0.6.2 - Beta

DOOM Eternal Archipelago v0.6.2

Generation and options

• Exultia’s first Sentinel Battery is always randomized as an AP location. Removed its randomization toggle.
• Additional Victory Requirements default to off.
• Added Include Slayer Gates and Include Secret Encounters, both enabled by default.
• Disabling Slayer Gates removes their completion checks and keys from the item pool. The Unmaykr goal requires Slayer Gates enabled.
• Progressive health, armor and ammo upgrades count as Progression, including at least one required Blood Punch acquisition.
• Random Mission Order prioritizes less demanding missions in its first four slots.
• Mission Access as Items offers more varied starting missions among equally viable choices.
• Taras Nabad and Urdak include additional sustained-combat requirements in generation logic.

Gameplay and progression

• Weapon mastery effects follow the selected mod, keeping Sticky Bombs, Full Auto, Precision Bolt and Micro Missiles effects separate.
• Frag Grenade upgrades received before the base grenade wait for it without blocking other item deliveries.
• DeathLink now actually applies the selected mode: Soft uses one lethal hit with normal protections; Hardcore causes direct death, bypassing Extra Lives and Saving Throw.
• Taras Nabad awards Mission Complete through its final portal back to the Fortress.
• ARC Complex’s four Elena Richardson logs use ordinary AP pickups.
• Starting an AP campaign displays its available missions and initial Fortress pickups.

HUD and Mission Select

• ITEMS FOUND displays throughout the supported maps and pause screens.
• The AP gameplay HUD hides both the Demonic Presence label and bar.
• Mission Select displays a separate SLAYER GATE row. The key turns green when received; the Gate turns green when completed.
• All Challenges appears in Mission Select before entering applicable missions, with an orange heading after claiming its AP reward.

Launcher and recovery

• Inventory Resync waits up to 30 seconds for unpaused gameplay and reports waiting, timeout or cancellation.
• Closed-session recovery supports installations where DOOM and launcher data reside on different drives.
• Session preparation failures appear under AP Session and direct players to AP SAVE recovery.
• Linux/Proton adds a Proton Executable selector under Join a Room.

Updating from v0.6.1

Close DOOM and the old launcher, extract the complete package into a new folder, update to Sentinel Core 1.0.4, and reconnect to the same room and slot. Update the room package when prompted.

Existing rooms and AP saves are preserved if you don't update the APWORLD. New option defaults and generation changes apply to newly generated seeds.
