Robot Entertainment now offers patch notes for a new version of Orcs Must Die! 2 that's now automatically available through Steam for the action/strategy sequel (thanks nin). They say: "We wanted to thank everyone who's been on the forums helping us identify issues and find repro steps for various bugs. We've still got more fixes in the works, but this first patch should tackle a wide array of some of the most common problems and issues." Here are the patch notes:

Fix for baricades on MirrorImage

Trap grid/pathing adjustments in various levels

Fixed a conflict with Shield Orcs and Spring Traps that caused the orcs to not be thrown properly

Fixed the drop down menu for video options so that it wouldn't extend off the screen

Fix for kill amount bonus skulls getting regranted on level retry

Adjustments to the UI to address postgame hitches

Fixed the 100% CPU problems

Adjusted anti-aliasing options in menu to display an "Off" setting.

Fixed combo point bug with the Grinder. It now awards combo points properly.

Voice packet tweaks for in-game chat.

Fixed Bilebat perma-puke.

Various localization and string changes.

Adjustments to Mouse Sensitivity slider to broaden the range of sensitivity

Worked on a bug that would occasionally cause the Sorceress's charge attack to fizzle out inappropriately. There are still edge cases that we'll continue to investigate, but this should largely fix the issue.

Fix for special characters in leadboard display names

Fixed a bug that prevented Bilebats from shooting through Boulderchutes

Added an option to use the command "NoAlienFX" in user.cfg to de-activate keyboard light effects for the game. This also may fix some game launch issues for Alienware users.

Added an option to use the command "-voice" in user.cfg to disable in-game voice chat entirely. Once the game's Voice Chat is disabled, players can use Steam's voice chat options.

If you're unfamiliar with how to create a user.cfg file for your game, you can find the instructions here:

Game is fantastic, having a blast with it. Working on solo Nightmare runs now that War Mage difficulty is complete! People were riffing on the solo balance but its about the same as the first, there are just less tutorial style levels that prepare you for them which is fine with me. It's forced me to think outside the box a bit (more vertical trapping for example) and setup much cooler killboxes. I had no idea you unlocked a new move when you beat the game either, that was a nice surprise. Yeah that move does help a lot in Nightmare, which I'm doing a solo run too and will only advance a level once I get 5 skulls per level. Great game, picks everything that is good on OMD1 and improves it ten-fold and adds stuff that improves the game even more. So, who holds the record wave for Endless in the first level? Wave 39 for me, so damn close now to the 5 skulls.
