Expeditions.Viking.Update.v1.0.3-CODEX

Update v1.0.3:
General Fixes
You can now disable the game's time limit - see below for instructions
Fixed fire particle effect crashing the build
Fixed the campaign map triggering travel events and vice versa (which was preventing a lot of events from triggering)
Fixed a bug that was causing faction reputation checks in conversations to always think you had 0 reputation (note: as long as your reputation with a faction is between -20 and 20, the faction screen will not display any changes, but your reputation is changing - that's just a UI issue that we hope to address in the next patch)
Fixed a bug whereby Drugged and Intoxicated would stick around forever if they were applied during a conversation (they now last 3 hours each, so walk it off)
Added a player message for when you get status effects through conversations and when they're removed over time
Stat numbers are now coloured red if they're being reduced by an injury or status effect and orange if they would be reduced but they actually can't go any lower
Status effect icons now show up in the same places as injury icons (most importantly in the character screen and in the follower selection menu)
Added a new tutorial pop-up about the timeline
Fixed item removal nodes removing the wrong item if the intended item was equipped (specifically, Ketill's personal quest was removing his bow instead of his talisman)
Fixed the Toss ability
Added adjacency checks to the activation conditions for Heavy Swing and Hook and Slash (the latter already had a within-rush-distance check, but that's not enough)
The game will now no longer autosave during sequences where saves are disabled
Fixed conversation kills without takedown animations not updating the animation state of the victim (which would cause them to still be standing around and look alive after you killed them)
Made some improvements to loading times
Fix the issue where the absent characters would be eat in camp
Fixed an issue where followers could die in combat in an injury got worse while incapacitated
Fixed characters not going to the right positions and playing the right animations during camping
Added check for null ref when determining flanking
Removed party spawner from character creation
Added localisation strings for the Worldmap for the save menu
Messed a bit with some of the pre-set characters' morale, including raising all your huscarls (except Asleifr, because he's a douchebag)
Fixed the player marker being placed on your previous campaign map position if you sail to Scarborough from somewhere else and leave by foot
Fixed the Denmark campaign map thinking you're in Erlingr's farm the first time you leave the Homestead after the prologue
Fixed Ribe's description referring to Ragnhildr as a thegn instead of a jarl
Fixed the player's ship sails not getting the right colours from the player model anywhere other than in the Homestead
Added animation sound effects to the random filler characters in the cities
Replaced some of Ribe's characters with filler characters to shave the loading time down a bit and made sure that all filler characters who are sitting down in all three cities have their colliders disabled
Made some corrections to the French localisation
Status effects are now removed from dead people
Reduced the amount of consumables and throwables you find in lootable objects
Reduced the amount of salvage you can get from crates, barrels, and baskets
Added Hungry and Starving counts to the party information panel on the travel maps
Made some tweaks in initialization to prevent crashes when loading Ribe
Fixed not all keybinding options being shown at all times
Fixed a background not tiling in the pause menu
Improved the colour correction in Orkneyjar
Improved colour correction for Caustantin's Hall and the dungeon in Legacæstir
Improved the colour correction in the dream sequences
Removed birds from the 2nd dream since they weren't animating
Fixed the movement value localisation not being correct
Fixed a tooltip not being localized in the camping todo list
Fixed issue with abilities not getting deselected when a character was immobilised
Added an animation for characters sleeping in beds (for Eyfura and Bjørgdis)
Tile objects (ice, campfires, brambles, etc.) now trigger when combat starts (e.g. you are instantly set on fire if you stand on a campfire); however, characters no longer start on a tile with a hazard (these may appear to contradict each other but the result is that things will run as they should but your characters should be smart enough to not step on hazards on their initial turn)
Illumination does not get removed at the end of the turn anymore
Characters standing inside a campfire will now be illuminated in addition to burned
Optimised the reflection probes in all campsites, hoping that'll fix or reduce the crashes some players have reported during the timelapse
Made the AdvanceTime debug command only accept positive numbers

Change log: Quests
Made it so you can trigger the Althing and end the game if you have 100 Prosperity even if you haven't completed any other questline
Fixed a bunch of Play Once Only-related issues in various conversations

Fixed not being able to make the persecutors in Legacæstir leave you alone under certain conditions
Fixed the cult in Legacæstir not leaving the ruins if you had convinced them to join you at Orkneyjar

