The Slormancer update 0.4.6 is now rolling out for PC players. According to the Slormancer patch notes, the latest update addressed performance issue and bugs for The Great Forge.
Previously, a major update was released with various quality of life improvements. Unfortunately, many players are still experiencing several issues while playing the game. Today’s Slormancer patch 1021 will fix a few of these issues.
Check out more details below.
The Slormancer Update Patch Notes – October 11, 2022
Performances Issues
- Neriya’s Shield and any effect applying Chill to enemies.
- Arcane Clones casting Ray of Obliteration
- Vindictive Slam.
Balance Changes
Ray of Obliteration
- The range of Ray of Obliteration cast by Arcane Clones has been reduced by about 25%.
Vindictive Slam
- Vindictive Slam can no longer be triggered on enemies already being targetted by a Vindictive Slam Hammer.
- There is now a small delay between Vindictive Slams so that multiple Vindictive Slams do not fall at the same time.
The main issue with Vindictive Slam is the amount of Hammers landing which is clearly too high, despite the change listed above. We will figure out a way to balance it, but later.
However, the main issue performance-wise was that when multiple Vindictive Slams were triggered during the same frame, they would all land and deal AoE damage at the exact same frame as well, freezing the game for a short time. Which should no longer occur.
That being said, and until we’ve made proper balance changes, low-end configurations will probably still struggle to run the build.
Bugs fixed
