FIXES
- Fixed an issue with older saves not updating to abilities that have gained perk point options. This will be applied retroactively when a save is loaded.
- Fixed a magic door on Security Floor that opened into the Screaming Void.
- Fixed an issue that caused Soldier Bomblets to set damage to 0 when loading a save.
- Fixed an issue with enemy abilities failing if they applied an effect that was resisted by the player (Fire / Chill / Shock / etc).
- Fixed an issue with Psykonics Dominate that would cause stamina to continue draining after the ability resolves.
- Fixed an issue where moving stackable items (ammo, food, etc) to the apartment stash would drop the item if the stash was partially full.
- Fixed an issue with stackable items being dropped on themselves in inventory causing the items to vanish.
- Reduced particle effect intensity on several Elementalist abilities.
