:: Patch note - Version 0.12.01 ::

While this patch is not a miraculous fix for all the Online issues, it should still help players to have a smoother co-op experience overall. We are still working on fixes and optimizations and will continue to do so throughout the development of Ravenswatch in Early Access. Thank you to everyone that has shared their issues with us, your reports help us greatly while trying to resolve them. We will track the results of this patch to see what can still be improved while working on other online fixes as well.

Fixed bugs

Network issues: + Desynch issues: Desynch issues have been limited and *dramatic* desynchronizations should be less frequent. Note: Though the Desynch issues still remain as it is a core problem of the online architecture of the game, we have pushed numerous fixes that should prevent vast delays from happening for some players. The issue can still be present depending on the internet connection between the host and peers. + Internet connection logs: You can now check the quality of the internet connection of all the players by pressing Esc/Start. Screenshotting this menu while encountering Desynch issues and sharing it with us on our Discord server will help us in resolving this issue. + Play with more than 4 players: Fixed an issue where it was possible to play with more than 4 players (sorry, hehe) + Spreading across the map: We have made adjustments so that being spread across the map should now be a smoother experience
Grimoire of Monsters: Fixed the issue where Grimoires were not lootable after completing the activity
Early Access message: The Early Access message appearing at the end of each run has been moved to appear only at the end of a run in Nightmare 9 Note: The message appearing at the end of each successful run, no matter what Nightmare level you were on, was confusing for players and let them believe that they had reached the end of the Early Access content, although more characters, upgrades, magical objects, and Nightmare difficulties were not unlocked.
Sandman: Fixed an issue where the texts in the Sandman’s shop were not localized
