Changelog v2.2.21.127494

 

New Content

 

Enabled 15 Olympus missions as Operations

 

 

Fixed

 

Tweak alignment/positioning of Workshop items to be more uniform with each category

Removed Prometheus from Kiwi bestiary entry

Allow scrolling on bestiary entries with more than 6 loot options

Fixed cat from not attaching to hip properly by adding 'back' context for meshable entry

Add DT validation to pickup on entries with Hip focusable without Meshable setup correctly

Updated the Iron buildable skeletal meshs with positive/negative bounds set and reimported iron gate with softened normals

Reducing sky light's contact shadow length from 0.2 -> 0.04, should result in less 'fuzzy' shadows, especially noticable on shadows cast by deployables on building pieces

W_ProjectionInterface::UpdateNearbyProjectionActors now compares existing widgets using their desired soft widget class (instead of using whatever class they happened to have equipped at the time) - this will hopefully fix issues where crop plot information is shown while highlighting thigs that aren't crop plots

Updated the iron buildable stairs to have the correct material assigned on the destructible mesh

Update Shadow settings on Atmosphere Controller:

4x CSM distance, increased FarShadow cascade count from 1 to 2 and 2x FarShadow distance. Halved Moon light CSM distance to match Sun distance

Removed CSM value being updated on tick (now on Ultra-Slow Tick), set the value based off the Settings value, not off a curve

These changes should largely alleviate long-standing shadow artifacts (at a negligable performance cost), with some additional world changes coming to further improve.

Players can now utilize the Max Shadow Cascades setting to have better control over shadow performance vs visuals

Replaced old iron buildable icons to new ones

Update cart attachments talent icon

Fix Icebox, Refrigerator and Deep Freeze modifier names and descriptions being empty

Fix farming cart attachment talent unlock order

Fix glass double door left/right upgrade lookup

Fixing Entry in D_Saddles that was preventing the Desert Saddle from being put on the Moa

Fixed bug in mission LUPINE: Extermination where beacon wouldn't grant the correct stat and would soft-lock the mission until player found another way to show world bosses on map

Fixed issue where guns with magazines couldn't be reloaded if they were brought down by a client using the Orbital Exchange Interface

Fixed plow attachments breaking at 0 durability, allowed them to be repaired with right click (requires ranching station)
