- Fixes a persistence conflict when equipment changes from one tier to the next.
- Covers the same upgrade path across Cannons, Hull Plates, Sails and Spyglasses.
- The upgraded item and its costs are saved together, preserving normal upgrade requirements.
Version 0.22.2 is verified on Europa and the Steam default branch.
Changing equipment tier could disconnect the player and other players in the same region when the upgraded item was saved. This correction gives the replacement item its own identity while keeping the existing transaction checks.
Upgrade costs, success rules, equipment bonuses and skill requirements are unchanged.
The previous live incident and its interrupted bot test remain recorded. This hotfix does not claim a completed populated playtest or a new capacity result.
