Quick take
* Trophy drop chance is now increased by star level of monsters * Pseudo-random drop logic will no longer be reset between player sessions to give a more fair distribution for rare drops * Fixed a possible exploit to Forge of Potential * Reset the cheated flag on all items and build pieces from previous versions, to undo the damage done by a bug in the initial 1.0 release that marked some validly obtained items as cheated. * Fixed bug that caused Cheat Sword and Cheat Sledge to not be considered cheated in specific cases * Fixed dedicated server running at uncapped frame rate if v-sync was enabled in client on the same computer, wasting massive amounts of CPU time * Adjusted attachment points for sheathed weapons * Xbox One/Xbox Series S|X: Fixed settings failing to save between sessions for some users
