Hello everyone,

We're taking early access as an opportunity to try out new things, but at the same time we obviously don't want to frustrate our community when it comes to general balancing, which is why we are releasing this hotfix. We want to fix the most pressing issues - specifically the economy, the longevity of certain surfaces and the removal of some control spells from the early enemies.

Don't worry, your savegames are totally compatible!

Balancing and design changes

• Prices for items have been lowered
  
• Some early-level containers now have a higher chance to contain armor
  
• Electrified surfaces and ice surfaces disappear after 3 turns
  
• Enemies now have a small chance of dropping a gem or other precious item
  
• AI does not use Sucker Punch at the early levels of the game anymore
  
• Some traders in Fort Joy will now offer more cloth armor

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue with general story progression
  
• Fixed a crash introduced in patch 3.0.31.292. Was caught by players using feedback tool. Related to committing a crime.

Enjoy the hotfix. If you thought nothing was wrong anyway, you're probably going to enjoy Tactician mode in the full game :)

Cheers,

David

Big Bear Hugs to everyone who took part in the Linux Beta!

In spite of the very short duration, your efforts has helped us big time! Especially with that super ugly crash right after game launch on some systems (why the hell do some linux archs handle commas in xml files differently...)

Anyways - we haven't been able to catch all bugs you reported, but the list has grown a lot smaller and most of those big issues like freezes & crashes have been resolved. So we're going to release tomorrow as planned!

This concludes our beta phase. Everyone who has provided us with feedback will soon receive a private message along with a little thank you gift attached!

Ah... and please tell your friends that the Xbox One version is out for pre-order since yesterday! YAY!
