Patch notes

These are the official patch notes for Version 0.11.4 released by Grinding Gear Games.^[1]

Notes

This patch is a large download because it includes newer (smaller/faster) versions of most of the game's art. We have tried to ensure that there will only be one such large patch by combining many such changes into this one.

Features

Some areas of Wraeclast now have environmental critters.

Informational icons at the top left of the screen now have borders based on the nature of what is being shown. Buffs have a green border, debuffs a red border, flask effects have a golden border, other game play elements (like charges and skill counters) have a grey border. Minions still have have the older style bevelled border.

League Banners now correctly display on the Social tab.

As you move around, the edges of shadows no longer flicker or "swim" visibly.

Incinerate now has an informational icon which displays what stage it is in when you continue to cast it.

Substantial optimisation to the size of game art assets has been performed. This will reduce loading times, memory usage and associated stability issues.

Several changes have been made to the Lunaris Temple area to reduce memory usage.

Improved the performance of The Docks.
