A surprise patch has appeared!
As we push towards the Forgotten Gods release (just 2 more days as of this post!), we are throwing every improvement we can at you.
Today’s patch has some pretty exciting changes to the animation system that we are thrilled to get into your hands.
We hope you enjoy this pre-release patch! For the full list of changes, see below:
v1.1.1.0
Note to Community Translators: v1.1.0.0 Translation packs are compatible with the v1.1.1.0 patch.
[Major New Features]
- Melee combat animations have been updated to feel more responsive and snappy. In some cases, the hit call occurs slightly faster than before, but overall animation timings remain the same as before and this change has no impact on the speed of attacks.
- Improved blending on ranged combat animations. This change has no impact on the speed of attacks.
- Improved weapon trails visible during weapon attacks, particularly with magic weapons.
[Tech]
- Added “/x64” command line option. When added to the game shortcut, forces the 64 bit version to launch.
- Fixed a crash which could sometimes occur when joining multiplayer games using a 32 bit client.
- Fixed a crash which could occur when rendering Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Thai/Vietnamese fonts.
- Fixed an issue where monsters would sometimes begin rapid-firing their skills like some sort of bullet-hell game. We put them back in the correct genre.
- Fixed a crash which could occur when joining a multiplayer server using an incorrect password.
[Game]
- Fixed a bug where pets (and monsters) would sometimes try to attack enemies which should not normally be targeted.
- Exorcised the Depraved Sanctuary door so that it no longer appears open when it is in fact not.
- Fixed an issue where player pets would suffer from negative health regeneration (and thus rapidly perish) when affected by certain monster debuffs (ex. Aetherial Regurgitator’s aura).
