This patch is part of the 1.3.x branch (e.g., v1.3.18), which introduced optimizations for particle effects and rendering, improving FPS.
Despite this patch, some players noted that the game suffered from bugs such as graphical glitches in pit fights, and challenges with managing large rosters during intense fights.
Following its removal from Steam on September 1, 2022, the developer posted an executable-only version (v1.3.28) on their website.
Note: The game was removed from Steam due to the developer including personal rants and content deemed offensive in the official patch notes.
