Update 1.0.4.0

Hello Wanderers,

while it might have been silent around the Striving for Light development, there is a lot been going on behind the curtain.

Timeline for Season 2 Content Update

We are heavily working on the extensive content update for Season 2. As we are leaving no stone untouched, there are fundamental improvements we can't hold back until Season 2!

So lets talk about what 1.0.4.0 holds in store for you!

Major Features

Performance Improvements

This update holds one of the biggest performance breakthroughs till date!

• The combat, skill and collision system was completely rewritten for buttery smooth performance.
• Fixed performance degradation over time when having damage numbers active
• The performance on boss encounters like Noctelle was improved

In case you have run into stutters, hickups or framedrops, you will most likely enjoy this update 🙂

New Projectile Animations

All projectiles now have smooth vanishing animations instead of simply poping out of existance.

Further improvements

• Meteor Visual Improvements: The meteor impact crater is now smaller and not overlaying important elements like the player or enemies.
• Vareth Visibility Range: Vareth now has larger visibility range

Bugfixes:

• Fixed a rare crash when trying to receiving server times, and server was receiving too many requests
• Fixed projectile shield not spawning projectiles around you as it should (which resulted in no visible projectiles at all)
• Fixed meteor animation sometimes gettings stuck
• Fixed not possible weapon pickup in coop mode when playing with 2 controllers
• Fixed bugs in interacting with npcs in coop mode when playing with 2 controllers

We will very soonTM start sharing more details on what awaits you with the Season 2 content update, which is keep growing in scope. As we want to ensure that this massive update is an enjoyable experience we do not want to rush the update out, especially as SfL is now fully released and we want to schedule in enough time to thoroughly test new mechanics and fundamental changes. Currently we are expecting Season 2 to be released early next year.
