Crusaders!
We’ve prepared a new patch for the Windows version - 1.0.2e! The list of patch notes is rather long, so here’s what the majority of you’ve been asking about:

  • The red defence banner issue has been fixed;
  • Auto-casting issue has been fixed too;
  • The problem with vendors not buying your loot has been fixed as well;
  • Archers no longer change their target for no reason at all;
  • Some achievements got fixed;
  • We also fixed a number of items;
  • Some mythic quests didn’t progress - and now they do;
  • The issue with Intel GPU has also been fixed (read below)

We’ve also uploaded a patch for Mac, and we apologize for the delay. Mac version has been updated to 1.0.2b, and the difference is that it includes the fixes from previous and this Windows patch, but doesn’t include the fix for Intel GPU loading issue.

Hey, stealing the thread but more likely that you guys can see this.

Bolster spell is broken with magic missile. Does like 1000% more damage, i guess this isnt right. Can we expect a fix soon?

Thanks for a fellow lich.

It's on the to do list, but currently in a lesser priority than more critical issues. Enjoy the power while it lasts :)

So the lich path turn us in a Skeleton, interesting, but, can we keep our flesh in this path? i'd like to keep my original apparence...

The power has a price! Of course, you can always choose to step back and refuse the gift of immortality, never completing your final transformation. Should you? The choice is yours...

I just hope patches don’t invalidate my saves. At least not until I finish my first campaign.

There are multiple internal checking and blocking mechanisms to keep save compatibility. So on a global level, no, that absolutely shouldn't happen after the game was released. However, I would still recommend to keep multiple instances of saves, just in case you personally encounter a gamebreaking bug, which your playthough may not be able to recover from after it's fixed. For example when it already allowed you to do something that mechanics shouldn't allow. It should be a very rare situation, but there's always a chance you can be unlucky.

/u/OwlcatStarrok Please look into the game-breaking bug that happens when you respec while on the demon mythic path before getting summoned to the prison - if you respec before getting summoned, you don't get placed in the cell and instead appear on the escape rock + all of your companions are present and the entire prison is empty. I had to lose 10+ hours of my save to go back to a state where I hadn't respec'd after choosing the demon path.

Hello! Yes, respec has been reported today to be broken in chapter 3, much so for Demon and Lich. Please avoid using it meanwhile. It's in the known issues and is being investigated.

thanks for this update on the problem and just seen you fixed the no undead spawning in crusade mode bug that was fast! great work :)

Yup, folks at the dev team are actively monitoring the feedback with our assistance. And decided to push that a bit earlier as it was already prepared.

Thanks, any eta at all on when the lich transformation might be fixed?

Unless the dev team suddenly bumps into something really complicated, within a week is a safe bet.

Hey just wanted to check, are there any plans to implement more of the occult classes later on?

Hi! More classes are possible in future DLCs, no details at this time though.
