Pre-Order: Eternal Horizons on Bandcamp Pre-Order: Into the North on Bandcamp

There is also a very generous full dicography bundle if you want to get all soundtracks at once. Of course all albums will be available on all major music streaming platforms on release day.

This patch fixes the reported crashes when having an attack replacer skill active and trying to pick up a new weapon. This bug wasn't straight forward to fix as it had some further hidden issues related to the recently introduced new scene management system.

[h3]Bugfixes:[/h3]

• Fixed occuring crashes when picking up a new melee weapon when you had an attack replacer skill active (like cyclic might, melee constructs, ...)
  
• Fixed a bug that caused wrong attack animations to be activated when switching between different attack replacer skill nodes
  
• Fixed skill effects not being correctly activated when switching weapons, activating skill nodes or changing embedded legendary skill effects on your weapons
