Patch # 1.2.5 - Summer Patch One Two Five!

[Konstantin Fomenko]

It`s been a while since we had a good patch - but today we hope to make up for it - with a really diverse patch 1.2.5 that got something useful for everybody. To start things off - this patch introduces a new chat client with a wide variety of new features and customization. But please keep in mind the new chat is work in progress. In addition 1.2.5 finally adds new heroes for you to play with - available in the Market. In addition we`ve rebalanced a lot of gameplay stats - from combat balance, to storage capacity and wealth gain. You can check the Patch Tab for full details. Next step - brand new pathfinding!

First to post... hurray for the patch.

Edit: Not so hurray for the patch after all as game loading time increased for not almost doubled and after loging in any of the towns, the game screen gose black and there is only the mous pointer shown and the welcome speech heared.

Forgot a small part of the patch Should be all good now Seb!

[szebus]

Tnx, it is better and about the chat it is a really nice improvement. As a small suggestion, the text colors that can be changed in the chat options should have different colors by default and not white, but ok, i really like the new chat and how it opens the friend list when you need it.

I can't start the game anymore, it gets to the loading screen, but when i click 'play' screen goes black to load intro movie, than closes and i get a message that Dof.exe has crashed.

Hi all,

I think the chat is too big for me, we could have an option to make it smaller like the last one, and I would also like to move it because its too on center of the screen.

I got a weird bug: I tried to pvp someone, I found an opponent and when the map finished to load it was very bugged, like it was missing the graphics, units and everything in most part of it, I could see some geometric forms and the ground was blue. After some time there I got back to world map automatically. Not sure what caused that and if that will happen again.

Customization works fine.

[Konstantin Fomenko]

DaVince - update again (by running the updater), we just fixed this.

aramsm - We just fixed that as well. And I like your idea about option to make it smaller again.

[DaVince]

thanks a lot

Love the new changes! New heroes are pretty awesome too! Skills still seem to be resetting though.
