Patchnotes CM-Patch v0160 (December 2017)

General

  • Starting Island Portal is enabled in singleplayer.
  • Ship Ports and Hot Air Balloons now work like Portals. After activation, they may be accessed from the world map at any time or place.
  • New "Travel Agent" NPC's added in 20 locations. These NPC's use the ship captain icon and will unlock new "portals" through which to travel.
  • The player can now teleport to underground soulstones when above ground.
  • Mounts can now be called into dungeons and underground areas (player must still dismount when entering\leaving dungeons due to code limitations).
  • Run Speed (non-functioning bonus) on Horses is replaced with a Physical Armor bonus.
  • Player no longer gets stuck running around in circles when trying to mount Horses and Special Mounts.
  • Player no longer loses control of the camera during boss battles (no more centering on the boss and extreme zoom out).
  • Stackable items have max stack size increased from 20 to 99. Runes are now stackable. Items already in inventory before patching must be dropped and picked up again to benefit from this change.
  • Autocollect pickup range increased. To make the graphical circle match the new coded pickup radius, change the line "autoCollectRadius" to a value of "230" in options.txt (not required, but recommended).
  • The player can now use the "ESC" key as an additional quicksave hotkey (in addition to the usual quicksave key). Requires editing options.txt.
  • Sources of "Experience per Kill" on items, potions, statues, and spells now stack instead of overriding one another.
  • All binaries patched to circumvent the game's memory leak problem and improve resource loading. Crashing and freezing should be dramatically reduced.
  • PhysX performance has been enhanced. Should no longer cause performance loss and CTD's.
  • Elite Mounts Project is fully integrated. New mount vendor is in the Jungle Temple of the Gods.
  • Fixed an Inquisition temple model that had gaps where the mesh pieces didn't fit together right.

  • Tornado and Gust of Wind are no longer called "Whirlwind" and "Flurry" in the rune exchange window.
  • Master of the Hunt quest: Corrected mention of the city "Grurag-Orc" to the actual name of the city, Entruag.
