Patch Version: 384,210

==Performance and Crashes==
* Ongoing optimizations to improve overall performance. 
* Fixed multiple reported crash bugs.
* Potential fix for "GameThread timed out waiting for RenderThread" crash.

==Out Of Memory when Loading (Intel 13th generation CPU's)==

We have identified an issue on some Intel 13th generation CPU's where upon startup the game will display a message about being out of video memory or the crash reporter will pop up referencing an issue with decompressing a shader. If you experience this problem, you will likely also see it in other DX12 games.

If your CPU is overclocked, try setting it back to the defaults. If you're not overclocked or that doesn't work, try installing Intel Extreme Tuning Utility:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/17881/intel-extreme-tuning-utility-intel-xtu.html and lowering your “Performance Core Ratio” from 55x to 54x.

==Achievements & Difficulty Rewards==
* Retroactively fixed several achievements that weren't tracked correctly.
* Retroactively fixed as many difficulty-based rewards as possible. 

DEV NOTE: To unlock difficulty rewards and achievements, you must interact with the World Stone.

==Quality of Life==
* Added all unlocked [[Archetypes]] to [[Wallace|Wallace's]] inventory. 
** If players have unlocked any Secret Archetype (by converting a Mysterious Item into an Engram), he will then sell them for all future characters. If you can start with it, Wallace will sell it.
* Reduced the requirement to obtain [[Revivalist]] Trait. Also included [[Handler|Very Good Boy]].
* Updated [[Nimue]], [[Bedel of the Vaunnt|Bedel (Old Vaunnt)]], and [[Drzyr Replicator|N'Erud Vending Machine]], and [[Bloodmoon Altar|Blood Altar]] to properly keep their items in stock.
* Fixed the [[Damage reduction|Damage Reduction]] calculation in Advanced Stats. While this was a bug, we still wanted to make sure it was at the top of the list because it was giving players incorrect info.
* Reduced [[Multiplayer]] Scaling per player by an additional 5% (from 15% to 10%). This means that in 3 player COOP, all players will now take 10% less damage (5% less per player).
* Increased the chance that [[Cass]] spawns her special rewards.
* Increased invulnerability time on standard Revive by 0.7s to give players a bit more time to react after being revived.
* Experience gained is shared across any distance in multiplayer (previously 40m max range) and to dead teammates.

==Balance==

===General===
* Reduced Vicious enemy [[affix]] from '''33%''' to '''15%'''.
* Reduced Spiteful enemy [[affix]] from '''0-45%''' to '''0-25%'''. This is based on current enemy Health.
* Reduced Thick Skin enemy [[affix]] from '''-15%''' Critical Chance & '''-25%''' Critical Damage to '''-10%''' and '''15%''', respectively.
* Reduced Hearty enemy [[affix]] from '''25%''' Max HP to '''15%''' Max HP.
* Increased {{Type|status|BULWARK}} Damage Reduction from '''6,5,4,3,2% (20% MAX)''' to '''7,6,5,4,3% (25% MAX)'''.

===Armor===
ARMOR OVERVIEW: We made a few tweaks to various armor types to give them unique benefits that were applicable for all difficulties. We felt that the baseline Heavy Armor values (at approximately 35% Damage Reduction) were in a good spot, especially with our recent changes to certain enemy affixes, so we adjusted the other armors to bring them up to par in their own way. Armor-based Damage Reduction is typically the easiest type of DR to get in the game, and due to its importance at higher levels, the lower-value armors were becoming less than desirable.

* Adjusted {{Type|light|Light}} Armor [[Damage reduction#Armor DR|Damage Reduction]] Value from approximately '''15%''' to '''25%'''.
* Adjusted {{Type|medium|Medium}} Armor [[Damage reduction#Armor DR|Damage Reduction]] Value from approximately '''25%''' to '''30%'''.
* Adjusted {{Type|ultra|Ultra Heavy}} Armor [[Damage reduction#Armor DR|Damage Reduction]] Value from approximately '''45%''' to '''50%'''.


* Increased {{Type|light|Light}} Armor [[Movement#Evade|Evade]] Invulnerability by '''2''' [[Movement#Invulnerability_Frames/Evade_window|frames]].
* Increased {{Type|medium|Medium}} Armor [[Movement#Evade|Evade]] Invulnerability by '''1''' [[Movement#Invulnerability_Frames/Evade_window|frame]].
* Increased {{Type|ultra|Ultra Heavy}} Neutral [[Movement#Evade|Evade]] Invulnerability by '''1''' [[Movement#Invulnerability_Frames/Evade_window|frame]].

Armor Evade Value and Stamina Penalty Reference:

* {{Type|light|Light}} [[Movement#Evade|Evade]] (25 Encumbrance or Lower): '''12''' [[Movement#Invulnerability_Frames/Evade_window|iFrames]], '''0%''' [[Movement#Stamina_Cost|Stamina Cost]] Penalty.
* {{Type|medium|Medium}} [[Movement#Evade|Evade]] (26-50 Encumbrance): '''11''' [[Movement#Invulnerability_Frames/Evade_window|iFrames]], '''25%''' [[Movement#Stamina_Cost|Stamina Cost]] Penalty.
* {{Type|heavy|Heavy}} [[Movement#Evade|Evade]] (51-75 Encumbrance): '''10''' [[Movement#Invulnerability_Frames/Evade_window|iFrames]], '''50%''' [[Movement#Stamina_Cost|Stamina Cost]] Penalty.
* {{Type|ultra|Ultra Heavy}}{{sic|Missing Evade text}} (76+ Encumbrance): '''15''' [[Movement#Invulnerability_Frames/Evade_window|iFrames (Flop)]], '''75%''' [[Movement#Stamina_Cost|Stamina Cost]] Penalty.

DEV NOTE: No changes were made to [[Movement#Stamina_Cost|Stamina Cost]] Penalty. These are original values. Additionally, {{Type|heavy|Heavy}} Evade and {{Type|ultra|Ultra Heavy}} Flop have their original [[Movement#Invulnerability_Frames/Evade_window|iFrames]] value as well. The only changes regarding iFrames were to the two lighter Weight Classes.

===Archetypes===
* [[Handler]] Companion and [[Summoner]] Minions gain increased health per difficulty. On Apocalypse, they will have the highest base health.
* Increased [[Challenger|Challenger's]] [[Intimidating Presence]] Range from 10m to 15m.
