Aye think it's safe to say the online component needs some work. :lol:

My disconnect was a CTD, sort of. Just exited to desktop, no message or anything.

Seemed to be running out of sync. Tried healing Raptor but his health didn't go up, not according to the little bar anyway. Movement little laggy but not bad, seemed like it just had trouble keeping track of player actions.

Might be an idea to not mess with it too much though. Not trying to skip things and maybe not murdering non-enemies might keep it a little more stable for a while. Other people can get further along in the game than we did at this point. :hmmm:

A fair warning it seems I run into one nasty Bug

if you Host Multiplayer there's a chance your Adventure saves are wiped afterwards so Back-em-up.

at least I lost my Single player Save file after hosting for a short while yesterday as I launched magicka today and noticed all 3 adventure slots where wiped clean :damn:

*mutters* Dammit....:shifty: can start over again.

Also a good thing to note that his online session was a lot smoother than ours, so there's hope yet. :DL

Raptor was hosting and the only problem we encountered was that we got stuck at a cutscene, so just had to restart the level.

If that's the one he played with me, it only worked when we avoided randomly murdering (many) civilians, much to our dismay. Though I don't know if that had an effect.

My saves were erased as well, BTW. Though I wasn't very far into the game.

That would be the game, and talking about disapearing saves:

Big patch delivered to steam! Waiting for them to push button.

Thank YOU for being patient with the game!

As we've released new patches we're seeing much fewer reports of the game malfunctioning. More and more players are reporting that the game is working nicely for them. We're also noticing that the problems that exist are A) known and being worked on and B) centered around fewer different things.

As a result we will be opening up a new "Known issues - report your bugs here" thread so we can all get a better overview of existing issues. We'll keep patching the game for the problems you report there that we actually can fix (some problems are not fixable on our end - like people playing with computers with lower specs than the minimum requirements.

Also, there are so many of you posting now that we're having a hard time keeping up. Tweet us if you want to be sure that your message gets through.

Magicka is to get two new challenge maps, “Caverns” and “Marshlands”, each featuring a swarm of monsters that a player must take on with magic violence. You can check out the details of the maps in question in a video, below. However, one map will be free, and one will cost $1.99. Which will be which? Well that’s being decided in a poll just here. Looks like Caverns is the firm favourite, but maybe it’ll turn around for poor old Marshlands.

Only now I realise Neon started a thread on this long before... sorry Neon. :oops:

Anyway, new campaign coming: R’lyeh Good: Magicka: The Stars are Left
