## *"Hotfixes"*

### Release date

July 9, 2015

The **1.3.0.4** patch fixed a number of bugs, several multiplayer.

## Changes

* In addition to the fixes to Medusa's line of sight, she now makes sound and emits particles when petrifying players.
* Cactus Dresser and Pumpkin Dresser now both require the Sawmill to craft.
* Skeleton Mage Banner and Spider Banner have been renamed to accurately reflect against which enemies they will Buff you in combat.
* Enemies should no longer count towards tally counters / banners if no player has touched them before they died (i.e. random enemy deaths by lava pool no longer count).
* When dropping a Banner, enemies will now give the banner to the last player to hit them rather than the nearest player.
* "Dye Hard" now really requires having all of the equipment slots include Dye, rather than just armor/accessory slots.
