Fixed the issue where the To Do list's reminder about unassigned shifts would not account for the Heavy Sleeper skill.

Fixed a line of description in the Asleifr romance that was being displayed as dialogue.

Fixed the conversation about Leofric's death/defeat playing a second time in York if you did Hadrian's Wall for the Vikings.

Patch 1.0.7.2 (01st December 2017)

Asset bundles are now left in memory since that seems to reduce the amount of crashes we get from that Unity loading bug that's haunted us since release.

Fixed issue with subtitles not loading correctly when changing game language.

Fixed null ref when scanning path system which could cause the save and load menus to show up empty.

Fixed a game logic bug whereby the main storyline could break in Scarborough if you sided with the bandits, fought Maucolyn and Morcant in front of the village, raided the convent with the bandits but without Morcant, and then betrayed the bandits outside the convent.

Fixed bug when curing a player that falls in a trip wire.

Patch 1.0.6.1 (18 September 2017)

In version 1.0.6, all portraits are now loaded from your Documents directory in the folder \My Games\Expeditions Viking\Custom Portraits. If you want to add your own portraits to the game, you must create 5 different versions of each portrait in specific sizes and place them in that directory. The first time you launch the game in 1.0.6, it will write all our portraits into that folder, and you can use those portraits to see how it needs to be set up.

New portraits must meet the following requirements:

The files can be either .png or .jpg.

Each portrait's filename must end with a keyword that reflects its size: Large, Medium, Small, Tiny, or Camping.

Female portraits must contain the word "Female" anywhere in the filename. Otherwise the portrait will be treated as male (because patriarchy).

Note that the Camping portraits contain a frame. You can just cut that out of an existing portrait with your image editing software of choice.

You can overwrite an existing portrait by simply replacing its files with a set of identically named files in that folder.

If you overwrite an existing portrait, that portrait will be replaced with your new version in your game, without you having to start over in your playthrough. If you want to reset this portrait to the original later, you can simply delete the portrait files from the Custom Portraits folder, and it will be restored by the game next time you launch it.

All portraits included with Expeditions: Viking are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International Public License In simple terms, you are allowed to remix, tweak, and build upon our work non-commercially, but you must credit Logic Artists or Expeditions: Viking and you must license your new creations under identical terms (no making money off of our work, please!)

If you find that your Custom Portraits folder is empty, it's because something on your computer is denying write access to Expeditions: Viking. In 1.0.6 this was breaking the portraits entirely, which is what 1.0.6.1 was created to address. As per 1.0.6.1 the game will fall back to the internal portraits contained in the data files, but that still means you won't get any portraits written to your custom portraits folder. You can still add new portraits there which will then show up in the game, but if you want to see the original portraits you'll have to find a way to give the game write access to that folder - you can try disabling your firewall and antivirus or just checking your user permissions. If your user account simply doesn't have admin access, you may need to talk to your admin.

Custom localisation and random events

This update also introduces support for loading in custom localisation files and user-created random events. Because of the way the scripting system in Viking works, there is no way for us to let you add new characters with new conversations to the game, but the random events that trigger on the campaign maps and during travel are loaded in dynamically, and now you can add new events yourself or even overwrite existing events.

In other words, you can now write your own damn Aife romance events and stop bothering us about it!
Toolset

We have also released our toolset which includes some example files, all of our conversation work files, and the editor we used to set up all our conversations in the game. It comes with a PDF manual with thorough instructions for how to set up your own localisation files or add your own random events.
Change log

Since this update has had a particularly long gestation period (for our standards), we've decided not to include a full change list this time around. Instead, we're bringing you just the highlights. If you wish to know about any particular bug that's been bothering you, which isn't mentioned here, feel free to ask in the comments on this thread.

