2.0.3 Hotfix — Nightmare Progression, Equipment Growth, and Stability

Lazy Legions 2.0.3 Hotfix

This hotfix focuses on nightmare-loop progression, equipment drop growth, and long-session stability.

Nightmare progression and save fixes

• Fixed an issue where entering the next nightmare loop could overwrite hero levels, experience, equipment mappings, or inventory progression with incomplete live state.

• Added same-slot historical snapshot repair for some older saves that already suffered clear hero or equipment progression regression.

• Fixed expedition routes sometimes stopping at “Choose” without any available node after entering Nightmare.

• Strengthened future-schema write protection and equipment save-integrity checks.

Equipment drop growth

• Equipment base levels now scale consistently with expedition acts and nightmare loops instead of being limited by combat levels that reset at each node.

• Monsters, bosses, chests, route events, forge rewards, and jackpot rewards now use the same drop-level rules.

• Higher runtime levels from endless and similar modes are still preserved as a minimum.

Stability and usability fixes

• Hardened freed-node lifetime checks to prevent invalid references during async animations, targeting, and pool cleanup.

• Improved effect, coin, damage-number, and runtime-texture reuse to reduce memory growth during long sessions.

• Procedural terrain retirement is now processed in bounded batches to reduce frame spikes during large rebuilds.

• Expanded runtime memory protection and recovery so normal effects and gameplay resume after pressure subsides.

• Fixed world scaling incorrectly affecting UI scale and causing anchored interface elements to drift.
