"Kill the Patriarch" Achievement still doesn't unlock.

Edit: "I Hold Everything!" doesn't work either, seems like i cant unlock the "Armor Pierce" Perk, i have every perk except that one.

Please try refund your Perk tokens and re-assign them.

Regarding the achievement, we will fix it shortly if that's the case. Since our overhaul of the game is now complete we can way faster fix things forward on with faster patches. We will take all feedback during the weekend and sit down next week with it.

Enemies seem to be visually disappearing after being hit by the black hole (they reappear at some point after, but they do keep moving)

Sound is kinda buggy... I don't know if it's the quality (sounds really scratchy, like it's gonna kill my speakers) and it kinda keeps going even after you finish the level).

That's all I've found so far regarding bugs... I'll post more later.

I'm not super happy with the changes to some things, but meh, I'll get used to them.

One thing I'd like to know is: Should I just erase my save and start from zero? Because everything is unlocked, yet I have not enough tokens to unlock everything... Plus apparently some achievements won't activate if I understand correctly...

We'll look at this Jacowboy. We changed audio to use a new audio library called IrrKlang with the patch and it's been working fine for us. Did you try go into options and move the sliders?

Regarding the black hole, that's the new way it works. The black hole basically sucks enemies up into the void and puts them back after a while.

With the new Perk system you can't "unlock everything" and it's intentional. We wanted a system where you have to plan more strategically in how you spec.

No, I mean they disappear visually after the black hole effect is over... I don't mean while the black hole is on the screen.

Also, the achievements are apparently still wonky for me. For example, "Boom Baby" and "Electrifying"... I unlocked each once, but they didn't register in steam (outside of the game) even though they did register within the game... So I had to exit the game, re-launch, AND re-do them for them to properly register... That was the case for those two, and the one where you kill a walker with an anti-air tower (forgot the name)... those I've tried so far.

I don't know if this might be because of the save file, or something else... But I'm putting it in here, in case it's happening to other people =)

Were the leaderboards cleared after the overhaul?

[CHARK]

Jacowboy, ok that's a bug definitely. We will look at it!

Migz - no, good point, we will need to reset them for sure!

Good deal. :-)

[Jacowboy]

Oh and about the "Perky" achievement... I don't see it in the in-game achievement screen... and it's also not registering in steam... =P

Edit: I'm sorry for the spam, but I'm posting things as I find them =)

Edit2: What is the maximum number of token one can get for perks, btw?

[Dr. Retardo]

The Huge Walker is on Arc right ? If thats the case the achievement also doenst work. I reset my save and played until that level so far.
