Greetings Exiles!

We’re releasing a new patch with fixes to many of the performance issues introduced in the latest patch. These should solve many of the low FPS and abnormally long load times you’ve been sending us feedback about.

We have also bulked up in cough syrup and distributed it to thralls and player characters to stop the pneumonia outbreak when they were idling, as well as fine-tuned the running stop animation.Many of the issues regarding altered item stats (such as different temperature protections) should also be tackled in this patch, along with some other bugfixes.

Thank you for your continued support and for your invaluable feedback.

Please remember that updates can mess with your installed mods. We suggest taking a backup of your current database before updating to any new patch if you have mods installed.

Currently Known Issues

• We’re aware of an issue with missing SFX for NPCs and player characters, particularly during combat situations. We’re working on that and it’ll be fixed in the next update.

PATCH NOTES

Performance and Stability

• Optimized some material and texture sizes to generally improve performance.
• Optimized current assets to improve performance.
• Fixed a number of crashes related to asset conflicts.
• Optimized files by deleting outdated and invalid assets.
• Additional file size optimizations to improve performance across the board.
• Increased the amount of logs in case of blueprint Virtual Machine crashes.
• Fixed incompatibility with upcoming Windows 10 20H1 update (currently Insider Preview).

Exploit Fixes

• Fixed an exploit regarding infinite stamina
• Battle Standards can no longer be used to prevent players from placing objects around their base.
• Fixed an exploit regarding undermeshing.

General bugfixes

• Fixed an issue where some equipment would grant you double the amount of attribute points.
• Blood and Sand equipment had their temperature resistances swapped by mistake. This is now fixed.
• Particles for the end-boss fight in the Wine-cellar should now work as intended.
• Pit of Yog and Rift of Yog (and their placement brushes) can no longer be used to kill NPCs and players.
• Fixed a couple of issues with the Debaucheries of Derketo DLC emotes.
• (PS4) Fixed issue with thalls reverting to 100HP with no gear substitutes. All previously equipped gear should be back as well.

Animation/Cinematic Fixes

• Tweaked the male stopping animation to make it much less extreme; it will no longer look like your character has a stomach-ache when movement ends.

Audio Fixes

• Distributed cough syrup in the Exiled lands, which effectively removed the groans and moans from idle animations.

File size for this patch is unusually large due to the asset and file optimizations. Apologies for the inconvenience.
