Everything in your Inventory, Market, NanoFab and Cold Storage is now [i]fasterrrrr[/i]. You can submit F10s faster because we remembers you Discord username and you can make new games faster because we remember your Attribute selections from the last time. We've added a new appearance option to tweak lip color and we've also adjusted the default Screen Move to wide screen to help players on larger, wider screens like 4K who are encounter the game feeling like it is just too small to play. And finally we've fixed [i]another[/i] set of issues with the Scourge and the UNA Hacker recruits. These two - so much trouble!

One some of these screens, players were seeing 500-1000 items piling up and the load times were tanking. This new update should make those screens as snappy as they ever were, regardless of the size of the lists. Of course, the next thing needed here is a lovely Bulk Sell tool that will help you filter these huge lists and then sell things rapidly in large packages to your Contacts instead of being asked to sell them one at a time (madness I tell you!). Stay tuned for that - now that the performance is ironed out, that's next.

Go bold, go dark, go smokey and if you want use the cancel button to drop back to the default skin tone. This feels like a nice add to have some more color controls for your characters - enjoy playing with it. Some of the contacts are due an upgrade after all these new appearance options.

If you are Discord, it is [b][i]extremely[/i][/b] helpful for us to be able to reach out to you with more questions about a ticket or to follow up afterwards, so we appreciate you adding your details. And of course, for typing it so many types (madness I tell you!) Now, type it on last time please and we remember forever :D [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36740530/a0ffe5d5c44e35561f4ffa1f411c30a47dd64c13.png[/img] Also, to help smooth out new Knight creation, once you've created a Knight once we remember your Attribute choices and just use them again next time through.

This indicates that the elements will grown physically larger as your screen gets larger. In the PC screen mode, the elements will stay exactly the same physical size as they would on a 1080p, which means they become smaller relative to your screen size. Blah blah, whatever - we need a better name but this a better default for Steam Deck, 1080p screens and large and wide screen as well. You can always swap to back PC mode -- let us know how this change feels (if you see any difference). [h2]More Recruit Fixes[/h2] There have never been a more troublesome set of recruits than the Treaty '31 Scourge and Hacker. Upon their release, there were a few bugs, which we fixed in a few days. But the fall out and need to keep cleaning up from those bugs has been ... annoying constant. A big thanks to everyone sending in F10s, we hope these are the last 2 fixes for characters who got stuck in one way or another. [h2]v1.8.135 - #161: Rip Roar - 10/17/2024[/h2] - Major performance boost for all Inventory, Cold Storage, Market and NanoFab screens with lists of things - Added appearance option to adjust lip color and new option for some colors to revert back to default - Swapped default "Screen Mode" to "TV" (where the UI keeps its proportions as screen gets bigger) vs. "PC" (where the elements stay same size on larger screens, feels smaller) - New Game now remembers the Attributes you set for your last Knight so you can start more quickly - Feedback form (F10) remembers the Discord username so you don't have re-add it - Fixed bug with Scourge recruit sometimes appearing directly into roster as if already on the team - Fixed issue with delaying choice for UNA Hacker recruit could leave hacker stuck on roster
