Thank you for posting the patch notes. Sadly the in-client-window for the patches on Galaxy hasn't been updated in a long time.

No Tarquin fix though? At least not mentioned. Gotta go ingame and check if he's still stuck in the graveyard of act II...
edit: Sigh... not fixed.

OMG they convertet Hanal Lechet into a two handed axe now my prince is weaponless. But they haven't change the stats or attributes for example it still gives +1 single handed

Wow... that's not your regular stupid, that's advanced stupid! :D

I just bought the game today and I am downloading it manually, the 7 parts, for the downloads page on here.

Why isn't this new patch showing anywhere in the downloads list?

http://larian.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=633692

Looks like the notes here talk about it? So you are saying the galaxy client knows to download the patch, but it's not listed on the manual download page, right?

Yes.

Still broken though. There are already user comments saying the same. Maybe they meant something other than the anathema quest with "his questline".

This is great. I can't even open inventory now. If I do that it just starts spamming "inventory open" sound constantly.
Some old bugs are still there, despite being in that list above.
And this devs asking "why only 6% of players finished our game?" Why indeed.
Too bad I can't refund now.

You're all very welcome for the patch notes. I have this weird thing about not being able to see patch notes when said patch is made available. So I took it upon myself to post them here. Finally, I've edited my original post due to it being incomplete. It should take effect soon enough. Best, -M.