Fixed Iovita attacking you if you approached her after having given her the Aquila
Fixed the fight in the Legacæstir dungeon triggering even though you had already fought it
Fixed getting stuck by the bridge in Legacæstir if you had already fought the persecutors (ah, that quest really is the gift that keeps on giving)

Disabled the option to tell Ragnhildr you killed the Rats if you didn't kill the Rats
Made the Red Wedding party not spawn if the Wait goal is Inactive, instead of if Wait is Not Completed and Not Failed
Moved the goal marker for the first Red Wedding goal from the groom's father onto the house door so it doesn't go to a campaign map marker when the wedding party despawns
Fixed the Red Wedding party spawning in during the night if they had previously spawned in during the day
Fixed the scared man in the Barghest quest spawning in during the day if he had previously spawned in during the night, but at the same time accidentally inverted his spawn conditions so he now spawns only during the day - will fix that in the next patch, as it doesn't break anything

Disabled the dialogue option to sacrifice a mercenary in Skerninge because it wasn't working
Fixed Hulda only appearing the first time you load Skjern after the prologue

Fixed Leofric showing up in Osred's hall even if you fight him before going there
Fixed Grainne talking about Conall as if he's dead even if you brought him in alive (in English and German - we're awaiting translations for the other languages)

Fixed not getting the proper ID for a randomly selected character in the stray boat event
Fixed being able to talk to Maban before you catch the thieving child, thereby never being able to complete that goal; also fixed being able to enter the houses before you get the relevant quests
Removed the extra coin pile in the merchant's house in Eoforwic and fixed the level transition goal marker in that scene and the shire gerefa's house showing up at 0.0.0 instead of the door
Made it so you can pick up the knife in the wall in one of the entrable homes in Eoforwic and set the loot to owned
Set everything to owned in the 2nd Eoforwic house and made the lord of the house lie in his bed

Fixed the robbers on the ridge in the swamp not reacting if you had gone there once before
Fixed an NPC Speech node in the TravelInfection random event that should have been a Stored NPC Speech node
Fixed a potential problem with the feud quest in Ribe not triggering; unfortunately we couldn't reproduce it, so we're not sure if the fix works

Fixed a typo "somethng" in the conversation with Ingimarr in his house
Tweaked the trader hex map in Skerninge

Fixed a rogue hex in the bandit camp and not being able walk between the barricades
Added the missing "Blacksmith" area map marker localization for Orkney to all localizations

Disabling the Time Limit
By popular demand we've implemented a way for you to disable the game-over that you'll normally get if you run out of time in either campaign. Time will still pass as normal and the timeline will appear to progress, but once it reaches the end, nothing will happen.

To activate this:

First find your config file. It should be in \Documents\My Games\Expeditions Viking\Config.
Open Config.ini with your text editor of choice (Notepad will do nicely).
Locate the [PlayerSettings] section and add the following line TimeGameOver=False at the end of it, for example:
[PlayerSettings]
GameLanguage=English
GoalMarkerBehaviour=ShowAll
Dismemberment=True
Tutorial=False
DisplayHexes=False
DisplayHelmets=True
EdgePanning=True
ControlStyle=CRPG
TimeGameOver=False
Save the file and open the game.
To verify that the time limit is disabled, hover over your marker or the icon at the end of the timeline. It should say, in a red font: "Running out of time is currently disabled." Note that this will only show up in the English or English (Norse Names) localisations so far, because we haven't had the new strings localised yet.

Disabling the time limit will also disable all difficulty-related achievements for finishing the game.

As mentioned somewhere in the changelist above, to complement this new feature we have also changed the "advancetime" cheat so it no longer accepts negative numbers.

Of course there are things that stop making sense when you disable the timeline. We assume that if you do this, you don't particularly care about the narrative consistency of the game,do not be suprised if the game suddenly skips almost a year into the future, and a title card proclaims the year to be 789 AD when your in-game clock says 790 or something like that.


Video crash bypass instructions
If your game has been crashing immediately after character creation or immediately upon opening, try adding the following anywhere in your config file:

[VideoPlaybackSettings]
DoPlayVideos=False

The side effect is that you will not get any videos. This is mainly a problem for the end of the game, since the denoument will not play. We're still working on a "proper" fix for a later update.