Fixed another way it was possible to get stuck in the Unwanted Guests side quest by clicking on things in the wrong order multiple times in a row

Made the intro conversation to the pig feud quest just play again if you interrupt it the first time and retrigger it later

Fixed a bug whereby the start time for all time-based status effects except Hung Over was not being set, causing them to be immediately removed again

Fixed an issue where allied combatants would sometimes not return to being NPCs

Fixed characters being able to traverse blocked hexes in two encounters

Fixed Torfinn not getting removed as a follower when you leave Skjern Forest before completing his quest, causing him to only spawn every 2nd time you enter the forest

Fixed the Swipe ability not dealing damage to enemies around the target if the target was killed

Fixed Cure and Restore abilities using reach distance when equipped with a spear

Fixed the Escaped Thralls conversation in Perth being able to trigger during any of the battles despite the thralls not being around

Fixed the combat character tooltips showing the selected character's crit chance in place of the hovered character's crit chance

Fixed a few typos in dialogue

Fixed an issue where some status effect icons would sometimes appear white in the camping interface

Fixed the error message for having spent the necessary action in the utility item tooltips looking in the wrong localisation file

And many other minor things.
Patch 1.0.5 (16th June 2017)

Hello, and thanks for checking in with us again. Today we've released update 1.0.5 for Expeditions: Viking. In addition to some bug fixes, this version contains several major changes to game balance that I will outline separately before we get to the change log.
New caps on skill ranks

The most significant change we've made is to introduce caps on all skill ranks based on the total amount of skill points you've spent. Ranks 1 and 2 are freely accessible, but in order to upgrade a skill to rank 3 you must have spent a total of 100 SP. To reach rank 4, you must have spent 175, and to max out a skill at rank 5 you must have spent a total of 250 SP. Recall that you begin the game with 50 SP and that there is a total of just over 300 SP in the campaign. The result is that you'll have no skills above rank 3 when you go to Britain, and you won't be able to level up to rank 5 until quite late in the game.

This update trades away some freedom of choice to enforce a better levelling curve. Previously, we let you max out your weapon skills quite early in the game, with the predictable result that you would outpace the enemies before you even reached Britain, and the enemies wouldn't begin to catch up until near the end of the game. Now, you're forced to distribute your points among the different categories, perhaps buying some Utility and Passive skills for a more well-rounded character. This does have the drawback that characters will be a bit less specialised, but the improvement to the game's difficult curve is profound.

Surprise round on enemy initiative

A new feature is the so-called Surprise Round, which occurs when you trigger an encounter where the enemy acts first. Previously the enemy would get a full turn before you had any chance to position your hirdmen. Since there is no formation system in the game, this felt unfair. From version 1.0.5 and onwards, the player always acts first, but in encounters where the enemy would previously begin, the player will not have any attack action, nor a bonus action in the first turn. In other words you can only move or change your weapons in your first turn because your party was caught by surprise. This has also allowed us to change the initiative back to Enemy-first on all the encounters that were previously set to Player-first to avoid unfairness. The result is a slight but significant increase in difficulty in many encounters throughout the game.

Bear in mind that this update is not the final word on difficulty. These are major changes that will fix our difficulty issues, but they are not intended to increase the upper ends of difficulty on the Hard and Insane settings. The next update will contain more tweaks intended to make the Hard and Insane settings live up to their name, as well as the promised Iron Man mode.

And now for the full change list. As with the 1.0.4 update, I have divided it into two sections: one for changes and additions, and one for fixes. Since this update has a far greater variety of changes than previous patches, I've decided to further subdivide each section into categories based on the type of change or fix.

