All that means is they'll bounce you back to the main character screen again so you can choose which character to play in that mod.

I can't run the game, it go running then syncing and that is it. Can't play it at all.
Am I the only one with this problem?

Is there any chance of finally seeing camera-rotation integrated into the game? - The existing camera rotation mods do not work for TQAE with Ragnarök and/or Atlantis.

Did you try disabling the Steam cloud sync?

Probably not as the whole game is built with only one camera perspective in mind.

Hoped that Alcyoneus' Breastplate would get its color corrected to light green as it is still just 'green' as before AE

[MedeaFleecestealer]

How do you know they don't appear in Epic or Legendary if you're only in Normal?

[sajok]

Will I finally get a shortcut to the desktop to the DX9 game version or is it still a big problem?

You can make your own. Just pass "/dx9" as a launch option.

i would love to know where all my characters have gone, i had built up quite a lot especially having completed Ragnorok, and now they have all gone and i have had to start from scratch; to say i'm not a happy bunny is an understatement, i cannot import any characters.

[MedeaFleecestealer]

Cloud saving strikes again from the sounds of it. Disable cloud saving in both Steam and the ingame options and stick with local saves from now on. You can back them up regularly too.

When can we expect to see affixes on the new Atlantis unique jewels? It baffles me a little that the expansion was released with incomplete items, and for them to still be incomplete many months later is very disappointing.

I wrote it many times.
Atlantis rings and amulets have no preffixes or suffixes, only the empty window [no stats]

{LENKE FJERNET}https://www.tq-db.net/en/equipment/ammon's-magnificence

Even on the official items website it shows

I get the impression that devs now don't care much about this game, except for moving both expansions to [♥♥♥♥♥] consoles, sad :(
