Build 16619794
Dec 9, 2024
Hi everyone,
today we are releasing a patch for Trails to Azure which improves how the game interacts with platform achievement APIs. This should prevent performance issues in some circumstances, specifically when a large number of achievements was already unlocked.
Note that this issue surfaced due to changes in how Steam deals with repeated achievement API calls, and this change affects many of our prior releases in similar ways. We are committed to patching all affected releases, but this has taken some time, especially for cases where we need to re-build games for which we already archived various development resources.
Cheers,
Peter "Durante" Thoman, PH3

in today's patch for Trails to Azure, we have included the following fixes and improvements:
- Added the same experimental fast text option included in Zero. To use it, set "fastTextSpeed" to "true" in the category in "%localappdata%\Falcom\Ao\settings.toml". This is not intended for general use -- please use this option at your own risk.
- Fix a potential crash caused by a memory corruption when unlocking too many records at once.
- Don't trigger records repeatedly when resuming from the latest save.
- Fix an issue in windowed mode where content might be drawn at an offset on startup.
- Don't move the cursor on the car fast travel map if the user is using a controller.
- Improve button prompt spacing in some UIs.

in today's patch for Trails to Azure, we have included the following fixes and improvements:
- Fixed a potential crash when advancing the Master Quartz level-up window too quickly.
- Fixed some instances where achievements would not be unlocked correctly after importing data from another release of the game.
- Minor 3D geometry fixes in a few maps.
- Tweaked the battle UI placement of the HP/EP/CP labels.
- Implemented a workaround for loading Trails from Zero clear saves when in a WINE environment with separate prefixes (such as on the Steam Deck). For standard cases, it should now "just work", as long as you also have Trails from Zero installed on the same device, and started it at least once to make sure the saves are synchronized.
[expand type=details]Specifically, this now works if all individual Steam game prefixes are in the same root, which is the default Proton configuration. If you have multiple custom WINE prefixes you will still have to do a manual copy or symlink.
As always for our releases, in case you experience any regressions you can revert to prior versions of the game using the Steam "Beta" feature.