Changes and additions New stuff

As explained above, added new "surprise round" feature to allow player positioning before enemy turn when ambushed

Added full Danish localisation

Added three new campsite scenes to the Denmark campaign for improved visual variation: Plains 2, Marsh 2, and Deep Forest

Added new animations for Taunt and Dust abilities

Added a new generic support ability animation for when you're wielding a spear

Added an animation for consumable utility items (ie. drinking potions)
Skills and items

As described above, skill upgrades are now capped by your total amount of SP spent, so you must spend 150 SP to upgrade a skill to rank 3, 200 for rank 4, and 250 for rank 5

Made substantial improvements to the algorithm that assigns skills to enemies by rank and archetype, which will increase the effectiveness of enemies throughout the game

Made the Archer archetype use axe and shield instead of dane-axe or spear, and changed the loadouts of all Archer characters in the game accordingly

Items crafted with the Artisan skill can no longer get the "Cursed" property

Decreased the cost reduction for repairing and the gain % from deconstructing items

Discarding a weapon will now yield at least 1 Salvage or Hide even if you have no Repair skill

Increased item degradation during combat from 1 point per crit to 10% of max durability per crit

Added a 50% chance each round that a character is on fire that they'll get a Burn injury - subsequent rounds of being on fire then has a 25% chance of the injury deteriorating

Taunt will now make the target move towards the caster even if they can't entirely reach them - they'll just move as far as they can

Changed the Aimed Shot ability to have a 40% damage penalty instead of a 5 percent-point crit chance bonus, and changed Sharpshooter to reduce that penalty from 40% to 20%

Sharpshooter now requires Bow on rank 3, Steady Hands no longer has a skill requirement, and Backstabber now costs 4 SP instead of 8

Accuracy for ranged attacks now falls off by 6 points per hex instead of 5

Walk Your Shots now reduces the per-hex distance fall-off for ranged attacks back to 5 instead of simply adding 5 points every time you take a shot

Parrying no longer cancels all damage from the parried attack - the parrying character takes damage as normal, but with the doubled base DR from Parrying

Changed Opportunist so that attacks of opportunity now apply Stunned to the target if you have the skill, instead of just giving you an extra AoO every round - also raised its cost from 3 SP to 6

Increased the damage of Hailstorm from 50% normal attack damage to 75% normal attack damage and reduced its charges from 2 to 1

Changed Stone Fists from a 10 point bonus to Melee Damage to a 10 point bonus to Armour Piercing damage

Raised the cost of Powerful Kick from 6 SP to 9

Revive is now restricted to 2 charges

Gave pit traps a massive damage buff

Increased all Tinkering material costs

Reach weapons no longer inflict non-lethal damage at close range, since this was not explained anywhere
Encounters

Changed quite a few of the encounters in the game to have the enemies start, which is no longer frustrating now that we have the surprise round feature

Nerfed the damage of all wolf types except the Wolf Mothers, whose damage is now doubled

Added a couple of guards in Perth's treasury and set all the loot in the main area to Owned - when you visit during the betrayal, the guards have been killed and the loot is no longer Owned

Buffed all occupied campsite fights in Britain and tweaked the cover in some of the scenes

Buffed the assassins in Ribe

Buffed the fight against the youngsters in the Ravine Cave

All the bounty fights have received a significant buff

Added reinforcements to both of the wall fights during the invasion of York

Doubled the number of enemies in the prisoner room fight in York's dungeon

Made Leofric and Steinn brown-haired and made Steinn waaa-hay-haaay more badass

The monks and nuns in Lindisfarne Church and the Scarborough Convent will now run into corners and cower in fear when you attack (the Cower animation is new)

Made the female guard outside the Skerninge passage grave drop a damaged, cursed chain mail upon her death
Other changes

Added icon tooltips to the Tinkering menu

Injuries now deteriorate in combat with a probability based on how long the character has been incapacitated - characters can never die outright in combat, however

Injuries now deteriorate during camping as well, and we've added some UI logic for this to work - fatally injured characters can die when you make camp if left untreated

Increased injury penalties

Tweaked injury settings to allow groin and chest punctures and eye trauma

Reduced the Armour-smithing level of every blacksmith in the game by 1

Made the faction reputation number show up even when your faction reputation is Neutral

Added a menu option for disabling reflection probes so you don't have to mess with the config

