TBS2 Update #1

TBS2 Update #1 Patch Notes Based on your reports and feedback, we've addressed some of the issues that you've raised. Several important issues, such as the Bolverk Training blockage, and Alette's Mend rank, have been fixed, along with a bunch of more minor adjustments and fixes. See below for a detailed list of the changes. Build number 2.28.83

• Trample Ability: Trample with Knockback item was causing the knockback to occur with the runthrough damage, before the final hit lands on the target. The knockback effect now applies only with the final hit of Trample.

• Options Menu: The Soundtrack link now takes you to the correct place to purchase the original soundtrack (OST)

• Fixed an issue causing Aleo to leave the roster in Lundar and never return, under certain story conditions. He now reliably returns to the roster after his mission.

• Training Challenge: The challenge vs. Bolverk now spawns the correct number of Bolverk's allies. Higher ranked Bolverk was causing fewer of his allies to spawn. Bolverk is now clamped to rank 5 during this training challenge.

• FixedSoul BondFixed a typo that incorrectly indicated that Soul Bond drained STR. The attack correctly drains WIL and the description has been corrected to reflect this.

• Bear Rage: Bolverk's Bear Rage should no longer trigger the Dredge Shudder effect when activated next to a buffed Dredge.

• AddedFighter TrainingFixed an issue allowing Iver to train more clansmen than are available, after the Oldwood.
• FixedGeneralCorrected a few typographical errors.
• AdjustedOptimizationReduced memory footprint of Sigbjorn's portrait animation.
• FixedAchievementFixed an issue preventing Warmonger achievement progress from displaying in Steam.
• AddedItemsOmit several starting items from the marketplace. These items are obtained in Saga1, or awarded to new players in Saga2. These items include: Horseskor, Tortoise Band, Valka Thread, and Lightning Runestone.

• Tryggvi: The first conversation with Tryggvi after Aleo's village was incorrect if he had been imported from Saga1. The content of this conversation now correctly reflects your past relationship with him.

• FixedEinartoft BridgeHakon was making a reference to your destruction of the Einartoft Bridge, even if you had not destroyed it. This is fixed.
• FixedKnockbackSome knockback effects were causing Barbed Stones and Troll Stones to get moved, although their visual display remained in the same location. This has been fixed.
• FixedHorsebornFixed issue causing Horseborn first ability maximum rank to appear to reset to 1 when leveling to rank 6, then increase again while leveling through 10.

• Alette Mend: Alette's starting rank on Mend was not showing as expected when starting chapter 14 at high levels.

• AdjustedStartupThe startup time of the game on Windows has been dramatically improved
• FixedSkulkersInvisible Skulkers were incorrectly targetable using the gamepad, or by clicking on the initiative bar. This has been fixed.
• FixedUmbrageFixed an issue that was causing Umbrage to incorrectly trigger Shudder when activated.
• FixedInjuriesFixed an issue that was preventing injuries from applying to fallen heroes during battle. This was caused by the injury-prevention feature of Training (Sparring and Challenges) fro leaking over into regular battles.
• FixedBear RageFixed: Bolverk's Bear Rage was incorrectly indicating allies as targets, even though allies are unaffected.
• FixedBear RageFixed: Counter attack appears to trigger from Bear's Rage when being attacked by an archer, causing the frenzy counter attack to attack a melee opponent.
• FixedBear RageFixed: Using Bear Rage can cause enemies to move to an area unreachable by your characters.
