Hi, all TSS players!
We've been working diligently this week to correct issues reported for the 5.0 engine and the TSS hold.
I'd like to officially release version 5.0.1 within the next couple of days. This is an RCB (release candidate build) patch.
Attached is a patch you can apply to your Windows demo or full version of TSS 5.0.0 or 5.0.1 in order to get a few dozen code-related issues resolved right away (see below).
This patch does not contain TSS hold fixes made for 5.0.1. Those need to be obtained by downloading and running the 5.0.1 full game installer.
Change log:
5.0.1 TSS hold changes:

OHV -- fixed potential repeating cutscene in Entrance room when returning to level
TRH:3N1E -- changed a floor tile to dirt to mark out the middle gentryii's entire movement range (in demo+full hold)
BtS:2S2W -- added "Flush Speech" before main dialogue begins to ensure cut scene doesn't end early
FWOT:Entrance -- removed second "the" in level entrance text
FWOT:2N -- made Chapter 3 display unmissable
FWOT:3N1W -- fixed "percarious" typo on scroll
SG:1S1E -- fixed "sibilings" typo on scroll
UDME:6N -- removed secret walls
SM:1S5E -- added trapdoors between (2,1) and (2,7) to facilitate backtracking
SM:1S6E -- added a rock to block off the east non-exit
FS:1N -- fixed script at (16,13) to not wait for Beethro to move off the tile before setting "Player Role None" and appearing, otherwise the player could step S first, then Beethro walks through the closed door. Fixed by appearing after setting Player Role None, not before.
LB -- Changed Lemming from type "Citizen" to "Mud Coordinator" to avoid human-sounding death noise
CoT: vortex effect needs to "loop -1" after the it is applied, for restoring game after that effect.
* AL -- mention it is an optional level
KDD:FL:2N -- moved bomb at (6,22) one square east. Put floor at (7,22) and wall at (8,23).
* Fixed misc. typos mentioned on the Bugs board
* OHV:Entrance -- added "End" to a script that didn't have it, that could repeat
* OHV:1S -- fixed C1's entrance in Ch11 cutscene missing an "End on room exit", causing the script to repeat each time you enter the room after that point in the game
* CiaE:NE secret area -- added a flashing text, indicating that AL is an optional challenge level
* TSP:Secret -- tweaked pplate to have the same effect as another one (cosmetic change only)
* TwT -- now created as blue icon on the world map instead of a green one
* TwT:2N -- mention that Tendry can walk on closed doors, in case the player missed that
* CR:2W -- added a checkpoint at (16,11)
* LCS:2N -- added a scroll, explaining that this is a "Nonogram" (etc) puzzle
* LB:1S -- fixed Beethro's monologue about the lemmings repeating incorrectly if you leave the room on Turn 15, as the room is cleared
* TRH:secret -- fixed Arky still being here if the player comes here after visiting with Halph in DAA:HQ:1N1E
* TRA -- Reformatted Entrance text description to be clearer to read
* ED:Entrance -- added a checkpoint
* ED:1W -- fixed main script at (0,0) to not initiate anything if the room is cleared. Fixed creep logic to attempt to go around any blockage in the room exit column. Reduced the exit column to three squares (matching this in the Entrance) to keep CPU slowdown minimized in cases of any blockage. Added a message each time the store opens for business.
* UDME + WG: Fixed room connectivity issues mentioned here.
* WG:Entrance -- fixed dagger guy to not appear when you re-enter the room from the NE exit, leading to the vortex area.
* TLW:2N -- fixed so any walls that get stabbed by the player take damage, and so the guards won't stab the walls on moving south
* BM -- added a challenge for completing the level. Added a treasure chest you can open at the end, filled with greckles, for fun. Added some home-y decor to a few the rooms, not interfering with any puzzles.
* KDD:L1:2N -- Fixed US by replacing the NW pplate toggle with a cracked orb.

* CiaE:3S1E -- removed a mismatched shallow water tile on the N edge
* TA:2N -- moved a mismatched briar tile up one row on the E edge
* HitF:3S2W -- added a tooltip after placing the clone to explain how to switch between them
* CR:2W -- added tooltips to explain (1) temporal clones repeat the movements you made and wait when a movement is blocked, and (2) monsters will target the nearest aggressor.
* TSP: 3N2E -- wait one more turn after the serpent dies before checking whether the player is stuck
* B:H+DS:1S - fixed brains to not disappear on room exit
* Second "37 days" should be "30 days"

-----
I'm hoping to have players try out this new build and confirm that everything mentioned in the above list is fixed. If you do this, please post a reply in the topic for that issue stating that you've verified the fix in this 5.0.1 build.
You can also wait a couple days until we release 5.0.1 officially, but since we're moving quickly on this first maintenance release, it would behoove you to check that this version will not cause you any more grief than 5.0.0 might be. If you find something, we can fix it up for 5.0.1. If we don't receive any feedback, we'll release 5.0.1 anyway, and then it will likely take longer to have those same hypothetical issues resolved for a later version 5.0.2. So, I'm hoping we can get some good support to confirm all the above issues are fixed and no new bugs were introduced in 5.0.1. Thanks so much!
