Actually the number is quite possibly 4294967296 (2^32). Maybe a little less if the randomization is sufficiently limited as to generate exact duplicates with the same seed. If a single seed is used, then all aspects of the game are dependent on this single number, which is 32 bits wides, typically. If multiple seeds are used, then the number of combinations would be 2^(32*n), where n is the number of different seeds.

A BAD case of programming.

More a bad case of not playtesting the game. Many of these issues would've been caught easily if they had any time to do so.

Can we seriously get some build numbers here? What's the latest build number? I just hear magical patches with incomplete listings with little detail, so I really don't know if I am on the latest one despite being on steam. Some things are fixed, some aren't, some were fixed by the community, some weren't.

Is this ver 1.31 build 6246? Thanks!

That is an excellent idea. If we could get a build for Patch 1, Patch 2, etc. I will note that in the bugs thread as well.

keep them coming

Anyone else having problems with inventory after the patch? The "big view" will not scroll for me. Also, rage skills doesn't do any damage and pauses the battle afterwards.
Both of these happened with pre-patch saves after the patch.

Some more lovely "Start a new game fixes". I feel dirty for having bought this bug filled game

I've restarted the game so often I've never been to Demonis. Why is the game logic kept in the save files anyway?
