[h3]Fixes:[/h3]

• Fixed round shaped maps not destroying projectiles on border collision. If you noticed a downgrade of performance in the smaller round shaped maps, this was the reason for this.
  
• Fixed wrong damage on tooltip for stone surge and stone toss skill nodes
  
• A fix for invalid moitor resolutions being loaded which was an issue for some dual monitor setups (v.1.0.4.1b2)
  
• Fixed wrong unlock description translation for character heleja (v.1.0.4.1c)

Update 1.0.4.1 focuses on performance improvements so that you can push the boundaries even further! More projectiles, more companions, more whatever should now be possible with overall better performance. If you nevertheless run into performance issues on very very very high waves just remember that there is a player effect transparency option that you can put to 100% to hide all effects.

[h3]Improvements:[/h3]

• Performance improvements for all projectiles.
  
• Performance improvements for all companions
  
• Improved object pooling system for improved performance
  
• Revert Shot rework for improved performance. It does the same but is more performant.
  

[h3]Balancing:[/h3]

• Grim Reaper Skill now has a reduced attack speed malus of -15% (was -20%)
  
• Baby Phoenix Skill now has a reduced attack speed malus of -15% (was -30%)
  

[h3]Fixes:[/h3]

• Fixed wrong map names for some translations in the unlock conditions

[h3]Improvements:[/h3]

• The uncollected and stashed light fragments counter now starts with the fragment count from previous wave and counts up to the new stashed light fragment count to prevent confusion.
  
  Previously if you had 6 stashed light fragments on last wave and collected all light fragments beside 1 in the current wave the counter would still count from 0->7.
  
  With the new improvements the counter will count from 6->7 so you only see the difference animated. This hopefully should solve the confusion about the stashed light fragments and make it easier for new players to understand this system.
  
• Improvements for faster scene transitions (v.1.0.4.0g)
  

[h3]Fixes:[/h3]

• Fixes to the scene transition to fix occasional game freezes (v.1.0.4.0g)
