Hi Steam! We have just released version 1.03 of Ember on Steam. This patch focuses on fixing the most common issues that users have been reporting. A big thank-you to everyone that reported bugs, and sent in saves, screenshots and logs.
Note that the first time you load your savegame in 1.03 the load may take a little longer than normal, as it has to spend some time patching your save game to the latest version of the world.
Here are the changes since version 1.00:
- [HOTFIX] fixed an issue where Fia wasn't in her chamber when you are on the quest to reunite with her (savegames affected by this issue will be auto-patched on load)
- fixed the issue where players with Windows usernames with extended characters couldn’t save
- fixed a crash when loading save games after losing in battle
- fixed progression blocker if you get to the bog of souls, go back to drink the potion, then fast travel back to the bog then talk to the necro
- added a work around for the weird issue where Gia wouldn’t make the potion appear and the main quest would get stuck
- fixed rare bug where Monte’s door would stay closed even at night so you couldn’t get in to talk to him
- fixed a punctuation error in Stephan’s dialog in first dungeon
- added a bedroll to the Radiance merchant’s inventory
- made Heal Area last 10 seconds like its description says, up from 5 seconds
- made enemy encounters in the “Cleanse the Barrows” quest area a bit easier
- added a popup box after you rest and gain 0% xp boost telling players they should have waited more to rest
- new way of detecting desktop resolution on PC that should be more accurate, and if desktop resolution isn’t a valid game resolution fall back to 1024x768
- fixed some grammar issues in the book “The End is Near!”
- fixed exploit where you could easily get 100% XP Boost by using the "wait" functionality a few times then resting
- fixed issue where you could unlock Shepherd Plains fast travel before gaining the ability to fast travel
- Coren is more clear that you have to drag the hay bales aside to get through the door in darkwood
- unlock “A Blade of Legend” achievement even if you complete that quest the “bad” way, where the family moves to Pinnacle
- when completing the “Woodkeeper’s Daughter” quest and choosing to take care of Glowy, the player is given a Glowy item they can choose what to do with
- made bedroll’s name always visible to ensure people pick it up in the first dungeon
- fixed some hardware-specific crashing issues due to shaders
We hope you're enjoying Ember! Keep those suggestions and feedback coming on the forums. Love hearing from you all!
