At the Aristocrats the event freezes, and I can't progress after... This only happened after the patch.
As well I'm still experiencing stuterring, and i'm only able to experience less stuterring when using Window Mode, but in WM I don't have v-sync for some reason.
I'm playing high at max resolution, have a AMD Phenom II x4 Black Eddition 955 at 3.2 gHz, 4 gig ram ddr3 kingstone and amd 6850 HD, I know it's not much but I should still have better performance.

At Fafnir castle, when you meet the first wizard (wirh 4 or 5 soldiers), using nullify to deny his ground bombs doesn't work. The magic disappears from around his body, but the projectile is still fired.

I know this has been posted before long ago and I've posted a thread, but there seems to be no simple fix and this patch hasn't resolved what is a major issue for me:

When I try to bind anything to right shift, it says "Left Shift" and in game, that action is, indeed, bound to left shift.

Lefties don't have a lot of buttons available to bind, so we need the right shift...

Please, is there any chance there's a workaround for this? Thanks!

By the way, is "Banisher of Horrors" achievement fixed? It wasn't counting progress properly for lots of people, from what I've heard. If not, any atm on the matter?
