Hi everyone,

In this quick hotfix, we focused on some bugs that appeared with the previous physics changes:

Physics

  • Muscle progression wasn't always triggering when spending stamina, it is now fixed

  • Stealing an ennemy weapon was sometime not updating the weapon's owner, and such forbidded you to hit the ennemy with it. It is now fixed.

  • Unsheathing your weapons now should feel less janky

Optimization

  • Applied more foliage optimization to outdoor maps

Balancing, Weapons & Armors

  • Added gambesons to Peasant tier

Sorry for the inconvenience, and we shall see you very soon for more fixes and tweaks,

Thank you again for your support and patience,

Half Sword team
