Quest Glitch and Defense Drone Save Glitch

Post by madattak9 »

1) I had a 'My shipment is late' quest. When I jumped to the quest beacon I got a standard 'Research Station Distress Beacon' event. I sent my crew in and my boarder died, in the usual way when you send crew into that event.


That got me pissed


2) After defeating stage 1 of the flagship in the redtail, I saved and quit with the defense drone active. When I came back the defense drone had vanished but was still powered. I jumped and the drone was still powered, and I had lost no drone parts, and it was still invisible. It still existed though, because laser appeared where it would be and shot down missiles and boarding drones.

1) I'll check on that, sorry about your crew member. :(

2) What version of FTL are you running? That bug was fixed two patches ago I believe.

v1.01


It hasn't updated itself, and I cant find an update button. I guess I should switch to steam, but then I'd lose my ships D:

And dont worry about my crew member, he's gone to the great ship in the sky...
...and I was fortunate enough to be bristling with guns and won anyway.

If you bought the game from the website then check your email. In it are details on how to login to HumbleBundle and download the update. If you deleted the email, you can have it re-sent to you here: http://support.humblebundle.com/custome ... y-resender

In case you purchased FTL from GoG, you can find the update on your games page.

Yeah, profile and saved game are kept separately from the main game, so you can uninstall and reinstall or upgrade to your heart's content. Matthew and Justin designed it this way. :D
