Heya folks!

Thanks for your patience, the new 1.3.53 version is now live! After hundreds of bug fixes and small polishes, countless hours of testing to make sure new problems weren't popping up by solving old ones... It is finally here!

• Added a party stash in Caer Hyfryd for the party to stash their loot, for all you hoarders out there.
  
• Fixed the Reconnaissance quest (Mask faction) not being completable if the Meeting the Rebellion quest (Forge faction) was completed beforehand.
  
• Fixed the Mutant Giant Ape in Lost Temple's treasure room not dropping its head upon being killed (Quest item). Look, the head just... it never was there OK? I'm the DM, this was a rare breed of headless Mutant Giant Ape.
  
• Fixed the AI sometimes taking too long when multiple monsters were hidden in the fog of war. Biding their time. Plotting your demise.
  
• Fixed The Last Endeavor quest failing upon starting a fight with Sitenero
  
• Fixed Orenetis not giving his scepter to the party after completing the Major Gate quest. You've been bamboozled.
  
• Fixed monsters with legendary actions skipping their turn in Multiplayer. Now bosses are bossy again!
  
• Fixed the exit area in Caer Hyfryd sometimes not reapparing even after completing all the available quests in the city. The guards are just taking precautions with travelers you know, with all the diseases going around in the Valley...
  
• Fixed the final cutscene not playing properly if you leave Lost Valley by force after aiding the Dominion.
  
• Fixed the Primal Threat quest (Rebellion faction) being blocked if you left Dinas Gessa before talking to Ellaria. She's ready to talk to you again.
  
• Fixed a freeze when an NPC tries to cast Light (here's a little secret, NPCs don't have inventories in Solasta... so what happens when they use Light which opens the caster's inventory when cast? Nothing good, that's what)
  
• Fixed a strange case of identity theft where Vando Klarn was declared dead instead of Cafrain when the latter was killed.
  
• Fixed a freeze that would occur if the battle started by using a proxy spell such as Call Lightning. Monster dum dum no understand why lightning hurts them, so monster freeze game.
  
• Fixed being able to bypass the final battle cutscene in Crown of the Magister by teleporting to a very specific spot, which would prevent the final battle from playing out correctly.
  
• Fixed The Prisoners (People faction) quest no correctly failing if Sitenero dies. He's dead, Jim.

• The doors in Wizard's Lair can now be opened or closed manually by clicking on them after being opened once.
  
• Fixed an issue in Multiplayer where players could enter the Abjuration Tower after completing the Light Puzzle in Crown of the Magister but the quest would not update, preventing them from rightfully kicking Razan in the shins.
  
• Fixed an issue in Multiplayer where quickly spamming the Finish button while leveling up would allow for a level up without selecting a subclass, depriving the serial clicker from any future class features.

• The host can now adjust custom difficulty settings and gameplay settings while in Multiplayer.
  
• Fixed Rugan being able to get stuck in the swamp. Rugan no longer joins your party now, he will rejoin his friends immediately upon being freed. Save files with Rugan being stuck will remove him from the party and complete the quest upon loading.
  
• Hopefully fixed Giants in the camp suddenly becoming hostile when you entered their camp after doing their questline. If not, please send us your save file.
  
• The quest Shallow Grave no longer gets stuck if the party kills Charmer before validating the quest "Find Charmer".

• The quest The Prisoners will now fail if one of the prisoners die during the quest.

• Fixed an error that could occur in the Noren Outpost during the Jungle Escort quest

• Fixed Coordinated Defense being usable an infinite amount of time

• In Crown of the Magister, using invisibility in the Necropolis of Cradle of Fire when meeting Laethar to bypass the fight and exit the zone will break the quest flow and prevent the main story from continuing.
  
• In the Shallow Grave quest, if the player chooses to report Charmer, the quest will not tell you to go back to talk to Sima - making it look like the quest is blocked (but it's not, don't be shy just go talk to Sima). The Rebel Outpost Quest will now start, although the Shallow Grave quest will still appear incomplete.
  
