Summary

Boss & Combat Fixes

This hotfix primarily targets the Vision of the Observer encounter, addressing several bugs that could lead to the fight becoming uncompletable. Specifically, high burst damage will no longer cause the Shade and Omens to become simultaneously invulnerable. Additionally, health reduction during phase transitions has been corrected, and Omens can no longer be damaged before they fully emerge.

Technical & UI Improvements

A significant quality-of-life fix has been implemented for players using custom keybinds, as the interaction button will now correctly allow for item pickups. The update also includes a potential fix for server disconnects occurring when players transition to new instances.

Known Issues

Developers are aware of a progression blocker in the campaign following the crafting tutorial. A temporary workaround involves backtracking to the previous zone and returning; a permanent fix is expected in the next update.
