Version 2.0.0 — Expeditions, Companion Capture, and Stability Fixes

Lazy Legions 2.0.0 Update

Version 2.0.0 focuses on smoother expeditions, safer defeat recovery, easier monster companion management, and a more reliable desktop-window experience. This update also includes a large collection of performance, save, UI, and stability fixes.

Monster companion capture rework

• Removed capture-tool quantities and the temporary holding process.
• Weaken a normal monster below 30% health, then capture it directly into your permanent roster.
• Auto Capture now turns itself off when the roster is full, preventing repeated failure messages.
• The companion roster now clearly displays the active-team limit and supports up to 5 active pets.
• Added a confirmation step before permanently releasing a companion.
• Pending captures from older saves are automatically migrated into the new roster system.

Safer expeditions and defeat recovery

• Fixed an issue where a defeated team could become stuck at the camp departure gate.
• Fixed expedition routes being rebuilt more than once after a defeat.
• Defeat recovery is now saved as a complete, recoverable checkpoint instead of a partial intermediate state.
• Fixed hot-loading another save slot sometimes applying the defeat penalty twice or carrying over stale hero effects.
• Improved co-op persistence protection so roster and equipment data are not overwritten while recovery is being committed.

Desktop window and visual improvements

• Fixed clicks passing through to the desktop after mouse passthrough had been disabled. The game and main menu now correctly capture the full window.
• Added a responsive animated sky backdrop for expeditions and improved its coverage across different resolutions and world transitions.
• Removed the old day/night cycle and its hidden enemy power and loot modifiers, keeping combat values and environmental visibility consistent.
• Improved weather presentation, background visibility, and window interaction behavior.

Bug fixes and performance

• Spread large monster and terrain cleanups across multiple frames to reduce stalls after defeats and route changes.
• Added runtime memory protection that reduces temporary effect load under pressure and restores normal quality when memory becomes available.
• Fixed enemies leaving the playable area or losing their movement state when being returned.
• Fixed stale UI resource references and a deferred formation-handle error that could repeatedly appear during rapid roster changes.
• Improved effect cleanup, boss behavior, expedition progress safeguards, save coalescing, localization, and general stability.
