Various editor problems: http://larian.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=628308#Post628308

Any help in filling this list will be appreciated

1) In the editor, root templates folder organization is destroyed/now nonexistent, which is causing various editor issues.

2) The editor still does not correctly save edits made to Stats when saving via the main editor's "Save All" function. (it seems to merge changed stats with the stats before the changes; e.g., if a field had a number in it and it was erased, it would merge it and keep the number ontop of any other changes) However, I do not know if this was intended to be fixed this patch.

3) The stats for Equipment sets edited using the editor are now coded correctly and function as intended.

Just a few I've noticed that weren't above.

Did they test before deploying this patch? I feel they did not and just expected all the pushed fixes to work. )-:

Even after this patch I still can't talk/interact with Gwydian.

Can someone else confirm?

taunt is still weird

i used an incarnate to taunt migo and he still used battering ram on an ally. it's an aoe spell, technically, so i don't know if that's supposed to make any difference, but it specifically said he used it on that ally rather than the incarnate, which i don't think should be possible

Based on the description, this is BROKEN, because right now, you actually get ZERO xp in some circumstances.

• Fixed jump skill issue that allowed players to end up in unintended locations - unconfirmed

I can confirm that Warping was, unfortunately, removed. Which is a shame because I almost started speedrunning this game.

However, in light of this update Nether Swap seems to have been broken and is almost impossible to actually use now; and I'm not sure if these two things are related, but I've got a hunch.

Warping?


Nothing was changed about Netherswap.

Thanks everyone for your help! Updated first post!

I can confirm that you can't talk to Qana while she is petrified,but you can pickpocket her for some reason.
Also when you ressurect party members in fights vs magisters (in act 2),sometimes you can't auto-attack them without having the sword turn red (vilanous action?attacking the "law") and the magisters will also call your companions idiots for not being carefull with their spells,

Me, just saved him yesterday, but none of my party member can interact with him after he reunited with his families. I directly jumped into fight in that area without talking, but has triggered talking before he runs to his family.

update: if you taunt an enemy they are still able to run directly past you and use aoe spells like whirlwind on other companions. actually not seeing the use of this ability at all

I cannot confirm this yet, but there still a related bug here.

If you equip an item which contains a skill you know (and DO meet the requirements for) but which is not memorized currently, not only do you not receive the skill from the item, but the one in your skillbook temporarily vanishes.

If it is memorized, you still get to keep it.

If an addon with story scripts are targeted for both Story and GM, if you start a game, the character will be frozen after getting out of the bed on TUT_Tutorial_A level (the ship) and you won't be able to move or cast spells.

- Works confirmingly well for me.

[Quote] Improved Taunting in favour of the Taunter - unconfirmed [/Quote]

In several fights the AI still repositions themselfes to use AoE /crowd control on your whole team. For instance, after a taunt, a knight walked away from the taunter, got hit by an attack of opportunity and then used slam on my team (including the taunter, to be fair) knocking down one of my casters.

To be honest, the statement is pretty vague, but after this particular example it felt not favourable in any way to have applied the taunt. Imho there is still no reason to slot taunt.
