Age of Wonders 4 Update 1.096.050 Released This August 5
Triumph Studios has pushed out Age of Wonders 4 update 1.096.050 this August 5, and this seems to be a minor update that doesn’t bring in any new content. Read on for what’s new in the patch notes below.
Age of Wonders 4 Update 1.096.050 Patch Notes:
The studio has not acknowledged the title update, but we are hoping this is for crashing issues the game has been experiencing since the last title update released early last month.
However, the studio did post on the game’s official forums regarding the crashes and how the studio decides when to release a hotfix in response to a player.
Now which factors went into the determination whether or not to release a hotfix:
- The issue occurs due to a repeating ability being paired with Boonstealing
- This can be obtained through the Hero Skill from Tome of Corruption
- This can be obtained through the Void Stones Magic Material
- This can be obtained from Generated Reward Items
- The Target unit needs to have sufficient Buffs for the effect to Steal
- The Attacking unit needs to be able to use at least 2 AP
Knowing the above we determined the chances for an AI to achieve this situation to be unlikely but not impossible, and a player would be able to tweak/shift away from the chosen weapon or Hero Skill. Next to that we look at the initial crash reports received after the Update released to further determine how frequent/relevant the issue is.
Now whether the combination of all factors is cause for a Hotfix will change as each situation is different. F.e. a Hotfix was released for Mystic 1.1 as that crash blocked off an entire piece of Paid Content and would occur guaranteed for anybody loading a Arcalot save.
For those who installed the patch, leave a comment below and let us know if this fixes the crashing issues or not.
