Dawnwalker Update 1.1 Patch Notes

This is our own summary of the developer’s Update 1.1 notes. The full list is long and mostly bug fixes, so read the official Steam announcement for every line item.

Items, merchants, and balance

• Merchants now offer buyback, and equipped items are hidden when selling.
• Item upgrade costs were rebalanced, especially at higher levels.
• Items can be equipped in the day and night presets at the same time.
• Boars and wolves have less health at higher levels, and some wolf and boar encounters are less aggressive.

Fixes

The notes cover large numbers of quest, map, stability, audio, and localization fixes, including falling-through-the-map and stuck-in-place issues in several quests, boss fight corrections, ability bug fixes, and an infinite-money exploit with beehives. Blood and gore are also no longer censored in the Japanese Steam version.
