Known issues:

    Older saves are not supported. They may load up but proper working is not guaranteed. Please, start a new character for every new version!

Balance changes:

    Dexterity no longer gives you a Defense bonus, Body does instead. Dexterity now gives a bonus to Dodge.
    Skill Expertise now requires the same number of Skill Points as the Skill it is associated with.
    The number of Lesovik Shamblers was reduced in the Gallowsbog.
    Gathering 10 points in Ranged skills now grants +5% of Movement Speed instead of an Attack Rate bonus.
    Skill Expertise now bonuses through five stages instead of only two.
    Elemental and Poison damage from items now affects spells as well.
    Lady Katarina no longer recieves a second Inventory Page from the Collector Perk.
    Van Helsing now starts with some basic equipment.
    Elite and Champion groups can no longer have more than 4 skills.
    The Value Limit on Lady Katarina's Behaviour page now means that she will pick up items BELOW that value. Thus you can order her to gather items you wouldn't bother picking up.

Fixed bugs:

    You can no longer enhance Essences over the Essence Capacity limit, creating an Essence you couldn't use.
    Fixed an issue with random item enchantment generation. Enchantments should now be consistently stronger as you level up.
    Fixed a rather weird issue with the music volume. Now it should scale properly.
    Quest markers on the minimap should stay on the edge of the map when they move out of range, to indicate their general direction. This didn't work properly but it should be fixed now.
    The "Enemy Hit Point Numbers" option now affects the HP Bar shown by the "Enemy HP Bars" option as well.
    You can no scale the size of the floating texts in the game from the Options menu.
    There's a new option to turn off all blood effects.
    Really long item and skill tooltips had a gap in their background. This has been fixed.
    Items are no longer dropped over cliffs and such.
    Fixed a few issues with the Artifact Forge.
    Fixed a potential CTD when you pressed Esc while on the loading screen.
    Lady Katarina will turn into a passive form when you die until you are able to fight again. (She had a tendency to get massacred while you were in a ghost form.)
    Fixed an issue that could cause quests to duplicate in your Journal.
    Fixed a bunch of Powerup and Skill tooltips.
    Reversed the mouse scroll zooming.
    Fixed an issue with Journal with item rewards.
    In some situations, Lady Katarina could get stuck in her Bless form after returning from shopping. This has been fixed.
    Previously you could eliminiate individual enemies in groups without alerting the rest of the group. This was not intended and has been fixed.
    Fixed an issue with the stash being randomly open.
    In the Orichalcum Mines, the attack of the Kikimora's was bugged: the damage of the spell came later than the effect. It should work properly now.
    The totem pole in Croakwood didn't work properly sometimes. This has been fixed.
    After the fight with the Scarecrow, the Harpies sometimes got stuck in mid-air. They will disintegrate now.
    The name of Lady Katarina didn't show properly in some cases in the chat log. This has been fixed.
    If you got the same effect multiple times, the counter in the lower left didn't uptade properly. This has been fixed.
    A lot of item duplication bugs were fixed.
    On certain maps the teleportation effect didn't work properly. It should now.
    In the Werewolf Den, magic effects disappeared when the map changed to the Ink version. This has been fixed.
    The Iron Man Perk's tooltip was reversed. It should give you +50 Resistance at max HP and less as you go down. This has been fixed.
