I'm very happy to release Purist Fixpack version 1.3!
Many thanks to all the diligent players who reported all the bugs since March. Also props to IdBeholdMe for doing some pre-release testing.
Some important notes:
There is now a "Disk Version Patch" included with the download. The patch should be installed after the main PFP, and only for players who use the disk version of Sacred 2. Digital versions do not require this patch. This will prevent the copyright protections from triggering and making the Dragon Mage unplayable.
For all players upgrading from v1.2, I recommend you wait until you are ready to progress to a new difficulty before upgrading to 1.3, otherwise you may end up with numerous quest hirelings that you cannot get rid of. Also, I regret to say that due to fixing the way inappropriate bonuses spawn on items, you will find that your normal/magic/rare items will have their bonuses re-rolled after upgrading to 1.3.
