- B12 is a big one with an overhaul of the animation system, reworked and some new animations, a major performance improvement to pathing, which has been the cause of some people's stuttering issues and many other changes. We expect to roll that out in a week or two.
- It is still going to be a few months at least before we can release Act 2 and we don't have a firm date for that yet.
- It is August and we have to announce a delay, a significant one. I apologize for that and we are working hard to ensure that Grim Dawn will be worth your wait. Under the circumstances, we are also planning to alter our release schedule somewhat to compensate so that access to the game is no longer tied to specific development milestones, which I'm not sure really made sense to begin with. Instead, it will be more like earliest, earlier, early access.
Currently the content for B12 is done and we're just working on a couple lingering bugs.
It has been taking a while to get it to a release-ready state because there were so many big changes. Most notably those aimed at improving pathing performance have required a lot of additional fixes. Pathing interacts with many different systems, from character and enemy movement to targeting, to spawn placement, to where UG doors place the character upon entering / exiting. Making fundamental changes to such an integral system can require a lot of clean-up. A couple times we've thought we were good to go and then found additional issues. We don't want to release a patch knowing it will introduce significant new bugs.
So, it could really be any day now but we won't know until we get there.
