any idea about it's strength? like at 50 ua it takes out 2 defenses? does it truly 'kill' even after knocking a guy out?
and can it destroy dead bodies? iirc that was the easiest way to kill them was to surround with fresh character bodies

wth with the instant attacking? does it have a large body to path? would dropping toads stop it if in a 1 tile path?

A fresh spawned alt survived the first hit and then knocked out on the second. It will go for the kill on the third hit. Sorry. i was not able to test it further. but i managed to put up 1 defense at least while panicking. I tried placing an invincible horse and a log. it seems it cant destroy the horse so it went for the log instead.
I have vague memories of tying a woman up and throwing her in a dungeon.

Do you know how fast it is, particularly in comparison to run speed 3?

If by "better" you mean washed out, pissed on, then coloured-in blue on paint by a six year old, yes.

I can only assume this is a completely unintentional bug.

Update your client scrub.

It sounds weird that Haven is the only game having trouble with this, but it sure *seems* as though Intel GPUs have a bug in their sign() function.

EDIT: Pushed work-around for the apparent sign() bug. Custom clients can also pull it. I still find it weird, but the problem is most certainly localized to that function.

I'm not convinced it looks better tbh, it looks less defined and sort of blurry and outside seems to look much darker ... maybe it just takes a bit of getting used to.

The stonestead looks bright but again less defined,

And these just look awful!

They've always appeared on all levels.
they didnt in w7. i have a mining buddy and thats practicly all he does. NEVER found a troll in w7 and i think we got down to l3.
Newbie and noob do not mean the same thing.

Neither do figuratively and literally.
