Hotfix v1.1.19.3 for Treacherous Tides
 
Hello everyone!
 
We've just released a second hotfix for the Treacherous Tides update, now with a longer list of changes to address issues discovered since the update's release. Please be sure to update your game to the latest version, and see the full list of changes just below.
 
 
v1.1.19.3
 
- Fixed shrapnel from flak cannon ammo always launching upwards.
- Fixed wall damage shrapnel going through walls and being a little excessive overall.
- Fixes to pressure distribution logic: fixes pressure sometimes being lethal in breached rooms that weren't full of water.
- Fixed clients not regaining control of their braindead character after rejoining if the character's taken any amount of damage while braindead.
- Fixes to inconsistent stack sizes (e.g. certain ammo types stacking up to 12 in character inventories, but only 8 holdable/wearable items like backpacks and toolbelts.
- Fixed console errors when switching subs with circuit boxes on board.
- Fixed items that are inside a container that doesn't get transferred getting duplicated during item transfer when switching subs.
- Fixed bots not cleaning up circuit boxes from the floor.
- Fixed stack size being displayed incorrectly in the tooltip when dragging a stack of items to an already-occupied slot.
- Fixed nav terminal's docking button not working if the signal is routed from the terminal to the docking port through a circuit box.
- Fixed double-clicking a component while a circuit box is equipped making the component vanish inside the circuit box.
- Fixed chat messages sent when accusing someone as a traitor not triggering the spam filter.
- Fixed connection names not being translated in circuit boxes (always showed up in English).
- Fixed right-side crew panel overlapping with the mission panel in the PvP mode round summary.
- Fixed depleted and fulgurium fuel rods stacking up to 32 (should be 8 like all other fuel rods).
 

Traitors:
- Three new Danger Level 1 traitor events: Exhibitionism, Firing Blanks, The Original Honkero.
- Five new multi-traitor events: Gnawing Cold, The Clobbery Robbery, Husk Roulette, Duck Side of the Moon, Powered by Faith.
- Fixed "Insurgency" achievement not unlocking when completing a traitor event.
- Fixed traitor-specific items sometimes being requested by stores.
- Fixed visibility checks in some traitor events having infinite range.
- Don't allow the victim's body to despawn in the "dead or alive" event because it'd interfere with completing the event (others finding the body).
 
Optimization:
- Significant optimization to situations where a bot is idling and has trouble finding a path to another hull. Caused performance issues in colonies in particular.
- Fixed a memory leak that caused the memory usage to increase every round.
- Fixed firing turrets (or doing any other action that spawns lots of new entities) causing an enormous performance drop in some situations. Had to do with specific scripted events re-checking their targets whenever a new entity spawned, which was needlessly heavy and was done unnecessarily often.
- Miscellaneous small optimizations.
- Optimized labels (large labels with a scaled down texture in particular were unnecessarily heavy).
- Optimized Watcher's status effects.
 
Multiplayer:
- Option to hide servers from the server list.
- Option to report inappropriate servers on the server list.
- Added "MinimumMidRoundSyncTimeout" server setting. Determines how long the server waits for a mid-round joining client to get in sync before disconnecting them.
- Fixed workshop item downloads sometimes getting stuck when opting to install server mods from the workshop. Happened if the mod had already been installed, was in the process of being installed, or if it couldn't be installed for some reason.
- Fixed dedicated servers with lots of mods enabled not showing up in the server browser.
- Fixed Text and NPCConversation files being required to be in sync between clients and the server, meaning if you were using a mod that changes the game to a different language, it'd get disabled when you joined a server that's not using the mod.
- Fixed lack of unban option in the "manage client" menu and the client context menu.

Hotfix v1.3.0.4
 
Hello everyone, we've just released a second hotfix to address the multiplayer server crashes ongoing since last week. We are very sorry for the trouble and will continue to monitor the situation, but we are hopeful this fix should complete our countermeasures against these exploits being used to crash servers.
 
Please make sure to update your game to the latest version – the fix may take some time to apply as both clients and servers need to restart and update, so if you are still experiencing the server issue immediately after the update, please restart Barotrauma and Steam, and request that the server host do the same.
 
Please note that some source code mods, for example the very popular Lua for Barotrauma mod, need to be updated following this update. Servers using these mods will have some additional delay in the fix taking effect.
 
We wish everyone smooth sailing and thank you for your patience!

Hotfix v1.6.19.1 for the Unto the Breach Update
 
Hello everyone!
 
