  • Tower Shield Durability 250 instead of 175, Weight 9.0 Instead of 10.0, Dmg/Hit 18 instead of 14.
  • Dragon Shield doing Burning instead of Burn.



[h3]Fixes:[/h3]

  • Runic Claymore will allow runic casting while active. 1h Runic Sword will not anymore. (They were inversed)
  • Added PT Serif font as fallback font for missing characters.

  • Fix bow not shooting issues encountered when emptying quiver, or when switching area when a projectile is still in the air.
  • Stack of items in Stash and various chest now correctly prompt the stack mover slider when trying to move the stack in inventory.
  • When applying settings, borderless won't refresh itself if the mode wasn't changed.
  • Fixed various typos.



Important note: Some of the changes to make the game run smoother is incompatible with mods. Go to your game properties and select the "default-mono" branch under the Beta tab to make mods active again. Note that some mods will still need to be updated to work on this version.
