A29 Patches #2 and #3
=== CryoFall v0.29.11.8 (A29 Patch #2) ===
Changes:
- Chat messages from faction members will appear in green color (same as for party members)
- Laser sight for faction members now has a green color (same as for party members)
=== CryoFall v0.29.11.10 (A29 Patch #3) ===
Changes:
- Improved Turret and Spitter AI. It will choose its target more smartly instead of focusing on the closest player (that may be behind a wall or other obstacle)
- PvP: as a temporarily measure to improve the balance, we've increased amount of green herbs received per gathering from 1-2 to 2-3 and increased their spawn rate (from 20 minutes interval to 15 minutes)
- Improved random selection of boss spawn location (the previous algorithm resulted in one location being used much more often than the other two)
- Space debris and meteorites will not fall near alien teleports
- Increased hunting skill experience for killing a bear, honey badger, and hyena
- Construction quest tasks completion is shared with not faction members (previously it was shared only with party members)
- Server will open a new log file each day
Fixes:
- It was possible to place turret blueprints close to each other
If you're hosting a community server, it's highly recommended to install this patch but not mandatory (new clients are compatible with old servers).
PSA: if you're using Norton Antivirus, some of the game files may be detected as malicious. They're not—we've verified this 100%. It's just a false-positive detection due to heuristics analysis (signature matching is not a perfect way to determine a virus or malware and Norton is notorious with this issue). You can see the analysis by Virus Total—every other major antivirus doesn't detect anything with the game executable. We've reached Norton to submit false positive detection to them and, if you're their user, we encourage you to do the same by following this link https://submit.norton.com/?type=FP
As a workaround, please disable the antivirus temporarily, install the game, whitelist the game executables, then enable the antivirus back. There are two executable files that you need to whitelist:
