what is this?

Enhanced = DX11, Legacy = DX9.

[அεలεໄ ♬]

but what is skip by using command-line option? is that it start game directly dx9 or dx11 ?

[MedeaFleecestealer]

Yes. You right click on the game in your library, go down to Properties and choose Launch Options then type in /dx11 or /dx9, for whichever one you want to use.

I just haven't played for a couple of days and just logged in, my Necropolis staff, a light green unique was replaced with a Draining Bone staff of Spirit. What gives? I was so OP for my level and now my DPS has halved.
There's not a chance I would have done this by accident because the current staff hardly benefits my character at all and I would have had to sell my Necromancer staff without even removing the Essence of Achilles

Well if "couple of days" has been at a date after this patch, I don't see how that could've happened because of this patch. Did you maybe press the "switch weapons" key?

[Ryksa]

I do not understand. I start with TQ.exe, but still always start with DX11, no launcher coming up before it. What?

Well the command line option works as before, just saying there is no launcher for me.

Does anyone else have issues playing LAN multiplayer since v2.8 came out? We use Steam edition on one machine and GoG version on the other. GoG v2.8b can see Steam v2.8 in the lobby but cannot connect to the server; Steam v2.8 cannot see the GoG hosted game at all. Any tips how we could solve this issue? (other than buying another game license on Steam. ;-) )

I know that would make most sense, but my weapon straight up got replaced it's bizarre

Well, if you're sure that it's not in the secondary weapon slots, report it over here: https://redmine.thqnordic.com/projects/titan-quest-atlantis-community/news

This site is out of date (3 months ago) and there is no place to report errors...you cant register to log in AND it is misconfigured and gives a suspicious error.

Also - Avira (virus prot) didnt allow 2 of the files in the update to download:
Editor.exe gave a ATRAPS.Gen and Game.dll a Patched.Ren.Gen

We are working on getting it updated, most browsers will allow you to bypass that warning, it is a safe site.

You just have to click the + in the left side of the screen and you get a dropdown menu to report a new bug.

I've solved my problems previously reported by editing the file someone suggested me to edit.

Nowadays, i'm wondering how to use wine for this game, since because i'm currently playing on old laptop that runs windows 7, and i think i should try to run it on my new laptop that runs ubuntu 18.04.
