Important changes for performance
What have the developers changed? The main changes of the patch concern the performance of the game. On Steam, the developers explain that they have added a new feature in the settings that allows forcing a relay connection.
If activated, it increases connection stability, but at the cost of ping. If you frequently lose connection to the server, it might be worth trying this option.
If you had an Ä, an Ö, or a Ü in your Windows name, this could also lead to crashes – but the developers have fixed that now.
For performance, the developers have reduced unnecessary CPU usage on inactive servers and clients, decreased disk usage during gameplay, and made several improvements to ship performance when hosting a server.
Thanks to some bug fixes, there should also be fewer crashes from now on.
What new features are there? Although the patch is more about technology than features, the developers have integrated some new elements. They have reduced the crafting costs of various components and made the following changes:
- Added about 40 missing triangular wall pieces for various roof angles
- Supplemented 3 missing triangular floor elements for multiple building sets
- Added 4 new variants for planting beds
- Supplemented new sound effects for plant growth phases
- Added new sounds when harvesting fully grown plants
- Drowned ranged attacks now have acoustic cues – they scream before throwing a projectile
- Added new visual effects for plant growth
- Supplemented new visual effects when harvesting on the farm
- The campfire atmosphere has been musically extended by 3 minutes
- The ambient music during the ship voyage has been extended by 40 seconds
The full and really long patch notes can also be found on Steam in German. There you will also find the smallest changes of the patch.
