Power Ranger Wild Force

Bug Fixes and Improvements

Mission Progression

• Fixed a sanctuary location bug that could leave The Heart of the Sanctuary stuck on “Prepare your expedition and wait for Shayla.”

• Sanctuary searches now stay within the mission’s permitted distance.

• Added automatic recovery for existing saves affected by an invalid sanctuary location, without restarting the mission or losing progress.

• Invalid prepared areas are safely restored before another location is selected.

• Clarified the objective: Shayla is locating the sanctuary, and its destination will be marked when ready.

Performance

• Reduced repeated shelter searches and pathfinding calculations for villagers.

• Preserved recovery for villagers stuck during the evacuation, including saves stalled at 17/19 rescued.

• Villagers are released from shelter after the dukes flee.

• Reduced how often the Camera Org and its copies search for targets and calculate paths.

Megazord Animations

• Added protection against animation rewinds caused by backward corrections to the synchronized world clock.

• Duplicate combination requests no longer restart a combination already in progress or replay its starting sound.

• Genuine new attacks and combinations can still begin normally.

Resources and Text

• Excluded 42 resources with invalid filenames that generated resource-path warnings.

• Fixed corrupted accents in six cooperative mission objectives across the supported Spanish variants.

• Updated the sanctuary objective in English and Spanish.

Validation

• Passed 24 automated server tests in the Wild Force-only build.

• Verified that the release includes the fixes and contains no Dino Thunder content.

These changes address confirmed issues, but performance improvements may vary between systems. The player-reported visual issue has not yet been checked in their specific save.
