Icarus – Version 1.2.43.108956 – Patch notes, changelog, download

Optimisation

• Reworked creature spawning to be spread over multiple frames. This should reduce hitches when new animals spawn in
• Removed overlap events from various collision objects on animals and changed some components to be non-physical. This should improve performance with animals moving around
• Fixed duplicate spawn of aim assist component on animals
• Fixed aim assist component triggering multiple overlap updates during spawn
• Removed root motion from idle animations for Buffalo
• Made talent trees share a pool of popups rather than each having their own. This has a significant impact on load times when changing maps (about 5 seconds faster)
• Fixed case where UI popups were waiting for a valid UI on dedicated servers. (Dedicated servers never have a UI)
• Improved performance of talent requirement check by avoiding data lookups where possible
• Fixed settings from auto saving during initial load and then recursively rebuilding their widgets
• Fixed settings screen from being constructed multiple times when the UI first gets built
• Prevented multiple refreshes from happening in one frame in the cheat overlay
• Fixed deep vein ore deposits setting their material twice on the servers during startup
• Moved map manager saving of map state to code. Merged map manager save data gathering functions to prevent additional iterations of the map tiles
• Cached a lookup of the replication state of stats to allow for faster replication updates when stats change
• Fixed stat container updates triggering multiple events per rebuild
• Removed all critical hit logic from stats system. Critical hit afflictions are now handled by a new column in the StatAfflictions table. The only stat that was still using this was the chance to immobilise on throwing knife crit
• Fixed issue where hits against inanimate objects were being considered as crits
• Envirosuit slots no longer get rebuilt every time the players stat container updates
• Removed expensive gathering function from atmosphere controller. Replaced calls to directly grab the variables that are being used instead
• Changed dropship parts to no longer tick, and they no longer animate while not rendered as it was still happening in the background
• Disabled collision with the dropship door (while landed)
• Objects that can be sit on no longer tick when they aren’t in use
• Moved some audio systems tick to during physics as they do not contribute to actor positions
• Disabled overlaps on the root mesh of equipped items
• Disabled overlaps on tree proxies
• Optimised some calls to the firearm controller in the players anim bp
• Prevented armour meshes from being created on dedicated servers
• Improved item trait retrieval speeds of several traits
• Added missing D_StatAfflictions from previous commit
• Fixed issues with blueprint tooltips not showing alteration packs correctly
• Fixed issues with blueprint tooltips adding a copy of the set bonuses text each time the tooltip is hovered

Fixed

• Updates and improvements to distancing for the transport pod. Removing old profilers
• Update Maximum Loops to prevent PIE crash in new missions.
• REMNANT: Added failsafe tracking of radar scan locations (will now additionally be marked as complete if there is a scan in the area at any time, note this may not fix missions in-progress)
• Fix enzyme geyser audio, which was broken due to a change to OverlapAudioComponent which resulted in non-unique component names in subcomponents. Fixed by changing subcomponent ownership from the owning actor to the overlap component itself
• Remove execution pins from a new storm particle system that was added for DLC and is making it look like existing weather is severe (internal only)
• FIRE WALK: Re-apply cannot decay modifier on crate after reload to prevent cases where the modifier fails to load
• Fixing up Item Static which had some things marked incorrectly as DEV
• Fixing up Item Static which had some things marked incorrectly as DEV again
• IRONCLAD: Added failsafe for loss of snap points
• Fixed bug where animation played when receiving a new modifier sometimes obstructed crosshair
