Obsidian Entertainment has just released their 1.04 Patch for Pillars of Eternity, which among other things, will retroactively restore party movement speed, and award the ‘All Stronghold Upgrades’ achievement.
The ‘Kill All Dragons’ achievement will also work properly, as some could be killed indirectly. Shaders should now compile under DirectX 11 properly, and high resolution window-dragging is now a-okay.
The studio now allows gamers to try out the terrifying world of beta patching for themselves should they decide to by opting in on the Betas tab through the Pillars of Eternity property window in Steam. The password for the beta patches is: BETAPASSWORD
Obsidian is looking into letting GOG users into the beta patch process. Visit the official website for the full Patch 1.04 changelog. No more infinite XP from ”bad Stronghold data.” Curses!
Patch 1.05 is ‘targeted for May’ and will let us adjust our character portraits and voice set any time we want, and adding new features and of course bug fixes.
