Iron Danger - patch update v1.01.08 release notes

Common changes, apply to all the places where such an element is in use

BUGFIX: Automaton movement was jerky when he tried to watch characters and walk at the same time
BUGFIX: AI - You could get different rewind results by casting fireball to an unaware enemy and rewinding backwards and not casting the fireball. Enemy still spotted you like you would have cast the fireball.

PERFORMANCE: Performance optimizations in player character pathfinding when there were element effects on screen. You could sometimes get bad performance spikes when hovering inside such areas.
PERFORMANCE: Performance optimizations in NPC pathfinding for distant NPCs

IMPROVEMENT: Automaton no longer can use interactable props, like eat Roosterfish for healing
BUGFIX: Enemies could sometimes stay hidden inside ground even though they were actively fighting against the player characters.

BUGFIX: Troll hunter achievement was not awarded if the player rewound the game just after killing a troll.

IMPROVEMENT: Finishing blow and the Finisher skills:
Can now also be used against swamped and frozen enemies
Targeting improved so that if a character was prone, swamped or frozen when action started, they'd receive the damage even though they'd lose status effect before dealing the damage. Also, not allowed to target characters without such status effects anymore.
IMPROVEMENT: Minor tweak to reduce the amount of situations where the enemy is able to just get a bit out of reach when you are attacking.
IMPROVEMENT: Disabled interactable props no longer show prediction of their usage (such as some levers in Sunken Temple)