Made the farmer in Skerninge and his wife lie on the ground to match the description text

Added thrall deco characters to the homestead depending on how many Slaves you have (up to about a dozen)

Added a Medium reputation increase if you complete the Rats quest peacefully

Reflection probes will now automatically be disabled the first time you launch the game on an Intel videocard, and you'll get a pop-up about it - you can manually re-enable them afterwards if you'll risk it

Tweaked the morale changes in the initial conversation with Maban so they're more intuitive
Bug fixes Stability and performance

Fixed one more set of crashes related to loading characters into the scene

Fixed the unreproducible issue some players had reported where the game would crash at the end of camping and potentially at the end of a fight

Added check so corrupted fog of war files do not prevent loading scenes

Made some optimisation in the level loading
Quest logic

Fixed the Ab Urbe Condita side quest hanging around in your quest log even if you choose an outcome for Chester that causes Fabian Quintus to leave, so you can't complete it anymore

Fixed a bug whereby Myrddin would not spawn in the stone circle if you entered his cave instead of bringing Cillian directly to him after the rescue

Fixed a spot where you could get stuck after the battle for Yngilwood

Fixed a bug where you could start the Snakes Among the Trees or Lost Hunting Party side quests during the Battle of Yngilwood if you hadn't started them previously

Fixed the fight at the entrance to Jelling potentially repeating with no enemies if you leave the town through the hidden tunnel and then attempt to re-enter it from outside

Fixed an issue where Grainne would sometimes appear inside Caustantin's hall after the wedding when she wasn't supposed to

Fixed a bug whereby you could no longer free the Yngilwood Scout's loved one in the York Dungeon if you chose not to do so the first time you were given the option

Added a fade-out if you sentence Geirmundr in Orkney to the blood eagle, during which he'll be despawned

Fixed the non-interactive parts of Geirmundr's "camp" in Orkney also highlighting along with the interactive parts

Skallagrimr and the other thegns will now disappear from Steinn's house once you complete the first of the Viking ending quests

Received and implemented the Russian and French versions of a single branch of conversation with Hulda that had been missed in the original localisations for those two languages

Fixed the higher difficulty-related completion achievements not unlocking the lower levels

Fixed being able to interact with the haystack behind Erlingr's farm after the fight if you already set fire to it once

Fixed most of the dead characters who were supposed to show up as ghosts in Grimnir's Helheimr dream not showing up

Fixed Olbjørn and Grimkell's character spawners creating a very long delay in loading the goodbye scene in Skjern if they were killed on Holmgang Island

Fixed Maucolyn not being set as immortal if you encounter him at the village after raiding the monastery, which could result in you speaking to a very clearly dead man

Fixed Conall mac Taidg's death variable not being set, causing some narrative inconsistencies

Fixed an error when teleporting the player party to waypoints in conversations which showed up if you lost the fight against Maucolyn in front of the village

Fixed a bug whereby if you set an ambush for Osred's men in The Mercian Connection and leave any of them alive, the fight in front of the Roman tower wouldn't begin

Osred's spy token will now be removed from your inventory when you show it to a scout in Yngilwood

Changed the logic in Torfinn's tree conversations a bit to make the quest more robust

Reduced the trigger radius on the sewer tunnel conversation in Chester to be what it's supposed to be
Skills and items

Fixed a bug that was causing characters to play their incapacitation barks at entirely the wrong times during combat

Fixed the highest rank ability of each skill not displaying its action type in its tooltip

Fixed several issues with the implementation of Gungnir's special property - the weapon will now damage enemies in the two hexes in front of you, three if you're using Extend

Fixed an issue where pre-damaged looted items would be using the current Salvage value to calculate tiers rather than the undamaged one

Resistances are now capped at 100% in the UI

Fixed Adrenaline Junkie applying its bonus as soon as a character is at less than max health, instead of only when they drop below 20% as described

