Changelog for patch 637 (added 19 March 2018):

- This patch release brings us to version 6.37 and not only fixes bugs but also adds a requested camera FOV option in the graphics menu!

Fixed:

- Infinite loop in Kerold's dialog when asking about holy berries.
- The counter of the task to get the obols in the catacombs is erroneous.
- The Visuals and Audio menu options don't show up as localized.
- Case where you can't buy maps from Rolo.
- It is possible to call the map, interface, perception skill or tool cycling during end sequence.
- Specific cases of Tilo being sent to jail as a red ranger and getting locked in the cell with Silas.
- The "Stack" skill doesn't work after reloading a save (tools number gets capped at 5).
- Texture resolution is reset to normal after closing and reloading the game.

Changed:

- Added an option in the Visuals options to change the camera FOV.
- The "Stack" skill now allows Tilo to carry more candles as well.
- (Also, the "silver ring from gambler" patch is now retroactive, and so is the "chest bundle for Silas" fix)

------------

- Occasional crashes when saving with screen resolutions higher than HD (ie. 4K).
- Quest events issue when reloading the autosave just after Ravik's arrival.
- Brisances exploding in the final battle don't respawn after reloading a save.

The dev post this message on steam :

This is by far the biggest patch update (6.5) since the release of the game last week. It takes care of the vast majority of the remaining bugs. I won’t hide that it’s been a very intense period, with a lot of work and very little sleep.

In case some of you are wondering why those bugs were there to start with, the answer is simple (besides the fact that Ghost of a Tale is quite complex under the hood): a dozen persons testing the game on and off over a period of 2 months is simply no match for having thousands of people all starting to play at the same time. That being said, it's my fault of course.

When I realized what was happening it was obviously too late to say “whoops, sorry I’ll put it back in the fridge for moment”. The fact that most sounds didn’t play in the second half of the game furthermore gave the impression that it wasn’t finished. And that sucked.

Of course, 95% of the people who play Ghost of a Tale love it and that feels great. But I’m painfully aware that early adopters (including reviewers to this day) played with builds that were just not at the technical level they should have been. Which was particularly frustrating after an excellent run in early access.

Today, exactly 11 days after release, the game is what it should have been right from the start. So let this serve as an apology to the players who felt the game was not up to their technical standards when it launched, and an invitation to those who've been waiting to come and visit the world of Ghost of a Tale!

I can say at 95% that you won’t regret it... :)

White (untextured) walls in catacombs corridor near the Great Hall. <=== this made me lulz when i saw it on my LP
Bees nests erroneously appear as items in inventory.

Finally ... in other words where were you back in May haha ... at lest all bugs are now fixed , yey

Not all bugs are fixed. The temporary freezes are still happening in version 7.05 since update 6.60.

played with a pad and did not have any freezes... hmmm , guess it has mouse pooling problems when your mouse jams for 1 sec every 3 to 9 min ... found that most games that have a option for playing with a Pad or KB&M have those problems ... but games developed for specific input device have none of those ...

The last game that i have played that had this was the PC port of Bullet Witch

I´m playing with keyboard and mouse indeed but i think that the devs should also test that if they offer this option ingame especially because this didn´t happen to me before version 6.60.
