This patch fixes the bug where the game would try to relaunch itself as Black Closet if run from the local install directory. On Windows, this fully fixes the bug, so you can now start from the exe; on Mac and Linux, you still need to start the game from your library. (This will be fixed in a future version)

A fairly large dump of old upgrades, fixing crashes, adjusting Steam integration, adding translation hooks, and all sorts of other minor things. If you encounter any crashes or problems with the new version, please let us know!

We are currently working on some BIG changes to the underlying game code. This will not add new content, but it will affect the gameplay/strategy, along with changing a lot of technical bits enough that people who had problems with the game in the past may be able to run it in the future. At the moment, these changes are INCOMPLETE and available only to those who intentionally opt into the alpha, which is being updated as we test and work out more details. You can get more information on the current status of the update here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/269010/discussions/0/39218452270828501

Pushing out an update for a rare but annoying error that could happen in some combats. You shouldn't notice anything different in actual gameplay, this is just preventing that one specific crash.
