Sneak peek: Campaign tutorial

Post


Hello everyone!

Another new addition coming in the next update is a new campaign tutorial. It complements the basic and job tutorials we added in the previous update to help new players get the hang of campaign gameplay, mission structure, and the lay of Europa.

  • Guiding new players through starting a campaign. The campaign tutorial places you at a simplified outpost and guides you to gear up and complete your first mission.
  • Tips and hints along the way. The new tutorial makes use of hints to highlight important NPCs, items, and submarine systems that are important for all jobs to understand.
  • Integrated into the singleplayer campaign. The tutorial mode is enabled by default when you launch a singleplayer campaign and can be turned off in the settings...

Fix for typing using Chinese characters in-game

Post


Hello to Chinese-speaking Barotrauma players!

It has recently come to our attention that typing in-game in Barotrauma has been inconvenient for Chinese versions for an extended time, with the candidate box to suggest Chinese characters not appearing as it should. We're very sorry for the the trouble and have prepared a fix to this issue, to be released in the next update.

While we are still developing the next update, you can already try this fix in the Unstable test version of Barotrauma. This allows you to get the fix early, and we will also work to accommodate your feedback in the public release. It would be very valuable for our development to get feedback from you, as we have no Chinese speakers in our development team, so we encourage all interested players to test the fix now!

How to get the Unstable beta Op... Read more

Sneak peek: Talent rework

Post


Hello everyone!

For the last update of the year, we are balancing and polishing Barotrauma’s talent system. The talent rework will introduce lots of new talents, and almost all existing talents have been reworked to some extent. We’ve focused on four aspects of the talent system in particular:

Additional talent levels and more talents. We’re adding two levels of more generic talents for each job, and some of these early talents must be unlocked before picking more specialized talents. The overall number of talents increases, too: we’re adding 50 talents in total.

More powerful final talents. As the talent trees get larger and take a longer time to complete, the final talent of each tree must be extra valuable. The new talent trees will offer a powerful boost or item when you unlock the final talent... Read more

Hi! Sorry for the trouble. This is the second similar report we've seen since the update, but unfortunately we've not been able to diagnose the issue based on what players have reported so far. If you're willing to go to a bit of trouble, a screenshot taken at the time when the issue occurs, with the debug console open and performance statistics enabled, could help – press F3 to open the debug console and enter the text "showperf", and then send us a picture of the entire game window. You can send the picture as a link here, or use our issue tracker in https://github.com/Regalis11/Barotrauma/issues and we'll see if the information helps us figure out what's causing this.

Hi! We release updates only every couple of months or so, and you should expect the next one roughly mid-December assuming our plans hold. (A faster cycle is impractical for us as localisation and quality assurance take a lot of time!) As we are getting closer to our 1.0 release, the update cycle has been a little less intense and the ratio of fixes & quality-of-life to new content has also shifted, as there is a lot to polish and balance now before we come out of early access. If you want to be among the first to know about upcoming changes, I recommend checking out the ... Read more

Preview: Hoist the Sails Update

Post


Hello everyone!

The Hoist the Sails update is almost here, with performance improvements, changes to submarines, an entirely new in-game tutorial, and more.

Performance update We’re updating Barotrauma’s .NET runtime to a new version to improve overall performance, and we’ve also been working on a number of optimizations to address specific problem areas, such as large numbers of items, talents and physics.

Changes in the shipyard The update comes with many changes to submarines and submarine upgrades:
  • A new early-game Transport submarine, the Camel.
  • Improved submarine upgrades.
  • The Deep Diver class is being removed, and Deep Divers become Scouts. Sub builders can choose a different class for their custom Deep Divers in the Submarine Editor.

Sneak peek: Changes in the shipyard

Hello everyone!

The next update will feature many submarine-related changes and additions, such as guns and upgrades as well as the introduction of submarine tiers, a new system of classifying submarines in terms of how advanced they are. Let’s take a look!

  • New guns! We’re adding two new large turrets: the double coilgun and the flak cannon. These together with the railgun are the new large weapons, which can only be mounted onto the new large hardpoints.
  • The Camel, a new Transport submarine, is being added. The other submarine classes have affordable starter options, and now the Transport class does too.
  • The Deep Diver class of submarines is being removed, and all the submarines in this class will become Scouts instead. Only De...

Performance update, GeForce NOW and important information for MacOS players

Post


Hello everyone!

The next Barotrauma update is coming in early October, and among other things, it will include a big change under the hood: we’re updating our .NET runtime to a new version, and this should yield significant performance gains. Combined with the ongoing optimization work, the .NET runtime update will help to make the game run considerably more smoothly for most players.

GeForce NOW


Another exciting change is bringing Barotrauma to Nvidia’s cloud gaming platform GeForce NOW[www.nvidia.com]. While this will have no impact on those who can run Barotrauma on their syste... Read more

What are the Russian names for the aliens?

Comment
    Dynamoon on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
Edit: looks like Kratos beat me to it but I'll leave my list up anyway in case someone else needs the walkthrough for looking things up yourself!

Hi! You can find all these names in your local game files. Locate the game files on your computer and navigate to Content > Texts > Russian, and open that .xml file, e.g. in Notepad or similar. Then ctrl+H to search, and look up every creature by its English name to find the translations used in-game. Or rather, look up just one as in this case they're conveniently listed all in the same place!

Explanation just for future reference; I'll paste a cleaned-up list of the non-human creature names below!

Charybdis: Харибда
Coelanth: Целанф
Crawler: Ползун
Endworm: Червь Рока
Doomworm: Гибельный червь
Fractal Guardian: Фрактальный страж
Husk: Хаск
Mudraptor: Грязевой раптор
Deathraptor: Раптор-убийца
Mantis: Богомол
Moloch: Молох
Moloch Boss: Молох-босс

Seems to me OP wanted to avoid hurting anyone's feelings with the video, and it seems everyone so far agrees that that was nothing to worry about. No reason to nitpick beyond that, please enjoy the video and refrain from unnecessary debate about the choice of words!

Fix for MacOS v0.18.15.2

Post
Hello MacOS players!

We've released a fix to address issues you've been having since the previous hotfix.


v0.18.15.2 (MacOS only)

- Fixed crashes on MacOS 10.13 and 10.14. This seems to have happened because Microsoft quietly dropped support for these versions in .NET Core in late 2021, and we didn't realize until this hotfix when we deployed with a sufficiently new version of the technology.
- Fixed inability to use the voice chat on some MacOS versions, due to the game not having permissions to access the microphone as a result of the aforementioned .NET Core upgrade.

Hotfix v0.18.15.1

Post
Hello everyone!

We've just released a small hotfix to address a couple of issues that were discovered while we were away on our summer holidays. Stay tuned for continued content updates a little later and see the changelog for today's fixes below!


v0.18.15.1

- Fixed frequent crashing in the submarine editor. The crashes were caused by modifying multiple entities at the same time, such as by selecting an entity of the same type as the last entity that was edited.
- Fixed dragged objects becoming invisible if you bring the cursor over a UI element in the submarine editor.
- Fixed a bug that sometimes caused radio voice chat to be muffled.
