The second update to Hydra Lists has been a bit more difficult than I anticipated. Because of this, this update only includes referencing other books and some bug fixes. Adding variables to lists will be coming out in an update next week.

So whats new?

Referencing other books in lists
A much requested feature, users are now able to reference lists in other books! To do this, use the format:

{MY BOOK@LIST IN BOOK}

and it will grab a result from the specified list in the specified book. Similar to updating list names, updating the name of the book will update references to that book in any and all lists!

Chinese translation
Hydra Lists has now been translated into Chinese as has been requested by several users. A big thanks to steam user 羽川, who did an excellent translation of the beginners guide.

Minor bug fixes
There were a couple of bugs associated with autosave:

• Creating a new book in odd edge cases
  
• Weird saving issues when changing the list type of a list

Next update will have list variables, which users will be able to define and use repeatedly in a list, and autocomplete functions when typing book references.

Small hot fix to address a few minor issues and problems. Sorry for the rapid fire fixes, but we have some great players in discord just going nuts on the game atm finding every issue they can. You guys are great, but hopefully this is last hot fix for a few days.

- Due to translation issue the hall of fame section menu was empty for release hall of fame

- Restart in paragon menu caused your genre to reset to action. You can now pick a new genre and perk if you make use of this quick reset option.

- The close option for the difficulty review menu inside of hard mode was not working correctly, it now does.

- I accidentally left a dog inside of office 4 when I was testing / fixing the previous navigation mesh issue. As you might expect they did not like each other. The extra dog has now been removed.

If you pre-purchased Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered on PC, the title was incorrectly priced in these markets;

• Australia
  
• Israel
  
• New Zealand
  
• Norway
  
• Poland
  
• Switzerland
  
• UK

We have now fixed this issue. Other markets have not been affected. If you pre-purchased the title AND are from any of the above markets, you will want to follow the steps below to ensure you receive the correct lower price.

1. Cancel your current pre-purchase of Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered on PC to receive a full refund
   
2. Pre-purchase Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered again to receive the corrected lower price point before August 12th to receive early unlock bonuses

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Greetings, mighty gladiators!

In today's update, the long awaited enchanting and forging systems have arrived in-game.

Any blueprints or runes you have found on your travels or bought from shops can now be used at the forge and the enchanter.

At the forge, blueprints can be used to strengthen both armour and weapons. You can use up to two blueprints per item. A spatha could become a 'Strong Spatha', and then a 'Strong Spatha of Kings', for example.

At the enchanters, you can etch runes upon your weapons to enhance them with things like fire damage, poison damage and so on.

A word of caution - if you find any of your existing runes / blueprints playing up ( crashing the game ), sell them at the shop and buy new ones. This *probably* won't happen for you but I did encounter it early on in testing, I think I put a workaround for it but let me know if it doesn't play nice.

There are also the usual bugfixes and balances, I hope you like this patch. Next week I'll be bringing some new champions into the game!

Cheers, Oliver Joyce

— 2 new news events: Car Bomb and Army Corruption

Car Bomb
In recent days, a spree of car bombs have detonated across cities controlled by the Scarian Army, apparently targeting railway stations, police stations, markets, and government buildings. Many civilians and soldiers have been killed. While the government's spokespeople claim that the Revolutionaries are to blame, the Revolutionaries counter that the attacks are false flags planned by Akadullah to strike fear in Scarian hearts.

Army Corruption (Day 45 or later)
Recent reports state that "Akadullah is furious" over rampant corruption in the highest levels of his Army. Some of his soldiers have been actively avoiding combat and retreating from confrontations with Revolutionaries. There are even whispers of a "whitelist" - a list of anti-government combatants who are to receive special treatment from the Army, such as being spared from heavy firepower and elite squadrons.

— 2 new camp events: Scrapped Vehicle and Comrade's Request

Scrapped Vehicle
XX was fortunate enough to stumble upon a scrapped vehicle from an unknown local fighting force. We may be able to salvage some valuable parts from its shell.

Comrade's Request
XX wishes to temporarily leave the team to handle some personal affairs with an "old acquaintance" in the area. While they are reluctant to discuss their true intentions, whether they are sending a gift or a barrage of bullets is none of your concern.

We appreciate your continued love and support for Home Behind 2! As always, we will continue to follow our published development roadmap, and are on track to release another update this coming November.

Warbox System Requirements have been updated. A lot of players that have been reporting performance issues may possibly be below these standards. Before this change, the minimum specs were as high as a GTX 1050 GPU. Make sure you verify that your PC is above minimum specs before buying the game. The minimum requirements were increased due to the new use of technology in Unreal Engine 5, Lumen Global Illumination, Nanite, and Metahumans.

Also read on the Unreal Engine 5 system requirements if your PC is below Warbox's minnimum requirements but you still want to see if you can run the engine.
