Warhammer Underworlds - Shadespire Edition News

[h3]NOTE! Due to some changes in how we handle in game assets, this patch will be BIG! Expect a 7-8GB download and be sure to verify the integrity* of your files.[/h3]

Bug Fixes
+ Potential fix for randomly disappearing card art
+ Fixed render quality settings to fully utilise “high” quality render features
+ Added a “super low” render quality setting
+ Deadly Vengeance will only respond to attacks now (not ploys or lethal hexes), and no longer forces you to target only the attacker.
+ Enervating Beat’s effect will no longer stay around all match
+ Ready for Action will no longer cause matches to hang if the fighter’s only attack action with a target in range is a Storm of Celestus Greatbow that has already been used that round.
+ Strength of Sigmar should now stack properly with Great Strength
+ Following Objectives now properly work with Blue Horror deaths and track which fighters are out of action correctly; Great Purification, Pure Carnage, Dread Harvest (Righteous Banishment), Scythed Down, Death’s Bounty.

Known Issues
+ The ploy Lightning Flare prevents the objective Point Blank from scoring
+ Reports of Master of War and Victory after Victory not scoring sometimes (specifically in relation to some Surge objectives). If you encounter this in game, submit an in game bug report during that end phase and mention what Ploys, Upgrades and Objectives you played if possible.

Note: You should see 1.6.3 in-game once you have the update.

* This can be achieved by right-clicking the game in your library list, selecting Properties, then selecting the Local Files tab, followed by the Verify integrity of game files... button.
