green.
- If your time is greater than your best time your background will be
red.

beginning, either from resetting your character or
completing the campaign.
- You have to play the whole Run on software version 1.0 or later.
- If your time is not valid it will have a gray background.
- Your Best Time will be universal regardless of the character used.
- The Insider Connect Dungeons & Dragons website will show you your

- The Opening Cutscene now plays in attract mode. The sound for it is
controlled by an adjustment that defaults to OFF. The cutscene will play
once every hour and 15 minutes.

parties will not change.

*** FIXED ***
- Level 4 of the Dungeon Crawl said the wrong speech call.
- Fixed an issue that made the Shield lamp not be shown when it should have been.
- Fixed Dark Hold Bonus Round to always award the gold and XP as it should.
- Ball Save Trinkets will now add 3 seconds to ball saves each.
- Fixed Achievements: "Dragon Battles are cool!" and "To 20 and Beyond!".
They should now be achievable.
- Fixed The Dwarves (WHITE 1) attacking during the
starting cutscene. The Dwarves will attack early and
often if you have not saved Diego from Arabel, but
should not attack before the cutscene is complete.
- Attract mode lights will properly resume after cutscene gallery is
closed.
- In Rescue King Raddok, the dungeon can now be reactivated if it times out after defeating Balinor.
- The Up post now delays ball search in effort to stop unnecessary ball
search during cutscenes.
- Fixed cases where you could complete the campaign and the new campaign would not reset properly.
- Fixed an issue where Instructions would be wrong or not show up in
Abandoned Farm (BLUE 2).
- Improved the logic of Abandoned Farm (BLUE 2) so that monsters will
show which shots are lit as they should.
- If you were the Ranger and you had the Occulus Bow (the ranged weapon
artifact) you were not getting the benefit as you should. The 3 arrows
should move less as it ping pongs back and forth.
- The Stealth needed to sneak past the Guardian was easier than designed.
- Improved the logic at the end of the campaign regarding
whether the final mode should restart and whether the
player should be allowed to start one again.
- In Undermountain, ranged attacks can now be used to score Xanathar's
Hurry up.
- In Undermountain, Xanathar's hurry up had incorrect shots. The right
ramp, which is lit, does not award the hurry up. The center ramp, which
was not lit, did. This has been fixed and now the right ramp awards the
hurry up like it should.
- In Undermountain, ranged attacks now have a grace period when shooting
Xanathar. This makes it easier to hit Xanathar's shots with the ranged
weapon.
- In Undermountain, the display effect for Xanathar attacking now correctly
says "Xanathar steals the hurry up!" after failing the hurry up.
- Added Logic so that Ritual of the Chosen gives the same XP and other
awards as the other two ending wizard modes.
- Sometimes clearing a ONE SHOT during a character
selection would not clear it correctly.
- Sometimes during Dungeon Crawl the ball was not held
when you found the Stairs.
- Fixed the HP bars for the party during a fight.
- Shooting Treasure Chest during lit prompts will now do the correct
behavior.
- Fixed an issue where if you tilted while the ball was in the left eject
or the top vuk and you were playing Dungeon Crawl or The Challenge Mode, and you were being prompted to choose a direction, the game would not kick out the ball and would appear to have crashed.
- Removed Lissandra's THE GRAVEYARD AT DRAGONSPEAR CASTLE (Blue 3) success ending speech. It was only supposed to play during failure.
- In THE GRAVEYARD AT DRAGONSPEAR CASTLE (Blue 3), the Inner Loop would blink rapidly if there was a monster on it even if the monster wasn't
about to attack. This has been fixed.
- Double scoring's max time was incorrect leading to it being a bit
shorter than it should be.
- Fixed an issue where if you started a game and then logged in your stats
would not be calculated correctly.
- If you buy Double Scoring from Fizmo it will now start correctly.
- The Max level of Skill shot will start Double Scoring correctly.
- Replay's Lamp Effect has been cleaned up and now excludes important
lights like Extra Ball. This should improve readability during play.
- ACQUIRE LIFEBLOOD ARMOR's (White 3) intro was not playing speech as it
should.
- Fixed an issue where after finding the stairs in Dungeon Crawl the arrow
lights would not show up.
- Instant Info was not showing the initials correctly.
- Achievements will now show up correctly at the end of Instant Info
- (PREM/LE) The Dungeon will go back down when it should at the end of
The Battle of Gauntlgrym, or The Lich of Dragonspear Castle.
- Fixed an issue where if you found the invisible Sammaster in the left
eject at the same time as a Mimic was about to start the game would not
behave correctly.
- Fixed issues where the default Game Play Mode would not be correct if the game was set to Competitive play.
- Changed text in several places from ... TO RAISE DUNGEON to TO ADVANCE so it would be compatible with the PRO and PREMIUM / LE.

be more like the 2014 players handbook.

- In Competition Play you can now only play Dungeon Crawl once per ball.
- The ball will be held during the Unlocked Character, Trinket Award,
Award Artifact and Award Legendary Display Effects.

- Increased the number of Gems from a treasure chest from 3 to 5.
