Stéphane 2 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 New patch for PC versions very soon! The Patch 2.43 for the PC version will be available today after an extended lobby downtime. All the lobbies should be online again around 15:00 (CET) The Steam version may come a bit later. New Features: It is now possible to disable the camera shaking via an entry in the optionscustom.txt. The entry is: camera.cameraShake = 0 Bugfixes: The heroes do not point out insufficient armor against the wrong damage types anymore. Reflection damage from NPCs has been reduced. The Sakkara demon on the "Start Island" no longer attacks the player unless he has been attacked first. Gold and XP amounts will now be displayed using periods as the thousands separator. (For example 123.456.789.000) When fight music is disabled, the region music will continue to play during combat. The bonus "Chance to dismount opponent" has been removed. Blowpipes are now able to hit mounted creatures. Achievements will only be shown ingame and commented by the hero the first they are accomplished. The achievement "Group Hug" is now possible to accomplish. Other heroes in multiplayer game sessions are now less chatty. The patchnotes are not showing all the changes. One of the undocumented changes is the savegames compatibility preparation for the addon. Source : http://forum.sacredeng.ascaron-net.com/sho...4824#post594824 Link to comment

Scarecroww 0 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) The servers seems to be patched and done Now we just have to get our patch Edited July 20, 2009 by Scarecroww Link to comment
Timotheus 416 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Good to see a patch, hope the quest monster bugs have also been fixed. Hope I can play again sometime soon as well actually. Link to comment
Stéphane 2 Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 You should read the Ascaron Announcements and Events section : http://darkmatters.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=11658 Gogo> Requesting a merge Link to comment
Zinsho 0 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Gogo's at work, unless he has the day off. However... a merge is needed regardless. I'm just hoping it's not a huge huge patch file this time, they don't seem to be adding much feature wise so shouldn't be quite as big as the previous ones. Link to comment
Dobri 55 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I hope they just upload it soon, or my ideas of being 140 today will be just dust in the wind Link to comment
Barristan 14 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Heya, still no news, full chatbox though Greetz Link to comment
Viper007 0 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 What a pleasant surprise. I wasn't expecting another patch before the release of Ice and Blood. Yay! Link to comment
Putrescine 11 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 grr... almost 7 hours overdue, and nothing I'm going mental here *Runs around in circles* I hope whatever issue they're having is fixed soon... Phew... *Tired* I need another beer now... Link to comment
Zinsho 0 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 How is it overdue? They announced it today, but didn't specify when it'd be available for download. Overdue would be if it only showed up tomorrow. -chuckles- Link to comment
Spock 271 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 ... didn't specify when it'd be available for download. ... I thought the time was supposed to be 1500 CET? Link to comment
Putrescine 11 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Here "lobbies and servers should hopefully be back at 1pm CET." Here "The Patch 2.43 for the PC version will be available today after an extended lobby downtime. All the lobbies should be online again around 15:00 (CET)" Which basically means 3pm So I stand corrected. It's only 3 hours late, but still I am not the most patient of people Link to comment
Zinsho 0 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Around 1500 CET, of course around is quite vague, 7 hours is still around the right time when you consider how long it takes for the patches to come out (what's 12 hours more time when you're already at a few months afterall). Of course I was partly saying that just to tease him, I'm stuck at work so I don't mind just yet that it's not out, while he's antsy about it. Link to comment
Schot 407 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Woohoo! Group ! Thanx for the update Stéph! Link to comment

Dobri 55 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 THE PATCH IS OUT Just use your auto-update. It seems that it's not available online yet. Link to comment
claudius 104 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) Anyone with steam version able to patch...(I'll check back and edit as I do have steam version) Not sure if its a steam issue but the lobby has zero games to join and zero to create Oh well I got a SP game going.. Edited July 20, 2009 by claudius Link to comment
Viper007 0 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 * Rings and Amulets have all changed (mine are useless now) * Some people are missing all of their mentor potions. * I am getting about 10-20 more fps. The game seems to run much better for me. * It looks like they changed the drop rate of unique items. I just got 7 unique items in about 30 minutes of playing. * The bugged quest monsters were not fixed. Link to comment
Dobri 55 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Steam version users will have to wait for a while - at least that what anca said Link to comment
