Chris Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 This update is being pushed out to both the Experimental and Stable branches immediately. It contains all the patches from the V1.06 update yesterday, but with two additions (the .exe is the same): CHANGELOG: Final mission no longer incorrectly has the "take and hold" victory condition set, which allowed you to win by holding the side rooms instead of killing the final boss. When aliens open UFO doors during their turn, line of sight should correctly update. The stat tracking module is now genuinely actually definitely 100% disabled. Units can no longer move through doors without opening them on night missions by facing away from them. Base defence turrets have been upgraded to be worthwhile - even one can now shoot down a UFO. Xenopedia entry for them has been updated accordingly. Heavy Drone autopsy / disassembly research now unlocks correctly. Fixed an error in weapons_gc.xml where Alien Plasma Rifle had 65 Burst Accuracy instead of 35. Final game manual has been added. This is the last major update for the Windows version of Xenonauts we're planning this week. The final mission bug was a pretty serious one and we were keen to fix that, disable the stat tracking and patch in the final game manual. We're not aware of any other bugs that require urgent attention, so we'll be concentrating on the ports and Steam Workshop next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills6693 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Steam Workshop next. Awesome to hear this especially. While I'm sad the game will not be seeing any more UI, feature work etc, and probably no more balances, its good to hear that there will be steam workshop hopefully soon!

PurpleXVI Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 If you've already encountered Heavy Drones and gotten the empty research pop-up, will it be in your Xenopedia properly when you play next and/or still unlock properly when you next down a Heavy Drone in combat?

Chris Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 No, unfortunately that particular fix is not retrospective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarlix Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Sorry for the potentially stupid question, but how do I apply this update to the GOG version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew94 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Sorry for the potentially stupid question, but how do I apply this update to the GOG version? Also, will GOG users be able to manually install the workshop content or is it steam exclusive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 This update will be zipped up and sent to GOG / Humble Store tonight. We'll also start on updated ports etc. For the mod stuff, you will be able to install it manually if you get your hands on the files. Presumably the modders will continue to post them up here for exactly that reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ventuswings Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Speaking of the mods, is the Geoscape map hard-coded (as in the landmasses where you can build base or shoot UFOs down)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomsdayman Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 So when are you gonna change the PSI. It's really annoying right now, even on beginner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Z Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 [*]Fixed an error in weapons_gc.xml where Alien Plasma Rifle had 65 Burst Accuracy instead of 35. Oof, that would explain a few things. Anyone know how long this issue had been floating around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kabill Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 At least since v1.0, since that's when I was last playing proper. I was surprised at how often burst fire was hitting, but I figured it was just bad luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Z Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 That wouldn't surprise me; absolute obliteration via plasma rifle burstfire from 20+ squares out has comprised about two thirds of the fatalities of my current run. Casualties dropped off precipitously once the alien armory became more varied later on, amusingly enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow86 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Hmm. The manual says destroying an alien base is supposed to give a funding boost. But in my experience, it doesn't. Some ground missions will also affect your national relations score. The most notable are terror sites – completing the mission will grant a sizeable funding boost, but losing a battle can cause a catastrophic funding drop. Alien base missions will continually drain relations in their host nation, but also provide a boost if destroyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deh Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Heavy Drone autopsy / disassembly research now unlocks correctly. This isn't happening for me. Started a Terror Mission with Heavy Drones in 1.05HF and finished it in 1.06 and i still get the blank research screen a couple days after the mission.

dragoon Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 This isn't happening for me. Started a Terror Mission with Heavy Drones in 1.05HF and finished it in 1.06 and i still get the blank research screen a couple days after the mission. Same for me. I have to press 'esc' to close that menu, and it crashes 100% when I try to resume the game clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeaxle Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 The game is looking and playing great - good job! Is there any chance the windows not providing cover until broken bug will be fixed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgerrr Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Is aliens/AI not opening doors when ‘nauts are point blank to those considered being a feature or it’s a bug? Will it be fixed/improved? It makes a big chunk of tactical gameplay trivial (storming the UFO should be thrilling – not being ‘fire range’ like experience imo) and slowly but surely puts me off.

Skitso Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Is aliens/AI not opening doors when ‘nauts are point blank to those considered being a feature or it’s a bug? Will it be fixed/improved?. I'd really like to know that too. I wonder if it's an AI issue or general ground combat code issue and if GH can/will fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 Stealth patched the Heavy Drone crash thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaqen Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Can I politely ask when this update will be available on Desura too? I'm really yearning to play the hell out of Xenonauts (first message even if I'm a ks backer, yai! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jupilerke1967 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 updating the game is a must but trying to play the game with mods with this many updates is hell so pls every 3 days an update would be much welcome. because steam has nasty habbit off updating the game even when you dissabled it. regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 This build is currently being ported and the Windows version has already been sent over to the guys at GOG, Humble and uploaded to Desura too. They're all just awaiting authorisation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
