It took quite a while, but finally the new patch for Xeres’ Return has been released. It fixes most of the reported issues and so fixes some quests and other problems. Savegames of previous versions are compatible, but to take full advantage of all changes you need to start a new game or at least ensure you haven’t entered the changed worlds.

As usual the update is available on Spine.
