I (Andrew) did a deep dive and found some extra system files that weren't necessary and that were slowing down the game in a few ways. The most noticeable is in battles. The game now won't stutter when using spells/abilities that target a lot of enemies! This has been a huge sore spot since launch and was introduced when we were trying to figure out why achievements weren't working.
Some bug fixes and changes:
- The bug where you couldn't encounter Tiamat any more after he flees should be fixed (check to make sure and let us know, though).
- Celeste's ultimate ability Duelist Dance felt too similar to Shakar's ultimate ability Flurry of Death. Now, Duelist Dance does 3 attacks instead of 4 and damage has been increased to compensate.
- Finally fixed the orphan Abeyan bug where you could give him 1000 talents for eternity with nothing changing.
- Beating the game on Regular now gives you the Easy achievement too. Beating the game on Hard gives you Regular and Easy achievements.
- The power of level III spells was increased slightly.
A few other small bugs were changed as well.
Let us know how the game runs for you or if you see any issues from this update.
Happy adventuring!
