Patch Notes 1.3.5

Version: 1.3.5

Date: September 24, 2025

Changes:

1. Major Re-balance: The 'Instant Convergence' meta has been fixed. The core prestige loop was overhauled to reward longer, more strategic runs. Purity and Resonance have been significantly buffed, while the problematic 'Light per Convergence' bonus has been replaced with a percentage multiplier.
2. Major Re-balance: Overhauled the balance of Stage 3 progression, including the costs and bonuses for all galaxy constellations and buildable structures. The overpowered Light Collector Array and Purification Spire have been nerfed.
3. Performance: Dramatically improved performance and stability in the Star Chart by implementing a more robust pre-rendering system. This fixes crashes, freezes, and black screen issues.
4. Critical Bug Fix: Fixed a bug that caused the game to converge automatically while offline, even if 'Auto-Converge' was disabled.
5. Critical Bug Fix: Fixed multiple progression-blocking bugs in Stage 3, including the unresponsive 'Efficient Purification' button and an issue where galaxy constellation stars would not appear after discovering their fragments.
6. UI & QoL Fix: Added an accessibility option in the Settings menu to disable the text glow effect.
7. UI & QoL Fix: Fixed the long-standing bug that caused the Codex/Stats tab to flash with a 'ghost' notification that could not be cleared.
8. UI & QoL Fix: All scrollable lists (PIP AI, Codex, etc.) now have a visual scrollbar and can be scrolled even when the mouse is over an input field.
9. UI & QoL Fix: Fixed numerous UI bugs, including input fields remaining on screen, the lore pop-up window being unnecessarily large for short notifications, and the background map zooming while scrolling in a modal.
