The Lost Keepers Patch v5.0.4

Hey Keepers

we have been reading your plentiful reports and feedback, thank you so much!

We got a proper chunky patch out now, read all about it below. As you can see we are slowly doing more quality of life improvements, like the ability to play your DLC character even if the host does not have the DLC.

What's next:

• more small improvements, for example always having the second station so that you can at least buy upgrades even if you do not have a second main weapon

• a complete rewrite of how we handle resource drops over the network, which should massively improve performance related to that

• buggixes of course!

We are also getting ready to work on the enabling mods again for multiplayer, and generally improving mod support. If you have modded dome before and found some friction or things that were hard to mod or colliding with other mods, now is a great time to tell us so we can improve it.

Patchnotes for v5.0.4

MAJOR

Allow clients to share their unlocked elements with the host for a combined loadout.

fixed balance of relic hunt and assignments. There was a bug that made the monster waves too easy in these modes. Thank you ericpenn for reporting! We rebalanced the new assignments for that, as we balanced them to the accidentally easier balance.

fixed prestige runs getting false marked as cheated when the 'Send Cobalt' upgrade was used.

fixed one skin of beastmaster not unlockering properly when buying all normal catgoblins

tiny bird will now be unlockable in any normal run that has nests (containing an egg)

MINOR

• instead of the orchard buff lasting super long with multiple players in a team, the fruit grows much faster instead

• interaction between infiltrator rope and side drill removed

• beastmaster tentacle wobble improvements

• Don't stop Steam users from hosting Steam or LAN games just because their Playfab connection failed. Gracefully disable crossplay on host in such scenarios. Also removed crossplay checkbox from join for Steam users as it adds friction with no benefit.

• Infiltator's Rope Camera will now follow the keeper once it's finished pulling, preventing the keeper to get off screen.

• Enabled punisher waves in Survival of the Fittest

BUGFIXES

• fixed transport drones to continue collecting resources when game is over

• fixed orchard fruit not depleting with mining when loading a saved game

• fixed ending music suddenly stopping

• fixed cobalt cave replenishing with loading a saved game

• fixed spawning redundand keepers when client continues

• fixed random gadgets getting spawned with save games

• fixed portal caves sometimes not adding drops to the inventory

Best Wishes, René

Also please note that we provide patches early on the staging beta branch. There is no code required to access it. It was code-protected at first, so the first time you switch to the branch you probably need to re-install the game (don't ask me why, it's a Steam thing). It won't wipe your save.
