Hello everyone!

This sounds more like a coldfix than a hotfix considering the amount of time elapsed since the last update, but eh, here we are.

We've been reported multiple multiplayer issues for the past weeks and we've been working on it (probably slower than what you expected, but we're doing what we can).

There are 2 major issues:
- Infinite “Loading Session ID”
- Disconnected while playing multiplayer with someone from another platform

There are probably other smaller issues as well, but it’s hard to isolate them as long as these two above keep happening.

So we focused on fixing those first and foremost. Though unfortunately, we’re unsure if the fix will actually work (since we can’t reliably reproduce those issues internally). But we have good hopes it will.

We apologize for the issues you've been facing and we'll be continuing to monitor them. Please, keep the feedback coming as well and let us know if the multiplayer issues have been solved for you.

Finally, we also implemented a speculative fix for [redacted] which was lagging behind (or not moving at all) for the client players.

That's it for today!

Have a great week guardians, we hope you'll be able to kick some metal ass in multiplayer this time around!

Recovering Early Access Wrenches

Overall, feedback and responses regarding version 1.0 have been very positive. However, the two main criticisms we've heard revolve around multiplayer issues and the loss of progress for Early Access players.

As you may be aware, valuing your time and commitment as a player has always been a fundamental part of our philosophy. We couldn't find a clean and compelling solution to retain your progress, and we believed that resetting it wouldn't be a significant issue, as we thought it would enhance the overall gameplay experience and allow you to fully explore the 1.0 version of the game (with all the new intertwined progression elements)

We were clearly mistaken, and we completely understand your frustration.

We apologize for the gaming time "lost" due to the complete reset.

We attempted to find a solution, even though it may seem a bit late now. As the saying goes, better late than never, and we have found a way to restore things.

The idea is to retrieve the wrenches and classes you had unlocked from the remaining Early Access save. However, please be aware that the process is a bit unconventional, and it may not work if you don't have the save file on the same computer as your Early Access version.

Implementation
While booting up the game for the first time after updating to 1.0.1, you'll be prompted with a message asking you whether or not you'd like to be refunded the Wrenches you spent during Early Access.

Pressing 'Yes' will grant you a number of Wrenches equivalent to the ones spent during your Early Access playthrough.

It will also unlock the Classes you previously unlocked.

It won't unlock the gadgets though as they are now unlocked through different means. Same goes for difficulty levels since they changed.

Limitations
People who played during the 1.0 playtest might not be able to retrieve their Wrenches.

Our suggestion
Like we previously said when we announced the progress wipe we really think it'd be better not to retrieve those wrenches and to experience the full 1.0 experience from scratch.

But time is an expansive resource, a finite one, one you can't retrieve. We understand the issue raised by the progress wipe and that's why we implemented this wrench retrieval system.

Enforcing the decision to wipe instead of giving you the choice was a mistake and we apologize for that.

We hope that this addition will make it up to you, even if it's coming a bit late.

Known Issues in 1.0

Unfortunately, we just recently spotted 2 issues that went under our radar:
• On all platforms: Unlocking Achievements while in offline mode, then reconnecting to online mode won't grant you the achievements. We are working on a fix to make offline achievements trackable and to also retro-actively validate the ones you unlocked while playing offline while this issue was present. But some of the achievements will require you to unlock them again.
• On Microsoft platforms: Connecting to a brobot (whether through matchmaking or session ID) will take a longer time than usual. Some attempts might even time out and fail, leading to a connection error. In which case a workaround would be to retry the connection until it works (there is no need to close the game to attempt to reconnect). That specific issue will arise whenever a Microsoft user will attempt to connect to another player (regardless of that other player's platform).
Of course, we're already preparing a patch to fix those issues and we apologize for the inconvenience meanwhile.

Gameplay

• Speculative Fix: Mouse inputs should no longer fail to register (leading to not shooting your weapon).
→ Developers' Notes: We've been on the hunt for this bug since a while now. If you were experiencing this issue before, please make sure to set your display settings to “Fullscreen” prior to testing our implemented fix (as this issue could have two sources: not being in fullscreen or another source relative to your Windows resolution). Our fix should have fixed the “window resolution” issue).
• A new feature has been added to the game: Power Crystals
• You can encounter various friendly robots in the game
• Each of this robot has a specific quest for you
• Finding and bringing specific items or performing specific actions is usually required to complete a quest
• Quests unlock various gameplay elements (from level keys to gadgets and others)
• Max’ Museum is a new structure in the basecamp
• You can consult everything you’ve encountered in Roboquest in the Museum
• You can consult your run history, watch cinematics, have a world overview or track your stats
• You can view every single enemy and weapons, only once you’ve unlocked their specific card
• Each enemy has a chance to drop its card when taken down
• Each weapon needs a specific amount of damage dealt to unlock its card
• Added Achievements to the game
• Reduced Wrench gain per level completed
• Enemies now drop Wrenches to compensate
• Enemies now drop weapons by default
• We removed the “Metal Detector” gadget as a result
• Renamed “Heroes” difficulties to “Guardian”
• Removed “Heroes+6” difficulty
• Renamed “Heroes+1” to “Hard”
• “Heroes+2” to “Heroes+5” difficulties are now called “Guardian I” to “Guardian IV”
• “Guardian IV” is the new final difficulty level
• Increased the difficulty amplitude between two difficulty levels
• Higher difficulty levels now also replaces some basic enemies by harder ones
• Updated the difficulty selector interface
• Increased the difficulty scaling in multiplayer
• Enemy damage reduced in Discovery difficulty from -40% to -50%
• Enemy damage reduced in Easy difficulty from -20% to -25%
• Reduced multiplayer health scaling for all enemies by approximately 10%
• Jump height now scales with movement speed (faster the movement, higher the jump)
→ Developers' Notes: For a long time buffing your movement speed was only increasing the horizontal distance you would cover with a jump. We tried out a few things internally recently and realized it would feel way better to also grant a little bit of vertical boost to your jumps once you start stacking movement speed bonuses. We hope you’ll like this change as much as we did.
• Increased health restored by the Heal-Bot
• Modified the base inputs for "Open Perk Selector", "Drop Weapon" and "Ping" (this should prevent players that didn't modify those inputs to accidentally drop their weapon)

• Removed some obsolete gamepad options

• Reduced the cost to upgrade weapons at Smithing Joe
• Increased the range gained by weapon level from 10% to 12.5%
→ Developers' Notes: The more you progress in the different levels of the game, the bigger areas become and we felt like weapons were out of range a tad too often. A simple 2.5% boost per level fixed that issue.
• When a gameplay description refers to “Reloading” it now applies to both the action of Reloading and Cooling a weapon
• The duration needed to cool energy weapons now depends on the current amount of energy consumption
