Starbrew Station v1.5.3 - Crash Fix Update
[p]Greetings, Station Managers. [/p][p]Version 1.5.3 is a stability update that fixes an anti-pattern for setting positions on units and UI elements, with 14 crash-causing bugs discovered since v1.5.2. [/p][p]If you've experienced random crashes when loading saves, placing units, or during boss fights, this update should resolve those issues. [/p][hr][/hr][p]![]()
[/p][h2]Crash Fixes[/h2][p]
We've identified and fixed a category of crashes related to Godot 4.5's stricter node tree validation.
[/p][h3]The Problem[/h3][p]Several scripts were setting a node's global_position before the node was added to the scene tree. In Godot 4.5, this triggers a crash. These bugs were lurking in many different systems and only appeared under specific conditions.

[/p][h2]Thank You[/h2][p] Thank you for your continued bug reports and patience, and I'm sorry for any save data lost or corrupted due to these crashes.
