Elemental Fracture 6.4.0 – Patch Notes
你正在阅读英文原文。 显示译文
Relaunch your launcher, let it pull Launcher 3.3.0, Game 6.4.0, and Mod 3.17.1, and play.
This update splits Elemental Fracture’s versions into three separate tracks so balance updates, mod fixes, and launcher changes no longer get tangled up with each other.
Three separate version tracks
Until now, Elemental Fracture used a single version number for everything. That caused problems: a balance update could roll out, but players with the old balance patch could still connect if the server hadn’t bumped its combined check. Or a tiny fix to a menu DLL forced everyone to redownload the balance files.
Starting with this update, versions are split into three distinct tracks:
- Game Version (6.4.0): This is the gameplay balance patch. When we adjust class talents, gauntlets, spells, rune cooldowns, or map content, the Game Version goes up. When you sign in, the server checks that you have the current balance patch before letting you into matchmaking, so everyone in the match is on the exact same rules.
- Mod Version (3.17.1): This covers the client and server mods: the code that talks to the appserver, powers the EF Controller menus, tracks match placements, and runs social systems. When we fix a menu bug, improve networking, or tweak an overlay, only the Mod Version updates.
- Launcher Version (3.3.0): This is the desktop launcher itself. It gets updated when we add launcher features, installer fixes, or UI changes.
Under the hood, the server and router now check both your Game Version and Mod Version independently. If your balance patch is out of date, the game tells you that a balance update is required. If your mods are out of date, it asks for a mod update. Neither one hides behind the other anymore.
Launcher 3.3.0
- Mandatory launcher updates. When a new launcher build comes out, the launcher now asks you to update before launching the game. This prevents running into bugs or failed downloads caused by an outdated launcher client.
- Split version display. The Mods & Install view now separates what you have installed: the Game card shows your installed Game Version, and the Mods card shows your Mod Version.
- Accurate update checks. The launcher now checks and confirms each track on its own, so pulling a balance update or a mod package cleanly flips the button back to PLAY without getting stuck on update prompts.
