Summer hotfix: Relic descriptions did not appear

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

Summer Update Hotfix #1 fixes some item descriptions being invisible, specifically Relics. It also makes Whimsy Wand’s full shape visible on its card and classifies both Whimsy Wand and Sunlight Wand as wands. These are the documented display and classification changes. [1]

Resolved

Summer update: burn resolved at the wrong point in shield loss

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The same patch changes burn resolution so it takes effect before enemies lose their shield. Compare the expected order with that patch note when checking an interaction that previously relied on the old behavior. [2]

Resolved

Summer update: custom-scaled modded items changed scale on reload

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The Summer notes fix modded items with a custom sprite scale reloading at the wrong scale. They also fix certain modded components and relics appearing too low on the screen. These changes describe the affected rendering cases rather than a promise of compatibility for every mod. [2]

Resolved

Summer update: relics, pets and some modded items failed to spawn

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The Summer update fixes relics and pets not spawning, including modded relics. It also fixes unique or relic items failing to spawn when another item with the same name already existed. Keep that duplicate-name condition when identifying a recurrence. [2]
