Hotfix [2024-06-26] June 26

Hello everyone,
New Hotfix out now:

 

Changes:

  • Cargo ships do no longer consume power while idling in queue. (Existing cargo ships will only be fixed after rebuilding the pad.)

 

Fixes:

  • Fixed a bug that caused some conveyor balancers to stop working after loading a game.
  • Fixed an issue causing coked ignium to not show up as a filterable element on the filtered loaders.
  • Reduced memory usage when autosaving which should fix some crashes that were occuring when autosaving on dedicated servers/steam decks.
  • Launching the dedicated server through the Steam client should no longer cause the main Foundry game to look like it's running.
  • Fixed a crash that could occur when toggling day/night using the camera tools when connected to a dedicated server.
  • Improved dedicated server save file transfer speed.

 

Have a nice day!

Hotfix #2 [2024-05-16]

Hello everyone!
Today's hotfix has a couple of critical fixes for you. We have also started work on a much larger quality of life/bug fix patch. If you're interested in more details or if you want to give it a try, you can find more information here on our Discord server.

 

Changelog:

  • Fixed a bug/crash that could occur when using transport ships.
  • Fixed a crash that could occur when deconstructing buildings.

 

We are also aware of Steam Deck multiplayer issues since the last update. We are testing a fix for this but in the mean time you can work around this by switching to Proton 8.
