Genome Guardian Patch 4.2.0 Notes – July 23, 2024
CHANGES
- Weapon mods would immediately get sorted by colour when you add one to a row, but I’m removing this because it just doesn’t serve any purpose. DNA Letters need to display in order though, of course.
- [spoiler]There’s now a hint before you set out to find your true purpose that states the kind of build you’ll need before you proceed.[/spoiler]
FIXES
- (award) 10000 Unspent Research: will now trigger more reliably.
- Things that check if a projectile “missed” will now work properly on projectiles with Bounce.
- Fixed a rare scenario where you wouldn’t get the unlocks associated with finishing the story (if this happens to you, restart the game and you’ll get them).
- Large projectiles with both Proximity and Sticky would stick to the sides (or never move at all) when you fired them in Shmup Mode.
- (perk) Briefcase: there wasn’t a bug with the perk, but rather, everyone was experiencing the effects of this perk regardless of whether it was equipped (and this has been going on for a while now and nobody noticed.
- Speed reduction on explosive weapons was affecting the Knockback value displayed when hovering over the weapon during gameplay (note that it never actually changed the Knockback value itself).
- The Arsenal’s weapon stats were being affected by having the Inferno turret selected.
- I may have fixed a bug where music/sound would still play when muted under some circumstances (this bug was seemingly specific to Windows 11 users).
- The button for adding the Pierce weapon mod to a weapon that already has Pierce would sometimes be green, when it was supposed to be red (like how it works for Burn).
- In general there’s less “flickeryness” when hovering over DNA Letters and mod slots.
- Sometimes sound (and music) would cut out temporarily if too many sounds played in a short amount of time (looking at you, CCGT Rail Splitshot) – this is handled now, and in a very elegant manner that you’ll never notice.
- (I thought I fixed this in a previous patch, sorry!) Power-ups will no longer count as “hitting” you if they touch you or reach the bottom of the screen in Shmup Mode.
