So is this just the editor and nothing else or are they throwing in some bug fixes also?

I'd love to know too, but all saves are incompatible for me and the load game screen looked different.

Well, this just in from Steam:

There is a lot of polish and bug fixing in the update of the game, but there are also a few last features that have been activated. Expect to find henchman in the hall of echoes as well as a few other surprises.

No detailed changelist today as we're hard at work on finishing up the game, but we expect you'll see the things that have changed almost right away.

Still downloading on my end. I liken it to the feeling Darth Sidius has when he feels the power of the dark side flowing off of another.

Lar said Valve is working on fixing whatever is causing the editor not to show. Might be awhile.

One change I noticed, when creating a new profile you are now given the chance to enter a kickstarter code.

Edit: obviously those don't exist yet.

I have noticed one issue with the orc battle before reaching Cyseal: if the PCs have moved close enough to the battlefield, the orcs arriving on the ship will see them immediately upon landing on the beach and engage combat - in which case the three guards and the lone orc already present to the east, who normally get involved in the fight, will not become part of it, leaving just the two PCs to handle the entire orc party on their own.

Just move over to the guards, they then engage.

No official patch notes, but here's what I've noticed so far:

  • New background for the Options screen
  • Some additional portraits and hairstyles in character creation.
  • New Cursors
  • Option to completely disable global chat. It hides the tab and everything. (This will become mandatory for your first playthrough if you want to avoid spoilers)
  • New "Keys" tab in the inventory.
  • Kickstarter backers (at least at the appropriate tier) now start out with the "Golden Grail" item in their inventory. It doesn't seem to do anything yet, though.
  • Source Hunter's Manual now has some actual text, not just placeholder stuff.
  • New sound cues.
  • Prettier effects
  • [Fixed] CTRL + Mousever didn't show stats.
  • Autosave at the start of the Tutorial dungeon.
  • New options for LAN and Direct IP Connect.


And this was all before reaching the bridge.

Dang I got halfway through the starter dungeon and didn't notice much, but I haven't been playing a whole lot since I'm waiting for full release before really getting into it.

I did note a few more character customization options. Also the background noises/sound is really loud and sounding weird, with echos or something. Can't seem to get it to stop.

On the character portrait I wish it would just change to look like the character I'm designing. Just use that face, that skin color, that hair and hair color and there ... now it's a perfect match. Heck Dragon Age Origins did this years ago.
