v0.11.4 — No more blank heroes

A short release built around one fix that matters more than its size suggests.

Highlights

A failed load never overwrites your hero

Until now, if the cloud load of a character slot failed for any reason — a dropped connection, a slow response, a hiccup on the server — the game quietly fell back to a brand-new level-1 hero in that slot. If the autosave then ran, it could write that blank hero over your real one.

That path is gone. A load now ends in exactly one of four ways: it succeeded, the slot is empty, the save is incompatible, or something went wrong. On anything other than success the game shows a warning with Retry and Cancel, and the slot is never claimed for play until a load has actually succeeded. There is no fallback character anymore, so there is nothing that could be saved over yours.

Ring uniques with their own faces

Ring of Embodiment and Stone of Absurdity were still wearing plain ring art. Both have their own icons now — in your bag, on the paperdoll, in the Armory and on the wiki’s uniques page.
