Seems to be some sort of memory leak in this version, game froze but recovered one my second play through and froze my whole computer, forcing me to restart it on my third. No clue what caused it yet, i'll keep looking.
Game runs a lot smoother now, thanks. Sadly, it seems new things broke because of it. Accelerant doesn't infuse if it immediately combines before getting to land and Virile elixir doesn't create eggplants when cast.
