The following lists the changelogs of every legacy version of Barotrauma.

0.8.2.3

Released December 11th, 2018
  • Clients can now join servers that have an IPv6 address.
  • Added "unban" and "unbanip" commands.
  • Fixed a bunch of bugs that were causing "attempted to apply an invalid force/impulse to a physics body" errors.
  • Fixed a bunch of bugs that were causing "attempted to move a pulljoint extremely far" errors.
  • Fixed DebugConsole selecting non-command lines if up/down is pressed when there are no commands in the console.

  • Verify that the launched exe belongs to the currently selected content package when starting up the game.
  • Fixed console messages that have been created before initializing the debug console not being present in crash logs. Made it difficult to diagnose crashes that occur immediately when the game starts.
  • Additional error logging to diagnose SharpDX errors on startup.[1]

0.8.2.2

Released November 19th, 2018
  • Fixed clients not seeing explosions from items that explode on impact or when their condition reaches zero.
  • Fixed conditionals being ignored on delayed status effects.
  • Fixed clients staying in an unsynced state if they rejoin while their character is dead or unconscious,causing the camera not to follow the character and preventing the player from giving up.

  • Fixed AI characters (most often mantises) being able to attack through walls.

  • Docking ports automatically stretch the hulls between them to cover the area between the docked subs. Otherwise there may be areas uncovered by hulls if the docking port is positioned slightly outside the extents of the submarine's hulls, causing characters to implode or get thrown back when they try to pass from sub to another.
