Known Issues
Legend of the Veil
- The Legend of Veil is currently in a very early stage of development, and therefore contains a range of prototype artwork, animations, UI, cutscenes and assets throughout the experience. The team are not currently looking for feedback on these clear placeholder areas of the experience.
- Veil Stones slotted into the Veil of the Ancients can become invisible after a player’s death or upon disconnecting. This is visual only and does not affect the ability to complete or make progress on the Voyage.
- Crews migrating servers during the Voyage can cause various issues preventing progress.
Legend of the Veil – Haunted Islands
- Various statues are in incorrect locations, in the water or in the air, and may not be interactable.
- Picking up a Flames of Fate will override the Enchanted Lantern.
- When progressing a Haunted Island quest, the placeholder friendly Golden Skeletons are currently able to be damaged and killed by players.
If the whole crew dies during the Haunted Islands’ encounter, the quest module will be completed.
Phantoms do not spawn after lighting the central beacon on the Haunted Islands.
Phantoms and Ancient Skeletons do not spawn on Haunted Islands after solo crew players die and respawn.
Achievements
- The ‘Full Billow’ Achievement is not currently earnable when completing the required criteria.
Fixed Issues
General
- During an Ashen Lord Encounter, when an Ashen Lord lunges at a player they will now animate correctly during the leap.
- Shooting while moving forwards, then sprinting and abruptly stopping should no longer cause the weapon reload animation to be cut short.
- When enabling Let Games Read To Me, while the game is loading the narration now clearly informs players the title is loading.
Legend of the Veil
- Athena treasure recovered from the Legend of the Veil Voyage can now be sold to the Reaper’s Bones.
Legend of the Veil – Haunted Forts
When defeating the Haunted Fort encounter, any Phantoms remaining will now be destroyed.
When leaving or defeating a Haunted Fort encounter, the area lighting will now fade out and return to normal.
Retrieving the final Veil Stone from the Haunted Fort and returning it to the Veil of the Ancients without interacting with any other items will no longer prevent the Voyage from progressing.
Legend of the Veil – Haunted Islands
When interacting with Belle, players will now find her facial animations better match the dialogue.
When lighting the final brazier, the storm now fades into the area.
Pirate Emporium
