This is the last "aftermath update" to consolidate the big additions from six weeks ago, and will be labeled as 1.1.

Not many "visible" changes, but almost every window and menu in the game has been internally changed to support the PC version. As there have been changes in the game input I want to make sure everything works fine, but I'm rather sure it will.

v.1.1.1069 19/2/17

-Improved input: if you tap on a skill button while performing another action, the skill will trigger right after you complete the attack (previously the input was not registered).
-Upgraded items: Ashen Leggings, Branch of the Holy Tree, Ilmaran Signet Ring, Ring of the Red Sorcerer, Ring of the Planeswalker,Arcanist's Ring of Ice, Ivory Ring, Ring of Holiness, Ring of the Bull, Justice, Maul of Garrak, Rancor, Soul Drinker,Shaman Boots, Energy Cell.
-Increased drop rate of Greater Orbs (some were almost impossible to get).
-All wands and staves with Arcane attribute 3+ have increased damage and critical range now.
-Controllers can now map up to 8 skills.
-Small layout changes in Maze of Lamth Lev.1
-Fixed a bug related to the red particles from Ashen Cape doing full damage even when wearing the appropiate protection.
-When you tap on an item's attributes, you'll get a more detailed description.
-Fixes an aggro bug when companion consumed a harmful potion.
-Companions will not become frozen when at certain distance from the player.

As there's no new content, just play the game. Maybe start a new one to see the early areas are all OK. As always, thanks for your generous help testing this game.

I'm playing mage.
Sometimes when i press and hold the attack button my mage stops shooting unless i release and press again. Happens quite often. Didn't happen before the update.

Okay, so obviously there's an issue somewhere...

Not really, it happened several times but I don't know why or how. That doesn't happens always. it happens when fighting several enemies, but still not every time.

Edit: OK, I found a way to reproduce it!

When I hold attack and press rapid fire (while still holding attack), after release and press again the attack button, rapid fire gets activated but I stop firing (see pics)

Here A better perspective

Edit: after some testing, that happens also if you release and press the attack button again (fast)
If you do it slowly, this doesn't happen

Now the game crashes when I try to interact with magma longsword or Justice, can't tell since they share the same portrait. If I click on the sword, the game quits

Hmm - not an issue for me with magma longsword. I may have sold Justice.

They share the same image, so I couldn't tll for sure.

Figured out the problem. the new "buffered skill input" system should only work with skills that require an action, like spellcasting, or whirlwind, etc. All the other skills like Stab, Battle Rage, etc that can be activated anytime even when your character is acting should be working as before. fixing it.

Just released 1071 which should fix all the issues reported. The new skill input improvement will only apply to casting skills or skills that require an "action", ie, kick, charge, etc. All other skills, like flurry, battle rage, etc will work as before. Also fixes a possible rare crash.

EDIT: I'd like to get some confirmation about testing with a controller.

The buffer still needs a little bit more adaption.

The previous problem is gone, good work! But if you use a 'buffered skill', sometimes it won't activate if you release and press the attack button fast enough. Could reproduce it several times (activate kick while attacking, release and press attack and kick is still buffered (button stays green)) .

That's only a problem if you're very fast with clicking (maybe timer for the skill buffer adjustment?)

When I activate lightning bolt and then press attack again, while the lightning animation is still going, my mage won't attack. For example
