7. Bug with the idle-state of a character working in the mine after reloading;
8. Actor Vlad getting stuck on the third fair;

14. Animations of Monty walking with a plate in his hands while wearing a miner's costume;
15. Duplication of Louis Surcouf on days 11 and 17 after reloading;
16. Incorrect display of buffs and debuffs after faction locking;

21. Inability to place some furniture items above the stairs;
22. Workbench, wood carving machine, and woodworking machine freezing after reloading;

24. The "The Greatest Diplomat" achievement being unavailable;
25. Bug that caused the second order of monks to not give reputation points with the Church when sending two apprentices;
26. Bug in events with worker selection, that made it possible to send more apprentices than needed, e.g., 2 instead of 1, if the player first chose the option with two and then with one;
27. Edge scrolling no longer works when the store, hiring menu, and journal are open;
28. A bug that caused "-2:" instead of "-1" to be displayed when denying Bandit Knights.

Gameplay changes based on feedback:

• Rewritten the order acceptance description in the second witch's order for clarity;
• Antonio's store is now always open, even if the rest of the store's functionality is locked;
• When sawing a log into planks, workers now take a new log themselves after the old one runs out;
• Free equipment from the main game is transferred to fairs, not just the equipment of Arthur and his apprentice;
• Added information to the election window for complex orders and side quests that these are optional quests;
• Added a hint about the appearance of a separate plaque after opening wooden orders;
• Added an indicator for idle blacksmiths;
• Added animation of Jean-Jacques working at the third fair;
• Added explanations for changing faction relationships when accepting an order and refusing to fulfill an order;
• Fixed some of Monty's animations.
