Edge of War Patch Notes — October 3, 2024
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
The war in the Northlands is a hairy business. And also beard-y. This update brings beards onto the warrior's faces.
New features:
- Facial hair is now available for human and peycko males.
- Facial hair can now be selected for characters in character creation.

Changes:
- Updated NPC and PC character appearances. Many now have facial hair, and there are also adjustments in character heights, skin color and such.
- Some tweaks on visual appear of both PC and NPC portraits.
- Disabled non-functional portrait selection arrows in character creation.
- Disabled hair color selection for Hirwio, as it had no effect for them.
- Some adjustments on inventory character lighting
- Big batch of inventory icons (especially for wearable equipment) was changed.
- Adjustments on some frog damages, which were bit over the top after previous damage changes.
- Improved portrait generation to have better camera distance for peycko and hirwio portraits.
Bugfixes:
- Opening inventory screen in world map caused PC portraits with wrong lighting
- Empower Vaeki - skill had some errors happening on background, which could lead to it not working properly in all cases.
- Set of smaller bug fixes in character creation to fix things like characters losing their hairs when switching race or gender.