• In the Shallow Grave quest, if the player chooses to attack Charmer while Rugan is still in his cell, he will join the fight against you. Why, we're not too sure, maybe Charmer is his buddy or something. Anyway, if you want to avoid that you will need to finish A Giant Step quest before attacking Charmer.
  
• In the Shallow Grave quest, the option to incriminate Charmer can be missing. In this case, the only option to proceed forward is to kill him (at least until we fix it). Good lord this Shallow Grave quest got the short end of the stick.
  
• If you decide to recruit Sitenero, the quest "Escort the Prisoners" is blocked and The People questline can no longer be progressed. The only options to finish Lost Valley are either by force by confronting the Redeemers or to kill Orenetis to get his scepter.
  
• In Multiplayer, the game sometimes freezes when fast travel fails because of one character is busy.
  
• Dominion's soldiers may randomly appear in outposts. They didn't get the memo.

Hi there everyone!

Thanks for your patience, the live version of this Beta patch is planned for release very soon! After hundreds of bug fixes and small polishes, countless hours of testing to make sure new problems weren't popping up by solving old ones... We're banking on patch 1.3.53 to be the chosen one! The patch that will free everyone from losing their friendly giant in the swamps, having unfriendly guards prevent the party from leaving the city or getting locked into an infinite battle because a cowardly enemy locked themself into an adjacent room.

For safety reasons we're releasing patch 1.3.53 a little earlier on the Beta Branch (risky_beta) while we do some final checks internally before rolling it out on default for everyone else (including our friends over at GoG and Game Pass). That said, it's available now for those who want to jump in immediately to try it out!

• If you want to opt-in to this 1.3.53 Beta, you need to go to the BETAS tab and switch to risky_beta. If you're not seeing the branch, simply restart Steam.
  
• Saves made in 1.3.53 Beta will NOT work if you go back to the Default branch (not until the 1.3.5x update goes live on the default branch), so do NOT overwrite your existing save files, only make new ones.
  
• As usual, Multiplayer only works with players on the same branch - meaning if you are on the Beta branch, you can only play with people on the Beta branch.
  
• The Beta Branch is only available on Steam as maintaining multiple builds on multiple platforms is very time consuming, and we prefer using said time on testing / fixing more bugs.

• Added a party stash in Caer Hyfryd for the party to stash their loot, for all you hoarders out there.
  
• Fixed the Reconnaissance quest (Mask faction) not being completable if the Meeting the Rebellion quest (Forge faction) was completed beforehand.
  
• Fixed the Mutant Giant Ape in Lost Temple's treasure room not dropping its head upon being killed (Quest item). Look, the head just... it never was there OK? I'm the DM, this was a rare breed of headless Mutant Giant Ape.

• Fixed The Last Endeavor quest failing upon starting a fight with Sitenero
  
• Fixed Orenetis not giving his scepter to the party after completing the Major Gate quest. You've been bamboozled.

• Fixed a freeze that would occur if the battle started by using a proxy spell such as Call Lightning. Monster dum dum no understand why lightning hurts them, so monster freeze game.

Hey there folks,

Apologies for the wait, the 1.3.52 Beta is now finally availabe. Wait, wait. Before you rejoice, we want to remind everyone that you should only switch to the beta branch if your run is currently blocked - for example, Rugan the friendly giant being stuck gallivanting in the swamps. Why is that? Well, the reason it is taking so long to get the 1.3.52 out of the gates is because it has a LOT of changes. And as you know it, any time you make a change something else can break - which in turn adds to the time required to properly QA everything.

This is why 1.3.52 is currently in the Beta Branch - because we have not had the time to properly check everything quite yet, and so we cannot be 100% certain that something else hasn't broken in a dark corner of Lost Valley or even Crown of the Magister. On top of that, because 1.3.52 is not a hotfix but an update, saves won't be retro-compatible - meaning if you make a save on the Beta Branch, you won't be able to load it on the current regular 1.3.47 main branch (of course that won't be a problem once the update hits the main branch, but just know that you can't jump back and forth nilly willy between the beta and the main branch for this particular 1.3.52 version). Long story short: If you go on the beta branch, DO NOT OVERWRITE SAVE FILES from your current run in case you want to go back to the 1.3.47 version.

