Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a crash in the Relationship tab occurring when character approval dropped below zero; approval is now capped at a minimum of 0.

  • Fixed 'Cull Enemies' markers being hidden behind location icons.

  • Fixed Life Steal calculations that were functioning as a direct multiplier instead of a percentage.

  • Fixed save file ordering by updating the last played timestamp precisely when writing to disk, preventing alphabetical sorting of saves created in the same minute.

  • Fixed an exploit allowing extra pillar shard placement via Ctrl+Click and added validation for net required shards.

  • Fixed UI responsiveness issues where mouse clicks were blocked by dialog backgrounds and sliders were not draggable.

  • Fixed a crash in the combat avatar interface caused by missing buff names and resolved invalid data processing in the technique comprehension system.

  • Fixed many keybindings not working, such as in combat and crafting.

  • Fixed crashes caused by mods using invalid UI selectors and resolved scrolling issues in tall mod-specific menus.

  • Updated Pi Lip's training logic to allow players to teach him crafting actions starting from the Body Forging Early realm.

  • Fixed notification toasts not working on the main menu.

ModAPI

  • Added the current redux state to [c]onReduxActionPayload[/c] hook.

  • Added [c]useGameSettings[/c] hook to redux apis to allow a mod to hook of the current game settings.
