Crypt of the NecroDancer v4.0.0

Crypt of the NecroDancer v4.0.0 is now available!

This update marks the full release of the SYNCHRONY DLC! We'd like to thank everyone who played the DLC during the Early Access period and shared their feedback with our team!

In this version, we've also made lots of changes under the hood to increase performance and enable compatibility across all platforms.

New features

Added Weekly Challenge mode to the SYNCHRONY DLC:
[list]
Huge shout-outs to our incredibly talented modding community for creating such a wide variety of content!
Each week features community-created playable characters, items, monsters, mechanics, bosses or zones
Speedrun times and high scores are tracked on a set of single-player and co-op leaderboards for each week
Previous weeks can be revisited and replayed at any time

Added cross-platform online multiplayer for the SYNCHRONY DLC between all supported platforms:

If cross-play is enabled when creating a public lobby, players from any platform can join the lobby
[list]
To play privately with friends from other platforms, set the visibility to "Public" and specify a password

Cross-play can be enabled or disabled when creating a lobby, or as a filtering option in the public game browser

Mods that have been reviewed and approved for all platforms by our moderation team can be enabled in cross-play sessions

[/list]

Added cross-platform leaderboards for the SYNCHRONY DLC:

An icon next to each entry indicates which platform a leaderboard record was achieved on
Leaderboard replays are now supported across all platforms for cross-play leaderboards

Added online cross-play support for the AMPLIFIED DLC:

Lobbies hosted with AMPLIFIED content enabled can now be joined by players who do not own the DLC
Joining an AMPLIFIED lobby temporarily makes Zone 5 and all new items, enemies, shrines, traps and bosses available

Added leaderboard ranking indicator to Run Summary menu when achieving a new personal best score or time

For cross-platform leaderboards, both the old and new rank order are displayed

Added a new replay menu and replay management features:

The replay menu now displays info such as character, mode, zone/floor number and speedrun time for each replay
Replays can be marked as "Favorite" to pin them to the top of the replay menu and store them permanently
The replay menu can now be accessed from the pause menu and the run summary menu while watching a replay

Added options to control the visibility of other player's usernames in online sessions

Added platform indicator icons to the player list

Added status indicator to player list menu

Added menu options to report players, lobbies and leaderboard entries

Added an option to block disruptive players

Blocking a player prevents them from joining lobbies you've created
When joining another player's lobby, a warning message is shown when a blocked player joins the game

Added new graphics system for greatly improved performance across all platforms

Added an option to display the current framerate in-game

Added password-protected multiplayer lobbies

Added rich presence status for all platforms

Added "Show modded lobbies" and "Show cross-play lobbies" filters to game browser menu

Added an overhauled mod management system and menu:

Old mod versions are now automatically deleted after updating to the latest version
[list]
This behavior can be disabled via an option in the "Mod options" menu
This can also be invoked manually for all installed mods using option in the "Mod options" menu

Contextual mod actions are now displayed in a small pop-up overlay, instead of a section in the sidebar

Inappropriate mods can now be reported and (and their creators muted) directly from within the mod menu

Searching/filtering the mod menu now highlights all occurrences of the search term in mod titles and descriptions

[/list]

Added support for saving/loading mods in presets

Added a progress bar when loading game content

Added equipment sprites for spells added in the SYNCHRONY DLC

Added an option to customize the color of gold outlines for Monk/Coda

[/list]

Changes

Changed character selection room statistics to dynamically adjust to the current extra mode and player count
Changed 'Letterbox' view scaling mode to prefer pixel-perfect scale factors, instead of stretching pixels
Changed 'Stretch' view scaling mode to preserve the original aspect ratio, while stretching pixels to non-integer factors
Changed replay overlay to show "Restart" button prompt on the final level, instead of "Next level"
Changed post-death replay to alternate between the player's and monster's perspective after each loop
Changed version compatibility checks to tolerate differences in build numbers:
[list]
This allows hotfixes to be released at different times between platforms without preventing players from joining each other

Changed replay system to compress all replays recorded throughout each day into one file:

This greatly reduces storage requirements and improves performance when navigating the replay menu
Replays marked as "Favorite" are saved separately, allowing individual runs to be shared with other players

Changed leaderboard categories if the SYNCHRONY DLC is enabled:

Reduced number of combinations involving extra modes (Deathless, No Return, Hard, Phasing, Randomizer, Mystery)
[list]
Co-op boards for extra modes are unified across player counts (2/3/4/5+ co-op have been merged into 2+)
Extra modes no longer have Custom Music and Double Tempo leaderboard variants

Multi-character modes (All Characters, Story, Ensemble) still retain all leaderboard variants

Archived versions of all merged/removed leaderboards can still be viewed using the in-game menu on supported platforms

[/list]

Changed translations to include all new and updated text across all supported languages

Changed resource loading system to improve startup time

Changed skin selection menu to only show selected player character

Changed spectator/replay mode to hide item slot key bindings

Changed minimap to crop the view around the player camera on large levels

Changed minimap to show Shrines of Configuration and selectable characters in the lobby

Changed minimap to follow the player through side rooms in the lobby

Changed online mod setup synchronization to be performed simultaneously for everyone, instead of waiting for the host

Changed tile map, light map and collision map systems to improve performance and reduce memory usage

Changed hitbox size of menu entries for mouse/touch input to eliminate gaps between entries

Changed fullscreen mode to use a borderless window

Changed mod dependencies to be downloaded automatically when loading a mod after a dependency was uninstalled

Changed DLCs to be load-order-independent, eliminating unnecessary reloads when joining unmodded multiplayer sessions

[/list]
