Starward Rogue Beta Feedback Thread

[Pepisolo]

Here's a thread for any feedback about the new Beta that is available on Steam. To access the Beta,  just right-click on Starward Rogue in your Steam library, click properties, then selects the Betas tab, then select the "Beta -" version as the Beta you would like to opt into. Close that, and the game should then update to version 1.701. Test away!

Some Linux testers for this would be good. The latest build doesn't work on my Linux box, so I'm a bit paranoid about the build for linux users. All you'd have to do is try and boot the game and see if it runs. Cheers!

I can run beta 1.703 on Ubuntu 16.04. Happy to help with newer versions.

Nice, thanks! 1.703 works? With no errors on startup?

Works pretty well. There are some warnings I put on mantis.

Good to know, thanks!

In 1.704, while exiting a miniboss room to go to another miniboss, I got a crash. Related files attached below.

Edit:
I also noticed the Spire Knowledge powerup only last for the current floor now. Seems like a strange nerf for an item that already struggles to compete with the numerous fullmap items/powers.

Where's that found again? I think that was to differentiate it from one of the other pickups that give a a full map reveal.

Spire Knowledge is a Cheap shop item.
The other map reveal things would be Circuit 42 (fullmap, 1 floor only), MapMaster perk (fullmap, permanent) and Map of the Stars sac item (fullmap, permanent). The other partial map powers are disabled since the perk overhaul. I think that's all of them.

Oh, yeah, then having a full permanent map item in the cheap shop seems a bit OP to me, it would also be duplicating what can already be done with MapMaster or Map of the Stars. I don't think we need a third item that does the exact same thing. Maybe Spire Knowledge could be overhauled to do something a bit different? A cheap floor reveal doesn't seem too bad to me, though, if it is actually cheap that is.

Well, that's the thing, we do have the Mysterious Circuit as a cheap fullmap option for 1 floor (possibly unidentified circuit), but the Spire Knowledge is a partial map item (important rooms only) that was a cheap alternative to the more costly permanent fullmap options (health or perk).

Oh, Spire Knowledge is not a full map thing then? In that case it may have just been a misunderstanding on my part to change it. I'll take a look tomorrow and probably set it back to all floors then.

Forgot to mention, the condemned rooms Dayton_Cramped and Dayton_Pincer are stacking their new travelporters and the condemned's reward, which is a problem.

Got it, I fixed those quick -- hopefully. Committed to SVN too. Thanks!
