Fixes:

• Fixed clients being unable to purchase items from vendors in some cases
  
• Player will properly return to Manto-Derith if they skip the credits
  
• Mac and Linux users should now have the proper build version, allowing them to play with PC players and also fixes many issues such as black screen from vendors
  
• Fixed players getting stuck in the sewers under the Cutlass
  
• Fixed companion cantrips not showing any visual effects (Note: still broken in RoD content)

Workaround for Linux Audio Issues
Please follow the below steps and your audio should start working again:

• 1. Quit Steam.
  
• 2. Using your terminal or your explorer window, go to this folder: ~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/
  
• 3. Rename the alsa-lib folder to alsa-lib_TEMP
  
• 4. Rename the libasound.so.2.0.0 file to libasound.so.2.0.0_TEMP
  
• 5. Rename the libasound.so.2 file to libasound.so.2_TEMP
  
• 6. Using your terminal or your explorer window, go to this folder: ~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
  
• 7. Repeat steps 3 through 5
  
• 8. Start steam
  
• 9. Start the game

This issue is not unique to SCL, and you can find further discussion here:
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/4139

We have a few fixes coming your way today:

• Fixed journal showing in English for non-English languages for base SCL content (RoD strings will still appear in English)
  
• Added XP rewards to RoD quests (oops!)
  
• Fixed an issue that could cause characters to float above the ground when moving up/down ramps

We're also working on audio fixes and version mismatching for Linux players. I'll post the details on those fixes when we're ready to deploy them.

Thanks!

Greetings, Sword Coast community!

Since the launch of Sword Coast Legends on October 20, 2015, we’ve released two Community Update Packs on schedule. These community packs were entirely free and consisted of highly requested features, such as: playable drow elves, companion skill trees, hundreds of new placeable objects, additional monster abilities, character respecs, and much more ( https://swordcoast.com/content/sword-coast-legends-state-game ). Some elements of CP3, such as the introduction of mod support, were actually introduced earlier than expected.

When we published our State of the Game back in late October our intent was to release another free community update pack in December of 2015. December has come and gone, so where is CP3? At this point, CP3 is currently on hold while the team focuses on the Rage of Demons expansion, which now includes some bits we had originally thought to package with CP3.

We understand that people will be disappointed by this decision, but Rage of Demons is quite large and boasts a brand new adventure complete with new areas to explore, new placeable objects, a new playable race (Tieflings), new creatures, new bosses, new spells, a new playable Warlock class, WASD movement and much, much more.

Apologies for any frustration or confusion this has caused. Development is fluid! Know that the best is yet to come for SCL. We can’t wait to share what we’re working on in 2016!

Here are some new WIP screens of Rage of Demons!
