Many players will be pleased to hear that we've found and fixed the bug that sometimes prevented Totems from attacking nearby monsters. This will be included in the next patch.
What was the bug? I'm so curious
This one was really subtle.
There was a small struct that contained a pointer to one of it's own members inside it. If it was to be copied, then the copy would have a pointer pointing in to the old object which is bad. However, there wasn't any reason to copy the struct.
A copy of this was instanced as a temporary and accidentally passed by value instead of by reference to another function. In windows and in linux without optimisations, it worked. In linux with optimisations enabled the buggy behaviour surfaced and would cause the target searcher to think it had already found a valid target (and thus would terminate before finding a real one).

By "in Linux" do you mean running the game in Wine? 'Just wondering.

Johnathan does this also affect the reduced range that the totems now have?
