Patch Notes: Field fixes - sails, voyages, the lantern, crashes and Soul Cakes
Sailing
- Sails work again after loading a save. A save made in a dungeon or building kept the indoors' calm, and a load that woke you outdoors (online, a dungeon save always wakes you at a temple or town) brought it out to sea: under sail your ship drifted while the oars still rowed. A load outdoors now has the outdoors' wind.
Quests at sea
- "Under Sail" counts your voyage in any boat. A slow boat - a rowboat, or a Large Boat in a light wind - had its departure counted from the edge of the harbour instead of the quay, so short trips down the coast never counted. The voyage now counts from where you last lay still.
- Running aground in the next harbour, or leaving the helm as you come in, now counts as making port.
- A voyage survives a reload or a crash between the two ports.
- Pencart's harbour can be reached (its water had all been counted as Longham's).
- The harbourmaster now says what counts: the harbour of another port a quarter league off or more. "The Packet Lanes" says the same.
The lantern slot
- A lantern lit with O (or Use, or the hotbar) shows in the Lantern slot, where it hangs at your hip - not on the shield's panel.
- O lights the lantern in your Lantern slot first, a hung lantern lights with both hands full, and the hotbar's lantern no longer takes your shield off.
Crashes and black screens
- Fixed a memory leak in winter snow: every map area you travelled through stayed in memory, about 1.8 MB each - long journeys could run the game out of memory.
- Fixed a rare stall where the world stopped loading new ground for the rest of the session (offline play, about one area in 37).
- On the desktop app, a game that stops now says so and why, and offers Restart, instead of leaving a black window. A game that stops responding offers Wait or Restart. The reason is kept in
crash.logbeside your saves - please include it in a bug report.
The Witches' Festival
- Soul Cakes have a daily limit of 120, and the game now tells you when you reach it and the time more can be found (midnight UTC, shown in your own time). The Wyrd Sister's window shows how many you have found today.
