Thanks :), though fixed Vampirism wouldn't be possible without ESPee's codework :).

None of my playtesters have tried this patch on Windows 8 or with the GoG version, but we have encountered a serious FPS problem with an oldish Windows 7 laptop. We found that turning Particles down/off helped a lot, but in the end he had to use the 1.03.24 executable. This issue seems to occur only on certain systems, and it effects some a lot more than others. I'm not entirely sure whether anything can help or what could be causing it :S, but we will be testing it on another laptop soon.

We did find out some info about it when running it on that laptop though. We went on the Editor and generated a map, then placed loads of Ore Mines everywhere which ended up dropping FPS quite a lot. We turned particles off, went back to the editor and it was all fine until just 1 Fire Elemental was placed on the map, where the game slowed down so much it became unplayable :(. I've no idea why a Fire Elemental (as well as certain other entities it would seem) would drop performance but this issue isn't present in 1.03.24.
