Ahoy Mates!
First, thank ye fine mates who've been sending us feedback! That's been incredibly helpful. The next big item to hit the seas will be blockades. We're currently working on plans, but welcome yer input.
Since release last week, we've implemented the following changes:
- Fixed issue that caused many of the buildings to suddenly disappear.
- Adding a "CPU Bugfix" checkbox at the bottom of Ye:Options:General, which can be used by players affected by excessive CPU usage when using Steam. This option may interfere with the behavior of the Steam overlay when making a purchase. If ye run into that, uncheck the box.
- Switching to a wrapped parlor badge in the Eminent Explorer pack. This way ye pirates can open it whenever ye wish.
- Increasing max poker buy-in to 20,000 pieces of eight. And increased poker rake to 5%.
- Fixed the "Navigation" action on the Shadow sloop's navigation wheel.
- Fixed bug that allowed DLC to be claimed on oceans other than Obsidian.
- Typing "nh" in chat will no longer auto-swap to "nice hand", since that abbreviation is also used for Night Harbour.
- Updating Huracan island walkability
- Adjusting the idle logoff delay to more time before ye are auto-logged off.
- Fix for bug that could cause holders of the permanent labor badge to be treated as dormant. This should correct issues where offline labor wasn't being used.
- Modifying the colors of the shadow panther from the Battle Box to make it more distinct.
Ye can find the change log here.
We have a few items we're currently working on. This is by no means a complete list:
- Building arrows have declared a mutiny and have disappeared from islands. For now, please try using the mini-map in the upper right to navigate to buildings.
- Plans for blockade openings.
- Issues with the Steam Overlay not working correctly.
- Issues installing the game the first time. Most of these have already been fixed, though a few are lingering.
- The new "War" tab of the Notice Board is still being constructed and redesigned. Let us know if there's certain info you'd like to see here.
- Additional Steam achievements.
- Steam trading cards.
