Release Notes: Version 0.4.1695

The second patched version of the Preview. Re-released on April 2, 2021 as an external technical issue prevented the testing process to complete on April 1.

Features:

• (All the previous features)

• Fixed about two dozen issues reported by Vanguards and playtesters, including various stability and functionality fixes, such as:

  • FIX: CoAs were not being loaded on the map in some cases,

  • FIX: Freshwater not being calculated in some cases during Health check

  • FIX: Various display/map sprite rendering glitches

  • FIX: Buy/Sell checks for World Market (and warnings) were bogus

  • FIX: Herds were silently slaughtered by herdsmen no matter the settings

  • FIX: starting population could be wrong (more than it should be) in an edge case

  • FIX: Guaranteed Workforce slider increments were reversed (on Labour Assignments)

  • FIX: animation glitch on Farmland Settings during tweaking land distribution

  • FIX: Arrows to close cards could be jumped out of correct position in edge case

  • FIX: Treasury could allow negative values in some edge cases (related to construction)

  • FIX: Player Placement could be wrong in a specific edge case

  • FIX: Non tile-bound commands also showed an (invalid) coordinate and the tile icon

• World Market prices are now fractional

• Labour Assignment:

  • added Agricultural Events icons for easier planning

  • added <SHIFT> as modifier key to priority buttons, allowing an item to be sent straight to the top or bottom of the list by holding shift while clicking on the appropriate button

  • added function to copy Guaranteed Workforce of a given Labour type through the whole Season (but not whole year!)

• You can now normally cancel a command dialog by hitting <ESC> and issue the command by hitting <Enter> unless you're inside an input region.

• Added tag-based filter to Worlds scene, allowing players to filter out unwanted cards

• Modified Dashboard's filter to hide Closed games.

• Player can now jump to their Capital Feudum by clicking on the Feudums badge on the map screen.

• Player can now jump to the Manor of a Feudum by clicking on the Feudum icon of the Feudum Card.

• CHG: clicking on a command's Tile Coordinate icon (where applicable) does not select the tile anymore, just centers the screen on it (so the cards' context won't change).

• Other smaller fixes and new features.

Special Notes:

• To tweak the default display settings, press and hold CTRL while the client is loading. You can then set the main display, desired resolution and rendering quality.

• We'll provide a 32 bit version of the client on a "Best Effort" basis - you can use it and it is expected to work normally, but we couldn't test it on actual test machines like we did with the 64 bit version.

• Thank you for your support and help during the bug hunt!