• Beta participation has been reset, everyone is back on the Default branch. If you want to opt-in to this 1.3.52 Beta, you need to go to the BETAS tab and switch to risky_beta again. If you're not seeing the branch, simply restart Steam.
  
• Saves made in 1.3.52 Beta will NOT work if you go back to the Default branch (not until the 1.3.5x update goes live on the default branch), so do NOT overwrite your existing save files, only make new ones.
  
• 1.3.52 Beta has not been completely QA'd yet, meaning random things might be broken. Still, we are releasing it in the Beta branch so people who are stuck can continue their playthrough.
  
• As usual, Multiplayer only works with players on the same branch - meaning if you are on the Beta branch, you can only play with people on the Beta branch.
  
• The Beta Branch is only available on Steam as maintaining multiple builds on multiple platforms is very time consuming, and we prefer using said time on testing / fixing more bugs.

• Fixed even more desyncs - keep the save files coming, it helps us a lot in finding the sources of desyncs.
  
• The host can now adjust custom difficulty settings and gameplay settings while in Multiplayer.
  
• Fixed Rugan being able to get stuck in the swamp. Rugan no longer joins your party now, he will rejoin his friends immediately upon being freed. Save files with Rugan being stuck will remove him from the party and complete the quest upon loading.
  
• Fixed - for real this time - Giants in the camp suddenly becoming hostile when you entered their camp after doing their questline. Just kidding some people are still getting whammed by angry Giants. Someone in the design team has some explaining to do.
  
• The quest Shallow Grave no longer gets stuck if the party kills Charmer before validating the quest "Find Charmer".
  
• Wolves, Spirit Wolves and Shapeshifted Wolves should now be able to climb and jump again.
  
• Quality of Life: Added a boatload of crafting ingredients in most shops.
  
• The quest The Prisoners will now fail if one of the prisoners die during the quest.
  
• Added a warning when a player with mods join a Multiplayer lobby. Many desync errors we receive are due to players having mods installed
  
• Added many new assets to the Dungeon Maker
  
• Fixed a spawning issue that could happen if the party entered an outpost, left without attacking it and then came back after leveling up several times.
  
• The People's headquarters' doors are now unlocked if a fight triggers while inside the building.
  
• Fixed a 2nd fight immediately starting upon rescuing Reya and teleporting to the People's headquarters.
  
• Fixed an issue where the party could get stuck if they left the Complex before talking to Sitenero, and then came back to talk to him later.
  
• Rebellion's first quest now properly fails upon start if the party killed Sima before taking the quest.
  
• Fixed being able to use a ladder in Complex while in battle to change location, breaking the game.
  
• Fixed Borrowed Luck being able to trigger all the time.
  
• Fixed the party not being able to talk to Renno in the quest The Last Endeavor
  
• Fixed the endgame cutscene not properly triggering in some conditions
  
• Hopefully fixed an issue that could prevent a Multiplayer game from starting if a player's computer clock was not displaying the right time (yes, that happened more often than you would think).
  
• Fixed an unwinnable fight that could trigger if an AoE spell remained in the cavern when leaving the tutorial area.
  
• Fixed Finaliel's Lab doors being closed when battling Orenetis

• Fixed Iron Golem missing Fire Absorption and Poison Breath recharging on 5-6 instead of 6.
  
• Fixed Life Drain not working properly
  
• Fixed dialogs playing too fast in Dungeon Maker cutscenes
  
• Fixed Custom Campaigns being tagged as "Steam Workshop" for their creator (and thus become impossible to edit) after being played in Multiplayer.
  
• Mac versions will now have Volumetric Lighting disabled by default, as many Mac configurations seem to have issues with Volumetric Lighting causing visual artifacts to appear on screen.

