I'm really looking forward to that fix. The game likes to crash quite often when I'm playing in a groupe. Website: http://www.emrendil.com TwitchTV: http://www.twitch.tv/emrendil Twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/Emrendil	Posted by Emrendil on Oct 4, 2012, 7:30:47 AM Quote this Post
I've just downloaded the new patch but I don't see the TURBO league option when I create a new character.. Maybe did I miss something? In any case, great patch release rate guys!You rock!	Posted by Boda19 on Oct 4, 2012, 7:45:12 AM Quote this Post

This will be included in the next patch. What was the bug? I'm so curious This one was really subtle. There was a small struct that contained a pointer to one of it's own members inside it. If it was to be copied, then the copy would have a pointer pointing in to the old object which is bad. However, there wasn't any reason to copy the struct. A copy of this was instanced as a temporary and accidentally passed by value instead of by reference to another function. In windows and in linux without optimisations, it worked. In linux with optimisations enabled the buggy behaviour surfaced and would cause the target searcher to think it had already found a valid target (and thus would terminate before finding a real one). Oh god. I haven't done much coding but I remember pointers in C drove me crazy. I could never figure out if I was referring to the thing the pointer was pointing too, or the pointer itself. Especially with references to pointers, or other such shenanigans.	Posted by Malice on Oct 4, 2012, 9:43:09 AM Alpha Member Quote this Post
I was wondering if the soundtrack available now will be updated when the game is out on full release. Anyone knows? IGN: Ignacius Last edited by GuilhermeHQ on Oct 4, 2012, 9:52:27 AM	Posted by GuilhermeHQ on Oct 4, 2012, 9:52:13 AM Quote this Post
" Chris wrote: By the way, I can confirm that based on feedback from the resistance penalty testing league: a) The additive capped resistance system is currently being kept. Others were considered, but ruled out at this stage. This may change in the future. b) The discussed resistance penalties on higher difficulties will be enabled probably next week. c) The penalties will be -0/-20/-40/-60 rather than the -0/-25/-50/-75 that we tested with. We have reduced them in this first version based on feedback, but will evalulate them again later. Does it mean that on merciless our resistance will have whatever value we have after deduction of -75%? So it is possible to have 95% (that's the max, right?) only if you happen to increase your resistance to 170% by passives and items? Could I please suggest having the BASE number (i.e. from passives only) for attributes etc. in brackets just next to the total numbers shown now? It is really annoying having to unequip things to check what values I've got for intelligence, resistances etc. Kudos for the bug-hunting and updates!

Nice to hear, good news! Each patch/announcement another step forward. It might be already asked here but what do you GGG guys say to the class imbalance of the different resistance options for characters in the passive tree? (Like duelist is missing lightning, shadow fire resistance passives which makes them substancially weaker against the big hits from vaal boss)? Any chance here to balancve this out and give all chars the option for each resistance? Hardcore Theorycrafter	Posted by TPxErebus on Oct 4, 2012, 11:19:25 AM Quote this Post
Thanks for the totem fix! Time to go try that Flame totem char again.	Posted by Mitch420 on Oct 4, 2012, 11:40:29 AM Quote this Post
