Greetings Warriors of Calradia!
On Thursday, we released a silent hotfix with several additions: improved OpenGL-related fixes, a fix that should allow offline play (War Sails), and a fix for a launcher crash that was caused by invalid render values.
Today’s patch comes with more tweaks to the naval storyline and further polish with bug and crash fixes.
Please note that there may be a delay between the download of the base game and the download of War Sails. If you launch the game prior to both of them being updated, you will crash. If you face this issue, please verify your game files.
Please also note that Console hotfixes arrive with a delay, as their release processes take a bit more time. Releasing to PC without waiting on this process allows us to gather data and feedback more quickly - benefiting all platforms.
The following changes are specific to the War Sails expansion and are not part of the base game.
Fixes
Fixed a bug that caused the “Capture the Merchant Crusas” quest to get stuck in the dialogue with Crusas if you were on your second try for the quest (f.e. after leaving story mode by choice or after losing an encounter).
Fixed a bug that caused interactables on burning ships to remain usable.
Fixed a bug that caused certain weapons (axes and javelins) to display incorrect textures while holstered.
Crashes
Fixed a crash that occurred when launching the game or loading save files due to incorrect resource loading.
Fixed a crash that occurred when cutting loose during the end naval battle phase in the “Free the Sea Hounds’ Captives” quest.
Fixed a crash that occurred during a prison break in the Nord dungeon due to a spawn point issue.
Fixed a crash that occurred when the player focused on a ship control point after taking control of a friendly troop.
Fixed a crash that occurred when an AI party encountered the besiegers on land while a battle to break a blockade was ongoing.
The following changes are part of the base game and apply to the War Sails expansion as well.
Changes
Improved clarity and sharpness of the Chinese localization font.
Fixes
Fixed a bug that caused hideout victories to only award bonus loot (such as trade goods) instead of granting it in addition to the regular battle loot.
Fixed a bug that caused certain scenes (f.e. arenas) to display blue textures.
Crashes
Fixed a crash that occurred when entering Tevea for the “Villagers in Need” quest while also having the “Notable Wants Daughter Found” quest targeting Tevea.
Fixed a crash that occurred on the campaign map when too many nameplates were visible at once.
