Unrailed 2: Back on Track has just received a maintenance update that fixes a connection bug that sometimes made it impossible to join hosts, along with a stack of gameplay and UI improvements across tutorial, wagon, and versus modes. These changes should make matches and the early game smoother for players.
Patch Notes
- Improvement: Tutorial is a bit tighter: Less dialogs, shorter sections, additional track spawns
- Improvement: Added “Wait for your team” bubbles for local players who finished already tutorial sections
- Improvement: “Game paused” & “Waiting for players” is displayed in a modal box when waiting for players. It also displays how many players need to connect in versus matches
- Improvement: Flag respawns the flag to the front when it’s placed behind the train during a shop
- Improvement: Pull from box attached to a compactor wagon only pulls when the box wagon has enough elements to create a compressed resource. It also tries to balance what it takes
- Improvement: Collector wagon collects now half its output stack iron and the other half wood. Output stack size changed to 6 (from 5) on level 1
- Improvement: Pull from box attached to piggy wagon pulls max 1 item. It also balances the item type and waits longer the less items are left on a box wagon (up to 10 seconds for the last item)
- Bug fix: Players sometimes could not connect to a lobby until the host restarted the game
- Bug fix: Sandbox mode was called “Endless” in the rich presence
- Bug fix: Can’t close settings or handbook menu when no player is connected
- Bug fix: Fixed a potential issue that could lead to progress loss while the game is running
- Bug fix: Particles are sometimes flying up in the air
- Bug fix: Player in UI got mingled when players connected or disconnected in versus
- Bug fix: Fix potential graphical glitches when resizing the window
- Bug fix: Versus mode could spawn endless-only cartridges (like sales, nether etc)
- Bug fix: The circle where you can place the teleporter was sometimes not rendered anymore
- Bug fix: Tutorial bubble from stomp action cartridge sometimes doesn’t disappear
- Bug fix: Wagons sometimes showed unlocked in the handbook even though they weren’t. This might be the reason why some didn’t get the handbook completed achievement
- Balance: “Multiple tasks”, “Scenic Route” & “No tracks crafter” achievement can’t be triggered in the tutorial anymore
- Balance: First map after the tutorial has now medium difficulty
See you on the tracks! 🚆
