Patches and boss fixes
October 16 hotfix: crash fixes, a pop-up for outdated GPU drivers, a save fix after the Chapter 4 boss, a Chapter 12 progression block, and Volunteers that stopped attacking after a backstab. If you played the demo or playtest and the game stutters, delete AppData\Local\ValorMortis\Saved\Config\Windows\GameUserSettings.ini.
October 21 patch: enemy and boss hitboxes now match their animations, damage windows were tuned (Risen Duelist, Eternal Guardsman, Howler and others), and Risen Sapeur and Risen Lancer windups are easier to read. Boss fixes:
| Boss | Fixed on October 21 |
|---|---|
| The Iron Marshall | Fixed getting stuck if you and he died at the same moment, him turning while dying, and falling through the floor after a grenade kill. |
| Sphinx, Devourer of the Unworthy | Fixed muted audio after pausing and her stopping attacks when staggered by fire. |
| The Slaughtermill | Fixed a camera lock in phase one and a phase-transition bug when pulling the doors during Windpush. |
| Anna, the Bride Drowned in Tears | Fixed her stopping attacking or vanishing after teleporting; the rock-pile cheese was removed. |
| High Justicar Aurelius, Last of the Faithful | Fixed him stopping attacking and the fight ending after phase one. |
| The Orphan | Fixed disappearing during the transformation cutscene and stasis effects carrying across phases. |
| Captain Raphael of the Nephtis Superioris | Rebalanced blocking and stagger, steadier movement and shooting, and a fix for a double-death progression block. |
| The Entity, Voice of the Void | Several fixes: lingering Flame and stasis effects, a floating Claymore, vanishing during teleports, walking while attacking. |
