Clearer quest dialogue and more reliable audio

Marque & Reprisal · published · build 26396064

This update fixes long quest instructions, a voyage carryover error, and several audio problems in the full game and demo.

Quests and voyages

  • Long commission instructions now continue onto another page when needed. Decisions appear after the complete instructions, with readable text at its normal size in every language.
  • Fixed an old captain selection lingering after a voyage, which could prevent carrying an item into the next voyage.

Sound and startup

  • Music, ambience and sound effects now share one audio output, reducing the resources used by overlapping sounds.
  • Fixed three sound effects that could fail to play, including card sounds.
  • Unused sound variants load when needed rather than all at startup.
  • Improved Linux startup compatibility under Steam when an X11 display is available, while preserving explicit display-platform choices.

Reliability

  • Expanded automated checks to play every bundled sound through both browser and desktop audio systems.
  • Improved diagnostic detail for blocked NPC routes.
