Bugs Fixed From Alpha 4

• Items being eaten.
• Final crash on release/collect.

Hopefully at least, didn't seem to run into them again during the test. Basically did most of a rewrite of the Archipelago client code logic, and that seemed to have fixed it. Let me know if you run into these bugs!

Known Bugs (Planned to be fixed in next Alpha)

• Carnival Dagger minigame does not reward gold or an item, even if you destroy all targets.
• The Item Received list currently obstructs the Fountain Piece UI element.
• Teleporting to starting room does not place player on teleporter pad.
• After defeating a boss, camera will center on diary instead of fountain door.
  • Player can also interact with diary due to this.
• Herodotus and Ponce de Leon are smaller than they should be.
• Maximum manor skills do not reset properly when loading a save, going to main menu, then loading a different save.
• Game does not handle losing connection to Archipelago server gracefully and may crash on any subsequent attempt to communicate with the Archipelago server.
• Installer does not verify if vanilla RL directory was selected correctly.
• Red border does not appear around found blueprints or runes in a category you do not have unlocked.
  • Still will not allow player to purchase or equip them without relevant upgrade.
• Toggling DeathLink in the menu and re-opening the menu will show the default DeathLink status.
  • This is purely a visual bug, as your DeathLink status does actually update.
• Some traits given by "Genetic Lottery" do not apply the actual effect.
• Retiring outside the castle after using Architect will softlock your save.
  • So, don't do that!

Rogue Legacy Randomizer 1.0.0 Alpha 4

Supports version 1 and (most of) version 2 of Rogue Legacy .apworld.

Warning!

Save file is not compatible between Alpha 3 and Alpha 4. Requires a clean file to start, otherwise it will crash.

Changes from Alpha 3

• Allows require skill purchasing, but still a work in progress, may have some small issues.
• Slightly updated castle entrance, in preparation for shrine items.
• Better handling for items to prevent as many items from being eaten.

Known issues:

• Toggling DeathLink, exiting options menu, then re-opening options menu will show the slot default DeathLink status. DeathLink is actually toggled, this is purely a visual bug.
• Red border denoting which slots are unavailable for vendors does not appear on unlocked runes or blueprints.
• Dagger carnival mini-game is broken. Still not sure why.
• Recent Items UI block is overlaid on Fountain Piece progress HUD.
• DeathLink players sometimes stops receiving DeathLinks after playing long enough. Sending DeathLinks still works.

• Game will freeze if it loses connection to AP server.
• Random Teleport trap still causes issues with some scenarios. Disabled for now.
• Retiring outside of castle after using Architect will destroy save and prevent entering castle.
• Any cutscene that is supposed to look at the fountain room door, is centered on diary. This can be read actually, but is not intended.

1.0 Features Still Not Implemented/Complete

• Relic shrines are not implemented. Can still receive items, but they do nothing.
• Spending Restrictions.
• Magnetic gold.
• Possible enemizer? Thinking on that one.
• Boss traits? hmmmmmmmm

Full planned change log for 1.0.0 in Archipelago Discord.

Rogue Legacy Randomizer 0.9.4

• Get Item does not freeze screen. Instead pops up on side.
• Adds extra icons.
• Adds teleporter unlock when zone boss is defeated.
• Chat has been disabled, awaiting final rework in 0.10.
• Manor no longer freezes screen either when purchasing.
• Other minor QoL updates.
• Hopefully some crash fixes.
• Change default install directory.

All saves on 0.9.3 will not load on 0.9.4. It will create a new save instead.

This has not been tested as thoroughly, so use at your own risk lol.

EDIT: There are a few known issues with 0.9.4 (Hotfix 1), so I don't recommend running this until a fix can be released. Known issues are:

• Sometimes you cannot connect to server.
• Carnival games are broken (and could softlock you).
• Chest generation is lower than expected.

Full Changelog: 0.9.3...0.9.4

Rogue Legacy Randomizer 0.9.3

Fixed a few long standing bugs and also added some other QoL changes.

• Removed ability to chat. Needs to be overhauled and can be abused to glitch game. Chat log is still visible.
• Fairy Chests now give stat increases instead of gold.
• Fixed rare bug that causes game crash if spamming through GameOver and Lineage screen.
• Added "Retire Character" to Options menu (similar to Retire in RL2).
• Fixed chests over 30 per zone or 120 for universal not sending location check.
• Fixed options menu on title screen deleting the bottom option each time it was opened.
• Fixed Gold Gain + Hedgehog's Curse exploit. No more infinite money.
• Elf's Chest Game will always pay out the first time. No more RNG for this check.
• Added references to new games!
• Added some new funny death messages!
• A secret new option... try to find it!

Full Changelog: 0.9.2...0.9.3

Rogue Legacy Randomizer 0.9.2

No content updates, this fixes a couple of game crashing bugs and updates the MultiClient.Net lib to 4.0.

Going 0.9 instead of 0.8.4, because it breaks old version compatibility. DO NOT CONNECT TO OLD SEEDS WITH THIS VERSION WITHOUT BACKING UP YOUR EXISTING SAVE. No like seriously, you will re-grab all items sent to you which would break it. If you want to play on current async (and you already connected), please backup (or delete) your current save in your Documents -> Saved Games -> Rogue Legacy Randomizer folder.

Fixes (hopefully):

• Game crashing when sending an update to AP server when disconnected.
• Game crashing when an unknown character is set to chat.
• Game soft-lock when getting Death-Linked outside castle sometimes (when talking to Charon or using Architect).
• Manor and Diary not updating on re-connection to active slot.
• Diary no longer infinitely collectable.
• Game no longer freezes after beating final boss and entering door.

Changes:

• Changed !forfeit to !release.
• Improved error handling and gather more information in crash logs for better debugging.

Full Changelog: 0.8.4...0.9.0

Rogue Legacy Randomizer 0.8.4

Updated and packaged some core library files into installer to fix issue of Epic Games store version of Rogue Legacy not launching. As a consequence, this also improves controller detection without the need of a compatibility layer.

What's Changed

• Improved controller support and detection, outside of Xbox 360 controllers.
• Added support for Epic Games version of Rogue Legacy.

Full Changelog: 0.8.3...0.8.4

Rogue Legacy Randomizer 0.8.3

Not quite the Castle Gen update people have been waiting for, but I have been wanting to fix some issues for a while and add the chat window to the game so here it is.

What's Changed

• Added built-in TextClient by @ThePhar in #64
• Prevent receiving of items after you beat the Fountain by @ThePhar in #65
• Fixes game crash when losing connection to AP server. Just saves progress and goes to main menu instead.
• Updated Archipelago.MultiClient.Net to "hopefully" fix DeathLink issues to certain games.
• Removed hard-coded path in installer.
