I really hate that they don't give details on what fixes were made. I know of a few PC specific bugs, which I've reported, but damn if they're not fixed.
 
leaderboards fixed? I am still at 2 / 0
while my actual win loss ratio is 748 / 23 on the ranked leaderboards
it got reseted

My save is gone and my backups aren't being recognised either, not saying this will be the case for all, just a heads up.

Yeah this patch will delete your save data and my old backups will not be recognized. I can't get the game to recognize the correct resolution either. more broken stuff

I want Kronika to step on my face
Is it true that the game becomes unplayable after the patch because of a wrong resolution setting?

EDIT: This is what's happening for people when after they install the patch, the game zooms to the top left corner and you can't zoom it out:

Nuff said. Hope they get it right this time.

For people with the giant screen issue, this cleared out for me once I hit ALT-Enter to go into windowed mode, then rebooted the game. Worked for me, hope it will for you.
