Chris Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Build V16.1 is approved by Desura for download via their client, and the standalones are currently undergoing the Desura approvals process. Build V16.1 is basically a large hotfix for V16, hopefully fixing several of the major issues with the game: 1) The Farm tileset crash should be fixed. This was happening at the end of the turn on the Farm tileset, and was caused when civilians moved and tried to vault over a wall. Their vault animations were missing, so the game crashed. I've updated their settings so hopefully this should no longer happen. 2) Invisible units: On the Desert, Arctic and Middle East tilesets, there were missing units. These were either civilian or friendly AI troop units where the sprites hadn't been rendered out yet. The updated sprites will be coming in V17, but I've added some placeholders there now so at least it's obvious what unit is meant to be what. There should be a lot more variation in the civilians by V17 though. 3) Middle East maps: The Middle East maps weren't done when we released V16, but they were still loading up. Therefore people would occasionally get unfinished maps, or maps where they couldn't get off the Chinook. I've put together a (basic) map for the Middle East now, so you can at least have a taster of how the tileset might look when the game is released. It will also prevent you getting completely flat and open / broken maps for the tileset (arguably more important). Quote
chacineiro Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Thanks for the quick fixes, looking forward to download it. Quote
tass Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Is this another 1G+ file or just the needed changes? Quote
Chris Posted October 16, 2012 Author Posted October 16, 2012 If you can get the Desura client working (many have problems) then it's just a 50mb update. Quote
tass Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Thanks Chris. Hmm, may have to break out my patch maker when I get home .. Desura is blocked @work.. imagine that, they want us to work rather then play (: Quote
Betuor Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I actually, for one second, saw a friendly soldier on the artic set. I can't wait for more. Quote
Agent Dark Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 You have made my sniper squad very happy. They were getting annoyed with me as I was always paranoid they were going to shoot an invisible civilian. Thank you for such quick fixes to the game. Quote
Aklyon Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 It shows up as there in the ZIP file download as 16.1 (v16) Quote
Dowly Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Yup, Desura has showed v16 as v16.1 since v16's release. Quote
thothkins Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I get a "You need to purchase this release to download V16.1.rar " for that option but v16 is available. Desura itself is a dead loss as usual, with no updates showing. Quote
flashman Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 2 hours of trying and I cant even get it to update. Havnt played Xenonauts since the kickstarter as family ties and work killed all free time. Quote
Buzzles Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 2 hours of trying and I cant even get it to update. Havnt played Xenonauts since the kickstarter as family ties and work killed all free time. Update isn't out yet. That's why. Chris will update the thread when it is (also, us forumites who don't have problems with Desura tend to start posting "updating!" about then). Quote
Orion Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Update isn't out yet. That's why.Chris will update the thread when it is (also, us forumites who don't have problems with Desura tend to start posting "updating!" about then). indeed, to the annoyance of the rest of us that still can't get at it!

thothkins Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 the odd thing is, that the 16.1 option was there as soon as I heard about 16. was it that obvious a hotfix would be needed? Quote

I still have the kickstarter build and trying to update it to ANYTHING else Quote
Buzzles Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Lol not talking about 16.1... I still have the kickstarter build and trying to update it to ANYTHING else Probably best to delete it and redownload the whole thing tomorrow (when v16.1 will probably be out). It'll be a big update size-wise from the KS build anyway. Quote

Buzzles Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Deleted my install but the server connection keeps timing out and it doesnt appear to auto reconnect Try force updating Desura (in the start menu options) if you've not used it in a while. Quote
FranTorres Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Only 50 Mb? neat. Well let's get the update. Quote
Citizen844 Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Gawd...still not updated? I keep going back to playing XCOM EU, but then I start feeling like it needs a realism patch - so come back here, and I get dissappointed again...and still. Desura sucks craps. Quote
