• The Bug Report button in the main menu options dialog saves a log file which includes the last game log (if any).
  
• Fixed: it was possible to press the Cancel button in the matchmaking screen after a match was found, but before a game server connection was fully established, which resulted in an instant loss. The Cancel button is now hidden during that period.

• Durendal: give bonus to all healing tokens, not only Healing Word.
  
• Warden Pavise: new effect: add 1 to critical hit values.

Client changes and fixes:

• Implemented the Settings menu, including an option for playing full screen. The game will start full screen the first time you run it after this update.
  
• Players receive 100 gold after completing each tutorial challenge and a 200 gold bonus after completing the entire tutorial.
  
• Increased the account creation bonus to 500 gold (from 200).
  
• Made the tutorial challenges easier by lowering the enemy HP to 60 and changing some bot weapons.
  
• Added a new multiplayer bot at rating 2000 (Agnea).
  
• Trinkets like Steel Hilt or Colossus Grip no longer disable the other trinket slot. Instead, they require two trinket slots. Therefore, it is no longer possible to use one of these trinkets with a weapon which disables slots, such as Tyrfing. Also, disabled slots are cumulative now, so when both weapons disable 1 slot (for example, Tyrfing and Svalinn), no trinkets can be equipped.
  
• Fixed: Blessed Band gave +2 defense instead of the stated +3, and the combat log said "gained 1 defense".
  
• Fixed: Tribal Might said "gained 1 weapon damage" in the combat log, instead of the actual 3.
  
• Fixed: unclear description for Beast Fang (it didn't say it only triggers on its own crits).
  
• Fixed: incorrect pop-up description for Shadow Pierce in the Witch tutorial.
  
• Fixed: stuck games if a player lost the connection due to an exceptional event (e.g. the computer rebooting).
  

Game balance changes:

• The Lion: 4 defense down from 5.
  
• Steel Hilt: cannot be used by Assassin anymore.
  
• Merciful Fate: removed damage and crit bonuses.
  

• Don't skip the tutorial! Ironbound should be easy to pick up, but there are some things that are not immediately obvious. It only takes about 15 minutes to go through all 4 tutorial challenges.
  
• Don't jump straight to multiplayer! It's better to play some solo challenges first and get yourself acquainted with the class you're going to use. The first few solo stages are easy to win, and the gold you'll gain will allow you to buy better gear or upgrade your character, which will translate into better chances in online games.
  
• Conversely, if you've defeated a few solo stages but get stuck, try multiplayer. Winning online matches gives you gold that you can use to upgrade your equipment. Also, creating an account (which is required for online play) gives you a gold bonus.
  
• Don't miss the right hand side tabs in the customize character screen. That screen will show your inventory when you open it, but there are two more tabs next to the portrait: Character Upgrades, where you can level up, and Perks, where you can select which character perk is active.
  
• While playing a match, you can open the settings menu by clicking the round button on the left edge of the table (the one with the gears on it). This works during the tutorials too, even if a hint popup is currently showing.
  
• The game window is resizable! If it's partially covered by the taskbar, or too large, or too small, you can resize the window by dragging any corner or edge. There's no full screen option at the moment, but it's coming soon.
