  • There was an issue that would sometimes keep the poison shot/projectile sound playing in a loop - should be prevented

  • WarCry Skill does not require standing still anymore, you can now execute it while running. Let us know what other skills need changes like that.

  • Some minor localization improvements for various languages based on your reports

  • There was an issue with the gender-specific adjectives for dropitems in german localization that should be fixed now (e.g. "seltenes Langstab")

  • Introduced cap/max values for various stats that would otherwise lead to gamebreaking results (we don't want to prevent theorycrafting or specialized builds but there was no control at all so far - we may raise these caps on higher difficulties later)

  • Magic Projectile damage type changed from physical to magical (subtype arcane)

  • In rare cases the temple entrance assets from the desert were spawned inside the temple dungeon - this should not happen anymore.

  • Increased the chance for higher rarity loot in treasure chests by 10%

  • Stacking weapon attack power exploit should be prevented from now on.

  • We have found a potential cause for the neverending loading screen issue that some players experienced, we are going to focus fixing it from next Monday on - that being said, the issue usually does not occur if you meet the minimum hardware requirements listed on the Steam store page.
