Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector - v1.0.2
Posted: Thu Aug 19, 2021 3:22 pm
Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector v1.0.2 has arrived, bringing with it several fixes and improvements:
Changes
- Implemented a campaign unit requisition system. When enabled, limits are placed on the number of units that can be added to the army between missions. This system is on by default for all difficulty settings from Astartes up, and can be controlled via campaign difficulty settings. (Requires starting a new campaign)
- Implemented a lightweight veterancy system in the Age of Crimson Dawn campaign. For each battle a unit survives, they gain +1 accuracy and +1 crit. change.
- Added more graphics options. It's now possible to control shadow quality, disable various effects and better control the maximum frame rate to reduce GPU load.
- Added more tooltips with weapon information. Weappon stats are now shown in the army manager and for enemies in the Unit Inspection UI in battles
- Added AI for Conquerer and Strategic Command skirmish objectives. All three skirmish modes are now available for offline play against AI
- The "Maximum Frame Rate" setting is disabled when v-sync is enabled to better reflect when the setting is used. (When v-sync is enabled, setting a maximum frame rate is redundant, as v-sync caps the frame rate.)
- Updated Blood Angels ability descriptions for Quickening, Shield of Sanguinius, Jump Pack, Lucifer Pattern Engine, Anti-Grav Uplift and Black Rage for clarity
- Updated Tyranid ability descriptions for Catalyst, Spore Cloud, Swarm Tactics and Symbiotic Targeting for clarity.
- Improved performance of volumetric fog across a range of missions
- Various improvements to the basic combat tutorial for gamepad users
