In response to the feedback and multiple requests of the players to have tried the beta version, we have prepared the first patch fixing a considerable number of technical and game bugs, so as improving the performance drastically. PATCH FIXES: Critical! 1. Black screen bug, aka blinking screen bug fixed (a problem with wrong display drivers so that the game does not understand the maximal usable screen refresh rate). The options added to the launcher (HeroesOfAE.exe) allow you to choose in between safe mode or higher refresh rate. Major! 2. Pathfinding improved (but still to be improved in further versions) Major! 3. Arrows and 2-3fps bug fixed (arrows no longer stay on the ground) Major! 4. Performance considerably increased owing to new shadow quality option added (low) Major! 5. Fog of war method completely redone (panoramic view (PageDown(View) + high zoom out) looks stunning) Minor! 6. Minor change in mission script. AI increases power through time by carrying out zombie upgrades. It gets tougher to play now on later stages of the game. Minor! 7. Zooming function changed to allow deeper zoom-in + no need to constantly press the zooming button, the stances switching now (zoom-in, standard view, zoom-out) Minor! 8. Game logic changed to increase the performance (enables performance boost on virtually all machines) Minor! 9. Smaller balance tweaks Info! 10. In-game hint with hot-key info added Surprise!!! 11. Interface redone (new styling)
