Update #093 introduces a comprehensive overhaul of the game menu and settings architecture for Shogun Exodus. The escape menu has transitioned into a multi-panel interface, integrating dedicated flows for quick saving, game loading, mod management, and persistent runtime settings via a new SettingsManager. Players can now toggle FPS overlays and debug logging directly from the menu, while the save system features incremental slot naming and unsaved-change warnings for improved data security.
Update #094 focuses on technical stability and script optimization. Refinements to status effect source removal ensure cleaner game shutdowns by preventing errors when the database is unavailable during the exit sequence. Additionally, several GDScript parser warnings have been resolved, addressing variable shadowing and unused parameters to maintain code integrity and performance.
Raw Patch Notes