Fixed the missing icon for the British silver cross talisman types

Replaced an old hack to prevent non-Vikings from getting the Dane-Axe skill with a more general solution that checks the nationality condition for all skills before assigning them (this will also prevent non-Vikings from buying Galder, which they cannot use anyway)

Removed the track quest input from all contexts except Default (which will stop it showing up in the other sections of the input bindings)

Fixed the Amulet of Macha not getting its special property correctly (this fix is not retroactive, if you already picked up the Amulet of Macha, it will remain useless - however you can give yourself a new, working amulet with the console command giveitem party Talisman_Macha)

Fixed a 10-second pause caused by a timeout if a Parrying character is Stunned and subsequently attacked; all immobilisation now cancels Parrying as well as Hypnotised, Interrupting, Panicked, and Ready

You can no longer parry attacks from weapons with reach from 2 or more tiles away

Fixed missing sound effects on the Parrying animations

You can no longer trigger an execution with any weapon type other than a sword

Fixed a pretty unlikely combat timeout that would happen if Condemned characters took fire damage

Fixed the Tactical Move button being selectable even if no attack action was possible

Fixed Stunned animation not being reset if a character is defeated while that animation is playing

Fixed the wolf mothers' Nuzzle ability placing the wolf inside the incapacitated wolf's tile instead of adjacent to it

Fixed the Sacrament ability tripling ally resistances instead of doubling it as intended
Other fixes

Fixed certain music tracks being controlled by the main volume slider instead of the music slider

Fixed the input system overwriting user settings with the defaults in some situations

Removed Crouch Control from the input settings

Fixed non-lethal attacks being able to proc critical hits

Fixed certain blacksmiths being set up with a higher armour-smithing rating than is actually possible, which broke the UI

Fixed bug where an occupied campsite would be marked as captured when entering the campsite but then reloading the previous saved file without even playing through the fight

Fixed an issue where tinkering items in camping might not be loaded properly by the save system

Fixed a missing line of subtitles in the intro cinematic in English and English (Norse Names)

A loading screen will now be displayed while loading the main menu after the credits

Fixed a typo "a dirty flash" (should have been flask) in Røskva's first romance conversation

Fixed a typo in the to-do list reminder for unassigned shifts

Nefja and Ketill can no longer die from injuries in Denmark

Fixed switch weapon button being greyed out after an attack of opportunity on the selected character

Removed a lootable barrel from inside a house in Perth

Added ability icons for the wolf abilities so they don't show up as white squares when you look at wolves with the character info panel, and added explanatory tooltips for them as well

Fixed a weird-looking tree in the Britain forest menhir campsite
Patch 1.0.4 (19th May 2017)

The main purpose of this patch was to fix the last of the crashes - a particularly tricky crash that turned out to be caused by Unity's reflection probes when our day/night cycle asks them to re-render. The crash mostly happened on Intel cards and certain AMD cards.
Disabling reflection probes

For now, we've added an option for disabling the reflection probes. If you're still getting the occasional loading screen crash or if the game is crashing during the camping timelapse, try enabling this option - especially if you're running the game on an Intel or AMD card:

Open your config file - it's in your Documents folder by default that's

C:\Users\Logic Artists\Documents\My Games\Expeditions Viking\Config

Locate the [VideoSettings] section, and add the following line at the bottom: ReflectionProbes=False

That's it - that should stop the crashes. Without reflection probes, the lighting in the scene will not look quite as natural as it does with the probes enabled, but it's better than crashes.

