Fixes

General

• Added missing Therian mod template icons
• Fixed that Shakarn commanders could be customized with some DLC content without the user owning that DLC
• Fixed issue where expansion NPC Factions would be visible in Advanced Setup even though the user did not own the required DLC.
• Fixed a crash that could occur after failing to access a specific texture.
• Fixed Unit Outlines not rendering when they are enabled
• Fixed issue where the Score Victory would not end on the specified round after the Invasion was defeated.
• Fixed an issue where Absorbing a Colony belonging to another race wouldn't unlock that race's Military Tech Tree
• Fixed a crash caused by using Cerebral Control Collars on flying Infantry Units that are on a water hex
• Fixed that Reinforcements could not be accepted or declined with controller
• Fixed an AI Hang that could occur if Independents attacked a structure that had their Garrison defeated in the same turn while having an Player Stack adjacent.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when entering a Promethean Vault Silver Landmark that was spawned from the associated World Event.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when using Holoshift in certain situations
• Fixed an issue which would allow Infiltrators to Target Tier 3 units if they were built in a Colony with Resonance Halls attached; combat saves containing an Infiltrator that attempted this action might cause issues, it is recommended to load an older save

Diplomacy

• Fixed issue where the AI could send a message about going to war when they were already at war with the player.

Units & Abilities

• Syndicate Hero Skill 'Farsight' - Superior Overwatch should now function on all weapons when in Overwatch mode.

• Voidtech Rift Generator 'Dimensional Rift' - Now correctly deals damage before teleporting the unit
• Laser Weapons Group 'Searing Module' - Now correctly melts shields from Ethereal units

• Promethean 'Hazmat Protection' - Fixed an issue with Hazard Immunity not correctly blocking Tactical Hazards.
• Synthesis 'Malware Daemon'- Fixed an issue where Malware daemons wouldn't mind control enemies when they died

Invasions

• Removed Metamorphosis from Strix and Naga units. Evolving them was difficult to trigger and would cause crashes.
• Enthralled units under your control are no longer affected by morale from race relations and will no longer desert
• Call Voidbringer now correctly unlocks when joining the Thermal Voidbringer Invasion
• Call Voidbringer operation now only shows up once in the Imperial Archives

Campaign

• Fixed crash in Shakarn campaign when Daiyu Jiang declares war on the player while James Henkins is in a transport on his own
• Fixed an issue where the first step of the “Sabotage Rift Reactor Alpha” and “Sabotage Rift Reactor Epsilon” Quest couldn’t be completed when the quest stack spawned next to the Imperial Defense instead of on top of it. For the fix to apply in active missions players need to load a save from before the Quest was given.

• Fixed that the Interstellar Trade Convoy event did not correctly convert 50% of the production income to research income when using Generate Research
