Eschalon: Book II 1.05 Beta 2
Posted: October 26th, 2010, 6:24 pm
First, I should let you know that I've gone over the 1.04 bug list with a fine-tooth comb. That doesn't mean everything got fixed- on the contrary, many minor bugs were pushed aside. Some minor bugs actually require a sizable amount of time and effort to fix, which can easily lead to additional bugs. So, I just fixed the most notorious bugs and those that were easy to catch; others will likely remain in as "features".
Below is the complete change log. Below that are your links. Report any major bugs in this thread. Full release will be by the end of the week if you want to play a non-beta version.
