Greetings Commanders!
We hope that everyone is able to enjoy the holiday season. We have been hard at work on the next game in this series, Steel Shadows, which releases in just three short weeks. However, some of the work we have done on that game is now going to be available in Ancient Frontier.
External Save Files:
For a small number of our customers they were concerned with the save location of the game using the Unity default. To address this we have written an entirely new back end save system for Steel Shadows that will save to an easily accessible external folder.
With today's patch, Ancient Frontier will now also use a hybrid of the original save system and the new system from Steel Shadows. That means that if you start a new game you can now find your save files. Going forward save files are located at:
C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\Fair Weather Studios\Ancient Frontier\
Your old save files will continue to work! From within the game there should not appear to be any difference between the new and the old system. This will only impact people that want to find their save files manually on their hard drive.
New Events!
This patch brings three new events for you to experience on your travels through the Frontier. We could say more, but that would spoil the surprises.
Graphic Enhancements
We made several enhancements to the level artwork in this patch. This mostly had to do with skybox tearing or bugs in the background textures. In addition some of the lighting has been tweaked.
Bug Fixes
- We believe we have fixed the bug where not all of the events would show up for players depending on when the game was created.
- Fixed several bugs related to equipment on AI ships.
- Fixed a minor display bug on the deployment and fleet management screens that was introduced with the support of 4k televisions.
And that is all for now. We continue to work hard on both this game and Steel Shadows, and we hope you enjoy the results.
Thank you for playing our games!
