Patch #1 (14 August 2019)

• Ring Menu:ON setting will get a QoL update. If you liked the current functionality, nothing changes for you. Additionally it will be possible to hold the key, choose the transformation/magic with the L-Stick and confirm by just releasing the key. This way the ring menu will be faster to use.
• Better stability in sound module when the sound device is removed or unplugged. (we received crashlogs which showed issues here).
• Fixed a camera glitch in Lost Temples region.
• Fixed menu navigation issue when a specific amount of items was stocked.
• Jukebox songs play to the end properly (2 songs have been buggy)
• Low performance mode: If you run below 30fps the game will now execute render updates to avoid physics issues with jump height and water currents.
• Fixed graphical bug in background with a specific level.
• Once you entered volcano area, small savespots will revive you with 5 hearts refilled instead of 3 in case of failing.
• Fixed spawn position of a crate in the forest that was buggy when playing with unlocked framerate above 120fps.
• Improved fullscreen video setting to hopefully prevent low resolution startup bug that was reported by some players.