• Fixed Aura of Righteousness not applying its bonus to magical attacks
  
• Fixed not being able to enter the area covered by Vengeful Spirit
  
• Fixed Coordinated Defense being usable an infinite amount of time

• Monsters with Legendary Actions will skip their turn in Multiplayer
  
• If the party leaves Dinas Gessa before finishing the quest Primal Threat by talking to Ellaria, that quest becomes stuck and they can no longer progress with the Rebellion faction.
  
• If you did not talk to Orenetis the 1st time you entered the city, it is possible that the next time you enter the city there will be no Exit Area, thus locking you in (no work-around)

• Fixed a very large desynchronization issue that would occur with spells, items or magic effects that affect ability score checks. The #1 offender was the magic item "Stone of Good Luck", and spells such as Guidance, Bless and Bane.
  
• Fixed a desynchronization that occurred when you open a monster details in the bestiary

• If you get "Error loading: Could not recover the necessary multiplayer information from other players" when trying to launch the campaign in Multiplayer, make sure your computer's clock is showing the proper time. If it's not synchronized properly with real time, the security token generated may be invalid, thus locking you out of playing online. This error can also happen if your anti-virus or internet security is blocking the files transfer
  
• Unless you are on the Beta Branch 1.3.48, the giants will turn hostile when you enter their camp
  
• If the exit area disappears when you are in the city, you can still leave by opening the map and fast traveling to the exit, that should automatically get you back to the World Map.
  
  
• If you free Rugan the Giant in the Swamps, do not attempt to explore the area with him in your party. You need to leave the Swamps immediately with him, otherwise he can get permanently stuck - for example, if you manage to teleport into the Spider Cave with him (no solution outside reloading an older save).
  
• Please see the screenshots below if you're confused as to how to guide Rugan outside the swamps.

• Right click Solasta in your Steam Library
  
• Click Properties
  
• Go to BETAS tab
  
• Select betabranch in the list
  
• Click OK
  
• The update should download now
  
• To go back to the main branch, just do the same and select "None" in the list.
  
• Reminder: Players on the Beta Branch can only play with other players on the Beta branch, so make sure people you play with also switch to the Beta Branch!
  
• Changelog: The giants in 1.3.48 should no longer be hostile if you enter their camp, unless you saved inside the cave and exit directly in their camp (workaround: leave the cave through the other exit, which leads you next to the Forge Outpost)

Note: We are working on a large update to fix most of the issues brought up during the last week, such as Rugan getting stuck in the swamps or some NPCs not continuing their quest properly. Hopefully we can roll it out on the Beta Branch later this week for people who are having these issues.

Heya folks,

Quick 1.3.48 update on the Beta Branch to fix the giants being hostile when you enter their camp after doing their quest. We're still working on a fix for Rugan getting stuck in the swamp, that should come next week.

Note: If your save file is in the Verdant Valley Cave, the giants will be hostile if you exit from their camp (since that fix is not retroactive if you're already in combat or inside that cave). Simply leave the cave through the other exit (which takes you not far away from the Forge Outpost).

- Right click Solasta in your Steam Library
- Click Properties
- Go to BETAS tab
- Select betabranch in the list
- Click OK
- The update should download now
- To go back to the main branch, just do the same and select "None" in the list.

• Some players told us they sometimes don't have an exit area in the city to return to the World Map. You can bypass that problem by opening the map and fast traveling to the exit, that should automatically get you back to the World Map.
  
  
• If you free Rugan the Giant in the Swamps, do not attempt to explore the area with him in your party. You need to leave the Swamps immediately with him, otherwise he can get permanently stuck - for example, if you manage to teleport into the Spider Cave with him (no solution outside reloading an older save). This fix is not in the Beta Branch 1.3.47 patch as it has more potential ramifications, but we expect a fix to be coming next week (which should also fix the save files where the Giant is currently stuck).
  
• Please see the screenshots below if you're confused as to how to guide Rugan outside the swamps.

Hi there folks!

As always after a release, we're working tirelessly to bring you hotfixes to squash 'em pesky bugs. Some may take a bit more time than others, so please make sure you read the known issues well!