Of course we've also managed to make a number of other fixes and improvements while we were at it. We've even managed to add a wee bit more content.
Additional Content and Balancing

Gave Aife a new ability that's unique to her: Snaring

Made non-fatal injuries more likely to deteriorate

Changed the accuracy penalty for Quick Shot from a modifier to a multiplier (ie. from 30 points to 30%)

Changed Fatigued, Hungry, and Starving so they complement each other better: Fatigued now reduces Strength, Finesse, and Perception while Hungry and Starving reduces Endurance and Sense

Increased the duration on Well Fed to take into account the time spent camping

Added hotkeys for activating abilities in the hotbar

Made the game heal all injuries and reset fatigue and hunger after Hrodgærda's attack on Skjern

Tactical Move can no longer be activated if you would have no moves left afterwards, to prevent you from cheating yourself

Grimulfr will no longer show up in Skjern during summer until you've completed the main objective in Scarborough

Made it so you get the Gain Power goal instead of the Speak To Skallagrimr goal if you side with Aiblinn in Dun Phris before you've done Lindisfarne

Characters no longer drop Salvage

Added a wave of reinforcements to the entrance guards in Jelling and did a general polish pass on the scene

Added a bunch of deco characters fighting in the background in Jelling, and a few civilians that will flee if you approach them - also made a couple of houses burn

All Northumbrian and Pict quests will now be failed when you side with Aiblinn in Dun Phris, to avoid narrative inconsistency

Disabled some of the York entrance one-liners in the event you've invaded Northumbria, and made it so the guards are replaced by either Picts or Vikings depending on your choices
Bug fixes

Improved stability.

Fixed Fog of War not being reset correctly when starting a new game

Fixed a gamebreaking quest logic bug whereby Myrddin would be noninteractive if you fought the villagers without him and Cillian died (because a goal was set as optional when it should have been mandatory)

Fixed the treasure in the passage grave becoming uninteractive if you lose the fight against the Underground Ones and subsequently choose not to pick up the treasure first time you interact with it

Fixed an issue where you wouldn't be able to complete Parsley Sage Rosemary Thyme if you let Morcant go after raiding the monastery

Switched the numbers for schematics in armour crafting to be consistent with how the numbers are displayed in the Tinkering menu

Confirmation boxes originating from conversation can't be dismissed anymore (which means you can no longer avoid travel ambushes by pressing Escape...)

Fixed the food selection in camping prioritising Rations rather than Meat

Tyr's Favour can now only be used by Viking enemies as intended - it's a bit of a hack for now, as the AI skill selection will still assign Galder to non-Vikings, but we'll deal with that later

Cleaned up and polished the ambient audio in Jelling

Fixed Wreckers in Scarborough not staying gone if you had gotten rid of them peacefully

Fixed the looters in Donncoirce Homestead coming back if you had convinced them to leave

Made the game logic that triggers Osred's conversation with Æthelred after his defeat a bit more robust to ensure that it won't get stuck

As always, we'd like to thank you all for your help in identifying these issues. Now that the worst bugs are ironed out, we're going to start digging into the nice-to-have list. The next update will take a bit longer, but it'll also contain a bunch of new stuff. Stay tuned for more information :)
Patch 1.0.3 (19th May 2017) Known Issue: Loading Crash

We've gotten a bit closer to tracking down the loading crash that some players are still experiencing, but we believe the crash still exists in this patch. We think it may be an issue with the version of Unity that we used for the game. Fixing it is our current highest priority.

A small group of users may be experiencing a different error related to video playback at the start of the game. Please read the bottom section of this post for instructions on how to bypass this as we look into a solution.
Change log: General Fixes

You can now disable the game's time limit - see below for instructions

Fixed fire particle effect crashing the build

Fixed the campaign map triggering travel events and vice versa (which was preventing a lot of events from triggering)

Fixed a bug that was causing faction reputation checks in conversations to always think you had 0 reputation (note: as long as your reputation with a faction is between -20 and 20, the faction screen will not display any changes, but your reputation is changing - that's just a UI issue that we hope to address in the next patch)

Fixed a bug whereby Drugged and Intoxicated would stick around forever if they were applied during a conversation (they now last 3 hours each, so walk it off)

Added a player message for when you get status effects through conversations and when they're removed over time

Stat numbers are now coloured red if they're being reduced by an injury or status effect and orange if they would be reduced but they actually can't go any lower

