[Game Update] - 450194

Update Information:

Hi Grifters!

The current update cycle is focused on bugfixes, balance tweaks, and just a smattering of new content. We're getting the game ready for 1.0 and the console release (exact dates TBD), and buying a little time while we work on the Smith finale. The finale will be available as soon as (probably before) it's ready on experimental, but we're going to hold it back from release until 1.0 actually comes out.

All of this makes F8s more important than ever, so they are much appreciated! 

UI

• Add a Reset User Settings option to the Setting screen.
• Hiding the gamepad hints on the bottom bar for the Options Screen tabs since they already sow near the tabs themselves
• Changing the card scale on the tooltips, for the different UI scaling modes
• Showing the right gamepad hint for the pause button depending on the current control mode. Also when the pause button is hidden, the focus loop goes through the relationship indicator, instead of the pause button. And when the top bar is opened with a gamepad, the focus is given to the :GetDefaultFocus() widget, instead of the pause button. Also fixed the corner button's layout issues when animating focus in/out
• Adjust slideshow text font to fit.
• Showing tooltips on gamepad mode on the Perks screen
• Fix for controller reticule getting stuck off if you talked to foolo before facing oolo.
• Update text related to card xp gains to use tl;dr style, for consistency.
• Add text notating which cards were upgraded to fight club oppo.
• Refresh hints on DayOverScreen after the animation coro has finished.
• Move minigame objective widget from overlay to CardsPanel so it doesn't overlap card choices, etc.
• Only batch unique textures during font rendering.  Fixes multiple controller images from sometimes not showing up if they overflow the samplers.
• Fix max perk tier limit popup showing even if you are simply swapping a same-tier perk.
• Add 'liked' dialog at end of random event, so you aren't fighting your friends.
• Replaced untrained_pet_card quip that was yote specific
• The end of turn "are you sure?" prompt no longer shows if the only playable cards are empty bottles
• Don't generate random roll for negotiation damage previews (we show the range)
• CardsPanel:LayoutButtons was being called 16 times during the the init process.  Removing a bunch of manual calls to OnScreenMode/OnControlMode changed, since these are automatically called recursively by Widget.  NegotiationPanel:OnGainTop doesn't need to exist for a similar reason.   I can't be certain there aren't some weird edge cases that cutting 16 layout calls down to 3 are going to miss, but better to fix those a different way.

GAMEPLAY

• Added combat behaviour, boon, bane and death loot for the Admiralty Investigators
• Fix progression blocker when you provoke and kill the proprietor of the hat shop who hates you at the start of deep undercover
• The fight in rook_story_expedition_monsters.lua is now only NO_DEATH_LOOT if it is against the big pack feral autodogs
• dismiss your chosen partner, if you manage to keep them through the mullifee encounter
• Lowered damage on the Pearlie's Confidence and increased their composure gains slightly
• Nerfed the Lumicytes slightly
• Changed combat party in side_smith_render_unto_hesh.lua to not include an upgraded lumicyte 
• Crash fix: Remove 'warn' option if Tei is no longer alive.
• Fix to rescue soft-locked day 3 Smith quests when "The Ambush" should be completed but isn't.
• Day 3 Smith: Fix soft-lock when completing go_empty objective
• Enable the Counterplay, Total Upgrade achievements.
