+Forum announcement  //2024-12-16
+==================
+Hello fellow adventurers,
+
+we have finally fixed that nasty bug which could freeze the game during combat (when you play with Animation=Off and Combat=Instant)
+
+There is no new content beside the tiny little thing with the drunken guards in the taverns of Crossglen or Fallhaven.
+
+Nevertheless please check this beta and try if it is working as expected: [url]https://andorstrail.com/static/AndorsTrail_v0.8.12.1beta.apk[/url]
+
+So long!
+---------------
+Here is is the link on our server: [url]https://andorstrail.com/static/AndorsTrail_v0.8.12.1.apk[/url]
+Google Play and Itch will follow soon - and F-droid too this time.
+
+Note: The first start might take long, maybe even minutes. Be patient, world map files are generated. This is only on first start.
+
+And now: Happy playing!  :D
+
+
+
 APK 78 (0.8.12)  "Towards Feygard" or "Of kobolds, fae, witch and troll"
