Mohawk Games has released a new patch today for Offworld Trading Company. We appreciate the feedback you have been giving so far, and players can update to this latest patch via Steam.
UI:
- Fixed a new bug which prevented the chat from being selected in the Lobby
- Fixed tool tip typo
- Hacker array in-process tooltips fixed (thanks KahnAu!)
- When unpausing, the game speed returns to the previous game speed instead of going to the default game speed. (Thanks Tylertoo!)
- If you select another player's advanced building, you don't get the custom interface to act on that building. (Thanks WithinRafael!)
- Fixed erroneous cursor displays when you're placing a building on an empty tile. (Thanks WithinRafael!)
- Added client-side delay on bidding on auctions (currently .75 seconds) so that the player can't accidentally bid when another bid came in the frame before they place a bid. This may be a little long. I can lower it in response to feedback. (Thanks Ritashi!)
- Added a UI panel when scanning the map that lists the bonuses for being the next player to found an HQ. You can hover over this area for the full list
- Fixed full screen scrolling scroll up and to the right!
- Added a UI panel with controls/information for the Colony Stock win condition
- Fixed UI issue with construct building help showing wrong output (not being modified by handicap level)
- Tooltip corrections (Thanks Ori Avtalion!)
- "Close change long" -> "Close change log" (Thanks WithinRafael!)
- Tooltips no longer say that you get patents when you buy someone out (because that's incorrect!) (Thanks Pinstar!)
- Change log tooltip grammar fixing.
- Refactoring how the change log gets serialized (Note: this change resets the "Welcome" and "Change Log" popups)
- Edge scrolling and drag scrolling no longer conflict!
- "You" is not the player name in the campaign any more. It uses your steam account name instead. (Thanks Narkulus!)
