Build 6246/6250

Any old saved games in Demonis from build 6246 will result in the camera NOT moving at all. Your guy maybe able to move (when I went to Hades, I was merely paralyzed) but the screen doesn't track you so the game ends for you there. GAME OVER.

However, if you have a previous saved game not in Demonis and walk back into Demonis, it appears to work.

a) This will probably NOT be fixed so I hope you have multiple saved games before demonis and/or before you patch, go outside, save, then patch.

b) I think this is an indirect fix to the crash to desktops in demonis. Not sure if you guys noticed, your odds of crashing while randomly walking in demonis are MUCH greater. I suspect they fixed some sort of camera tracking memory leak.


[edit]
Ah thanks for the workaround! Even after hitting a teleporter, it got stuck, but going blind with the automap is a great idea (plus using the arrow keys). Good find!

I can confirm that Patch 4 (Build 6250) has fixed the following (as announced):
- Inventory scrolling outside castles works fine now
- Battle obstacles have HP again
- Battle obstacles can be affected by rage abilities. At least my Viking Vortex was able to destroy a Cursed Cross and an Altar of Lightning.
- Blizzard is fixed. Every affected unit can now be frozen, and the duration I experienced was 3 turns for every troop.

"Help the Vikings of Vestlig: The last turn in with Taor has dialog where you can accept an amulet or not. If you don't accept it, apparently you get runes and gold (and no amulet) but the text suggest you should also get the amulet (and says nothing about the runes). Recommended to review this dialog and outcomes. "

As a side note, if you don't accept it, you also get a LOT of experience points (relatively)

My suggestion is not to accept it, as the amulet stats are lack luster.

And he usually sells another amulet back in the village anyway.

I've made an update for fixed bugs. Appreciate posts like yours Ivra, where you confirm bugs that are definitely fixed. They usually include some fixes and tweaks that aren't reported, so keep an eye out.

Things I am wondering if testers have time:

• Did the book of evil fix correct everything? It had problems with super stats, no charges on drain ability, and drain itself was typically too weak to use. Wondering if I can mark the whole thing as fixed.
• Does timeless actually work yet? Used to extend duration and show the icon, but not actually apply the spell. This has been on the list forever.
• All sorts of fixes to rune chain. does it show the correct damage now and inflict it, too, without a crash
• Are all the bugs with avenging angel fixed? Including the rare one where if an enemy has it on him and you hit him with spell, the counter doesn't reduce?
• Do enemies still try to kill powder kegs and blow themselves up?
• Does the fix to the Black Spot quest by chance refer to the quest Black Label?
• Does greasy mist still stack with multiple castings? I couldn't tell if the update about spells modifying damage applied to this or not.
  

@ work right now so I can’t be to specific, but I remember there were more title achievements problems than there’re on the list. Basically you don’t get credit for accomplishing them; although the game itself recognized these titles.

Well it seems that most quests are fixed time to give another go.

Awesome work with this thread.

After some quick testing, book of evil's drain ability is back to having charges but it's still too weak to use. Mine had 430 hp with 20-something intellect and rank in creator... what am I gonna eat that has 430 hp for the whole stack? Also, I don't see any boost from creator skill either, adding it to the entry.

The resurrection tooltips are fixed for me (and I know some players never had this issue) so I'm happy about that.

A general call to everyone reading this thread: if you start over, let me know if any of the quests still marked as bugged are in fact functioning. Some of them have been on the list for a loooong time so it's possible they were fixed earlier and never officially communicated.

I saw a good candidate to eat. Another book of evil. :) Yeah, your findings match what I expected (since it says book strength is 0%). So no bonus beyond default base values.