Status effect icons now show up in the same places as injury icons (most importantly in the character screen and in the follower selection menu)

Added a new tutorial pop-up about the timeline

Fixed item removal nodes removing the wrong item if the intended item was equipped (specifically, Ketill's personal quest was removing his bow instead of his talisman)

Fixed the Toss ability

Added adjacency checks to the activation conditions for Heavy Swing and Hook and Slash (the latter already had a within-rush-distance check, but that's not enough)

The game will now no longer autosave during sequences where saves are disabled

Fixed conversation kills without takedown animations not updating the animation state of the victim (which would cause them to still be standing around and look alive after you killed them)

Made some improvements to loading times

Fix the issue where the absent characters would be eat in camp

Fixed an issue where followers could die in combat in an injury got worse while incapacitated

Fixed characters not going to the right positions and playing the right animations during camping

Added check for null ref when determining flanking

Removed party spawner from character creation

Added localisation strings for the Worldmap for the save menu

Messed a bit with some of the pre-set characters' morale, including raising all your huscarls (except Asleifr, because he's a douchebag)

Fixed the player marker being placed on your previous campaign map position if you sail to Scarborough from somewhere else and leave by foot

Fixed the Denmark campaign map thinking you're in Erlingr's farm the first time you leave the Homestead after the prologue

Fixed Ribe's description referring to Ragnhildr as a thegn instead of a jarl

Fixed the player's ship sails not getting the right colours from the player model anywhere other than in the Homestead

Made some corrections to the French localisation

Status effects are now removed from dead people

Reduced the amount of consumables and throwables you find in lootable objects

Reduced the amount of salvage you can get from crates, barrels, and baskets

Improved the colour correction in Orkneyjar

Improved the colour correction in the dream sequences

Removed birds from the 2nd dream since they weren't animating

Fixed the movement value localisation not being correct

Fixed a tooltip not being localized in the camping todo list

Fixed issue with abilities not getting deselected when a character was immobilised

Added an animation for characters sleeping in beds (for Eyfura and Bjørgdis)

Tile objects (ice, campfires, brambles, etc.) now trigger when combat starts (e.g. you are instantly set on fire if you stand on a campfire); however, characters no longer start on a tile with a hazard (these may appear to contradict each other but the result is that things will run as they should but your characters should be smart enough to not step on hazards on their initial turn)

Illumination does not get removed at the end of the turn anymore

Characters standing inside a campfire will now be illuminated in addition to burned

Optimised the reflection probes in all campsites, hoping that'll fix or reduce the crashes some players have reported during the timelapse

Made the AdvanceTime debug command only accept positive numbers
Change log: Quests

Made it so you can trigger the Althing and end the game if you have 100 Prosperity even if you haven't completed any other questline

Disabled the option to tell Ragnhildr you killed the Rats if you didn't kill the Rats

Made the Red Wedding party not spawn if the Wait goal is Inactive, instead of if Wait is Not Completed and Not Failed

Moved the goal marker for the first Red Wedding goal from the groom's father onto the house door so it doesn't go to a campaign map marker when the wedding party despawns

Fixed the Red Wedding party spawning in during the night if they had previously spawned in during the day

Fixed the scared man in the Barghest quest spawning in during the day if he had previously spawned in during the night, but at the same time accidentally inverted his spawn conditions so he now spawns only during the day - will fix that in the next patch, as it doesn't break anything

Disabled the dialogue option to sacrifice a mercenary in Skerninge because it wasn't working

Fixed not getting the proper ID for a randomly selected character in the stray boat event

Fixed being able to talk to Maban before you catch the thieving child, thereby never being able to complete that goal; also fixed being able to enter the houses before you get the relevant quests

Made it so you can pick up the knife in the wall in one of the entrable homes in Eoforwic and set the loot to owned

Set everything to owned in the 2nd Eoforwic house and made the lord of the house lie in his bed

