Icewind Dale Patch InfoLike countless PC games before it, Icewind Dale has the major flaw of bugs sweeping over it like a plague. These varied from tiny errors that one could easily ignore to huge bugs that would severly unbalance the gameplay. (-255 Thac0 anyone?) Fortunately for some and sadly for others, the days of exploiting these bugs are now over thanks to the release of the Version 1.05 patch.The list of bug fixes are as follows: PATCH UPDATE INFORMATION VERSION 1.05 ITEMS - Fixed THAC0 reduction effect on the Amulet of Corellon Larethian. - Fixed magic resistance effect on the Shadowed Robe. - Fixed a problem with Nym not giving a dagger to the party. - Fixed an alignment problem with the +4 Life Defender. - Fixed a problem with spells being removed when unequipping the Sanctified Warhammer. - The various badges will now not decay when dropped. - Lonesome Road and other CON-raising items will no longer give a healing side effect when unequipped and then re-equipped.
