Units:
• Drain talent (‘Book of Evil’s units of all levels).
• Paean talent (Skald).
• ‘Avenging Angel’ is added to Paean spells list of Skald.
• Necromancer does not possess ‘Immune to Mind spells’ ability any more.
• ‘Thread of Life’ damage, received by orcs from animal (or vice versa) is now displayed in log.
• Viking does not escape a trap when using ‘Shield Bash’. The same change is applied to similar talents.
• ‘Action Rage’ ability fully recharges a random orc stack with Adrenaline.
• ‘Onslaught’ ability’s distribution of Adrenaline is changed.

Spells:
Berserk, Blessing, Divine Armor, Hell's Breath, Sacrifice, Kamikaze, Pygmy, Corrosion, Ghost, Blade, Peacefulness, Fire Rain, Gift, Negation, Weakness, Dragon Slayer and Plague were corrected.

Items:
Living Shield is fixed.

Others:
• Rage abilities always add experience after Christa’s joining the Hero.
• ‘Hilda's Arrows’ ability is fixed.
• Valkyries titles are fixed.
• Scrolling items in backpack is fixed (location Castle).
• ‘Greedy’ achievement is fixed.
• Some descriptions were slightly changed.

* This change will be applied only after starting a new game because this data is stored in a save file.

Can we get this posted on the TOP, so everyone can see which patches fix what.

Also, I found out the hard way that apparently Start Game, Build 6246, Current Build 6429 results in FAILURE to complete the Heir to the Throne mission. Oddly enough whatever initial release build was + build 6426 allowed me to finish that mission.

Steam just updated my game to build 6250. Does anybody know what was fixed in this patch? Are there any patch notes?

haha Just as I posted this the patch notes appeared above my post. I guess I have gotten my answer...

I'm guessing this list is incomplete.... my guess was CORRECT!

Demon Rage ball generation is FIXED!

Semi-bad news, they added a new bug which breaks old saved games in Demonis. I suppose minor issue.

Good stuff all around as far as I can tell.

Hope they fixed the spellbook issue during the last battles aswell but I suppose a fresh game is the only way to tell for sure.

[Totoro]

keep em coming

[hippo]

So still 50 updates to come and we will be able to play...

I can test for this later today if you'd like.

While I agree we still need more fixes, what are the major ones that you guys are waiting on? I've beaten the game twice already. The quest bugs do not always occur and rarely for the critical path.

I've heard of the '4 undead not spawning' bug, but haven't experienced it once. Everything else is optional.

Hooray! Guys, let me know what other fixes you uncover as you play, and of course any new bugs (knock on wood).

[FAT_Gasher]

Awesome. Steam updated the game again. Dunno, if others got that bug, as well but whenever I load any saved game, my character is missing his horse and the camera doesn't follow him anymore. That way the game got unplayable for me. I'm not sure, if that happens to everyone because I am in that demon-world where it's also not possible to fly.
Maybe someone could tell me, if I'm the only one having this issue.
