Neocore Games has just released a new patch for their highly-acclaimed The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing action RPG title.

Patch version 1.1.22 is now live on Steam, so those who already have the game installed on their computers will probably notice their content is downloading for Van Helsing.

Developers have been working hard to fix some issues with the multiplayer side of the game, so those who are into the multiplayer should expect lots of improvements and tweaks.

Multiplayer:

- Fixed a bug where you could connect twice to the same host; - You can join back to the host properly after an unexpected disconnect; - Slow attacks are more accurate (like the attack of the Lesoviks); - Spells move properly on the client's side (like the fire tornadoes); - Potions have effect on client side; - Monsters no longer freeze up after they die; - The video plays for the client correctly after leaving the Orichalcum Mine; - Fixed an item duplication bug; - The Sphere of Timelessness don’t cause lag anymore.

But these are not the only changes added via this patch. Lots of general improvements have been included as well. Check out the rest of the update's changelog below:

- Quest markers automatically disappear when the quest is finished; - The sound plays correctly during cutscenes on a 2 or less CPU machines; - Some of the objects no longer get stuck in animation after a save/load at the Palace of Machines; - Fixed a bug where in some special cases, the player could not teleport out from the Palace of Machines after beating Fulmigati; - The sell the whole stack function (ctrl-right click) correctly works for Katarina; - Fixed an area calculation bug with the comboboxes on lower resolution level; - Fixed some UI text alignment errors; - Windowed mode no longer leaves artifacts on the screen.; - The Bridge overcharge regulator works correctly; - Friendly spell effects no longer appear on certain NPC-s (for example Arcane Healing on the mayor in Markovna); - Fixed some sound problems; - Teleporting is no longer possible during loading; - Katarina's Go Shopping button activates properly when she comes back to “life;” - Katarina copies made by the Ghostly Mirage trick no longer drop potions.

Last but not least, developers introduced a new game feature in the form of a floating text message that will appear on the screen when players fail a quest.