• We just found a source of frequent desynchronization which we fixed on the Beta Branch 1.3.47. This version has not been thoroughly tested yet, which is why we're only releasing it on the Beta Branch and not for everyone - but if you're playing with friends we heavily advise you all switch to the Beta Branch for a more stable experience.
  
• Reminder: Players on the Beta Branch can only play with other players on the Beta branch, so make sure people you play with also switch to the Beta Branch!
  
• If you don't switch to the Beta Branch, here is what is causing most of the desynchronizations: Having any spells, items or magic effects that affect ability score checks. The #1 offender being the magic item "Stone of Good Luck", or spells such as Guidance, Bless and Bane - please make sure to unequip the Stone of Good Luck and avoid using spells like Guidance, Bless and Bane if you are not on the beta branch
  
• There is also a desynchronization if you open a monster details in the bestiary, although that is more rare (also fixed in the Beta Branch).

- Right click Solasta in your Steam Library
- Click Properties
- Go to BETAS tab
- Select betabranch in the list
- Click OK
- The update should download now
- To go back to the main branch, just do the same and select "None" in the list.

• We've just received reports that Giants turn hostile if you enter their camp now. Please do not enter the Giant Camp until we fix it or you might get murderized!
  
• Some players told us they sometimes don't have an exit area in the city to return to the World Map. You can bypass that problem by opening the map and fast traveling to the exit, that should automatically get you back to the World Map.
  
  
• If you free Rugan the Giant in the Swamps, do not attempt to explore the area with him in your party. You need to leave the Swamps immediately with him, otherwise he can get permanently stuck - for example, if you manage to teleport into the Spider Cave with him (no solution outside reloading an older save). This fix is not in the Beta Branch 1.3.47 patch as it has more potential ramifications, but we expect a fix to be coming next week (which should also fix the save files where the Giant is currently stuck).
  
• Please see the screenshots below if you're confused as to how to guide Rugan outside the swamps.

• Multiplayer: You can now select a different region when hosting a multiplayer lobby (instead of the game selecting the nearest server for you)
  
• Dungeon Maker: Removed the "Lost Valley" restriction on a couple of assets that were already available before the launch of the DLC, which made some existing custom dungeons impossible to edit without buying Lost Valley. If you still run into this issue, please contact us on Discord directly with your Dungeon attached.
  
• Made some optimization to Verdant Valley performance (it will still slow down if you use a Torch or another Light effect in some parts for now).
  
• Fixed a hidden achievement not being unlocked properly.
  
• Fixed selecting "auto" for meta-magic, feats and languages during level up sometimes not working properly
  
• Fixed another few desynchronizations (aside from those mentioned above in the known issues)
  
• Fixed pinging a dialog NPC or merchant in multiplayer yeeting the pin in outer space.
  
• Fixed the known issue of the end game cutscene not fully playing properly, except for one particular case (finishing the People Faction but you decide to kill important NPCs at the end)
  
• Fixed a few cases with the known issue of recruiting the key NPC (prisoner) too early in-game making the game go wild.
  
• Fixed the known issue where one guard was locked inside a room during a boss battle, the door will now unlock when the battle starts
  
• Fixed an issue where leaving the tutorial cavern while having an AoE spell active (like Fog Cloud) would lock the game.
  
• Fixed a few issues with quests related to Reya.

Hey there folks!

Before we start, a VERY IMPORTANT message: Do NOT download the Beta Branch if you can launch multiplayer sessions without issues. Players on the Beta Branch can only play with other players on the Beta Branch - and not any other player - so we're rolling this out specifically for users who can't play in Multiplayer due to their region setting, which gets them "Sorry, photon cloud is currently not available". Also, this beta branch is PC only (not Mac)

If you're having issues running on the beta branch, please revert to the main branch. The update will be released on default once fully tested next week, so don't worry about it! Also, reminder for those who are having issues in general: Make sure you remove your outdated mods and do not use previously modded characters and/or saves!

