Continuum Challenges!

Version 0.660


🎯 [Continuum Challenges] Continuum Challenges are now available in the beta test branch from the new station platform in Reginald (waypoint 1 in Act 1)! Each challenge provide fixed player buffs such as bonus skill points when completed. Beware: If you die during the challenge, you need to restart it completely. Unlock them by completing a Continuum Event (any - you need to do this again even if you have completed a Continuum Event pre this patch).
🎯 [UI] Items are now enlarged when highlighted in the inventory/storage etc.
🎯 [Misc] A new kind of elite enemy weapon has been added.
🎯 [Balance] Elites in Continuum XL have fewer 360 degree-type weapons.
🎯 [Balance] The Founders skill "Flux Deflector" has been buffed.

Balance update

Version 0.650


🎯 [Balance] Procedural item buffs have been slightly reduced.
🎯 [Balance] Aura and condition proc-event buffs have been reduced. This applies to both current and new items.
🎯 [Balance] Health of stalking worm-type enemies has been slightly reduced.
🎯 [UI] Cleaned up the HUD tool tip for weapons that have 0 direct damage.
🎯 [Bug fix] Removed an issue that on rare occasion could cause lag spikes when playing a network game.
🎯 [Bug fix] Fixed an incorrectly unlocked door in an Uber Continuum Event.

Misc update

Version 0.640


🎯 [Balance] On-hit procs can now trigger for conditions that inflict damage (every 2 seconds).
🎯 [Misc] A new Continuum Event modifier that increase the velocity of enemy bullets has been added.
🎯 [Bug fix] Fixed an issue with some caves having semi-transparent walls given high sensor ranges.
🎯 [Bug fix] Raycast-type weapons no longer pass through walls.
🎯 [Bug fix] Fixed an incorrect faction designation for some enemies in an Uber Continuum Event.

A new Xinthu skill!

Version 0.630


🎯 [New skill] The Xinthu tier 7 skill Experimental Catalyst has been added. If a weapon provides damage over time, its direct damage and hull repair are converted to damage over time. Attack speed is reduced by 80%.
🎯 [Balance] The "Brute Edition" weapon mod can no longer be used on purely auxiliary weapons that have 0 DPS.
🎯 [UI] Current player conditions in the UI are now sorted according to type and effectiveness.
🎯 [Misc] The setting "Networking_Max_MTU" has been added (this setting is not possible to change from within the game). Per default, the max MTU for network packets is automatically identified by the game itself. However, some users seem to have had issues with this function. A too high MTU can cause various weird behavior when playing multiplayer, such as lag and infinite loading screens. If you experience such events when playing multiplayer, try setting Networking_Max_MTU to 1200. I.e., add 1200 to ../game_root/Data/config.cfg.
🎯 [Performance] Greatly increased performance when playing with builds that produce lots of bullets.
🎯 [Bug fix] Fixed an error related to changing skins for Sentinel-type ships.
🎯 [Bug fix] Fixed an error related to using follow-type weapons on fixed weapon points when using Sentinel-type ships.

Misc update

Version 0.625

Misc update

Version 0.624


🎯 [Misc] Reworked Sentinel tail physics.
🎯 [Balance] Hull has been slightly increased for elite enemies of level 21 or higher.

🎯 [Bug fix] Fixed an issue that could cause infinite loading screens for clients when playing COOP.
🎯 [Bug fix] Fixed missing names for individual body parts of Axiom Mech enemies.
🎯 [Bug fix] Fixed an error that caused land mines to do 0 damage.
🎯 [Bug fix] Fixed an issue related to Tractor Beams.
🎯 [Bug fix] Fixed a performance issue related to bomb-type summons and enemies.

Misc update

Version 0.620


🎯 [Balance] The bosses in Act 4 and the last boss in Act 3 have been given more hull.
🎯 [Misc] The Linux builds henceforth exludes the globalization package. The reason behind this is that some Linux distros do not come with the necessary library pre-installed (im looking at you, Arch Linux). It is primarily used to determine whether to use comma or period for number formatting. It is possible to manually enable globalization support by removing the row '"System.Globalization.Invariant": true,"' in the file "../game_root/Nienix.runtimeconfig.json".
🎯 [Bug fix] Fixed an issue that could cause enemies to clip through walls/doors. This issue was especially noticeable in maps with large cell sized (very long walls/doors).
🎯 [Bug fix] Fixed an issue that would result in a changed font when rendering characters unsupported by the chosen font.
