Howdy Friends,
We hope everyone that didn’t have weekend plans will join us - especially Mac players - to test this update. Release is on the horizon, and we appreciate your contributions to the process. Go team.
SPECIFIC CHANGES & IMPROVEMENTS
- Performance optimizations and stability improvements for menus and gameplay
- Locale fonts updated
BUG FIXES
- All locales have functioning voice over and portrait animations again
- Classic camera restored
- Dev Note: The camera position moved by ~10% when we started drawing the game fullscreen to support the new console UI - the original game stopped drawing where it met the original UI. We’re working on adjustments to the washed out team colors making Wisps or similar elements with transparency faint in classic.
KNOWN ISSUES

Hotfixes
- Early game should no longer have a crash with no error
- Volcano effect should no longer cause huge hitch or crash
- Game screens should load more than audio
- We’re still investigating the desync that seems most associated with LegionTD

Has anyone else lost all in-game sound with this patch? Its enabled in the game settings and I’ve confirmed that my Windows mixer settings are not muting the game. Very odd.

You guys have a long way to go before release. It’s better to polish a turd than release diarrhea. Fix the crashes and the fps issues!

Hey thanks guys for keeping patches coming! I play a good amount and I can report several problems here. The game play is still not smooth enough. There are many bugs such as difficulty click on trees, such as putting wisps on trees, but sometimes the trees take too much space, like if you wanted to put a wisp near a tree but not on it, it is too likely to bind onto the tree. An unrooted NE builidng such as AOW grabs too much space, cant grab the wisps or smaller units standing next to it. The sounds crap out sometimes, cannot hear building or unit completion sounds if not on the same screen. Okay thanks for the updates, keep up the good work!!

Just played a game to check the update. Had a few stuttering issues (but I’m having problems with my cpu lately anyway) but it felt really, really good. I’m looking forward to play the campaign again!
nice
