This patch addresses some issues regarding saving of data, that could lead to a softlocked gamestate if the player hard exits the game inbetween certain stages of gamestate and saving.
- The arena console will no longer save twice after the first engagement, to avoid broken save states.
- Updated logic on certain gameobjects in many scenes, so that they don't save too early and create a temporary broken save.
- The banner with links now show up-to-date content from Rain.

ACTION, RRRRRROMANCE (spelled like Provence) and MAD SCIENCE!
Discover the award winning, gaslamp fantasy world of “Girl Genius™”, experiencing Agatha Heterodyne’s story, as she navigates the hostile hallways, catacombs and kitchens of her ancestral home, Castle Heterodyne.
As the Lost Heir in the family lineage, she must repair the ancient fortress to its ancient glory, and take the throne as a "True Heterodyne". Only then can she stand up to the might of the Wulfenbach Empire and the other wild forces of Europa that are trying to take control and subjugate its people. But first, she has to contend with a corrupt sentient AI controlling the castle, the very
pink villain Zola Malfeazium that is intending to take the castle for herself, and spiky deathtraps and pits of doom at every corner.
What could
possibly go wrong?
