Patch 1.03

Note: We have hotfixed the problem with adventurer hall-created companions not being able to unlock doors or chests.

Second Note: We have also fixed an issue where people were unable to open certain doors due to the Fog of War.

"Big Ticket" Items

• Bears and Cats can now be equipped with hats. This is most likely not a joke... but might be a joke.
• Double-clicking to equip items was causing passive abilities to get removed from the character. This has been fixed and we were able to retroactively fix the problem for people that have already run into the issue. If you open your saved game in the latest patch, your characters will be repaired.
• Fixed a problem where attributes on characters could permanently increase by equipping certain items. This will also retroactively fix the problem in saved games that have characters with this issue.

We've included a fix to retroactively resolve the issue on Ciphers but the effect is still on the items. - Unfortunately the fix will not fix the broken effect on those items, so you'll need to keep those items unequipped until the next patch. If you do equip them, perform a Save/Load to fix your Cipher.
