Tainted Grail The Fall of Avalon v1.25 build 24270691 (Excalibur Edition)

New Hotfix - 0.5c

We'll be taking a couple of days off now for Easter, but we'll be back Tuesday! :)
Quality of Life:
Added stashes (chests) for players' items (you'll find one near Fearghas, second one in the Barracks)
More keys are now available for rebinding.
Fixed a bug that made rebinding some keyboard inputs invisible or impossible. It should now be possible to rebind, for example, the "Q" key.
Saved games / crashes:
Fixed even more broken saves and additional causes of save corruption.
Killing a shop NPC will no longer corrupt your saved games.
Fixed Steam Deck texture quality so that, hopefully, it won't crash immediately after getting to the main map due to memory issues.
Performance:
Introduced a Display Settings category and added new Graphic Settings (so that you can tweak even more parameters related to visuals). Please adjust in case of problems with the game's performance.

General bug fixes:
Iron and Wyrdstone sources should now respawn.
Bromhar No Face will no longer hide underground.
Fixed a movement bug that occurred after killing the Lost Knight.
Fixed encumbrance icon not displaying after loading the game
Fixed character sheet tabs (they sometimes weren't visible on Map UI)

Hey Everyone!
Another HUUUGE update today!
But before we go into details, let us start with a big heartfelt THANK YOU from our team! We received tons of amazing support from you, and it is extremely satisfying to the whole team watching you all play and enjoy our game!
We know it is not perfect yet, and rest assured that our team is 100% committed to ironing out all the bugs, crashes, or optimization problems. We already made 4 smaller technical patches and expect more soon!
Most importantly, we have fixed the majority of the issues that were crashing the game in some players' cases. We are continuing to work on the technical state of the game and performance!
NOW! To the big news.
We are extremely excited (and quite stressed, too :D) to announce the 1.0 launch date for Tainted Grail: the Fall of Avalon!
Here is the launch date trailer!
 
Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon will launch on Steam, Xbox, and PS5 on the...
23rd of May, at 5 pm CET!
Third Person Perspective
As you can see from the trailer, our team has taken in your feedback, given their best, and managed to implement a TPP view! Note that it will be available when the 1.0 version is released!
 
Let us highlight that while it will be playable, it is FAR from perfect, so we genuinely recommend playing in First Person View (this game was designed for FPP). But we know there are people who have problems with the FPP view, so we worked hard to add it as an “accessibility feature”.
 
Our monthly update video made by WolfheartFPS (actually dedicated to TPP!) will be slightly delayed this time. We’ll link it here tomorrow; stay tuned!
 
1.0 is COMING! 23rd of May; save the date, book your calendars, and take some free days at work… :D
As we have communicated before, with 1.0, we will do one last save wipe, and that’s it!
From there on out, you can fully experience the game, finish the full main quest, and enjoy exploration of all 3 huge regions.
We estimate the game to take around 50-70 hours to complete (main quest + a selection of side quests), but if you want to see and collect everything… well, prepare for a bit more :D
A few most important highlights of the full version of the game:
Access to the FULL game! 3 huge regions to explore (Misty Horns of the South, Cuanacht bathed in sun, and snowy Forlorn Swords)
50-70 hours of gameplay
Full, branching main story quest with hundreds of different endings
200+ side quests
250+ unique NPCs
400+ unique weapons, including shields
55+ unique spells + 14 soul cubes
75+ dungeons
100+ unique enemies, including variants

Critical Fixes:
Fixed one source of crashes. We have another crash fix in progress as well, but it needs more extensive testing before being pushed out to you guys
(PC Missing Saves) The most common cause of missing saves on PC has been due to the game failing to find Steam and loading GoG or fallback saves. Last week, we added a pop-up informing you when Steam could not be found. This week, we have added a pop-up that asks you whether you want to move saves found in the other folders to your Steam folder automatically. We recommend that everyone migrate using the pop-up.
Items with special effects have been optimized. This should help with performance for players further in the game or hoarders who have many unique items with them.
Fixed a few memory leaks in our UI visuals
A quest in the fields of Cuanacht will no longer permanently block player saving Monstrous Marriage)
Lockpicking now uses the main camera. Significantly decreasing memory footprint is especially important on consoles.
Most Requested:
After finishing the game, you can now choose to keep playing and explore the world further or to quit.
Added kill prevention to some essential NPCs in Cuanacht and Forlorn Swords regions. The player will now have to intentionally execute them, preventing accidental murders by the player or other enemies
Prevented enemies from shooting backwards when the player dodges behind them
Added an option in the fireplace to bring Qrko back when it's lost.
Visual change for spells such as Impenetrable Shield, Mystic Ward, and Arcane Aegis.
(Items) Item weight is now displayed to two decimal places for very light items; otherwise, it remains rounded to one decimal place.
(Items) Rebalanced upgrading of 53 different Weapons so that they gain both damage and improve their special effects
(Items) Added item effect gains upon upgrading in handcrafted sets
(Items) Rebalanced armor weight loss when upgrading
(Summons) Fixed player summons sometimes not attacking when outside of player FoV
(Summons) Fixed player summons not attacking NPCs that are, by default, non-hostile towards the player, but the player is engaged in combat with them
(Summons) From now on, summons should be able to exit interiors with you
(Summons) Disabled collisions with player summons outside combat
Retroactively fixed dialogue flow with Barlaam in the quest “The Trial”
