Since the release of the expansion, we have pushed over 120 updates here, resolving almost all mid- and high-priority issues, along with a number of low-priority ones.

The list stops here, and a new thread will be opened for Patch 6.4.0, which will bring some new content updates.

There is another bug, when the demon appears, it promps me to give him an item, but I cannot choose an answer. Cannot leave the discussion either - only option was to quit the game :

@Ninja85, thank you for reporting that. We are marking it as a high priority to investigate what could be causing this.

[ninja85]

if it helps: I think the answers showed up for a second before disappearing and being replaced by that red bar. Second time the demon showed up it worked as it should, without trouble.

How Svetovid god devotion works regarding passive mana regenaration?

I have saved the devotion points and pushed them in one go to Svetovid. But when I checked my mana regen by hovering mouse over mana orb at the bottom, mp/sec was not changed at all. Is this a bug?

By the way, this game is amazing. Keep up the good work.

[Kenshiro]

Hopefully this is the right place to post this, I found a typo when selecting a Devotion after clearing a shrine. Dajbog's option to buff a skill references the Defender class which should be the Guardian class. If there is another place to report issues please let me know! Keep up the great work - This game is so much fun!!

[lynxbird]

This is a good place. Thank you for reporting the typo, much appreciated.

Edit: Fixed with v6.2.7

I tested it and confirmed that it works.
Note that when it comes to regeneration, only whole numbers will appear in the UI (e.g., from 10 to 11, but not from 1 to 1.1).
Also, mana regeneration may depend on the current level of morale (the purple globe in the UI), so make sure that it was same when you compared.

Thanks for the great work.
Would it be possible to have some kind of sorting for containers like the boxes at our house?

[Galaturc]

The Rogue class tab has a typo: the "Kill and Run" is referred to as "Hit and Run" in its first upgrade description.

We have that QoL feature in the backlog, and it is higher on the priority list.

one more interesting but not critical bug is related to a training dummy .

I was playing beastbane/ blademaster / fortune build and was testing the bleed damage
which at some point got ridiculously high and it started to go minus . Like - 11111111111
and the character takes damage for some reason when it goes minus.

It was like I was hitting myself and almost died but hp didnt go lower than 1% although I was already saying goodbye to my character

If Veles was the god of blood I'm sure you would of gotten a lot of Favor

[Dark Sceptor]

When the player wishes to fast travel only raw food is looked at. Cooked foods are completely ignored.

[Dark Sceptor]

In my longest play I was on my second life. I never returned for the goods from my first death. When I died a second time I had a very precious bow and armor so I went retreiving. The first place was my first character. But after recovering the goods my quest to locate my second body was GONE. It was in the completed list and floating my mouse over it it said that I received everything from both. But I hadn't. Was so despondent I started all over again.
