Patch 14.4 (05th September 2016)

When targeting a particular stat to level up, the HUD now displays the stat's full name.

Engineer
Watch Your Step!
(NEW) When on corridors, mines will spawn either vertically or horizontally.

Items
No changes performed.

Enemies
No changes performed.

Arcane Forge
The arcane forge is a place where you can forge items and weapons to use in future runs for your heroes. You do so by using recipes collected in the Forbidden Library (random drop from monsters) and
by collecting materials from your runs. Whenever an item reaches full stack, it will drop ingredients to be used on the arcane forge! Thanks to everyone who contributed, specially to Steam user: Hebrek: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Herbrek for the suggestion!

Bug Fixes
- It's a Trap! - Fixed a bug where the engineer would collide with his own mines, therefore being unable to move.
- Collision Systems, huh?- Fixed a bug where the player would get stuck on a wall when certain conditions were met.
- I'd Like To FullScreen Please - Fixed a bug where the right analog stick of a gamepad would cease to work during fullscreen. Also, fixed a bug where the mouse would refuse to leave the corner of the screen when in full screen.
- Don't Throw Me That Shade! - Fixed a bug where the game would crash if the target operative system was unable to compile the required shaders.
- FPS Rate- Increased base FPS rate. Now it should be higher than the average FPS rate available during patch 14.2
- But I Have The Ingredients... - Fixed a bug where arcane forge's recipe system would fail to recognize the player's ingredients.
- Collision Systems, huh? - Fixed a bug where the player would get stuck on a wall when certain conditions were met.

Known Issues
- Due to the way the engineer behaves, his spider are dealing more damage than anticipated (each spider is dealing the displayed tooltip damage). We'll try to balance this issue out.
- Some dungeons can spawn without any marks. We have special plans for this situation ;)
- A new mechanic to cap the movement speed of heroes is needed, due to some of them still going sonic- like when using certain movement speed objects.
- The game has performance issues on some areas.
