Scavenger SV-4 Patch Notes — April 29, 2018
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
In space, no one can hear you receiving the v1.07 patch...
Patch notes:
- Update: The configtool has been slightly rearranged to make more usable space for options, because...
- Quality of Life: Two new bindable controls have been added: Rover - Pick Up, and Rover - Recall. You can bind them to keys or gamepad buttons in the config tool. Thanks for the suggestion, Shadowdark and others.
- Balance Adjustment: Hostile software is now significantly more aggressive, and occurs slightly more often. Thanks, TheMouseMaster.
- Improvement: Name generation has been somewhat improved, with more improvements to come in v1.08 - thanks, Maxime.
- Bug fix: Active research was only working on Phase Two. It now works on all phases as intended. Thanks for spotting this, TheMouseMaster.
- Bug fix: Using invalid FOV settings crashed the game. It now clamps these values to 30-135. Thanks, Treadlight.
- Bug fix: Thermally Efficient devices weren't - they actually made MORE heat due to a code error. Thanks for catching this, Dragodonv2.
- Bug fix: Fixed a Z-sorting bug where the mouse cursor could under certain circumstances slide underneath display screens. Thanks, Mat0Man.
- Concession: There is now a configtool option to disable the jump scare in the game, for those who found it to be cheap or distressing.
If after patching the game fails to create worlds, or the config tool stops working, or you can't launch the game at all, it is probably a false positive from your antivirus. I've done all that I can to reduce this, but Cylance in particular still triggers a false positive.

Addendum:
The bug fix on the mouse cursor interacted poorly with the atmospherics terminal overlay, so I've uploaded a hotfix for that as well.
