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

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 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.

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

Yup we are going to get a fix in this week for it

Originally posted by Proteo: After this update (or maybe the previous one, not the hotfix) I can't pick up dead animals to carry to the skinning bench. Tried with several ones like pumas and scorpions after just killing them, and nothing.

Is it working since the hotfix? I jumped in and it seems to be fine my side, if it isn’t working for you let me know and I’ll make sure it’s addressed.

Originally posted by Basilllisk: Was having issues with dedicated server being broken yesterday, whatever this fix did, it's working again no problem.

Awesome! Glad it’s up and running again.

Originally posted by Exctoris: It is not a rollback, I'm not sure how your version is older?
If you and your friend check the versions at the top of the application when you log in and you can compare to the versions below

Released Patch: 1.2.52.111515
Hotfix: 1.2.52.111537

No idea either, but that's what the game said when I tried to join his prospect - large letters mid-screen saying my client is older than the host's, I should update, etc.

Originally posted by MaNiAc: The hell is going on? We've been playing with a friend like 15 minutes ago. My game crashed, so I restarted, lo and behold, update incoming. Ok, I let it update the game and now my game version is actually OLDER than my friend's who's still playing.

Is this hotfix a rollback compared to the previous one?

It is not a rollback, I'm not sure how your version is older?

If you restart steam it will trigger an update

- Adding Fix for p2p and dedicated server multiplayer where a crash could occur while updating Steam presence
- Adding a fix which fixes the backpack slot UI not updating correctly, making it seem like players where losing backpacks

- Fixed mission history being duplicated during prospect save. This would cause the current active mission index for the player to no longer be the current mission when a save is loaded. In turn the reward system would not recognize that players are valid recipients of the current missions rewards when it is completed (causing no credits, exotics, or mission unlocks to be awarded).
- This should fix the large filesizes of saves & missions not rewarding correctly

Originally posted by StellarSkys: i mean i'm sorry what conditions happened to you happened but you also contradict yourself in this post.

here you imply you messed up with your programming and made storms more frequent than you meant to.
"This meant changing several parts of the weather system, which combined to result in much more severe and frequent weather events than we originally intended."

then you go on to say. "
This week we definitely got the message that the storms were too much."

this implies you did intend it and have learned the community does not like and will change it.

like why aren't you just honest instead of trying to sell both stories?

I worded it poorly, we ne... Read more

Last week we released our Weather Forecasting update - a new system that allows players more advanced notice of incoming storms giving them more time to prepare and make more informed decisions about what to do in-game. This meant changing several parts of the weather system, which combined to result in much more severe and frequent weather events than we originally intended.

One of the most enjoyable parts of the week for our team is seeing reactions from both fans in Discord and content creators on YouTube. This week we definitely got the message that the storms were too much.

Typically we would address this much sooner in a hotfix, but as you may be aware immediately following the update's release Auckland, where our studio is based, experienced an entire season worth of rainfall in a few hours and severe flooding (the irony is not lost on us) and much of the team is now working from home (as weather warnings are still in place) or taking time off to clean up.

Hey all - the issue is fixed, we should be all working again! Thanks for your patience while we resolved the issue.

If you have have done a migration in the past - you are fine.

If you are a new player - you can click ok and play and it is fine.

If you are returning after not playing for a while and haven't done a migration - the migration is down currently but you can choose to skip and play and migrate when it is back up using the [ForceMigrateButton]. When you Force Migrate it will clear all progress made after the skip, but you will have all your old data from when you last played.

- Fixing Race Condition caused due to new dropship player initialization which was causing players to die before landing on a prospect
- Added timeout check for retrieving data from the server. If migration fails a backup option is now shown to allow you to play without old data. Migration can be attempted later, however this will lose more recent data.

***New Players can now enter the game after attempting a migration, existing players who haven't migrated will have the option to skip migration. People who have already migrated will be unaffected.***
