- A brand new Stalker mutant has been added. Every so often this creature will chase you through the game world from Level 5 on-wards and you are granted EXP for escaping alive
- Uniques that drop will now be much closer to the area level. IE a level 30 area cannot drop a unique lower than level 25. Elites, Rares and Superiors are unaffected by this change however
- Hunger/thirst rates were slowed
- Torch light no longer bounces around when moving
- Made inventory window bigger
- Default lighting was further adjusted to make it easier to see what you and your character are doing
- A whole bunch of visual bugs were fixed (flickers, gaps in walls etc)
- Fixed a whole bunch of bugs relating to multiplayer sync
- Fixed a bug that caused the Roid Hulk carry on walking with missing legs
- Fixed a bug that caused your character to look down slightly most of the time
- Added some extra logic to try and prevent "double click" bugs in the UI
NOTE: You will need to quit the game client and install the update on Steam before theses changes take effect. If the game fails to update, logging out of Steam and back in again usually does the trick.
I know this is not the update many of you were expecting based on my previous announcement. I did spend a lot of time working on Armour and Backpacks, but unfortunately I was not able to fit all the various combinations of these together correctly on the human avatars. I've had to rethink how we handle this and ask our artist for changes. Unfortunately this means that Armour/Backpacks cannot be released until this is done.
