Patch v1.03: We Love Our Community! -UPDATE, 9/24/15

[MoonlightEmber]

UPDATE 9/24/15: Thanks to the reporting since last night's patch, 1.03, we figured out that a problem in the build process had actually prevented some of the changes from going through. We have rebuilt tonight, and pushed the patch again, with the following additional changes as well:

• Fixed the materials required for Architect armor, Engineer armor, and the Bulldozer pet.
  
• Fixed another issue that could cause UI lag.
  
• Increased the drop chances for the Master Brain.
  
• Fixed an issue that prevented the "Fun Dungeon" achievement from being set when taking the Skiff from the dungeon exit.

Hey ArkCoNauts!

After reading your feedback and listening to all the requests coming in, here is another round of changes, fixes, and balances that you guys helped us find. We are lucky to have such an engaged community, and we hope you’ll keep the feedback and reports coming. Stay awesome!

• Melee weapons are better at hitting breakable objects
  
• Left clicking at item in the knowledge window will open the crafting window to that item

Thanks, you guys are awesome. This game so much fun!

[Dr.Chang 🎄]

Awesome ! looks Fixed huge issues ^^

I can't wait to play, but I must start working at once.> <.

When I use a melee weapon I have a second arm waggling around behind the one holding the sword. It looks like this would be the gun holding arm, and there is no hand on the end of it.

When I pressed alt+enter taking screenshots to report the arm problem, my character became ghosted, with a duplicate behind it.

I think there are other issues with using alt+enter too, the mouse cursor felt like it was off-center or bounded to a box a different size from the screen resolution.

And.. my preference for having my helmet enabled is not saved when I save and quit.

Sound collision with Headhunter incredibly loud and sharp.

Renamable chests YES! Also you should really add that you fixed the mat requirements for the projectile weapons because that's the best part of this patch imo.

Thank you for the new patch. A lot of those changes sound good. Especially leaving the nest sites alone to harvest stuff.

I'm still getting HUGE memory leaks from Edge of Space. Load a game, quit to menu, and you will be using at least 1.5gb of ram. Load another game, and you are now at at least 2gb of ram. Load a 3rd game and you will be at minimum 2.3gb of ram with the game close to unplayable.

Technically the game didn't finish loading the third time. Either windows killed the browser portion to save memory or it just crashed. Most likely, it crashed.

During the first load, I tried moving a couple things in inventory. The lag was almost exactly as bad as before. There may have been a minimal increase, but if it was less, it was so insubstantial as to not be better at all.

the loot should have dropped underneath him, neither of your screen caps have any useful information in them, sorry.

are you certain you are fully updated?

until we can sort out the issue, i would reccommend not using alt-enter, to be honest you should not use such a shortcut with today's games, most if not all have a window/fullscreen option that resets the view which you should be using. (alt-enter is more of a diagnostic/troubleshooting shortcut nowadays)

You think I have nothing better to do, how to lie? Under killed the boss is absolutely nothing there, so I went upstairs to search. But then there was nothing, except the new (to me) NPC and ship. Yes, I'm sure that was updated (door is opened).

[Neutralize]

Awesome devs, awesome game. Glad I jumped on board. Keep up the great work.

"Smart Pants" is still bugged. Not sure about "Building Better Worlds", haven't gotten around to terraforming yet.

Can we get some log files from you? File an in game ticket by pressing escape, clicking support, and filling in the form.

She wasn't calling you a liar, she is trying to verify and be sure you're up to date. If the issue is persisting, we're going to need fresh log files to investigate why the changes we pushed aren't working.

I just said, it makes no sense to deceive. In one approach is not dying I walked all the rooms. The loop has disappeared, the door opens and everything is correct. But the boss is still a blank for me. And achievement "Fun Dungeon" is not (it is associated with this dungeon?).
