Hotfix incoming, online modes downtime heads-up!

On Friday, Apr 17, we are going to update the game to the version [c]0.10.0.2.54-451ec92d[/c], addressing some of the current issues.

Online modes will not be available from 12 AM PDT / 3 AM EDT / 7 AM GMT / 9 AM CEST for approximately one hour! You can check your local date & time here (enter your city to view it). Offline mode will not be affected, but we recommend downloading the update as soon as possible.

Patchnotes:

Connectivity Fixes:

• Disabled the access token generation cooldown for dedicated servers, this should alleviate some of the connectivity issues for dedicated hosts

• More connectivity fixes are underway and are currently being tested, they need a little more time before we can release them. Thank you for your patience!

Other Fixes:

• Fixed an issue where the client did not check the server version before connecting, it now displays a UI error message if the server is outdated;

• Removed the 8-character minimum limit for invite codes, the limit is now 1–32 characters;

• Fixed a crash caused by ship spawns in Tortuga;

• Boss scaling now functions correctly when more than 3 players initiate a fight;

• Fixed a bug where the Boar Whistle could become unobtainable if it fell into the Altar's bowl due to full inventory when receiving it;

• Fixed the animation for carrying objects;

• Fixed the Plague Halberd special attack VFX floating above the deck during boarding;

• Fixed an issue where healing potion effects could be interrupted by other consumables or dashes;

• Fixed musket movement while aiming, it should now be smoother;

• Fixed the Overpenetration talent, it should now function correctly;

• Fixed fire damage numbers for the Dragonbreath Blunderbuss, they are now displayed correctly with the proper VFX;

• Fixed a bug that occasionally caused Thomas Richards to switch targets mid-sprint during his Grab attack;

• Fixed a bug where Thomas Richards would sometimes use his Grab attack immediately after throwing bombs;

• Fixed Grenadier grenades: they now pass through players and other NPCs;

• Fixed Grenadier aggro: they no longer lose targets as quickly and will correctly close the distance if a player moves too far away;

• Fixed the Plague Crusher getting stuck in trees, it now correctly destroys trees while moving;

• Removed the "Wishlist Now" link from the main menu. That was actually stupid.

• Extended the host server start timeout to 5 minutes to allow more time for world version updates;

• Fixed numerous localization errors;

• DedicatedServer.md now contains examples for WorldPresetType: "Easy", "Medium", and "Hard"

We thank you for your support, and hope that this hotfix will make your sailing smoother over the weekend.
