Patch v1.2.2 (23 May 2018)

The Party Gordo Has Arrived!

Every weekend, the Party Gordo comes to the Far, Far Range, but you have to find him first! Hunt down the Party Gordo who is hiding somewhere on the map and pop him to receive lots of party presents containing festive ornaments for your ranch.

But the party doesn't end there! You can also discover presents hidden around the world all weekend long! Because though the Party Gordo may be gone, the party... well it LIVES ON.

The Party Gordo is available all-day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (local time) and will return every weekend with new treasures to discover!

Changes:
- Added an official Chinese translation. Welcome, friends!
- Added some improvements and optimizations around game saving and animated objects.
- Improved visual effects for crate breaking. Fun fact: this has been on our to-do list for like, 100 years.
- Added rich presence for Discord so now you can let your pals know where you are and what you’re up to on the range.

Fixes:
- Fixed bug with some Rush Mode translations not fitting on the end-game screen.
- Fixed bug with items sometimes getting stuck in corral barriers.
- Fixed some spots in Mochi’s Manor where players could get stuck.
- Fixed some spots in Moss Blanket where players could get stuck.
- Improved the damage indicator effect.
- Fixed a typo in Mochi’s dialogue. Mochi wanted us to make it clear that we made a mistake, not her.
- Fixed some animation issues for silo storage screens.
- Fixed a bug where gamepad button icons would show the wrong thing for a frame before switching to the correct icon.
- Fixed a bug where ornaments oriented themselves facing slightly downwards. We told them to keep their chins up.
- Fixed a bug allowing popping up certain screens while sleeping until morning.
- Fixed a bug sometimes causing inaccurate shooting while running in the Nimble Valley. Again, Mochi has stated this was your fault all along.

##### Patch 1.0.1 (23 May 2018)

* Default display mode detection fix - we know you've experienced some issues with screen resolutions; it should be all fixed now (if it's still happening for you - we have a manual solution that you can use - described below)
* More diagnostics tools - we've added some analytics that will help us track and fix issues in the future
* Bread and Games achievement is working properly now
* The Union achievement is fixed as well - it was working before - but was triggered by wrong events
* Iron Man (The Arks) achievement is fixed - now it's only possible to get it during The Arks scenario
* Memory leaks are fixed - which should improve stability and overall performance (more FPS, less crashes etc.)
* Save game buffor memory increased - which should eliminate any issues that you had with autosaving feature
* Fixed a bunch of crashes related to Heaters, Generator and endlog timelapse

##### Added feature: AlienFX.

Working with Alienware, we've added new feature to our game - which should
brighten up Frostpunk's dark atmoshpere a bit. If you're using compatible
hardware:

* Your keyboard's backlight colours will change depending on the current temperature in your city. And let's just say: if you see some purple lights - better fire up that Generator overdrive.
* Weather warnings - when the temperature rises or drops - your keyboard will let you know about it, pulsating with coresponding colours.

#### Update 6 (23 May 2018)

* Fixed save thumbnail issues

#### Patch 1.07.01-110 (23 May 2018)

* Players now start in the overworld if they saved their game in a special interior such as Ock's or Cave Cat's and then quit
* One way dungeon doors never now close when players go through
* Fix for one way dungeon doors putting players at the incorrect doorway
* Prevented player from going into a Sticker swap if all their Stickers are equipped

Editor Update (24 May 2018)

- updated The Divinity Engine 2 to the newest version

Patch 1.2.12 (24 May 2018)

- This patch updates the native launcher - the small executable we use to boot into the bundled Java runtime - to improve compatibility with some Windows 10 systems. It also removes 32-bit support from the launcher of the Mac OS version.
- In addition, we disabled the option to submit crash logs via HTTP request from within the crash report dialog.

#### Update 1.05 (24 May 2018)

* Changed radio sounds due to copyright issues on FAR videos and streams

#### Patch 2018-05-23 (24 May 2018)

* Add a massive amount of HQ texture replacements sourced from the original artwork, mixed with tweaked versions of the texture pack. Covering mainly Uruk Intro, Uruk Islands, Abydos Canals, Heliopolis, Dark Area, Uruk exteriors, Cursed Palace surroundings and the Anubis Wall itself.
* Flip the conditions in the ISSAID command to hopefully try to fix some rare softlocks when a gamescript is waiting for ISSAID after LOCKCONTROLS + PRINTMESSAGE and then some other trigger overlaps in time and also does LOCKCONTROLS 1 + PRINTMESSAGE while we are waiting, causing the first trigger to never return from ISSAID and unlock the controls with the tailing LOCKCONTROLS 0, leaving the player stuck. This can happen in the crawlspace of the Luxor throne room, if the crawl help text wasn't triggered by not moving the throne all the way and then we accidentally move it just when the old NPC called Sorkon talks to us when coming back.
* Don't let the user set negative display indexes in Sphinx.ini, clamp it to {0, max-screen-index} range. Fixes displaying the resolution when [RenderMode] Display=-1.