- Right click Solasta in your Steam Library
- Click Properties
- Go to BETAS tab
- Select betabranch in the list
- Click OK

• [Environments] Added 4 new environments from Lost Valley: Jungle, Swamp, Valley City & Valley Palace
• [Monsters] Added new monsters from Lost Valley, such as Golems, Hags, Dryads etc...

• You remember the one time that unlit torch on the wall succeeded its Dex Saving Throw against your Sacred Flame? Yea that's no longer possible, gadgets will now always fail their saving throw.
• +1 and +2 versions of mauls, spears and crossbows are available at last! Now our dwarven weaponsmith will finally be able to go back to see their family.
• Added Conjure Fey to the list of available spells. More creatures to summon! That couldn't possibly go wrong.

• Added a Wand of Identify that costs 500 GP for those poor parties of adventurers who don't have access to this all so important spell.

• Fixed Druids not being granted Quest XP if they were in Wildshape form. I mean to be fair, how were the quest givers supposed to know they had to give a share of experience to that weird bear accompanying the party? 
• Polished the jump and climb animations of Druids when in Bear form, which looked a little wonky.
• Removed non-functional Eyebite scrolls from the game, and fixed the name of True Seeing, Freezing Sphere and Circle of Death scrolls.
• Some monsters had wrong attack modifiers / AC and other values when compared with their attributes. Those little cheaters. Fixed.
• Fixed some weapons not being properly oriented when held in characters' left hand. 
• Wall of Thorns now properly deal slashing damage instead of piercing damage. Why? BECAUSE THAT'S IN THE BOOK, THAT'S WHY.
• Fixed the crafting panel not showing everything properly when multiple items finished crafting at the same time.
• Soraks and Werewolves now properly get disadvantage on their saves against Moonbeam. Because that's what the spell's good against. Shapeshifters. 
• Fixed Kindred Spirit's stats being based on the Druid's animal form if summoned while Wildshaped.
• Spike Growth no longer affect flying creatures. Because everyone knows Flying-type creatures are immune to Ground Attacks.
• Fixed Brutal Critical not using the versatile damage die when relevant. 
• Fixed conjured creatures sometimes appearing as "Unknown" because their own caster was too dumb to know what they summoned.
• Accidently dragging and dropping an item to the same slot it was already in no longer consumes your action.
• Elves and Half-Elves just remembered that Hypnotic Pattern is considered a Charm Effect and that they should have advantage to saves against that spell.
• Action Surge can no longer be used when incapacitated as the only thing it allowed you to do was twice the amount of nothing. 
• The DM has started to keep track of magic item charges, players can thus no longer keep using magic items while out of charges.
• After re-reading the rules for the hundredth time, the DM also realized that using a spell scroll should prevent the caster to cast a bonus action spell in the same turn. No cheating!
• Multiple damage resistances / damage vulnerabilities of the same type no longer stack.
• Cancelling a proxy action with the Escape Key will now correctly refund the action.
• Fixed Uncanny Accuracy sometimes not working properly for Ranged Weapons and Ranged Magic Attacks.
• Wand of Winter now correctly casts Ice Storm instead of Blight and Wand of Blight now correctly casts Blight instead of Ice Storm. 
• Flaming Sphere now correctly gets upcasted when casted by a Shock Arcanist
• Fixed some high level features / spells such as Volley or Eyebite not triggering battles when used on unsuspected enemies. What was that? Must have been the wind. 
• Fixed Barbarian's rage resistance not correctly working against magical slashing, bludgeoning and piercing damage. 
• Fixed Protection from Evil which was working regardless of the enemy creature type. Should have been named Protection from Pretty Much Everything.
• Fixed Calm Emotion not working properly on allies.
• Fixed pre-made Barbarian Preka somehow possessing the Protection Fighting Style. This change only applies if you delete your existing Preka character file from the folder though.
• Fixed Ogres throwing their mace instead of their javelins. I mean granted Ogres are stupid, but not THAT stupid.
• Fixed Hunter's Mark working with Magic Missile, turning any enemy into swiss cheese.
• Fixed Detect Magic not properly requiring Concentration.
• Fixed Arcane Fury not being properly applied to Sunbeam.
• Fixed Staff of Healing not granting the caster ability bonus that it should.
• Fixed Pendant of the Healer being permanently stuck at zero charge. Surprisingly the players did not find this as funny as the DM did. 
• Fixed concentration spells breaking when Druids would lose their Wildshape form.
• Fixed Wildshaped Druids sometimes become completely undetectable by enemies when stealth.
• Fixed Magic Weapon being able to target magical weapons, which did absolutely NOTHING. YOU LOSE. GOOD DAY SIR!
• Fixed any buff / debuff being instantly dispelled the moment the party entered the world map, instead of running its normal duration.
• Fixed Scrolls sometimes not being usable by casters even though they were part of their domain / oath spell list.
• Goodberries can no longer be cast on the world map if the casting conditions aren't met (such as not having a focus equipped) 
• Fixed Preserve Life being able to target creatures above 50% HP even though it only worked on creatures below 50% HP
• Fixed being able to cast Levitate or Fly on already flying creatures.
• Fixed grapple characters sometimes not being released from the grapple even after the creature's death. Damn those Remorhaz have strong jaws.
• Fixed Chain Lightning not prioritizing enemies when seeking additional targets. Melee classes rejoice.
• Fixed moving an enemy up or down with Levitate being a free action, leading to very fun tactics such as the "Deep Fryer" where the caster would repeatedly dunk an enemy in and out of damaging area spells such as Wall of Thorns. 
• Fixed a few cases where an enemy would freeze in combat for several seconds before starting to act again. 
• Fixed... oh lord that one is pretty bad. Fixed the Surprise System in the World Map being inverted. Basically what used to happen is that if your party rolled better than the monsters, you would end up surprised instead - and vice-versa, monsters would end up surprised if they rolled better than the party. This is why late game when your party's perception score became higher and higher you would end up getting surprised more and more often - even more if you were traveling at a slow pace. 
• Fixed a few cases where enemies would run back and forth like headless cockatrices 
• Fixed dwarves holding crossbows wrong. Don't ask me why, apparently they just didn't know how to properly hold their crossbow. Must have skipped crossbow holding classes.
• Removed Large Monster repellent from stairs which made Large Monsters unable to walk up and down stairs in the past
• Creatures will now play their idle animation after their emote in the bestiary to avoid excessive movement while looking at their stats.
• Unconscious characters no longer have the right to roll perception against characters in stealth.
• Fixed Berserkers being permanently in Reckless mode. Yes they be angry, but everyone needs to chill out from time to time.

