Messaggio originale di They Call Me Steve:

Okay, so... where the **** do I click when I want to launch the game now ?
Like, really ? [image.noelshack.com] What is enhanced edition ? What is legacy ? I've no idea. Guys please, get your crap together. When a game lets you choose from FOUR different options just to launch it, you know there's something wrong.

Perhhaps read the patch notes?

"The game now uses a single launcher that lets you select to play Enhanced or Legacy.
(skip by using command-line option /dx11 for Enhanced or /dx9 for Legacy)"

Read them. Does not help one bit.

[MedeaFleecestealer]

Okay, I'll spell it out as per that note. Enhanced is the DX11 version of the game, Legacy is the DX9 version. If you have a newer PC then you probably want the Enhanced version, if an older machine then the Legacy one.

Messaggio originale di franz.hofmann:

For some reason I can't combine any charms or relics can't even put them inside items.

Use the auto-sort button, and it should auto-combine relics for you. I have completed several relics since 2.8 by using the auto-sort..

[Artesting]

Messaggio originale di Roch Silverfang:

Since this update, we're not able to combine charms.

I second that

[jkaplow21]

Awesome pet attack ability to have pets with no icons be able to attack dummies to see damage

[Autocthon]

So.... Now I have a failure to launch the DX11 version that I didn't have before. No logs are being created. Fault Module is Direct3D11.dll

How do you report a crash bug if the game doesn't appear to be making a log of the cause?

[MedeaFleecestealer]

fter today update my left handed wife cannot combine rune anymore. Is there anyone who can help or has the same problem ? Thanks.

[MedeaFleecestealer]

It's a bug and devs know about it, they're working to fix it.

Thanks good sir.

damn, been playing with a new rune char and was waiting for that 499 intelligence to put wodan or freya sets on her, guess thats a no now with the level requirements added in there :)

[tgExcalibur]

Thanks for the patch, glad to see patches are constantly coming to fix and improve stuff.

Also, wow guys, you really need to chill out... Just because you don't see a change you expected to see doesn't mean you have to be so rude. Support this whole progress instead of constantly grumbling.

[Alderina]

what are you done to resolution?!!
How I can return my grafics back?
Why you broke my favorite game by untested stuff?
What wrong whis you? I don`t pay for that at all

[Ailon]

Thank you for the patch.