Fixed the robbers on the ridge in the swamp not reacting if you had gone there once before

Fixed a misspelled character reference in the toothache camping event

Fixed the Forbidden Tribute quest in Eoforwic trying to spawn the wrong character when you had defeated the lynch mob

Made a rock that was throwing warnings in the treasure cave not batching static, and rebuilt lighting as a result

Fixed Vrangr sticking around in the Marsh if you came back to it after you had let him go

Disabling the Time Limit

By popular demand we've implemented a way for you to disable the game-over that you'll normally get if you run out of time in either campaign. Time will still pass as normal and the timeline will appear to progress, but once it reaches the end, nothing will happen. To activate this:

First find your config file. It should be in \Documents\My Games\Expeditions Viking\Config.

Open Config.ini with your text editor of choice (Notepad will do nicely).

Locate the [PlayerSettings] section and add the following line TimeGameOver=False at the end of it, for example:

[PlayerSettings]

GameLanguage=English

GoalMarkerBehaviour=ShowAll

Dismemberment=True

Tutorial=False

DisplayHexes=False

DisplayHelmets=True

EdgePanning=True

ControlStyle=CRPG

TimeGameOver=False

Save the file and open the game.

To verify that the time limit is disabled, hover over your marker or the icon at the end of the timeline. It should say, in a red font: "Running out of time is currently disabled." Note that this will only show up in the English or English (Norse Names) localisations so far, because we haven't had the new strings localised yet.

Disabling the time limit will also disable all difficulty-related achievements for finishing the game. As mentioned somewhere in the changelist above, to complement this new feature we have also changed the "advancetime" cheat so it no longer accepts negative numbers. Of course there are things that stop making sense when you disable the timeline. We assume that if you do this, you don't particularly care about the narrative consistency of the game,do not be suprised if the game suddenly skips almost a year into the future, and a title card proclaims the year to be 789 AD when your in-game clock says 790 or something like that.
Video crash bypass instructions

If your game has been crashing immediately after character creation or immediately upon opening, try adding the following anywhere in your config file: [VideoPlaybackSettings] DoPlayVideos=False The side effect is that you will not get any videos. This is mainly a problem for the end of the game, since the denoument will not play. We're still working on a "proper" fix for a later update.
Patch 1.0.2 (08th May 2017) Changelog

Improved stability further

Fixed the resolution not being set correctly in the options

Player now has a fixed morale to Heroic (+10)

also added additional details in the player message log

Due to the player character now having a fixed morale,

they can no longer be set to clean the camp

Fixed a bug where the bounty Ealdorman could get killed if you attacked the thieves, so he would be missing once you got his own quest later

Fixed one of the groups of the thralls who had escaped from the slave trader in Orkney being unresponsive if you had passed through their area before they spawned

Fixed a stupid oversight in Uallach's (the witch in Perth) conversation that was preventing you from asking about Ketill or Nefja's personal quests if you had already completed her own side quest

Fixed the campfire in Yngilwood where you lay an ambush for the tanner - it was set to only play once, so if you clicked no to the pop-up initially you could never open it again

Likewise set Grimnir's last conversation in the dream to not trigger once, which prevents the player from "exhausting" it before it's active

Fixed being able to trigger the hole in the wall in Dun Phris multiple times

Changed the initiative in Ingimar's Longhouse so the player starts

Fixed a bug where enemies that were set to immortal could still die from Burn injuries

Fixed an issue caused by using Charge with a reach weapon

Fixed loot ownership not being disabled when Perth or York was being attacked

Moved some tutorials that were blocking the timeline

Fixed enemy and player AP being switched around in enemy tooltips

Fixed the Talon tooltip which wasn't being parsed correctly

Fixed the Sling tooltip calling it one-handed instead of two-handed

Fixed a tooltip in the treatment panel not showing up

Added more info about the timeline in the timeline tooltips