We have just released the second hotfix addressing additional issues in the Unto the Breach update. Make sure to update your game to the latest version, and see the list of changes below.
 
v1.6.19.1
 
- Fixed chat input box getting cleared whenever someone changes their team, or when the game mode or team selection mode changes.
- Fixed stun resistance PvP setting doing nothing.
- Made Crimson Acid less powerful against large monsters.
- Fixed everyone's name tags being shown in red until you spawn when you join a campaign mid-round.
- Fixed stackable items with a non-default quality (e.g. grenades) failing to stack in the fabricator's output slot, instead just falling to the floor.
- Fixed very large PvP outposts often clipping into the level walls.
- Fixed decorative structures such as background walls not showing up on hostile (non-player) subs in multiplayer.
- Fixed "giveitem" command crashing the game when used with no arguments.
- Fixed Gravity Flak Shell's "gravity pull effect" being affected by gravity.
- Fixed Fulgurium Batteries sometimes spawning automatically in tools at the start of a campaign.
- Changed cargo scooter recipe to be more consistent with the normal scooter recipe (Underwater Scooter + x2 Ti-Al Alloy).
 
Modding:
- Fixed freezes / lag spikes in multiplayer when a scripted event uses StatusEffectAction when there's lots of mods with custom events enabled.

Hotfix v.1.8.8.1 for the Calm Before the Storm update
 
Hello everyone!
 
We have just released a hotfix to address a number of issues with the Calm Before the Storm update.
Find the list of changes below, and remember to update your game to the latest version to receive the fixes!
 
v1.8.8.1
 
- Fixed client list often appearing empty in the server lobby when joining mid-round while a campaign was active.
- Fixed job variant selection panel rendering below the job selection panel, often making it unusable.
- Fixed job variant selection only working in the server lobby, not in the tab menu mid-round.
- Fixed inability to preview loadouts if there's only one variant of a job available (e.g. assistants).
- Fixed fires no longer spreading from room to room.
- Fixed a pathfinding issue that sometimes caused both to get stuck running back and forth towards the target they're trying to reach (one common place where this occurred was Barsuk's engine room).
- Fixed non-hitscan projectiles such as harpoons launching with an incorrect rotation when fired to the left.
- Fixed Herja not having any assistant or non-job-specific spawnpoints, causing assistants and custom classes to spawn at other classes' spawnpoints, potentially giving them ID card tags they shouldn't have.
- Autoinjectors no longer inject meds on dead characters (even though they are technically below the health threshold at which the autoinjection should trigger).
- Fixed team argument not working on the "spawncharacter" console command when spawning non-humans.
- Fixed some edge chunk objects in hydrothermal wastes and the great sea spawning in front of the level walls.
- Fixed missing gap in one of the new crew modules, which prevented water and oxygen from flowing through the module properly.
 
Modding:
- Fixed transferring afflictions to a newly spawned character using status effects causing a crash if the original character had already been removed. Didn't affect any vanilla content.

v1.11.4.1

 

Changes and additions:

- Wallaby, a new tier 2 Attack class submarine. Boasts an unexpectedly high amount of firepower for its size, while also providing a full set of fabrication facilities, but also includes weak points in the pipe system which can cause water hazards inside the sub.

- Added valves and weakpoints. Weakpoints are pipes that can break, causing a water hazard (which floods the submarine and is hard to pass).

- Weakpoints are repairable with a wrench. Turning off a valve makes it easier to repair, but makes any linked pumps not work while the valve is closed

- Wall weakpoints have their condition linked to a wall. This means these walls cannot be cut as a shortcut between rooms

- Added level background visuals to the sub editor's test mode to make it easier to see what the sub looks like in the actual in-game environments.

- Balancing combat mission NPCs: improved the higher-level enemy NPCs and gave them better gear.

- Made the rotation tool snap to 1-degree increments and the scale tool snap to 0.1 increments in the sub editor. Holding Shift while using the tools temporarily disables snapping.

- Added 2 more input and output connections (0 and 9) to circuit boxes to make it match the mux/demux components and use 0-indexing like other components.

- Increased the number of signal connections on relays from 2 to 5.

- You can no longer revive characters with CPR when the character has no oxygen available (e.g. by giving CPR to someone wearing a diving suit with an empty oxygen tank). Not only was this weird, it made it easy to farm medical skill by repeatedly reviving the character with CPR.

 

Hotfix v1.12.7.0 for the Spring Update
 
Hello everyone!
 
 
We have just released a hotfix to address issues found since the release of the Spring Update. Please be sure to update your game to the latest version, and see the list of changes below.
 
 
v1.12.7.0
 
 
- Reduced how much the new weak points in vanilla subs push bots around to make them more capable of fixing broken weak points.
 
- Fixed selecting any item that forces the character to some pose (chairs, periscopes) getting logged in the server console.
 
- Mac only: added a button for settings mic permissions to the audio settings. It seems that on Mac, the game updates may cause the OS to revoke the permissions.
 
- Fixed some of the Workshop tags you can choose in-game not working on Steam's side.
 
Modding:
 
- Fixed contained items being misaligned on attachable items (e.g. in mods that make diving suit cabinets attachable).
 
- Fixed monsters spawned by an event inside an outpost being unable to attack any items inside that outpost. To our knowledge, didn't affect vanilla events, but caused issues in certain mods.
