Intravenous 2 News

Hey folks!

This release candidate fixes an issue reported in the map editor, and tweaks the experience gained in side-missions.

- side missions now provide double experience in skills when performing actions related to them

MAP EDITOR CHANGES
- fixed incorrect enemy counter in the "Mark NPCs: how many enemies are alive?" field of the neutralize_enemies and kill_enemies objective tasks

Hey folks!

This patch further moves the update along.
The BETA denominator has been dropped in favor of RC (Release Candidate). The update is now practically finished, and I am waiting for the localization to be finished before formally releasing it.

- fixed certain skills not being influenced by a level's experience gain multiplier
- fixed a very rare crash that could have occurred when finishing the game and loading into a level
- fixed a redundant gesture in one of the pieces of dialogue during Epilogue
