Ironmace has released a new update for Dark and Darker, titled Hotfix #44. The update introduces fixes to several bugs and gameplay issues. Furthermore, the update resolves a new issue where video settings under the TSR options were unchangeable.
Furthermore, changes made to items via the Squire while in a party setting will now reflect correctly on the lobby character. Overall, this update seems like a super fine deal for all the players, especially that the Combat mechanics have been tuned quite extensively. Francisca Axe and Throwing Knife are now fully functional across classes through Weapon Mastery, and the Crowssbow reloading glitch during Warlock’s Phantomize ability has been fixed.
Also, the Goblin Cave exploit that allowed players to access different areas via a fireball jump is now fixed. Withouit further ado, you can find the patch notes below.
