Wasteland 2 Patch 3 (59820) Release Notes

Patch 3 for Wasteland 2 is here, bringing our biggest change and improvement list yet! Most notably, we’ve got Steam Achievements, colorblind mode, and you can now carry your Ranger squad over into a second adventure after finishing the game the first time!

Note: As usual, GOG.com and other platforms may be a little bit later in releasing the update as their teams prep it. Steam users can download the patch right now.

Hotfix: We just put out a small hotfix to localization. This fixes issues with English text displaying in Spanish. We also got an opportunity to sneak in Italian and Russian localization updates as well. Thanks!

Text/Localization



Multitudinous spelling, grammar, consistency and spacing fixes.

Multitudinous fixes to inaccurate descriptions of locations in text log (such as Salt Lake Park).

Correctly capitalized names of generic cows and chickens.

Fixed too many *s in string “<@>**mmmff*** **ggrrrggglll** that were causing problems.

Added Jason Dora to the credits as a Web Developer, for his excellent development of webs.

Updated all localizations.

Fixed bug with localized keywords not appearing as buttons because they’ve translated two different English keywords to the same localized word. This should prevent some rare missing keyword issues.

Updated Korean font choice and kerning improvements.

Changed handling of mismatched starred keywords in translations to show more information and still put up the keywords (just in English). This is a fallback that is being added to prevent missing keyword issues if they occur before our localization teams can fix them.

Fix to allow English typo fixes to stars on starred keywords to work. Used to just use the key string, now gets English translation for key string (if any).

For mismatched starred keywords in translations, no longer show the partially keyworded translation if it had no starred words.
