Update 5 (Part 8)
Enable via Launcher → Settings → Pre-Release
HEADLINE FEATURE:
**Player movement has been reworked to use a Hierarchical Finite State Machine! **
This rework doesn't add new gameplay features yet, but it sets up the foundation for new movement features in future updates!
Launcher & Data Storage Changes
These changes will go live with a launcher update shortly before today’s pre-release.
Game data storage has been updated. Previously all Hytale game data (e.g. worlds, mods, settings, and logs) was stored in %HYTALE%/UserData. Shortly before today’s pre-release update goes live, a launcher update will change this behavior to the following:
- The Release patchline will continue using %HYTALE%/UserData/
- Non-release patchlines will now use their own directories under %HYTALE%/data/
- For example, Pre-release files will now be found within %HYTALE%/data/pre-release/
Existing non-release patchlines will automatically duplicate existing worlds, mods, and game settings to the new location. Once migrated, patchlines will no longer share data.
New installations will use this structure by default.
