Welcome to the ever so slightly late Revival 1.5b2 mod.
Botmaster's chest fix has been added, and Moloch now spawns in the Ancient Blood levels again.
New optional movement speed increases have been added: from +25% to +100%. They don't combine with each other.
The upgrade and reroll cube recipes have been removed due to low success rates, but the gambling cube recipes are still available at the Holborn Station guard near the healer.
Release notes:Release Notes
This patch is far from complete, but is a milestone release in the Revival 1.5 beta branch. A new massive amount of content has been added, including Mythic and Doubled Edged item qualites, over 15 items from the Stonehenge and Abysss expansions and a wealth of cube recipes that can be used in conjuction with 'gambling' tokens, purchased from the gambling vendor in Holborn Station.
As always with the beta releases, don't get too attached to your characters because things will change between updates that might make your characters incompatible. New changes from the 1.5a release are marked with a + and removed changes are marked with a -. Chances are I have forgotten a few changes, these will be noted on the forum as they are recalled.
As always, thank you for your support and patience. This has taken us a really long time, and there is still so much to do. But for now, please enjoy!

Important note:
If you get any errors while trying to start the installer above, make sure you have the .Net Framework 4.0 installed.
[quote="Microsoft]The Microsoft .NET Framework 4 redistributable package installs the .NET Framework runtime and associated files that are required to run and develop applications to target the .NET Framework 4.[/quote]
Installer fixes:
All users who experienced problems due to the "," and "." delimiters can now install the patch without the need to switch their cultural settings to "American"
The "Key already present" exception was fixed
Patch package related info:
Some original 1.5b features were converted to optional mod packages (e.g. Monster Information Display)
Additional optional mods were added (Increased Fire Rate, Fawkes Event, Expanded Storage Mod, Purchaseable Retrainers, No Faction Requirements...)
Patch related info:
Fixed a crash-bug when trying to identify the new Doompulse rocket launcher (correct item name might still be missing)
Fixed values of some of the community items
Returned mind-control items to their original state. All mind-control items will only spawn in their regular (white) and their unique versions. Both versions are NOT augmentable!
Reason for the mind-control item reroll:
Mind-control items don't deal any damage so most of the available weapon augmentations and random affixes are pretty much useless for them. These will only increase the feed costs but won't have any useful effects on the weapon itself.
Known problems:
Summoner starter weapon damage display says 0-0 but deals normal damage.
