Hotfix 4

Captains! Hotfix #4 is now live!

This update fixes issues related to reputation, ship collisions, quests, and crafting bonuses, resolves a number of problems in the Open World and Port Battles, and improves overall game stability.

What's New

Gameplay

• Increased the maximum preset name length to 14 characters.

• Fixed an issue where a player's reputation could change when joining, leaving, or performing other actions within a flotilla. Reputation now remains unchanged.

• Fixed incorrect application of the crafting time bonus after completing quests without meeting the required conditions. The bonus is now granted only if the player has the Helping Hand skill and/or the Mutual Assistance Contract privilege. If both are available, their effects stack.

• Fixed an issue with determining aggressor status during reverse ramming. Aggressor status is now correctly assigned to the player who initiated the collision.

• Fixed an issue that allowed the Huracan to enter Port Battles despite existing restrictions. In 15v15 Port Battles, only one Huracan per side is now allowed.

• Adjusted the Military Academy quest that requires visiting a military faction port. If a player is already in a guild when the quest becomes available, it will no longer be issued. This restriction does not apply to flotilla members.

• Fixed an issue where the Honored Guest achievement was not awarded after meeting its requirements.

• Fixed several issues related to layer behavior during the Port Battle attack window. Merchant faction ships no longer enter the tension layer, forts now attack only players with the tension flag during the attack window, and fortification aggression markers are now displayed correctly.

World & Interface

• Fixed the display of undiscovered Longhorn History points of interest when using the spyglass. Points of interest in the Longhorn History subcategory unlock sequentially, so players at sea now see only the next available location.

• Fixed an issue where regular and event maps could spawn inside the island beneath the Southern Bastion on Islas Dias Augado, making them impossible to collect. Maps now spawn only in accessible locations.

• Fixed an issue where the lantern effect remained active after removing it through presets.

• Fixed an issue where the ship did not stop when collecting point of interest collections. Collection now works correctly.

• Fixed incorrect port marker display when reapplying tribute before the previous tribute expired.

• Updated the 2D illustrations for the Longhorn collection.

Technical Fixes

• Fixed an issue that caused incorrect calculation of resources produced by facilities on the Personal Island.

• Fixed a game crash during startup that occurred with certain region and date settings.

• Fixed an issue where specialists were not granted after completing a scroll search while the player was online. Specialists are now awarded correctly.

• Fixed an issue that allowed players with high ping to claim the same tutorial quest reward multiple times.
