Patch Release: 1.0.499

Thanks again to everyone continuing to play Aether & Iron and share feedback. This update introduces a new way to play for those who want higher stakes, alongside a range of accessibility options, UI improvements, and new sound effects.

We’ve also addressed a few lingering issues around achievements, dialogue flow, and item rewards.

Patch Notes

New

• Enabled the “Single Save” modifier for campaigns, if you want to play with only a single save. No save scumming!

• Added a new option to the settings to enable/disable opaque roads during combat, which helps to reduce motion.

Improved

Narrative & Scenes

• Added new emotes and reactions to conversations in the Root Cellar.

• Added alarm sound effects when escaping The Tomb .

• Added new sound effects when speaking to Popper.

• Added new sound effects when speaking to Banger .

• Added a pause when playing silent dialogue lines during autoplay so it doesn’t immediately skip to the next line.

• Improved the quality of the safehouse environment when playing on “Low” graphics settings.

UI/UX

• Made it harder to delete your campaigns. The “Delete” button has been removed, and a campaign will automatically delete itself when you delete all save files within it.

• Conversations now pause when receiving items and when morale changes, so there’s time to view notifications in the conversation history.

• Added a warning pop-up when trying to save and out of disk space.

Misc

• Improved the starting loadout of Benny’s vehicle.

Fixed

Combat

• Fixed issue where available combat actions were updating slightly later than when a new turn starts.

Narrative & Scenes

• Fixed dialogue flow issue when inspecting Mr Blanc’s files in the Hidden Room .

• Fixed issue where you could receive multiple Moonshine Casks during Good To The Last Drop .

UI/UX

• Fixed incorrect icon showing for the “Respec” button in the Talent Screen.

Misc

• Fixed issue with main mission-related achievements not firing when expected.

• Fixed some POIs at the International Docks that were not translated.
