Version 1.19.1 Released


Version 1.19.1 is a full-game maintenance release focused on stability, consistency, regression testing and cleanup across the entire project.

No major new content was added in this update. Instead, the goal was to verify the complete game after the release of The Fractured Paths and fix issues that could otherwise remain hidden beneath normal gameplay.

Full Game Audit

All major systems were reviewed again, including:

  • Campaign
  • Battle
  • Adventures
  • The Fractured Paths
  • Secrets of Crystalis
  • Card Arena
  • Casino
  • Wüsten-Vaeloph Racing
  • Crownstead
  • Greenstead Farm
  • Beastbound Menagerie
  • Nexus
  • Achievements
  • News
  • Tutorials
  • Persistence
  • Session protection
  • mobile layouts
  • release metadata
  • cache handling

The build was also tested across desktop and mobile screen profiles in both English and German.

Release Self-Test Fixed

An internal release validation check was still expecting an older v118 News entry.

Because the current release correctly used the newer 1.19 News entry, this caused the self-test to report 44 / 45 even though the actual release data was valid.

The validation now follows the current release dynamically.

Release Self-Test: 45 / 45

Session-Only Save Handling Improved

Browsers that block localStorage can force the game into a temporary session-only save mode.

The game already handled this situation safely, but the internal multi-tab lease system could incorrectly count every lease attempt as a conflict.

This did not normally damage player progress, but it produced misleading diagnostic data.

The lease verification logic has now been corrected.

Session-only mode no longer generates false save-conflict statistics.

Boot Information Cleanup

A remaining legacy boot marker from version 1.18.4 could briefly appear during slower startup conditions.

Startup, feedback, News, release and cache metadata have now been synchronized to the current version.

Mobile UI Regression Pass

The complete interface was checked again using mobile-sized browser profiles.

All 33 registered screens were tested using:

  • Desktop English
  • iPhone-sized English
  • iPhone-sized German

Results:

33 / 33 screens rendered successfully in every profile

The audit found:

  • 0 page errors
  • 0 console errors
  • 0 route failures
  • 0 duplicate DOM IDs
  • 0 relevant horizontal page overflow
  • 0 visible NaN or undefined state errors

The recently corrected Battle Round indicator was also measured again.

The crystal and ROUND 0 label now share the same horizontal center on mobile.

Fractured Paths Stress Test

The new Rift system received an additional procedural-generation stress test.

A total of 10,000 Rift routes were generated across all available depths:

  • 2,000 × Depth 1
  • 2,000 × Depth 5
  • 2,000 × Depth 10
  • 2,000 × Depth 15
  • 2,000 × Depth 20

Result:

0 invalid routes

The Fractured Paths self-test also remains fully operational.

Equipment Generator Audit

The equipment generator was tested across:

  • all 11 normal equipment slots
  • levels 1–150
  • multiple rarity tiers
  • generated stat combinations

A total of 2,200 equipment items were generated.

Result:

0 generator errors
0 invalid stat values

Regression Test Results

The existing system test suites remain green:

  • Persistence: 12 / 12
  • Quality: 10 / 10
  • Session Guard: 7 / 7
  • Card Arena: 38 / 38
  • Casino / Fortune: 20 / 20
  • Nexus: 17 / 17
  • Nexus M3: 7 / 7
  • Nexus M4: 4 / 4
  • Nexus M5: 7 / 7
  • Deepfolk Living: 6 / 6
  • World Adventure: Passed
  • Secrets of Crystalis: Passed
  • The Fractured Paths: Passed

Function Integrity

Previous startup problems showed how important it is to ensure that existing functions are never accidentally lost during large updates.

For 1.19.1, the entire named function baseline was compared against 1.19.0.

1,180 / 1,180 existing named game.js functions preserved

No previous gameplay function was removed.

One additional helper was added for the corrected session lease handling.

Achievements & News

The current 410 Achievement definitions remain valid and unique.

The News system was also checked for duplicate IDs and release consistency.

All current entries remain correctly integrated.

Technical Validation

Additional checks include:

47 / 47 JavaScript files passing syntax validation

48 local index references checked

0 missing referenced files

47 / 47 cache-linked resources synchronized to 1.19.1.80

ZIP integrity verified

Compatibility

No progression reset is required.

Version: 1.19.1
Cache Revision: 1.19.1.80
Save Schema: 38
Narrative Data Version: 10

All content from The Fractured PathsSecrets of Crystalis and previous releases remains fully included.

Version 1.19.1 is primarily about making sure the increasingly large world of Crystalis remains stable, consistent and maintainable before development moves forward again.
