applies to most bullet effects, making it easier to see in hectic situations and improving performance.
Regarding game balance, crates/boxes destroyed by summons can now provide loot, and one of the weapons for the LTM Frigate T-6 has been changed to improve performance.
Several bugs have also been fixed, such as an issue that prevented binding the radial menu to a keyboard/mouse key, faction-related errors in the three Frost-type Continuum Challenges, and the item set “Grand Justice” no longer rolling for ships without turrets. Additionally, issues with wave spawners that could cause enemies to spawn behind walls, the Corrosive Gatling-type weapon being unable to heal summons, and some waypoints spawning inside dungeons have been resolved.
Nienix Game: Update v1.040 Patch Notes – A new loot filter
- [Loot filter] A new loot filter has been added! Access it from the inventory (next to the encyclopedia). This new filter is separated for each character and is much more comprehensive than the previous one. In addition to specifying various filters for all kinds of items, it is also possible to override the default colors for different items and grades. Color overriding is done by manually editing the loot filter for the desired character. The lootfilters are XML-files located under <game_root>/Data/Save. For instance, the loot filter for the third character (third row) is named “char2_lootfilter.xml”.
