclaim tiles that are far away from the settlement totem,[/p]
[p]Fixed not having a limit for how many sounds can be played at the same time (this was the fix that was already on preview for the crashes that happened after last week's update),[/p]
[p]Fixed chat dropdowns not having the right anchor,[/p]
[p]Fixed chat channel dropdown selecting the wrong channel[/p]
