Boons & Burdens News

I'm working on addressing two game-breaking bugs that can happen in rare instances, but have not yet been able to replicate on the current builds. I've identified some potentially problematic areas, and changed how certain things work, but only time will tell.

Though I hope the issues are fixed, If you continue to encounter these bugs, please let me know in the bug reporting forum thread. If you can take a screenshot of your current inventory, and let me know what controls you're using, it will likely help.

• Made changes to prevent an issue where players using mouse controls could select a Burden only for it to not activate, and get stuck in the following level
  
• Made some changes to the Infested Pyromancer boss to prevent him from running away off screen, never to return.
  

Wanted to take it slower, but didn't want these achievement issues to affect too many people since they can't be reset without creating a whole slew of new headaches.

• 7 Minutes in Heaven will now only trigger when actually in battle. A bug was causing it to check the round timer before a game mode was selected.
  
• Deuce Ex Machina can no longer be achieved by using your theurgic 3 times in the main hub area
  
• The Portal Dancer and High Five achievements should no longer be able to trigger while in the Burden menu
  
• The Trophy Hunter achievement should now correctly activate when you open the Arcanacon Feats section after unlocking every other achievement.
  

• Updated a number of entries in the Arcanacon that were associated with incorrect objects. It should now be possible to unlock all Demons entries.
  

There's been a few other reports, and I'm looking into those. Going to slow down a bit now, and try to tackle as many at once as I can.

With a patch as massive as 1.00 was, I expected some bugs that I didn't find, but continuing to work through reports as they come in.

• Fixed a bug that could cause other boons to disable Spirit Egg prematurely
  
• Added some protections to hopefully prevent the Squllboar boss (tier 1, level 4) from soft locking in an invulnerable state in rare instances
  
• Fixed a bug with The Burden of Greed where if taken after certain other burdens would not count the gems you collect, soft locking the game
  
• Fixed a bug that could allow your total infernicite to go negative (but would show as 0 in the interface). If this bug previously affected you, your save file will be updated to be at 0 instead of whatever negative number it might have been.
  
• Made some changes to using the portal that might prevent users from getting stuck in the main menu (haven't been able to replicate this bug, so I'm only guessing on this one)
  
• A level up should no longer trigger in Arena if you die at exactly the same time as collecting enough experience.
  

Just a quick update to some text in the equipment menu. The Geomancer's charm had an incorrect Achievement name listed for the unlock.
