![HOTFIX [17.09.2026]](https://inferna.net/images/inferna-media/bg/dun_01.jpg)
Note: Restart Steam to grab the update NOW! 🔄
This hotfix fine-tunes the dialogue audio from yesterday's update, makes NPC movement more natural, fixes shrinking tooltips, and fixes a connection issue on the TCP (legacy) backend.
---
🔊 Dialogue Audio
- Music, sound effects, and ambient sounds are now only turned down while you can actually hear an NPC speaking. NPCs talking far away no longer lower the volume of everything around you.
- How much other sounds are turned down now depends on how close you are to the speaking NPC.
- Other sounds are no longer turned down if you have muted the dialogue volume.
- NPC voices now fade out more naturally with distance.
---
🚶 NPC Movement
- NPCs now take more direct routes and no longer make odd detours on stairs, ramps, and through gates.
- NPC walking paths are smoother, and NPCs no longer briefly walk past a corner and back.
- Fixed NPCs getting stuck along their routes when a waypoint was not on walkable ground.
- Fixed wandering NPCs leaving the area they are meant to stay in.
---
💬 User Interface
- Fixed tooltips shrinking when they are shown.
---
🌐 Connection
- Fixed an issue on the TCP (legacy) backend where players could stay logged in for longer than intended after their connection was interrupted.

Thank you for your feedback! Please report any issues you encounter.
