A step in the right direction, UX Improvements are nice.. Downloader worked without issue, warned me of the file size before downloading (good feature!) generally I'm happy with what I see here. Being able to set a download throttle might be handy, though perhaps not necessary feature.

How can I get this for GOG version? Is there a code I can enter to enable it?

The beta patch is not available on GOG. The live patch, after all the due testing, will be released simultaneously on all PC platforms.

i was just wondering if this patch would be released live in the next few weeks?

[smanj440]

I found the game supercheap and re bought it just because of this patch. I am a loser

[Senhor Vagabundo]

Maybe it's the font pack but nearly all the apostrophes ' are blank squares in item descriptions.▯ <-- Those. Maybe bad encoding? Clean install of the latest beta, no modifications whatsoever.

Same problem here playing it in spanish, but I have the problem with comma sign and minus ("," and "-" basically).

The rest of the changes are all right and the new font looks great!

Is this compatible with existing saves?

[Proleric]

You can load existing saves in .21 and .22, but if you save the game again, there is a bug which makes the save unplayable in .20 and earlier releases.

That's not unusual. In most games, making a save on a newer version makes the save incompatible with older versions of the game.

I just finally bought the game after seeing the new font and ui scaling update.

using with an friend the x.22 BETA ... on the "Lord Of Terror" modul ... to date it have no real problems (more as the non beta version) - but today we enter the area "The Chamber of Bone" - and here it crashes the client on enter - even relogging in this area crash the client - have testing different gfx twaeks and found working match - but for me and him (i have an AMD card, he an nvidea) the working solution is different ....

There is a new feature called "graphics experimental dynamic buffer handling mode", and I think it's bugged or smth, game performance in last 2 or 3 developer branches is not good, BUT, once I click on that "graphics experimental dynamic buffer handling mode" and set ANY number, 0 or 3 (default is 2), I'll get stabe 60 fps, I can even revert changes (make it 2 again) and it'll stay at 60 fps, until I restart the game, then I need to modify that value again to any number.

It runs at 35-50 fps before I touch that option, and stable 60 (58-62) after.

Here are my screenshots:

FPS is not good, 'til I click on that new feature

FPS is nice and stable after I click on buffer mode, even If I revert it back to default 2

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2477738433

It not because of time of the day, I just accidently click R button, FPS is the same regardless of ingame time

P. S. I remember game ran really well, before that feature was impemented (couple of branches ago), maybe it was because developers enabled triple buffering by default, and now It's worse.
