haha yeah that sounds about right, the whole game, until I restarted had this. even props that I haven't broken, like glass railings and such, started breaking on their own and joined the chronon cool aid river. I almost didn't wanna restart
Reminds of the bug I had in assasins creed 2, well before game recording software was a fad, I had this glitch where everytime I killed a guard, he would split into 2 alive guards.
I kept doing it until I had a screen full of guards and 5 fps
Upcoming Patch 1.1.4.0 - gameplay changes.
Hey guys - we are taking in all your feedback from the forums here as well as emails.
Below are the changes we intend to introduce with the upcoming patch.
Balance and gameplay changes:
- Increased cap for experience gained on all difficulties
- Added a significant bonus for experience gained on difficulties higher than normal
- Slightly decreased large and special enemies' HP on difficulties higher than normal
- Added negative stats cap for high level upgrades
- The number of auras for a single enemy is capped to 1 on difficulties below 'Insane tier 2'
- Base physical resist lowered. This change affects all difficulty levels
- After finishing missions for the second time, instead of Skill Points the player now receives a powerful new currency called 'Orbs of Masamune'. The number of Orbs depends on the difficulty level. A new set of violent challenges will be added to the game soon. Players finishing these challenges will be able to imbue Smith's Anvil with power to greatly improve weapon stats. Orbs of Masamune will play crucial role in this proccess.
- Crafting option is now available always after a player unlocks it in the first playthrough
- Items in shops unlocked by story progress are now available always after a player unlocks them on the first playthrough
Well..it looks like they are trying to fix the mess they've made in the last patch.
However..challenges? I don't want challenges..I want new content...preferably with a unique level design..
I have a feeling that for the next few weeks, we will be constantly playing different version of their "vision".
stealth early access mode activated, I guess. not bad, but I do wish they did like dx:md, and left older patches in the beta branches, to prevent forum flooding as the build changes make some happy and some angry.

Almost finished the game but no way yet I want to patch it at this point. Seems VERY solid apart from one map near the end where as I jumped up I got stuck inside the map.. First time but not a major deal so restarted from last known save point and just Vanished to the spot I left off. Man I really love all the weapons.. New Chainguns and Gauss Rifles at the end ==

@Drowning_witch
You can disable patching for specific games on Steam I believe. Sadly you cannot roll back to a previous version.
within steam? you can only set it to update when you run it, it doesn't prevent it.
it's still fun, it just feels different now. combat looks cooler and is faster, at the expense of challenge. less gem juggling and no need for a full set of different weapons.
Annnndd... DONE! Through and Through.. incredible experience.. SOOO MANY WEAPONS!
Not sure how I missed two side missions as I played everything.. Ah well...
Everything came down to Plasma Grenade Launcher (wow!), Gauss Rifle (both old and new), and the Mass Weapons.. adding Gems/Upgrades really extends things so nicely.. love that kind of config. I mean, all holstered weapons got used but some of the damage on those final tier ones were.. wow...
Want addon DLCs.. NOW!

Shame you can't blow a hole through the nether region of enemies with a shotgun, far as I've tried at least on Yakuza's and what not as pointing the shotgun at the genital region (Well yes I know it says general.) of the enemy would have been funnier that way.
(No wangs were harmed in the making of this game I guess...)

Just finished it myself. after a bad start, the game grew on me. as a complete package, it's lacking, but the combat itself, just amazing. While doom 4 is a better game, the melee combat here saves it for me.
Spoiler:
didn't manage to level up enough to reach t4 insane, but it was still very challenging and hectic in the best of ways. after seeing the credits roll, it really shows that they hired a playtesting company.
The guys even fully credited all the original shadow warrior 1997 devs.
If they add more tile sets and improve their randomization algorithms, as well as add some more difficulties + something like paragon leveling, they have an arpg fps king on their hands.
8.5 for me. 10 for the melee combat, 6.5 for everything else. i pretty much enjoyed the sidequests the most, and the game shines in this setting. just throw a good random level and some combat, and it's amazing. as a story sequel to the first game, it flops.
