Grim Dawn V1.1.1.0 + Hotfix 1/2/3 Changelog

[Zantai]

A surprise patch has appeared!

As we push towards the Forgotten Gods release (just 2 more days as of this post!), we are throwing every improvement we can at you.

Today's patch has some pretty exciting changes to the animation system that we are thrilled to get into your hands.

We hope you enjoy this pre-release patch! For the full list of changes, see below:



v1.1.1.2 Hotfix 3

[Tech]

• You can now toggle your preferred Mobility Skill behavior when using a Gamepad in the game options (lock on target or move max distance).
  
• Fixed an issue where items with % Elemental Resist or % Bleed Resist were not properly included in the filter when setting the Loot Filter to search for items with Resistances
  
• The background bitmap of the Challenge Area UI no longer prevents mouse input.
  
• Fixed a crash when using Drain Essence.
  
• Fixed an issue where Vire's Might could get stuck running in place indefinitely.
  
• Fixed Eye of Reckoning getting cancelled when affected with the trap debuff.
  
• Fixed a bug with Item Set Transmutation in multiplayer.
  
• Hardcore characters will once again be able to accept their deaths.

[Shattered Realm]

• Reduced the % Progress at which monsters are marked on the minimap to 80%, from 90%.
  
• You may now select from any checkpoints you've previously unlocked when using a Waystone (ex. a Celestial Waystone can be used to proceed to Shard 65, 70 or 75, rather than only taking you to the highest of those three options that you've unlocked)
  
• Fixed an issue where players would gain different amounts of XP in multiplayer when cashing out after using a Waystone.
  
• Fixed various instances where monsters could spawn out of bounds on Boss levels. If you encounter such issues in the future, please report the location to us as a bug report.

[Crucible]

• Smoothed out Monster Health scaling on Gladiator Difficulty at Waves 130+, scaling a bit higher than previously at Waves 150+
  
• Might of Amatok: replaced % Offensive Ability bonus with 75 Offensive Ability
  
• Vanguard Banner: removed % Crit damage bonus

[Art]

• Increased hitbox for Banners around Forgotten Gods final boss arena to improve transparency fading.

[Game]

• Added additional interactions with Kymon's Chosen that clarify where they stand during (and after) the Forgotten Gods conflict. Previously, players only interacted with some of them while working with only one of the three cults.
  
• Increased drop rate of Celestial Lotus from bosses that can drop it
  
• Monster debuffs that affect Health Regeneration no longer completely negate it.
  
• Fixed an issue with Sagon's dialogue in the Vanguard of the Three where a quest offer would be available repeatedly.
  
• Fixed several issues with mislabeled dungeon entrances, missing tags, mislabeled NPCs, etc.
  
• Corrected various grammatical/spelling errors that have been reported.
  
• Fixed an issue where Forgotten Gods sets could not be generated when Transmuting with the Random Set option at the Inventor.
  
• Clarified Reputation reward info for the three Witch God Cult Factions. The New Quests previously listed at Respected were actually made available to all players regardless of Faction state. The New Quest at Honored now correctly states that it is available if you allied yourself with that specific cult.

[Itemization]

• Increased the Max Distance for Disengage Rune Augment Skills
  
• Increased the Max Distance and Damage on Leap Rune Augment Skills
  
• Rune Augment - Disorder: increased Cooldown to 4.6s

• Legendary - Cyclone Mask: reduced Fire damage modifier for Wind Devil to 36 and Lightning damage modifier to 1-70
  
• Legendary - Mythical Chausses of Barbaros: removed % Armor bonus on the skill proc

[Class & Skills]

• Chance of 100% Cooldown Reduction effects, ex. Ulzuin's Chosen, now have a visual indicator + sound effect that play over your character when they trigger.

Occultist

• Summon Familiar: adjusted base pet resists to be more in line with other pets. The Familiar was hogging some Grim Dawn Alpha values in the resists department. It's 2019, get with the word, bird.

Oathkeeper

• Summon Guardian of Empyrion: guardians are now less vocal about their ghostly situation
  
• Eye of Reckoning and Soulfire now have accurate DPS calculations.
  
• Haven: replaced flat Health with % Health

v1.1.1.1 Hotfix 2

[Tech]

• Fixed a crash caused by recent changes to Weapon Trail behavior.
  
• This issue was related to reports of problems with Freeze/Petrify effects and after testing with several affected players, we expect both to be resolved. Please let us know your crashes persist after this hotfix is live by reporting your issue in the Bug Reporting forum.

[Art]

• Updated Weapon Trail Textures to feel a little flashier.

[Game]

• You can now disable Voice/Text Error Messages (ex. I can't cast that yet), in game Options.

• Fixed an issue with the Lore Note "Carmac's Notes" appearing multiple times.

v1.1.1.0 Hotfix 1

[Tech]

• Fixed a crash on launch caused by the presence of very old Community Translation Packs.

[Animation]

• Updated melee Blitz Attacks to feel more dynamic and impactful for each weapon type.
  
• Added new charge animations for 2h and Dual-wield melee configurations.

[Game]

• Updated the Hidden Path doors to auto-close after a delay. After they close in this manner, they can be interacted with to reopen. Should hopefully address issues where these doors become permanently closed on subequent visits; but then again these are doors, and doors are the work of Ch'thon and should be stowed away in the Luminari Vault.

[Itemization]

• Summoned Companion Pets (ex. Will'O'Wisp and Hargate's Crystal) are now limited to max 3 pets at a time. These pets no longer collide with other creatures.

Shaman

• Wind Devil: Wind Devils no longer collide with other creatures

v1.1.1.0

Note to Community Translators: v1.1.0.0 Translation packs are compatible with the v1.1.1.0 patch.

[Major New Features]

• Melee combat animations have been updated to feel more responsive and snappy. In some cases, the hit call occurs slightly faster than before, but overall animation timings remain the same as before and this change has no impact on the speed of attacks.
  
• Improved blending on ranged combat animations. This change has no impact on the speed of attacks.
  
• Improved weapon trails visible during weapon attacks, particularly with magic weapons.

• Exorcised the Depraved Sanctuary door so that it no longer appears open when it is in fact not.

[Lone Wolf]

Great work everybody! Looking forward to the expansion in a couple days!

[prisonera]

А вот слабо было выпустить игру за два дня до релиза? )))
Так сильно хочется купить игру, что аж сил нет)

[BigBodZod]

Thanks for the update.

[jmvbento]

Man, all this renewed focus on increasing survivability (both in this patch and the "Spirit/Cunning now give health" change) have me slightly worried about the level of smackdown FG mobs will be able to lay down. X)

[Doskias]

Please devs. Don't forget about Grim Dawn. We want another expansion in the future.

[isaggelos]

so much love for this game

[Stygian Emperor]

So where do I add the /x64? At the end of steam://rungameid/219990 ?

[JesterOI]

"Exorcised the Depraved Sanctuary door so that it no longer appears open when it is in fact not." But... but... :( That was so classic!

[Darkflame92]

A very nice update. Only downpoint is, i cannot use the Aetherial ReShade with the x64 exe.

[SkullFire58]

Wow, these health regen buffs are insane, now with both Healing Rain and Overguard I can sit at +2000 health regen, haha. Also, thank you guys for adding a built in command to launch the x64 bit exe!

I added this in the steam LIbrary ui, right click game, Properties, Set Launch Options. I added it there and verified the process when launched is the one in this folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Grim Dawn\x64

[Silma]

one question for dev: I wanted to buy the expansion in advance but there is still no price here

tks for all!
