Ember 1.03 Update, Squashing Bugs

Ember

Ember is a homage to classic role-playing games (RPG) that features a deep branching story, endless exploration across dynamic and living environments, a robust skill system, and an intricate crafting system.

Hi Steam! We have just released version 1.03 of Ember on Steam. This patch focuses on fixing the most common issues that users have been reporting. A big thank-you to everyone that reported bugs, and sent in saves, screenshots and logs. Note that the first time you load your savegame in 1.03 the load may take a little longer than normal, as it has to spend some time patching your save game to the latest version of the world. Here are the changes since version 1.00: - [HOTFIX] fixed an issue where Fia wasn't in her chamber when you are on the quest to reunite with her (savegames affected by this issue will be auto-patched on load) ​- fixed the issue where players with Windows usernames with extended characters couldn’t save - fixed a crash when loading save games ​after losing in battle - fixed progression blocker if you get to the bog of souls, go back to drink the potion, then fast travel back to the bog then talk to the necro - ​​added a work around for the weird issue where Gia wouldn’t make the potion appear and the main quest would get stuck - fixed rare bug where Monte’s door would stay closed even at night so you couldn’t get in to talk to him - fixed a punctuation error in Stephan’s dialog in first dungeon - added a bedroll to the Radiance merchant’s inventory - made Heal Area last 10 seconds like its description says, up from 5 seconds - made enemy encounters in the “Cleanse the Barrows” quest area a bit easier - added a popup box after you rest and gain 0% xp boost telling players they should have waited more to rest - new way of detecting desktop resolution on PC that should be more accurate, and if desktop resolution isn’t a valid game resolution fall back to 1024x768 - fixed some grammar issues in the book “The End is Near!” - fixed exploit where you could easily get 100% XP Boost by using the "wait" functionality a few times then resting - fixed issue where you could unlock Shepherd Plains fast travel before gaining the ability to fast travel - Coren is more clear that you have to drag the hay bales aside to get through the door in darkwood - unlock “A Blade of Legend” achievement even if you complete that quest the “bad” way​, where the family moves to Pinnacle​ - when completing the “Woodkeeper’s Daughter” quest and choosing to take care of Glowy, the player is given a Glowy item they can choose what to do with - made bedroll’s name always visible to ensure people pick it up in the first dungeon - fixed some hardware-specific crashing issues due to shaders We hope you're enjoying Ember! Keep those suggestions and feedback coming on the forums. Love hearing from you all!
