v0.1.11.0-Beta

[AMacro]

Changes / Fixes

This release fixes main compatibility issues with B99.4. As the scope of changes implemented in B99.4 is quite large, it is possible that there have been changes made that we are not aware of and issues we haven't encountered in our testing, so as always, please report any bugs by either raising an issue or visiting the Discord discussion thread. Note: you will need to join the Altfuture Discord server. Be sure to include both the host and client player.log files in your report. You can also use the game's built in bug report feature and upload the bug report zips.

Misc

• Fixed issues with invites through Steam not correctly loading when server visibility is set to 'Friends'.
• Refactored the workflow for connecting to a server.
• Fixed localisation issue where a null key could cause an exception.

Game

• Added an exemption for Remote Dispatch so the client does not have to have the mod installed.
• Fixed issues with changes to B99.4 - this gets the mod working again, but no guarantee all issues have been resolved.
• Changed the rules for tracking full physics syncs - potential fix for brake hose issues.
• Changed the rules to prevent out-of-sequence physics packets from being applied - potential fix for brake hose issues.
• Added full car and cargo health sync - this was added as part of the on going work on self-service.

Known Bugs

• Clients are unable to self service locomotives - self service objects (e.g. pipes, chutes, plugs, nozzles) not synced.
• Horns, whistles and steam loco reversers can play up when more than one player is in the loco; this is not a breaking issue, only a mild inconvenience.
• MU chains behave the same as the horns and whistles, playable but mildly annoying.
• Shop, world items, inventory for players other than the host not yet synced - job overviews, booklets and reports are partially sync'd.
• Many other minor bugs and inconveniences, which we'll work through as we tick off the bigger issues.
• New game features including "Demonstrator vehicles" are not completely sync'd and will be worked on over the coming releases.
• When a job is completed and the Job Booklet is turned in by a client, cash only spawns on the host's game - this is expected to be fixed with Item Sync.
• When a job is completed and the Job Booklet is turned in by a client, the booklet may have incorrect information; this is a visual only bug.

Features in progress

• Manual service - This will allow all players to service locomotives if the licence has been acquired.
• Job sync - This is on hold, pending release of item sync.
• Item sync - good progress has been made; there were a few outstanding issues we were working on prior to B99's release. Major updates in B99 (many new "smart" items and a new mounting system) will delay the release of this feature.

General note: manual service, item sync and job sync are all interrelated and may need to be released in one large update.
