Intravenous 2 News

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

You can check out the upcoming 1.2.0 update by opting into the "mapeditor" BETA branch of the game at any time. Please keep in mind that savefiles made with new content will not work on the current stable 1.1.5 version of the game, and will crash when trying to load into savefiles with content that isn't available on the older version of the game.
Remember to report any issues you run into on the 1.2.0 BETA branch here and to the regular bug report thread if you're not playing on the 1.2.0 BETA branch.
