Pillars of Eternity gets Patch 1.03 and Hotfixes

The developer team for Pillars of Eternity has very quickly released Patch 1.03 after a week or so of the game going live, to patch some of the bigger problems that players have found during their adventuring.

Top of the list of the big ticket items are fixes to the double-clicking bug that removes passive abilities such as racial bonuses from the character, as well as erroneous attribute stacking from items, where some of these attributes would become permanent on the character.

The patch will apply retroactively to save games and repair characters created prior to 1.03, so your attributes should be correct after reloading.

There are also balance changes to weapons, such as the cookie-cutter Arbalest being tuned down in terms of damage, while some melee weapons are improved slightly. Spells are tweaked slightly as well, alongside with other fixes such as crashing in Raedric’s Hold.

For the full changelog on patch 1.03 available on Steam, GoG and Origin, go here.

Two hotfixes have also been released in the recent days for some issues introduced after patch 1.03, for problems related to the adventurer hall-created companions being unable to unlock doors & chests, as well as doors not opening due to the Fog of War.

Both hotfixes are already live on Steam, while Steam and GoG users will get the hotfixes soon.
