The wait is over, the download for Underworld / Gold version 2.28 is now available. This version corrects many SP, MP and quest related problems.
Single Player and Multiplayer Bugs:
• Fixed: Disappearing Horse problem
• Fixed: Hell Golem ignored char's resistances in higher levels (Platin/Niob)
• Fixed: Overflow at high values on some Dwarf skills
• Fixed: Problems occurring in high difficulty levels only (Niob/Platin):
o Masterbite (Vampiress) will work as intended once again.
o Conversion (Seraphim) will attain maximum effect now.
o Back-breaker (Gladiator) will work as intended once again.
• Fixed: Raane’s Set bonus +xx% to experience gained: the bonus was calculated incorrectly, resulting in an exceedingly high value being added to gained experience.
• Fixed: Awaken Dead. Casting Awaking Dead on Glorb Hunters is no longer exploitable.
• Fixed: Gold overflow. A maximum of 2,147,483,647 gold units may be collected.
• Fixed: Corrected values of Polemides Helm Set (values corrected to +3 for bronze and +4 for silver).
• Fixed: Inactive Water Form as set bonus of the Dark Elf Ethan Rhys Set. In an opponent’s line of sight, Water Form was cancelled; the same occurred when changing to fight mode. Water Form became visibly inactive and opponents would attack.
• Fixed: Experience exploit in connection with Orla-Aisling's Set.
• Fixed: Low-level Shaddar Rim riders (level 1) were adjusted.
• Fixed: Sir Markus of Endlich will no longer rise again once he has been killed; instead, he will dissolve in a particle effect.
• Fixed: 'Chance for open wounds' caused the player-character to substain loss
• Fixed: Hell Golem didn't hit the player's char in higher diffficulties (Platin/Niob)
• Fixed: Spell-values weren't calculated correctly when using daemon-forms (e.g. battle daemon) with other buffs (e.g. Infernal Power)
• Fixed: + % damage-modifier like physical damage weren't affecting some Dwarfen combat arts (Flamer, Grenade, Cannon)
• Some disarmed weapons did not have the correct character class limitations.
• The Bonus Water Form of Ethan-Rhys’ Set did not work as intended (It interfered with other effects previously).
• When quitting an in-game video by pressing space, the character will no longer drink a healing potion.
• The fire will now move towards the character when Purgatory is cast while mounted and no longer requires enemy contact.
• Open Wounds caused a chain reaction regarding damage.
• Missing footstep sounds during some Dwarf animations have been added.
• Sometimes Hard Hit was performed if you cast Mind Control while mounted.
• Nuk-Nuk Chieftain caused no damage while mounted.
• Occasionally occurring woman’s scream during Underworld intro was removed.
• Fixed several quests:
o Fixed rune exploit in connection with the quest The Eye of Hell.
o Eliminated a possible rune exploit in connection with the side quest Paths of Destiny.
o The side quest Whispers in the Wind is no longer repeatable, even if the goldberries appear repeatedly. A related exploit has been fixed.
o The reward modification for the side quest The Leader has been significantly increased.
o Once the side quest The Riddle in the Desert has been successfully completed, the fanfare will no longer sound when opening remaining vases.
o The key that is received during the side quest The Riddle in the Desert will now display correctly in the inventory.
o The side quest The Monster in the Forest has been balanced for mages. The golem in single player mode is no longer a boss enemy and should therefore no longer pose an insurmountable difficulty.
o Fixed a bug that prevented some players from finishing the side quest Cattle Rustlers.
o Once the quests Goods Messenger and Ronin have been completed, the quest givers will no longer display quest icons above their heads.
o The Elven priestess for the quest Elf Escort would disappear under certain circumstances, thus rendering players unable to solve the quest. This has been resolved.
o In order to complete the quest The Robber’s Camp you must collect the tunic now.
o The quest The Riddle in the Desert will fail now if you open a wrong vase.
o The mage start quest at the stone circle could not be finished if the Ghoul was killed from outside the circle.
o In the quest “The Hag in the Tree” the witch didn’t defend herself. Now she is a boss opponent.
