🐛🐛🐛 v1.4.4 - [BUG] Crash on Matching 🐛🐛🐛

- Fixed bug causing some players to crash when matching cards

Thanks so much to everyone assisting me in finding these bug. Together, they don't stand a chance ;).
You help more then you know, keep up the great work Pixel Flippers!! :)

Part of our 10+ year journey as game developers has been constantly working to improve every aspect of our games with each new release. If you’ve been with us for a while, you’ve seen, and heard, this evolution in each game. For soundtracks, our studio has progressed from buying non-exclusive tracks from online markets to hiring our own team and lovingly composing original soundtracks from scratch.

Today, we’re taking an exciting new step forward for both our studio and Cyber Knights: Flashpoint with the release of Reactive Music: dynamic, engine-controlled music layering that reacts to your gameplay, building tension when you’re close to being discovered or amping up the excitement as your shoot-out intensifies.


^^^ Not trying to play well here at all, just trying to illicit big changes from the reactive music's tension system

Because of the success of our Kickstarter, we were able to upgrade Cyber Knight’s audio engine early on to use Wwise, a much more feature-rich interactive audio solution for games, made by Audiokinetic. It’s made it easy for us to integrate SFX across Cyber Knights’ tactical encounters with all of your squads’ abilities and interactions.

Now, working with our composers and sound designers at Studio Viking, we’ve rigged up the game’s soundtrack with dynamics unparalleled in any previous Trese Brothers release. We’re no longer just looping songs from a static soundtrack - by using Wwise with Unity, the game’s audio engine can process and mix individual instruments, movements and tempos rather than just starting and stopping static tracks.


This means the music will now match itself to game events as they’re happening real-time in your heist. As the gameplay tension rises, guards start to become suspicious, a body is found or the first shots are fired - the game feeds this into the music engine as a tension rating and musical mode that cues the reactive music component on how to mutate, change tempo, add and remove musical instruments and intensify the mix to match your gameplay moment.

As the tension increases and wanes within a level - as more reinforcements arrive, or as Head Hunters kick down the door, or you kill the last guard who knows you’re in the building - the music can dramatically shift to follow the rise or drop in threat.


This is a huge step up for the game’s sound experience. This not only completes the Reactive Music major milestone on our roadmap, but adds all of the other tracks (and their component elements for Reactive Music to use) from the game’s soundtrack that weren’t yet included in the game, increasing the variety of in-game music by more than tenfold.

We have also received a lot of feedback about the sound effects and the music in Cyber Knights: Flashpoint. This patch addresses some of them and we are working to incorporate more of that feedback into upcoming patches. We’ve adjusted several audio effects, mixes and made platform improvements that should help resolve several of the higher priority issues.


We've improved the catalog of matrix templates again for solo hacker missions as well as matrix hosts used in across the proc-gen missions with SCU and APU available. Every push to increase these helps us strive for a point where every proc-gen map, objective, matrix host combination is reaching a tipping point of uniqueness as these catalogs continue to grow.


With this update, we've completed some needed rebalance for Soldier's Coordinated Charge and Cybersword's Deflection Field.
First, we've reduced power on Coordinated Charge, removing the ability to get a second max charge. With the recharge rate, ability to extend duration, this Talent can already be almost omnipresent so this helps bring it back into a fairer spot within the meta. In addition, the final upgrade that gives +1 MP no longer adds +5% Move Speed, leaving the total achievable Move Speed at +25%.

Cybersword's Deflection Shield has received a 6th upgrade node which can enable you to drop the shield for 0 AP and only an IO-Batt charge from your blade. This can be really helpful in those clutch situations where the AP are just too tight, so consider this new upgrade!

The Decoy II and III programs' have both received an improvement, a minor buff to their armor and a reduction in program rating so they are viable on more decks. Decoy II is up to +4 Armor (which matters all the more now that Hacker's brains are bleeding more!) and has had a Program Rating reduction and Decoy III is at +6 Armor with an even bigger Program Rating reduction.

Enjoy making those IC and the Q-Sec Escalation miss!


Thanks to all the players sharing feedback and chatting with us in Discord. With your help, we've improved the pricing matrix for low level armor and weapons you can get at the beginning of the game. All of the prices have come down a bit, so remember to go shopping when you've got some U-Dahs after your latest heist.

We've improved the story events if you ignore the starting Vanguard's Cube Run mission. Don't do it - it is not exciting, and the Vanguard just gets mad. But before we had missed the consequence here and nothing was said and no one cared. That said - go on the mission! z

- Added reactive music system - game music now responds to rising stealth and combat tension, varies music intensity
- Major increase in variety of music in missions
- Added 5 new matrix hosts maps to hack-only and proc-gen missions

- Added 6th upgrade option for Cybersword's Deflection Field to reduce cost to -1 AP
- Fixed issue with Chameleon Sheathe implant blocking Stealth Armor from being equipped

From winning battles against cheats, to squashing game-breaking bugs - this is more than just your regular update!🔥

Strayed Update 0.1.9.0 brings in more than just a few changes and fixes. We're introducing deep improvements to our anti-cheat system and dramatic quality-of-life improvements à la server migrations and bug-squishing!

Let's delve more into what we've done for this update!






Since time immemorial, the islands have had its fair share of cheaters trying to take unfair advantage over our real players. Since then, we've been working hard to be more than a step ahead of these so-ridiculously-called "hackers".

We're glad to inform you that our efforts aren't in vain - as we have gone a long way since starting the battle. Within the last two weeks, our team were all-hands-on-deck on improving our anti-cheat system. In short - we're very happy with the amount of progress we've made against Strayed cheats.

But the battle continues. For as long as we're working on the game, we won't stop fighting against cheaters as we continue to bring the best experience for each Strayer out there.






Lately, we have had issues in-game that we were addressing by restarting our servers - however - problems came up with unstable backups leading to more issues and unfavorable experiences for our players.

We're happy to let you know that we've dramatically improved our backup stability by migrating our servers from SQLite to MySQL. This should mitigate (if not, completely eliminate) data loss whenever our servers restart.






You may have noticed that we haven't had major additions to the game lately.

We'd love for you to know that we're focused on developing our Water Content, which is a particularly large update coming very soon. This is majorly our reason for not adding a lot of features and changes recently.

Another major reason are the updates mentioned above. While we're eager to commit to our roadmap of features, we felt that laying the groundwork would do well for everyone involved - especially our players. We wanted to make sure that everything's running smoothly before we add more stuff to the game.

Fret not, Strayer - we're working hard to bring not just the Water Content but more as soon as possible. We assure you that you'll be first to know once they're coming!




Besides the additions and news above, here's what's on the 0.1.9.0 changelog:

Additions:

• Scrap barrels now spawn along roadsides
  
• Servers can now display messages on the loading screen

Changes:

• Server backups are more stable (We moved from Sqlite to MySQL)

Fixes:

• Tons of cheat exploits
  
• "Server is full" bug
  
• Bug preventing some quest players from loading into servers
  
• Increased speed of “baking terrain” loading stage

Known Issues:

• Biweekly and other large servers sometimes timeout on Meta Quest 2 & 3
  
• Voice server may suddenly stop working
