[Early Access] Patch 9.7 Notes and Discussion

Here are the notes for Patch 9.7 on Steam!

Features

• Added toggle in the Options menu to disable already-viewed skippable cutscenes!

  • This means any intro/outro cutscenes (like the Liferoot Forest victory cutscene) that you have already seen won’t appear again. The exception to this is any cutscene that occurs mid-match (like the Betsy intro on Wave 5) as this operates differently from the other cutscenes.

• When players leave a tavern, their towers are now automatically sold.

Optimization Bug Fix

• Fixed a bug where the game would use an integrated graphics card instead of a dedicated card if both were available. This should increase performance for some players with high-end PCs.

Balance

• Towering Poison Health Update

  • Increased Defense Health bonus of Towering Poison passive.

  • 80% Increase -> 130% Increase (Max).

  • Minimum values increased to maintain parity with new maxes, which should retroactively buff all existing Towering Poison items.

• Crystalline Saber now follows the Loot V2 stat/passive rules.

Bug Fixes

• Added a tentative fix for minibosses (like Ogres) getting stuck in spawners. Please let us know if you’re still seeing stuck minibosses and be sure to include information on spawn location, map, mode and difficulty.

• Zen Monument now decreases time between healing ticks as intended.

• Fixed a bug where the Crystalline Saber was dropping way more than intended. Now other build weapons should appear more often.

• Fixed a Daily Mission issue where certain Daily Missions that were supposed to reward lockbox keys were, surprise, not rewarding those keys.

• Fixed an issue where Fuse Initiate didn’t give enough gold. Now it does!

• Fixed a bug where item tooltips wouldn’t display in the Inventory if a player opened and closed the chat window while the tooltip was on screen.

• Fixed an issue where dragging the Scroll Bar down to the Pet Bag would cause the Scroll Bar to pop back up to the top of the Inventory.

• Fixed a Daily Mission tooltip issue where the tooltips for the Random Consumables displayed only a few of the possible rewards (the pet eggs). The other consumable possibilities were omitted.

• Fixed a text issue that would happen if a player rebound the Ready Up key.

• Fixed an issue where the Holy Buff would stack on Temple of the Necrotic.

• Fixed an issue where the Scourge Dragon’s projectiles would arrive after the enemy has already been damaged.

• Fixed a War Table text issue where it would display “Knight Commander” instead of “War Table,” causing general confusion.

• Fixed a tooltip display error.

• Fixed an issue where the Betsy icon was displaying on the Harbinger HUD.

Other Notes

• EU server is now located in Ireland.

• Oceanic server is now located in Sydney.
