Beta Update. 1.1.8.2.64
- Changed: Re-balanced game client sizing
- Changed: Changes to the size of some text
- Changed: Changes to the location of some parts of the GUI
- Changed: Changes to the character sheet GUI
- Changed: Save file format
- Changed: 64 Bit client only
- Changed: Now using .Net Frameworkv4.7.1
Important Notice: 64Bit vs 32Bit
This means that all extended memory is ignored, no matter what OS you are using.
Although the game works fine in 32 bit, I am unable to provide extra content to people who are playing on a 32 bit machine.
Please understand that I have tried my best to squeeze in content to the small memory window. This is often noticed when you relead the game mid-game or if you are running several other services, limiting your base memory.
To this end I am moving all new development to 64 bit only.
Not only will this allow me to provide extra content but it will also make the base game far more stable and perform better for those users who are using a 64bit OS.
Steam allows me to query how many users are using a 32 bit OS (if you have allowed steam to query your OS) .Out of those users who have allowed steam to do this, there are NO users using a 32bit OS.
There is a new BETA branch available listed as 64bit. This is a test area for the new client that is available to all users. When I am happy the new client is stable, I will switch this to be the default client and then move the 32 bit client to the beta branch so that people with old machines can still play the game (Without any extra content).
I hope you understand and approve this move that will allow me to continue to add to the game you all enjoy and provide a stable game for all users.
Settlements Christmas Update
Ho! Ho! Ho! and welcome to the Christmas update for Settlements.
Starting on December the 1st a Christmas tree will become available for you to upgrade and obtain presents.
The tree will be visible at any Settlement with a center building (EG: Not available at the oil pump!), clicking on the tree will open the tree menu.

Each in-game midnight, santa will take a look at your tree and if he likes it, he will leave gifts for you. The odds of him leaving gifts are based upon the level of your tree.

Beta Branch Fix 1.1.6.6
I hope you enjoyed the Halloween update and managed to collect a lot of pumpkins.
There is a Christmas update in the works, however until I am ready to release that I am still trying to nail down the adventure click issue that some players have experienced.
The Current Beta build: 1.1.6.6 has some changes in it that should fix this issue.
If anyone who has the adventure click issue can check to see if it is resolved and post on the forums the results.
Thank you for your help with this, it is the key issue that is stopping any more content updates to the game.
Tormunda.
