Good Heavens! Hotfix v0.8.53 Clears Up Save Bugs and Armor Glitches

Good Heavens! rolls out hotfix v0.8.53 to fix major save file issues on partially opened chunks, resolve Ashot spawns, and correct armor potion scaling. The update also brings questgiver adjustments and multiplayer fixes.

Developer support for Good Heavens! continues with hotfix v0.8.53, targeting several gameplay bugs that slipped through previous updates. Players experiencing missing base items, broken multiplayer abilities, or unbalanced consumables can expect relief with this patch.

Save Safety and Multiplayer Fixes

The patch addresses an issue where partially opened chunks would strip away placed objects upon saving and reloading. Multiplayer sessions also benefit from a fix for the Fortify ability, which previously failed to function correctly for clients. Additionally, the Mac version of this hotfix is scheduled for release tomorrow.

Combat and Progression Adjustments

Armor potions no longer apply double-time removal rates to player armor. Combat encounters also see a fix for the Evernight effect, which now properly removes after players defeat the final boss of Act 1. For progression, questgivers now accept higher-quality versions of identical items to fulfill turn-ins.

World Spawns and Localization

Ashot spawns are fixed after failing to appear due to an issue stemming from yesterday's patch. Minor text errors and localization keys have also been cleaned up across the game.

Why this patch matters

Hotfix v0.8.53 delivers stability to multiplayer sessions and item interactions for active players.
