Yesterday I played a longer session — from the landing at Last Drop through both main quests. It took me three in‑game days, I reached level 14, unlocked several new and overdue Steam achievements, and overall had a very solid experience. No major bugs, no blockers. But I did encounter a few issues around the new quest, voice messages, and post‑quest behavior in Let There Be Light. As you can see below, these are now fixed — along with several other improvements. Enjoy!
achievments confirmed, I just got my:
Virex buggy doesn't disappear far from the start, weapons available!
Success!
The Virex has been in the game for quite a while, and long‑distance driving across Nesoi Island used to work flawlessly. After recent engine changes, I discovered that crossing into another region could unload the vehicle, forcing a reload — which didn’t solve the issue. This is now fixed. I tested it in the latest build: you can drive anywhere again (maybe avoid deep water…).
A long‑planned feature finally added:
works in the cockpit camera mode
does not apply to additional camera views (switched with the default C)
natural left/right limits based on window visibility
feels good to me so far, but I need more playtime — feedback welcome
First video from when Virex was originally added: Virex Showcase:
I reviewed the activation logic for achievements, especially those that didn’t trigger for me. The following should now activate correctly:
Arachnophobia — Hunt 10 spiders
Wish for Quantum Entanglement — Repair Ahra Prime Deep‑Space Relay
Steam achievements can activate instantly, or after exiting the game — this depends on Steam and the engine.
Voice logs were working, but loading a save could cause previously played messages to repeat (e.g., Last Drop welcome message, First Day log). This is now fixed.
After loading a save with the quest already completed:
Ahra Prime Deep‑Space Relay no longer emits radiation
the quest cannot be re‑triggered
Athens Sync Station now displays correct device and monitor colors after load
A known engine issue after recent undocumented changes: world streaming could unload important actors.
Virex vehicle “disappearing” after entering a distant region
Railgun from Comm Center vanishing from hands or holster
These cases should now be resolved — fully reliable for new games. Old saves may still contain outdated world‑streaming data. Please report any other disappearing items — I fixed everything I could reproduce, but testing every major item is practically impossible.
ammo is no longer checked for melee weapons or tools
accidental firing eliminated when holding a weapon without hip‑aim or ADS
added a mattress in Solar Control — useful for waiting out the solar panel timing window
improved readability on control‑room monitors
fixed rock collisions on Nesoi Island (player and vehicle) where missing and found
various terrain polish
All fixes are fully effective for new games. Older saves may retain previous world‑streaming issues.
