Ahoy Hearties,

I'm Kuba, the designer of Frigato. I encourage you to take a look at what has happened on board of Frigto in the last month.

Avast Ye! Check the video to see more details from the port level and most of plunder we have made in November



Balance changes - Samuel no longer has infinite knives. Now you have to pick it up to throw it again.
It's really important to make this skill not overpowered while being fun to use!




User interface -We have added quite a lot here:




🏴‍☠️ New stylized skills indicators
🏴‍☠️ Outline to the enemy with active viewcone
🏴‍☠️ Outline to the selected hero, which should make things more clear.
🏴‍☠️ New sneaking button on the UI so you can hide even while sipping tea.
🏴‍☠️ Improved viewcone - the texture is now transparent and the fill efect is round fitting the shape better.




Snapping system improvements - When using skills, your hero will snap to the enemy making it easier to catch them!




Other stuff

🏴‍☠️ Zombie soldiers are no longer possible to be attacked by the player since they were unkillable anyway
🏴‍☠️ The Monk has some new animations. He can finally attack.


Yo Ho Ho Seadogs,
Until our next voyage, hold fast!

The World Map has been improved much farther through lighting improvements, model and code optimization and UI updates.


In the image below, the side panel with various options remains on screen at all times. It can be used to access Party Management and the Archive. However, the options for services like Shops, Guilds and Stables become available only on entering a location that offers these services, such as Towns.




Once you click on a location, Arlys walks over to it. In case it is a battle, he will plant a flag into the ground, ready to conquer the location.



There are a few different kinds of objective icons in the World Map:

1. Red Exclamation - Indicates a battle.
   
2. Yellow Exclamation - Indicates narrative progression.
   
3. Yellow Dot- Indicates an available location.

Hovering the mouse over any of these icons, will display the location information and also give a snapshot of the services available in the location.

Gameplay stream is on!

Hello everyone,

The menu now has 9 leaderboards on display, so pick your favorite combat skill and get your name in front of the community!

8 of the leaderboards reset monthly, so there is always another chance to show your dominance in War Dust.

From left to right:

Lifetime scorers : summary of total score in all your matches
Monthly scorers : as above, but wiped monthly
Monthly scorers Best average per match : Average Total score per match, wiped monthly
Monthly killers : Summary of difference between your kills and deaths, only against real players.
Monthly killers average : as above, except it’s not the summary, but average per match
Monthly Conquerors : average amount of points captured per match (by points I mean capture points)
Monthly stabbers : summary of kills by knife (bot kills included)
Monthly WD maniacs : summary of matches played
Monthly snipers : summary of kills by AWP with distance over 100 meters (bot kills included)

Today is the first day of new month, so all monthly leaderboards got its winners.
Last month it was a test run of them, so starting next month we will prepare prizes for top players (custom parachute skins)
There is one thing to improve (on next updates) : average based leaderboards will not show players with less than 10 total matches played in the month (this is already taken into consideration on final monthly list of winners)

So here are the November 2022 winners :

Top scorer (total) : @basil 0519 [K.O.B.K.] - 8614648
Top scorer (average per match) : juan7923 - 32948
Top killer (total k-d) : @GUNSHADOW(F.C.) - 1231
Top killer (average per match k-d) : @GUNSHADOW(F.C.) - 6.31
Top conqueror (average per match) : @andr0n3 - 5.4591
Top stabber (total) : @Chad ThunderCuck - 753
Top WD maniac (total matches played) : @basil 0519 [K.O.B.K.] - 146
Top sniper (total) : Little Pink Bunny - 451

Congratulations!

Celebrate the launch of our Early Access version together with the Team behind Zombie Cure Lab live on Steam!

When? 7th of December from 11.00 AM until 4.30 PM CET.

In the first 24 hours, you all have slain 405,102,858 heretics, and 798,747 rejects have been declared missing in combat! But today is a new day here on Tertium, and we are releasing a hotfix for the first 24 hours of the release of Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. This hotfix contains various crash and bug fixes. We have also included a list of known issues we are currently working on resolving.

• Fixed a client crash when dodging while not having any weapon equipped.
  
• Fixed crash issues when view is not completely loaded.
  
• Fixed a crash after opening inventory & other menu (such as premium store) simultaneously.
  
• Fixed other various unspecifiable crashes.
  
• Fixed join permissions that were causing broken reconnects sometimes.
  
• Issue where people on 3000 series cards would see their settings as N/A is now fixed.
  
• Fixed invisible weapon stats.

• Ray tracing is currently disabled for AMD and Intel GPU users while investigating issues related to our support for these GPU's. We are working closely with our hardware partners to resolve this as soon as possible. Until then, ray tracing is turned off by default to avoid any issues in playing the game.
  
• Ray tracing optimization and performance. This is an area we continue to work on, and we see issues with performance.
  
• We currently don’t support users on IPv6-only networks. This often means a player requires a VPN to play the game. The intention is to support IPv6 in the near future.
  
• In the Weapon Detail Screen, there is a known crash when inspecting the weapon damage breakdown of most weapons (e.g. lasgun torch).
  
• Sudden crash to desktop with dialogue popup - often called “GPU Hang.”
  
• Switching between windowed mode and fullscreen can result in adjusted resolution and deadlock in some rare cases.
  
• Working on delivering missing Twitch Drops to a select few players. We hope to have this resolved within a week.
  
• Inability to merge strike teams. If you pick to merge your strike team at the end of a mission, it will currently not work and will display a version mismatch error.
  
• Some users may not have some premium currency packs available on Microsoft Store.
  
• Some users may be missing their Imperial Edition cosmetics, pre-order bonuses, and beta tester helmets. We are working on resolving this issue so you all receive appropriate cosmetics as expected. For more information, please visit this link.
  
• We are aware the Imperial Edition Thunderhammer looks different than our promotional material. We are working on updating the Thunderhammer skin to the correct one in a future patch.
  
• We are aware that 100% toughness is not functioning as expected. We are currently investigating a fix so it works as intended.

The first snowfalls have arrived in Albion, and the nights are growing colder. It’s the time of year to put up ornaments, dance, drink, and be merry. But everywhere there is a confused silence, and the streets lay bare. The gifts haven’t arrived! Will Yuletide be canceled?

Then a bell rings in the distance, and soon the beating of hooves can be heard as steam emanates from broad, bovine nostrils. Rejoice: the Yuletide Yak has arrived bearing gifts!