• Fixed Druids and Sorcerers previously not being able to use Wand of Lightning Bolt
• Fixed Spiritual Weapon action remaining visible even after being used during the turn.

• Fixed Heroism being able to target enemies.
• Fixed the Dodge button sometimes remaining visible even after being used.
• Fixed Black Tentacles previously not requiring concentration.
• Fixed Guiding Bolt not showing any visible light on the target, even though it provides dim light. 
• Fixed a rare freeze that could happen if a character that is already dying receives more than their max HP in damage in a single strike.
• Fixed an exploit where Paladins could use an infinite amount of level 1 slots for free smites. You get a smite! And you get a smite! Everyone gets a smite!
• Fixed Protection from Energy lasting 24h instead of a single hour.
• Fixed casting spells from scrolls sometimes not taking into account the caster's spellcasting attribute. 
• Fixed being able to kill your computer when casting multiple unoptimized Faerie Fire. Since Revivify don't work on computers, we decided to optimize Faerie Fire instead.
• Fixed not being able to cast Acid Splash on adjacent enemies if one of them is large.
• Fixed not being able to mark Brightwall Shield as a focus
• Fixed being able to interact with invisible statues during a certain fight which may or may not involve a dragon in CotM

• Shapeshifting / Cancelling Shapeshift while levitating or flying will cause the game to hang up in Multiplayer
• There's an exploit where you can recruit a key character (a prisoner) too early during the DLC campaign, which makes the game go a little banana if it happens.
