This is a very important patch that fixes a number of ongoing bugs and overhauls some background systems.

Playthrough Restarts Required

Because of the changes, you MUST restart your playthroughs from the beginning of the game. Saves from before the patch will not work correctly and will result in continuity and approval errors.

If you keep Wayfarer running in a tab, please either refresh your browser or close the tab and open the game in a new one. This is the only way to ensure the patch takes effect.

Autosaves & Browser Saves

• Autosave is not a reliable save on some browsers and may result in loading the wrong metadata or corrupted companion approval and faction rapport. Only use it as a last resort.
• You will lose your browser saves if you clear your cache or browser history.
• The best way to save your playthroughs is to use Save to Disk to make a save manually to your device. These manual saves can be renamed once downloaded. Use Load from Disk to load a manual save. Always save when prompted. Keeping a save from the end of Episode 1 and Episode 2 is highly recommended.

Patch Notes

Gameplay Fixes

• The player should no longer gain unintended romance points with Aeran when on the friendship path.
• Aeran’s romance has been rebalanced and a variety of flags added for tracking continuity. This will primarily affect low (under 60) romance routes.
• Aeran’s approval and romance ranges have been locked to a range of 5-95 instead of 0-100. The only time his romance will be recorded as 0 is if the MC either breaks off their romance or their relationship deteriorates enough to remove his romance flag.
• Veyer’s impression points now are locked to a range, preventing them from going below 0.
• You can no longer access saves when the game menus are open. This is to prevent an error that caused players to be unable to close the Journal after loading a save made when the Journal was open.
• If you encounter ongoing issues with the Journal and other game menus not closing properly, it can be be fixed by refreshing your browser. (This may not work in the itch.io app).

Lore/Character

• Alassar is no longer capitalized.
• Magic classifications are no longer capitalized (i.e. dustforger, brightwarden, not Dustforger or Brightwarden), but specialized jobs remain capitalized (Brightblade, Wayfarer, etc).

Other

• Various spelling/grammar fixes.
