Yes.

Why lol

non important updates , we need enemies

non important updates , we need enemies

Yes but they also need to put these "non-important" updates out for the game to be close to what it once was.

non important updates , we need enemies

I like to think of it as we are one update closer to release, these "non-important" updates are critical to the success of the game. For every 1 big update there is usually about 8 bug fixing updates. I like these updates because now I know I won't get stuck in a jail or whatever the case may be.

 

[Drewski0199]

Why lol

Because there were 2 updates.

You're free to do whatever you want, but just know they're bound to have issues considering how fast they are going. They're will probably be a lot of bugs and game crashes. I also don't trust Deleted member 4172, he probably put malware on there or something.

I'm no developer, but I think I can explain what this means...

NPC ≠ Enemy - In other words, NPCs are not the same thing as enemies. Don't get them confused!

NPCs are characters in the game who are not controlled by an active player like you or me. Examples of these would be a fisherman, a shipwright, and a peddler.

Whenever you enter an area with an NPC, such a shop, it has to "spawn" (or load) this character. This fix patched a crash that would happen when there an issue with the NPC being spawned.

True. I wasnt considering the NPCs around the map. I was thinking about enemies lol. I'm just so ready to get my Copperhead War Brig back but first i need the enemy ships to be released
