Rest time's over, it's time to get back to work! Introducing our latest update 1.00.42.


☢️ Introducing the AS 'Val' - an exclusive weapon found in raids. Magazines from VSK-94 and AS 'Val' are compatible with these weapons, offering a variety of ammunition types and damage.
☢️ Added to the arsenal is the Rifle 27 'Ghost', known for its powerful single shot. Also available in raids.
☢️ New for AS 'Val' - a specialized ammunition box.
☢️ An ammunition box is also available for the 27 'Ghost'.




🔸 Updated reloading mechanism: now bullets from gun magazines can be transferred to an ammunition box. This long-awaited feature is activated by pressing the trigger on the controller holding the box.
🔸 Fixed the issue of accidentally switching weapons with the other hand. Previously, this happened when trying to grip with the second hand unsuccessfully. Now, switching weapons is only possible through a deliberate grip on the lower handle.
🔸 Improved grip zones on the VSK-94, making it easier to reload the weapon with a mounted collimator.
🔸 Fixed some technical issues related to the use of gas masks and thermal imagers when saving the game.

Remember, Stalkers: The Zone is constantly changing, and each venture into it is a new challenge. Stay alert and cautious. Good luck! Many more exciting adventures await you!

Greetings Scavengers!

Today I set live the fourth hotfix since launch live, as I continue to react to your ideas and feedback in the steam forum and Discord.

This continues on from build 0.338, with a focus on balancing base attacks and enemies, adding more difficulty options, fixing full key rebind support, and many other minor fixes and balances.

Please do continue to let me know your thoughts! My plan right now is continue with these more hot fixes, reach some stability, and then we can focus on some other things, such as some themed updates around new features or content.

And do continue to post your bugs here or using f1, I will come to them in time.

Finally, thanks to everyone who has left the game a nice review, it really does help a lot a small game like this reach more people! 🙏

UPDATE 17/11/2023: Don't miss today's hotfix 0.342 that also adds difficulty sliders for fuel burn rate and hunger rate - allowing you to reduce or even completely halt these mechanics, for those of you who really just want to chill in space!

Important note: You do not need to adjust these sliders if you wish to have the intended experience, its just an option for those who want a more peaceful life. Leaving at 1 is the recommended way to play. You are also free to dial UP enemy levels and make attacks more common. Difficulty options have long been present in the games I loved, from Doom to Valheim, and I always planned to add them to this game. We launched without them partly as there was too much to do, and partly so I could get a read on difficulty from players.


-Atomising your own space rig items no longer affects tech level. Only rocks and trash atomising advance tech level now
-Base attacks have a 30 seconds delay before starting when triggered and entity spawn further away when they do. To allow a period of grace on return.
-Disable base attacks entirely by setting interval to max in game options
-Cap danger level to 6 (limits base attack numbers!)
-Balance and nerf to enemy damage dealt to prevent one shot deaths.
-Enemy damage now better scaled per enemy level
-Slight increase in ice drop when mining ice.
-Oxygen added to piping recipe.
-Rig Thruster fuel only needs 3 oxygen.
-1 Rig Thruster fuel now lasts 2.5 times longer.
-Fixed bug to prevent stacking wearable stats by replace swapping mods.
-Increase possible values in unknown credit wallets for better quest rewards
-Tech level increase rate is reduced slightly further. (Expect your tech level to drop slightly on existing saves).
-Repair tool is twice as effective.
-Packing tool fire rate is marginally faster
-Cannot sleep when an attack is coming
-Danger level range is scaled by tech level
-fix key rebind issues
-offer to swap duplicate rebinds
-correct issue with slider labelling in game options
-fix issue with loading tech level causing enemy levels to be set to 1 or 2 when loading game
-Corrected turret 1 power usage
-Update Game analytics label to "enable anonymized analytics" to better explain purpose
-prevent inventory black GUI underlay staying on screen after jumping
-Fixes some controller rebind glitches
-Corrected some controller binds
-Removed unused binds walk, interact 3 and interact 4
-Renamed "hovermode" to "build mode" in rebinds

Thanks!

Al.

and In case you missed earlier hotfixes this week:

Build 0.338

-Reduce laser ammo charge ingredients
-Increase rifle clip size
-Increase laser rifle projectile speed
-Turrets deal five times more damage.
-Turret recipes reduced.
-Turret 1 uses 50% less electricity.
-Tech level is clamped per quadrant: 0 to 10 in starting Quadrant, 10 to 20 Industrial, unclamped thereafter. You may need to advance tech level to trigger a change. Tech level is visible in the top right corner.
-Tech level increases 50% slower. It may drop on existing saves.
-Add attack interval slider, in game hours. (default is 50, prior builds this was 48). The precise interval is a random value around the avrg. level you set here, on a normal curve with a standard deviation of 24 hrs so note it can fall either side what you set this too. Just to be clear, if you want frequent attacks, the interval would be lower. if you want to be left alone, set it high!
-Max entity level slider (defaults to 20, prior build this value was 30, if you are happy with this by all means increase)

Build 0.337
-fix null error when saving missing structures.

