Developer Logic Artists and publisher THQ Nordic have revealed that turn-based RPG Expeditions: Rome will receive a free update in the near future. The update is currently available in the Steam beta branch, and you can find how to access it here.
“Motivated by a surge in discussion on the forums after a recent sale, we’ve put together a small but substantial patch to address the issues we’ve seen reported most frequently. While we were rummaging around in the project files already, we made a few improvements to the gameplay, most notably changing the way pacification missions are started so it matches what’s happening in the fiction (you’re sending people to handle it, not going there yourself) and adding an option to disable them completely – particularly handy for second or third playthroughs when you just want to get on with the story.”
Expeditions: Rome – Upcoming Update Includes:
- Fixed a bug that could cause the game to freeze after starting Act 4 on the Die is Cast path (previously, this freeze could be resolved by pressing escape twice and waiting 10 seconds).
- Fixed a mistake that caused the unique item Spectacle to drop as only a schematic instead of the actual item. This fix is retroactive: When loading an existing save, if you have the schematic, you will now receive the actual item.
- Changed the piercing damage affix of Tutankhamon’s Dagger from a % modifier (that didn’t do anything on this weapon) to a corresponding flat addition modifier. Note: in existing save-games you will need to dismantle and recraft the weapon for this to take effect.
- Fixed a bug that caused the Gracing Shot skill to receive its accuracy penalty twice.
- Fixed a bug where a specific sequence could cause you to get stuck in the Golden Wolf quest during the step where you must talk to Lunja. Existing saves stuck in this state should also now resolve themselves upon re-loading in the new version.
- Fixed an issue where in most cases you were unable to craft Tier 2 and 3 version of the Cocles unique armour.
- Fixed a bug where observatories could sometimes spawn unreachable loot.
- Minor tweak to the navigation mesh in the Africa world map.
- Added missing male snoring sounds to ambient sleeping animations.
