Changelog for Patch 2.1.5a / GOG-31 (Windows) / GOG-? (Mac) / GOG-11 (Linux) (added 08 March 2017):
[file update for Mac version still missing]

- Level editor: Fix startup crash & item editor bugs
- Fix "#ERROR!" bugs in various localizations
- Fix mac/linux versions
- Switching to "Universal" builds that include all currently supported API's with every build, everywhere. Currently this is just Steam, but if/when GOG Galaxy support is added that will be included as well. If a particular client is not running, the game will ignore those API calls and run as usual. The text in the lower right hand corner will indicate what client is running -- "Steam" for Steam, "Universal" for none. When GOG Galaxy support is added (not in as of 2.1.5a) it will say "GOG".

Boo! I will keep the red cross. Fuck the Red Cross.

Better the Black Cross. Red/Green Cross does not protect everyone.

Sigh...

Hmmm.
I notice the install file was 319MB for the 2_24.0.31 version and is now 1.19 *GB*.

Yes, for some reasons the OpenGL and classic version were bundled in the main installer. There are also a few seemingly useless new folders in the HD version which makes me think something went wrong in the process of packaging the installer.

Unless you really, really need this update you might want to wait until they fix it up.

Good Idea. I'll wait for the next one.

New update, but there's probably going to be another one shortly, so keep that in mind before downloading this one.

Patch 2.2.0 (05 January 2018)

Lots of battle optimizations:

- don't call unnecessary updates on enemies
- don't call unnecessary updates on effects
- cache results of effect palette swaps rather than doing it EVERY SINGLE TIME
- Fix occassional NaN values for a projectile's angle, which would trigger a while loop of SIX MILLION ITERATIONS (every update!!!!)
- Throttle how many times an enemy's HP bar can be redrawn per unit of time (so it's not wastefully spammed when playing at e.g. x16 speed)
- Cache results of scaled tiled bitmaps to reduce drawing time
- Increase capacity of QuadTree nodes
- Added surgical speed throttling -- if there's too many enemies on screen, x16 and x8 speed modes are disabled until you kill enough off. You'll only ever really encounter this limit on the endless bonus battles, and it should effectively increases framerate by not overtaxing the game.
- Replaced "hot" text fields in battle with bitmap text fields, which update faster and cause less lag
- Avoid playing multiple identical sound effects in rapid succession
- Preload enemies to avoid stutter on the first spawn of each wave

Other stuff:

- Fix controls menu bug where you can create invalid control configs in gamepad mode
- Fix black screen on exiting menu in battle if sprite mode has ever changed
- Fix auto-closing gamepad controls change popup
- Fix on-screen button prompts not updating on controls change in save slot screen
- Remove various problematic window resolutions from the video options
- Fix controls menu gamepad navigation
- Fix steam achievements not always reflecting what you have on Steam vs. what you have in game
- Make journal text default to latin font if it tries to do Korean/Japanese but finds an untranslated string
- Fix this crash - start a game in hero mode, try to recruit a character, and cancel out of the warning popup
- Add various crash guards
- Fix cursor crash in movies menu
- Add antialiasing to projectiles
- Lots of locale tweaks to fix bugs
- Show the text "loading" between screen transitions so it's not just black
- Fix German/Spanish text overruns in cutcenes
- Add back/forth cutscene actions for gamepad
- Fix cursor navigation of enemy tooltips on battle preview
- Switch journal to bitmap text so it loads faster
- Fix soft lock in party skill screen
- Fixed full-screen flash effects persisting after a screen transition
- Fix missing skill lock text in party menu
- Fix missing tutorial texts when navigating with the gamepad
- Fix broken symbols text in cutscenes

- Fix boost disabled button placement in mcguffin menu in final battle
- Fix buggy gamepad menu interactions with spell menu
- If a name is entered in japanese/korean and the language is later switched to English or another locale, so that a text field with non-asian characters ever attempts to display asian text, display the asian text using romanization (Hepburn or RROK) rather than display nothing at all (this does not change the underlying data).
- Optimize party screen so it's faster to navigate with the gamepad
- Fix some issues with gamepad navigation on the battle screen
