[2023] PINNED: Icarus - Pre-Hypatia Branch

This week we will be releasing Hypatia - Styx Operations Due to the conversion process of some missions to operations some existing prospect saves on missions for Olympus & Styx may not be able to be completed in their old state.

So we have provided a branch on steam that will keep the current build on before this weeks patch so you can complete your missions before switching over.

Icarus(pre-hypatia)
We suggest you swap to now if you do not want to be interrupted when the patch goes out this week on Friday NZT.

This way when you have finished up your existing mission you can swap back to the default branch to get the update.

How To Switch Branches

1. Right clicking on Icarus in Steam
   
2. Selecting Properties, this will open a window
   
3. Select Beta's
   
4. Use the drop down box to select the branch you want - in this case it is pre-hypatia

If the branch does not appear you may need to restart steam.

Styx For those of you who don’t have Styx, you can get this on Steam and check out the new map, creatures and missions in advance of this update if you want to get familiar with the new landscape.

Originally posted by HeyYaNITO: What scenario are you suggesting people use the pre-hypatia branch for? Is it *only* if you have an open mission on Styx and need to complete it? No other scenarios?

In 80% of cases it will just work fine, but due to most of the Styx Missions & Many Olympus missions being adjusted and cleaned up and converted into operations there is a chance that some quests have changed and may have blocked progress in some cases.

Originally posted by aXXe90: Was the information also passed on to server providers? I just checked with g-portal and they currently only have the branches 'Public' & 'Experimental' selectable.

I have messaged all of our verified server providers with the information

Originally posted by Veraxus: So does completing an operation in Open World unlock recipes the same as Missions? Does completing an operation also complete the respective mission?

Yes they unlock the recipes

Please fix. I've verified files etc etc Been on forums looking for a fix but nothing this is my last option Hopefully a Dev will see this.

Same...in two missions in a row now, I have no drop pod markers on the map. The hunting one I was able to work around because I happened to know where they were supposed to be and went to those locations.
On stockpiling mining (forget the name) I don't know where it's supposed to be. Internet shows a location but when I go there no pod drops. This is game-breaking IMO. Is there no concern now for missions? Has everything gone to open world & ops? Please fix this.

Currently any stockpile missions are bugged (fixed in this weeks experimental).
Looking into, I'll check the missions you mentioned tomorrow.
