First update 2023/10/13

The first update to TFTV is here! To make sure that you have it, check in the TFTV.log or the console log that the following appears:

"TFTV October 13 release #1"

If it doesn't, restart Steam, and if that doesn't work, unsub and resub TFTV.

This update should not break saves.

While I have your attention, some general comments/recommendations:

1) Attempting to run Tutorial with TFTV will spam you with error messages. If you want the squad from the tutorial, please choose BUFFED as the starting squad in mod config.

2) All DLC must be enabled for TFTV to work. Sometimes Dark Powers from the Void manifest themselves most insidiously by somehow unchecking one or two DLC when starting the game, so please just make sure all the DLC boxes are ticked when you start a new game.

3) Loading a game saved in Tactical is likely to cause errors. This was also often the case in Vanilla (except the game was keeping it to itself). I especially advise against saving a game in Tactical, quiting the game to desktop and then loading the Tactical save. Restart mission typically works fine, however. Down the road we do want to make loading a Tactical save give a few less errors, but please bear with us in the meantime.

4) There is a reason why Phoenix Point doesn't have an Ironman mode: every once in a while you can get recurring CTD or something equally nasty. TFTV might make the chances of that happening worse; we mess with a lot of things and that probably doesn't help the overall stability of the game. Also, when we are late on the blood sacrifices to our Piscean Overlords they punish us with broken serializations and corrupted save data.
Please keep a couple of safety saves just in case.
