Welcome to Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues Early Access Release 34! How to Play instructions and game update notes on Release 34 are available in the forums.

October 7, 2016

Build Number 492, 11:45 AM

• Fixed issue (hopefully) that was causing SFX to arbitrarily cut out


• Novia and Hidden Vale: Slightly increased size of teleport triggers for boat-to-Novia/Hidden Vale. Decreased the size of teleport triggers for boats that connect to POT islands. (Note: This should dramatically reduce the chances that players will accidentally click on the Jade Island POT boat teleporter when trying to click on the boat-to-Novia.)


• Fixed various exceptions


• Fix for players getting stuck when teleporting to chairs. We now save last valid position before laying in bed or sitting in chair and restore that when getting up.


• Fixed issue with spells interrupting during casting and messing up Global Cooldown


• Fixed hair sorting issues with One Man Bands


• Fixed issue where attempting to Tame a creature breaks game inputs until scene reload


• Fixed bug that caused the death location skeleton to appear where the player was resurrected rather than where they died


• Fixed bug that caused a pile of skeletons to appear where a single death occurred


• Elysian Illumination will no longer damage party members for 0 points of damage.  Duration has also been increased as well as healing amount


• Increasing Shadow bias on sky boxes to remove shadow acne.  This seems to have gotten worse with 5.4 upgrade.

• Some items listed in the R34 instructions are not in the game yet including:
  
  
  
  • Ornate Marching Band Shirt and Hat (Add-Ons)
  
  
  
  


• Various visual anomalies with all versions of the One Man Bands


• Various issues with Sound Effects and Music (sfx not effected by volume sliders, odd popping noises, no music in main menu, etc)


• Portable Aetheric Amplifier (aka Headphones) will sometimes stop working


• AMD A8 Graphics Chipsets do not work with Unity Games including Shroud


• Fire Arrow icon not visible in tutorial


• Using the Mirror on Isle of Storms can crash sometimes


• Novia Overworld rework has introduced various stuck spots, incorrect collision and “exit into the air” issues


• Some UI text is not wrapping correctly


• Rain is coming through the roof of some buildings


• The new Targeting system still has various issues that need fixing


• Pathfinding is breaking in some houses and basements


• Local chat is failing in some situations


• Many SFX are not properly tied to the sound volume controls.


• Lighting and fog levels are still being tuned to work with the new weather system, expect anomalies


• Death and Resurrection do not work properly in the team arena


• Water lots in Dynamic Player Owned Towns can currently only be placed along shorelines, not on docks


• If your video drivers are out of date characters will appear as if they are covered in triangles.


• Some cities are experiencing performance spikes


• Some pledge, add on, and stretch goal items have not yet been built and/or do not yet have tech support.


• The update to Unity 5 caused a host of general texture and lighting related issues, and not all of these have been resolved.


• Distant tree billboards may have a white outline that is especially noticeable at night, and some trees may shimmer with white at night.


• Skin tone will sometimes not match properly on different parts of the body


• ALT key can no longer be bound. This was necessary to re-enable quick self cast with ALT
