Hello everyone!

Hello everyone!

A new patch 1.7.3 for Across the Obelisk is live now!

This patch is the second round of bug fixing for 1.7, and includes some minor balancing to issues that we felt needed addressing, like the speed of new enemies. We are looking forward to see if you feel this made the impact you were asking for and if not, we are certainly open to adjust things further in the future!

Important notes: Runs created in version 1.7.2 are not compatible with version 1.7.3.
There should be a new version 1.7.2 legacy branch available in the Betas section on Steam, for you to opt into, if you'd like to continue your previous runs.
As previously mentioned, patch-preview and 1.7.0-legacy branches are going to be taken down in 48 hours giving you some time to finish saves started on those builds.
Minor performance adjustments have been made. Lag should be slightly reduced overall.

[h2] Gameplay changes [/h2]

• Speeds of the fastest enemies released in Necropolis of the Damned have been adjusted.
  
• Scouts will have the option to select Spells with Deck of Judgement. This will only include Songs.
  
• The Whirlpool node in Faeborg (blue act) is now guaranteed to spawn.

[h2] Known Issues [/h2]

• The game lags when applying a very large number of auras or curses simultaneously. This issue is related to the way the game processes animations. While we are trying to reduce this as much as possible, there is no silver bullet solution for it as of this patch unfortunately.
