Magicka doesn't do things normally. Arrowhead Studios has released an update for the game, but the patch notes makes light of the minor irritations. Check out the full notes below: - Added some missing characters to certain fonts. Continuing our commitment to offering characters to all fonts everywhere. - Fixed a pathfinding crash. Took us a bit, but we found it. - Fixed disappearing boss Vlad. Turns out he was just at the bar up the street. - Fixed a crash when killing frozen Khan (and possibly other bosses). KHAAAAAAN! - Fixed camera issue when being revived by the fairy. Fairies weren’t previously aware of auto-focus. - Fixed NPC spellcaster AI sometimes freezing up. After taking some public speaking classes, though, the NPC finally warmed up. - Mobs are now able to spawn their own kind upon death. That sounds kinda gross, actually. - Added some new functionality to scene scripts. Scene scripts run. Run, scripts, run! - Reduced the physical damage resistance of Enraged Goblin Warlocks. Let’s face it, Warlocks sound all-powerful but they’re really just a bunch of pansies. - Fixed a localization crash. Que haya sido reparado. - Fixed a crash with the Performance Enchantment magick. Talk to your doctor first. - Fixed a crash that occurred when firing a water projectile during a level transition. That’ll show those pesky levels who’s boss around here. - Fixed an issue with collision checks that resulted in multiple fall damage. Large Hadron Collider consulted, collisions now in check. - Fixed certain lights being removed when restarting a scene. Disco disco, good good. - Fixed scores being inconsistent between client and host in challenges. Issues resolved with just a couple trust falls. - Fixed script delays being reset when restarting a challenge level. No more delays, the movie will finally be coming out soon. - Fixed element icons getting stuck highlighted when disabled (as in Elemental Roulette). Now if we could only get our car’s dome light to turn off. - Fixed a crash where players were gripped during level transition. Now they’ll just be gripped in anticipation, amirite?! - General stability improvements. A refreshing start to Friday! |
