Game updates/2016-01-17

Jan 17 Hotfix

This update tests our new hotfix system, so the patcher shouldn't have to download anything new -- the game itself will download the necessary hotfix. You can tell that it's working right in two ways: you'll see a message about "January Hotfix B" at the bottom of the login screen, and if you look at a Strange Dirt item in game, it has an exclamation mark on the end of the description. (This is, of course, overpowered and just for testing; the exclamation mark will be removed in the next major update.)

Fixes

- Sandstorms in the desert no longer look like deer

- The "/redeem rafflers" redemption couldn't be used

- The "/redeem IAmSoOld" redemption for returning players has been extended for a few months

- Item dispensers could be made to sell more than they were supposed to be able to hold

- The cow treasure effect "of cowhide" was giving more armor than intended

Also, these two fixes weren't actually in the last update but are live now:

- If you logged out as a raven, your raven-ness will have been dispelled when you log in as a side-effect of the above bug-fix

- If you logged out as a giant bat, your giant bat form was dispelled and re-applied, which might mean you now look like a bat