Build 0.336
-prevent corridors or hatched components clipping out of spaceship hull. This will fix a glitch where you can approach and accidentally get stuck in hatch area clipping. Apologies if you got stuck in clipping areas.
-fixed rig control unity dupe on packing bug
-updated naming in blueprint shop to correctly call the quadrant Industrial and not Mining by mistake which was confusing everyone
-Updated microchip price and multiple other product prices accordingly.
-Added camera control to controller bindings
-fixed bug where players get stuck in cubes after jumping when the rig has been piloted to a different rotation
-added lithium to all farming hatch items.
-Hunter gives 2 carbon.
-Various recipe updates for balance

Hello football fans,

Here are details on what is included in Update 5:

Introducing an enhanced navigation system across multiple screens! Say hello to our new team selection dropdown, conveniently situated in the header bar. Seamlessly maneuver through various teams using a traditional dropdown menu, arrow buttons, or built-in keyboard shortcuts. Dive deep into team rosters, coaching staffs, stats, and scout potential trade targets effortlessly!



This new dropdown feature is available on:

• Roster screen
  
• Staff screen

Join us as we continue to elevate your Football Legend experience!

Hi folks!

I’m back again with more Star Wars™: The Old Republic news to share with our players! Let’s get right into it. If you recall, back in April, we tested a new cloud server in the Asia–Pacific (APAC) region which was called Shae Vizla.

I am thrilled to announce the Shae Vizla server launches November 16, 2023 for early access!

We have been wanting to spin up a server in this region for quite some time now, and with our recent technological upgrades, it is now possible to make this a reality. Over the last year, we’ve updated our launcher, upgraded the game client to 64-bit, and recently we’ve migrated all of our game servers to the cloud. All of these are a huge win for us as we continue to modernize our infrastructure enabling us to open up new areas, improve performance, and make it easier to deliver new content and manage the overall game.

This is an exciting opportunity for all players in the APAC region, whether you’re current, returning, or brand new! Shae Vizla will be a new server with no transfers available at launch. This will allow us to monitor the health of the server’s economy and simultaneously provide a space for players who want to start on a clean slate or who have never played before. In essence, opening a new server this way will feel like a new launch. Our established players can enjoy the nostalgia of the game, build new communities within APAC, and offer guidance to new players. Those who will be starting their adventure for the first time will have over 12 years of content, stories, and fun to enjoy in their Star Wars™ journey.

Now onto the launch details for Shae Vizla:

• The new server launches for Subscribers on November 16th at 1pm CT / November 17th at 6am AEDT.
  
• Subscribers will have exclusive access to the server for 24 hours before it is opened to all players.
  
• We are offering early access to subscribed players so they have the first chance to obtain their preferred character and Guild names.
  
• Players looking for an opportunity to subscribe can take advantage of our new Join the Fight bundle that includes 60 days sub, 2400 Cartel Coins, and the exclusive K-NoCo B5C mount that is rideable at level 1!
  
• The server will be open to all players on November 17th at 1pm CT / November 18th at 6am AEDT
  
• Devs will be out and about on the server alongside everyone!

I’m very pleased that we can open a server in the APAC region and work towards creating other opportunities for more players to experience a game we all love. I look forward to seeing you all on the Shae Vizla server when we go live!

-Keith Kanneg, Executive Producer of Star Wars™: The Old Republic

APAC Server FAQ is below. An FAQ for new players is also provided following the APAC list.

Where is the Shae Vizla APAC server located?

It is located in Sydney AU, same as when we opened it for testing earlier this year.

If I already created a character, can I transfer it over to the new Shae Vizla server?

Transfers will not be available at launch. Players can choose to create a new character and start from level 1 or use a level boost. We will be monitoring and observing how the community establishes its own identity, Guilds, and economy. We intend to open transfers at a later time. Timing is dependent upon our overall status review of the server at that time.

Will players be able to boost their characters to 70 or 80?

Yes. We are not removing that existing functionality from the server. The following boosts can be used:

• Master’s Datacron and Equipment
  
• Commander’s Character Token
  
• Commander’s Compendium (for companions)

How will Galactic Seasons work on the new server?

Players will find that Galactic Seasons 5 “Confidence in Power'' will be active on Shae Vizla until January 24, 2024. It will have the same end date as the other live servers, but will run for a shorter period of time.

Will my Legacy be available on the new server?

No, as that requires a character transfer, but players can use the same Legacy name.

Will I have to purchase all the perks again?

Any unlock that is an ACCOUNT WIDE unlock will be available on the Shae Vizla server, consistent with how the rest of the game works today.

How will Strongholds work?

If Strongholds were purchased with Cartel Coins, they will need to be unlocked on the new server, however, the price will be 0 credits and no additional Cartel Coins. If a Stronghold was purchased with credits, they will need to be repurchased with credits. In both cases, players will be unlocking or repurchasing a brand new Stronghold.

As players progress they’ll earn upgrades and customization options for each of their ships to build the ultimate Starfighter.

Guilds are a fantastic way to experience group content, socialize with and learn from other players, and receive a boost to the amount of experience points you earn while leveling. Each Guild can have their own Flagship, participate in Conquest, and decorate their very own Stronghold.

What are Strongholds?

Your personal home in the Star Wars™ galaxy. Players can purchase a variety of Strongholds with credits, Cartel Coins, or Galactic Seasons tokens. Each Stronghold is unique in design and can be decorated with thousands of items that can be purchased, earned, or found out in the universe.
