Let's have a look through the latest Patch List as posted by Chedburn to see what updates, changes, and fixes have been made to Torn this week, and what they mean for you.
Please note, the updates and bugs documented in this article are worked on by a team of developers. Where a single developer is individually mentioned, it simply reflects who confirmed the report as fixed or complete, and not that they were solely responsible.
Updates, Changes, and Additions
- Access to $91,757,577,440 of Church funds delegated to the Community Manager.
Access to the Church funds has been granted to the Community Manager to provide potential support for users who have been wronged in certain ways.
- Added WAI support for depositing & giving money / points on faction pages.
- Added WAI support on the "Items" page for items view, description & actions.
The Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) is an effort to improve the accessibility of the web for users with disabilities or impairments, particularly those who require the use of non-standard devices. Information regarding the page updated according to WAI can be found here.
- Updated legacy top-right header link icons with SVG variants.
Continuing the campaign to replace older icons with higher quality SVG versions, the top-right header links (search, preferences, log-out) have now been updated.
Bugs, Fixes, and Typos.
- Fixed company icon removal upon bankruptcy
SPHA reported in this thread that after their company had gone bankrupt, their company icon did not disappear along with it. Chedburn noted that a company going bankrupt was instead disabling the Medical Job icon, rather than company, for a reason unknown, which has now been fixed.
- Fixed multiple clicks on 'Level Up' button levelling up more than once.
Herpsac reported that after deciding to level up, from 40 to 41, they unwittingly went up 4 levels after double-clicking the "Level Up" button, twice. Believing that this may cause upset to other players if it happened to them, Herpsac labelled this as an issue. After being passed on to Chedburn for his attention, it was confirmed this did appear to be the case, and passed it along to alexanderl for fixing. Nikitad confirmed this to be now fixed.
- Fixed issue with Logistics Network & Detective Agency stock parameters creating unintended sales patterns.
The_Healer reported in this thread that he believed the newly released Logistics Companies were making far too much revenue compared with their startup costs. It was discussed for many pages but Chedburn ultimately closed the report, deciding that it was too early to assess the situation and that normalisation may take some weeks. He later returned to state that he had in fact discovered an issue that was causing a much higher-than-expected variance in sales.
- Fixed new player George tutorial emails occasionally failing after the first few emails.
DominicV reported that he was not receiving emails from George following the completion of the second Intro to Torn mission. bogie observed that this was not the first instance of such an error, and Chedburn confirmed that this was due to a backlog caused by an increase in daily registrations to the game. The issue is now resolved.
- Fixed issue with Faction Co-leader icon not being removed when unsetting them.
Hemorrhoid reports here that when the Co-Leader position is removed from him, the gold faction icon representing leaders is not removed from his icons panel. Chedburn confirmed the issue and its cause, now and has fixed it.
- Fixed issue with mods honor when only stage 3 mods are equipped.
In last weeks patch, an honor bar called 'Modded' was released, triggered by "equipping two high-tier mods on a weapon". High-tier mods are stage-three and above, however, it was reported by SourRon (among others) that this honor was not being triggered when equipping two stage-three mods only. aurel1 confirmed that this issue was corrected.
Typos
1. Maiden reported here a typo present in one of the Church messages, "You may aswell not have come", where "aswell" should have been "as well". This was corrected by Chedburn.
2. Superdude911 reported here a typo in one of the output messages when training Defense in "Global Gym", where a space was missing in the following text: "You spend 70 minutes in a beginners Taekwondo class learning 2new moves". This has since been corrected by Chedburn.
3. Reiyoka reported over here, that when attempting to upgrade a company while not the Director, you'd receive the error "You must be the director to make this upgrade". The message should state that you cannot make any upgrades while you are not the Director. Presumably, this message has been changed to "You must be the director to make upgrades." by Chedburn.
Extras (Not included in the Patch list)
1. DENMON reported here that while the icon when reading a Book is a live timer, the timer on the respective page was static. Nikitad queried if this was still an issue as changes had been made, however, as DEMNON was no longer reading their Book, they could not confirm this. In testing, Stewie started reading one of his own books, and confirmed this did appear to have been resolved, marking the report as fixed.
Honor Bar
This week's Honor Bar is "Arrowhead", achieved by gaining 1,000,000,000 speed. These were triggered with a script on the day of release for users who had already completed it.
