Latest Changes:

Previous Beta Hotfixes:
25/09/20
- Fixed a problem with animation sampling.
- Fixed a bug that caused the player to get captured, lose all troops and companions despite a successful battle.
- Both player and the bandit camp boss were forced to start the duel or battle without a wielded weapon. Now the boss wields the weapon when the dialogue is over and the player holds his weapon in his hands if he had already had one.
- Removed the dismounting feature from spear blade parts. Dismounting can now only be applied with spear guard pieces.
- Various problems with companion and lord deaths were resolved. (Parties that lost their party leader in special circumstances should not become stuck. Clan party creation & clan role assignment should not be locked if a companion party leader dies. A number of crashes were handled.) This fix does not resolve the issue in already broken save games.
- Fixed a crash that occurred if the player failed at romance bartering.
- Minor improvement in autosave timings.
