AotR 2.9 Hotfix 1 Patch Notes


Bug Fixes

Fixed untargetable/broken Mistress Shield Generator Hardpoint
Set Service Rate for Empire Endor Mission Lua Script to 0.5, to make sure all Death Star shots at Capital Ships are being tracked.
If you haven't constructed the Death Star at the time the mission triggers, you're losing the space station. The production speed reduction boost ability on Jerjerrod apparently can't be activated, so we're just spawning the Death Star in after a victorious battle for now.
You would get the Executor-defeated dialog before the tactical missions, when we remove the Executor for Story purposes. Fixed that.
Adding missing units to filters
Adjusted incorrect space techs on certain space units
Empire Liberator fighter loadout spawns fixed
Bugfix (hopefully): AI wasn't able (or just very unlikely) to build stuff on unrevealed planets
Performance: Added a Service Rate to the Zaarin Galactic lua mission, so that Story Mode Service only updates every 10 seconds
The disabled reinforcements in the empire defeat scenario in the Empire Endor Mission would carry over to the next battles for some reason, preventing the player from bringing in reinforcements for the rest of the campaign.
Added safety checks to both ground and space retreat, maybe those caused crashes before
Fixed C++ Error, cause was ground defensive rush perceptual
Fixed another issue in ground defensive rush (now it works actually)
Reverted FireDeathstar, exiting instantly if in Endor Mission via globalValue
Change: Disabled the Fire-Superlaser-At-Planet Button in the first part of the Empire Endor Tactical Mission (up until you're supposed to destroy Endor).
Bugfix Zaarin Tactical Mission: The final dialog for Thrawn, talking about Zaarins flagship burning doesn't show up because it triggered after the destruction of an ISD3 (previously used as a stand-in for Zaarin before we made the hero unit).
Ackbar could spawn twice if the player completed the Bufferzone Mission after the Endor Mission.
Hoth Mission was not doable (planets didn't reveal) on Web campaign.
Bugfix for an issue, where the Empire Endor Mission won't resolve if you lost all units but progressed far enough to destroy Endor, while Home One was still alive
Victory will be enabled after Executor dies
Home_One_Story_Empire is now a superweapon killer (meaning: If it's still alive, you're losing the battle.)
Zaarin Mission couldn't progress further than the objective to conquer Muunilinst, Kalee, bastion and Mygeeto in GCW campaigns, since the empire already controlled some of those planets (was triggered via STORY_CONQUER), added a lua-check for planet ownership. Will not affect existing saves.


Balance Updates

Balance Changes Rebel Bufferzone Tactical Mission:

Outpost 13 now has Anti-Turbo Shields
Imperial Fleet Composition now depends on difficulty level
Rebels are getting more and better units in second wave reinforcements on lower difficulty levels
Rephrased Mission Objectives to make the player aware that he has to attack the engine hardpoints of a Star Destroyer to progress in the mission.

AorR 2.9 All Wings Report In Released!

2.8.2 Hotfix 6

- AI combat power set to 0 on certain orbital dummies (now that the latest petroglyph patch makes the AI know about secondary space structures)
- Fixed Underworld Corruption mercenary and black market rewards not working.
- Removed blast objects from space projectiles, AOE damage should now work for rockets thanks to petroglyph patch
- Added <Planet_Auto_Reveal>False</Planet_Auto_Reveal> to story supported web and canon campaigns, in order to enable the story mechanic of hiding planets away (e.g. Endor)
- In the Death Star location scouting mission, you could scout Raxus Prime before it showed up in the mission objectives. That created duplicated mission objectives. Now fixed.
- The Death Star location scouting mission failed 10 weeks after you completed it, creating duplicated build-death-star objectives. Now fixed.
- Endor can be taken at the beginning of the game, and the Death Star could be built right away. Now fixed by hiding away the planet until you get the Scouting Mission.
- People were complaining about the scripted attack on the Maw circumventing fleets at Kessel. A droid log pop up was added that tells you that an attack on the Maw is imminent.
- The Enemy Fleet incoming speechevent for when an enemy fleet is incoming during the Maw mission wasn't playing because the sound file went missing. Readded it.
