Dear Extraordinary Survivalists
v1.20.0-rc.1, a release candidate, can now be downloaded through the account manager.
The primary focus of this update was on delivering the second major chapter in our game's story. There are 4 new unique story locations that require long distance travel to reach them. Long distance travel is enhanced by two new transport systems - the Elk for land based travel and the Sailboat for traversing bodies of water.
The team worked really hard on this one. We powered through natural disasters, family emergencies, unforeseen technical challenges, unfulfilled ambitions and various other roadblocks. I probably sound like a broken record by now, but again we seem to have ended up building one of the largest updates so far. Turns out that hiring more game developers does not speed up development, it just makes us all way more ambitious 
As always, the entire team is deeply grateful for all the feedback, screenshots, gameplay videos, testing and bug reports you have provided to us! Vintage Story would not be the same without your input.
Can I start playing 1.20 now?
We are decently confident that your v1.19 or older worlds will not break. If you want to be on the safe side, wait until the stable release. But, please do not now use a world created in any of the pre-releases of 1.20 - those pre-release worlds might need manual command entering to get the correct story locations and other corrections, so it will be better to start afresh.
Old v1.19 worlds should also automatically, retroactively generate the new story locations, and if there are player structures in the way, you will see a dialog appear with instructions on how to manually generate them.
To get the Elk mount you now need to visit the resonance archive first.
Can I explore the new lore content now?
We do have everything in place for you to play through Chapter 2 from start to finish, but it is still a bit rough around the edges. I think it needs another month for it to really be in the place it deserves. For those that don't mind a bit of jank, do have a go! Otherwise, you might to want to wait a few rc releases. We'll keep adding new goodies and polish.
To get you started with the lore content - revisit the Resonator at the Library, listen to it, then revisit the same treasure hunter who gave you the map to the Resonance Archives. Defeating the Eidolon will now also drop a special item to help you in your journey, but it is optional!
We hope you will be as dazzled as we were when we first saw everything come together! We are excited to hear, watch and read about your experience with the new lore content - we've put a lot of soul into all of it.
Still unfinished / known issues
The new lore content still needs polishing and a few small additions, the last story location will likely still get a larger reward, a number of sounds effects are missing, there is potential performance degradation on dedicated servers due to the new server side physics system, we had to disable the coral reefs for now, the sailboat still needs more work, elks cannot be called from unloaded chunks, and we will do more on gameplay balancing and other various loose ends.

Game updates since v1.19
- Everything listed in the pre.1 devlog post
-
Feature: Added two special sound effects
- Sound dampening effect when underwater
- Reverb effect when in caves, or other large mostly enclosed spaces made of reverbing material (rock, brick, metal)
-

- Sailboat rear halyard moved forward to avoid clipping through player's head
- Fixed Boat construction site sliding off when against a wall, fixed creative mode material-less building not working
- Feature: Dynamic color grading. Cranks up contrast and sepia based on temperature. Added a switch in the settings to disable. Added contrast slider as well.
-
Feature: Shield mechanic improvements
- More oomphy shield blocking sounds. Added light & heavy metal shield hit + heavy wood shield hit
- Shields now have a 100% blocking chance against projectiles and absorb more damage in that case
- Some high flying projectiles were not correctly blocked by shields
- Shield block animation now only playes when successfully blocked
-

Exact performance numbers not yet benchmarked, guesstimated +10% (Technical info: More CPU cache friendly algorithms for determinining which entities to send to which players, and which of those entities should actively tick. On highly populated servers this can become a bottleneck, e.g. 60 players with 8000 loaded entities = 48000 checks)

- Tweak: Reduced startup time on certain savegames (Technical info: Greatly improve performance of the block registering/remapping system for savegames with a very high max block id count. E.g. from 6 seconds to 2 seconds. Achieved by greatly reducing the amount of calls to Array.Resize on a very large array)
- Fixed: Runaway block and item mapping list growth in very old savegames in rare cases, causing 2 to 10 fold loading times and increased RAM usage
- Tweak: Distant Salmons now despawn over time. Reduced hare spawn count during worldgen
- Tweak: Greatly reduce lag spikes when entering areas with lots of clutter blocks (Technical info: Tesselate the shape in the chunk tesselation thread where possible by remembering which no longer need any texture uploads)
