Hi folks,
The somewhat larger size is due to updating to the latest version of the Unity Engine. But make no mistake, this is a huge update on a technical level too, and it will change the way you experience the game.
One of the first things you might notice is the enhanced visual feedback during combat. Not only is it sleeker, but there's also a new impact VFX that should make each action feel even more dynamic, and hopefully help you immerse more in combat and visit the combat log even less. As for the VFX animation speed you can tweak it or, if you prefer a minimalist approach, switch them off altogether in the game settings.
When you're out there exploring, expect fewer sneaky mimics outside of dungeons, fewer corpses and more books. I've also revised the species descriptions to make them more immersive and in line with the rich backstory of the world.
Last but not least, there are some more practical improvements: you can now copy information from various panels to your clipboard, and if you've been curious about what on Erannorth each game expansion adds exactly? Well, now there's a neatly organized overview in the main menu.
Last but not least, in the Exalted Heroes Expansion, the Exalted perks have been better integrated, offering both speedier loading times and multiclass compatibility.
If you encounter any issues do let me know, and I'll fix them as soon as possible!
You can read the details in the patch notes below.
