[2023] Update 2.1.5m

A lil somethin somethin: You can find the details for this event on the announcement page here.

Hello, crusaders!
An update 2.1.5m is here!

UPD: After reading through your comments and taking into consideration your concerns, we would like to apologize for the whole AppsFlyer and EULA update situation. What we considered a technical thing turned out to be a huge privacy concern for a lot of our players. We value our players the most, so we will do the following:
1. We will completely remove AppsFlyer from the game with a hotfix coming by tomorrow evening.
2. For those who have already accepted the new EULA, all collected data will be deleted after the hotfix.
3. The EULA itself will be restored to the previous version. Any reverse is also a change, so we will kindly ask you to accept the “old” EULA one more time.
Our community means a lot to us, and we are not ready to sacrifice our relationship for some marketing budget optimization. Thank you for taking the time to explain your concerns to us. And once again, we are sorry for the inconvenience this update has caused you.

Patch 2.1.5m weighs about 26 GB if you have purchased all DLCs, if you do not have DLCs — the patch weighs about 18 GB. We apologize for any inconvenience. This patch weight is due to future releases of DLCs and further work on the game. We hope for your understanding.

Highlights:

• Some locations in Through the Ashes and The Treasure of the Midnight Isles DLCs have been optimized;
  
• When saving on the flying platforms of the mage tower in Alushinyrra, companions could be stuck on one of the platforms — fixed;
  
• Trying to talk to Ramien when he goes to the Defender's Heart resulted to freeze — fixed;
  
• We have implemented a 3rd party service named Appsflyer — an industry standard tracking solution for user acquisition for computer and mobile games. This solution allows developers and publishers to understand which part of players have purchased the game due to the impact of their advertising campaigns. It will help us to define the key metrics of the campaigns and significantly improve our marketing efforts. Though Appsflyer is fully compliant with GDPR and other data processing regulations, we needed to reflect its implementation in the game's EULA, which resulted in improvements of the paragraph 3.1 of the respective EULA.

If you are playing with mods, don’t forget to update them before loading your saves!
