Login and display
Fixed the black screen some players got after logging in. The fade from black now runs on real time and clears itself, even on slow machines where the world is still streaming in.
Fixed the original character body showing through Cat Form and Bear Form. Changing gear or hair while shapeshifted no longer reveals the body, and gear equipped in a form appears correctly when you shift back.
Fixed helmets not hiding beards, moustaches and brows on your character. The Character window preview now matches your character too.
Controls
Fixed the mouse cursor jumping to the center of the screen when clicking, most noticeable at low frame rates or when clicking loot bags and NPCs.
Plugging in a controller still switches to the Action Camera, but only for a controller connected during play. Unplugging it switches back, and turning the option off with a controller attached now stays off.
Quests
Shadows of Blackmire: the "Descent into Darkness" quest can now be completed.
Shadows of Blackmire: the Crimson Vortex boss and his adds now spawn in the boss room. They were previously placed far above the arena and could never be reached.
The quest journal now always shows the quest text you were given. The completion text appears only when handing the quest in.
Companions and enemies
Adventurers now judge weapon drops by the hand they would fill. Balin needs one-handed weapons and shields, Mira Voss needs a main hand and an off-hand blade, and casters need staffs only.
Branchweavers, zombies, imps and fly traps attack normally again while you stand in melee, instead of standing still between their special attacks.
