Vanguard Galaxy News

[p]Hello everyone,[/p][p][/p][p]Another little hotfix.[/p][p]Fixed[/p][p]- Removed the accidental "Limited Time Loot Goblin Event",[/p][p]I.e. reduced chance of enemies having really good gear. So this balances higher level patrols, bounties and industry ops, but also reduces the chance for high rarity drops. As always, looking forward to your feedback and thanks for all the good feedback so far.[/p][p][/p][p]Cheers, [/p][p]Bat Roost Games[/p][p][/p][h3]Enable the beta version[/h3][p]Make sure to keep an old save game when switching to the beta, just in case. We always make sure that your save games will keep working, but as long as the beta is ahead of the release, the beta save game won't work on the release version until it catches up.[/p][p]To take part go to Manage and select Properties for Vanguard Galaxy in Steam:[/p][p][/p][p]And select the open-beta under Game Versions & Betas as shown below. [/p][p][/p]

[p]Hello everyone,[/p][p][/p][p]Quick little hotfix to prevent the game from loading in some instances[/p][p][/p][p]Fixes[/p][p]- Fix for the game treating hidden jumpgates as usable, causing the game not to load in some instances[/p][p][/p][p]And as always, if you find any annoying / interesting bugs or just want to give your opinion.
