Seems like an updated patch for version 1.32 was released two days ago. The change log is to huge to list so here is the link.

Patch Diary 1.32ny

Sorry for the relative silence from our side, we are working day and night for the Gold Edition release. I can't really give you an official ETA, sorry, but what I can tell is that we will release a patch for the latest 1.32 fixing the biggest battle problems (circling characters, hangs on Autobattle, no magic in autobattle and so on), as well as fixing other problems (like not being able to do magic in the first camp after starting the game). Moreover, we were able to accelerate the battle on speed multiplication levels of more than 1 significantly. I just did a test autobattle with 4 combatants on factor 8, and the whole thing was over in no more than 10 seconds.

And we found a signifcant slowdown problem with one of our fixes right before the holidays, which can have an impact of as much as 50% of the frame rate, which is also already fixed in our beta.
More information.

Good question you.
Not that there are no games to play (man... too many are released recently, can't believe I'm saying this) but would be nice to know.

These updates are amazing - don't get me wrong - but what confuses me is why the game isn't being released now, in its current state, instead of last August when it was basically an early pre-alpha. I know I'm far from the first person to ask this, but it still baffles me. It's really starting to look like a game now...

Probably because the budget was spent. Nobody works for free.

I would wait another week to see if this patch needs a hotfix.

Can't, I plan to play Thief next week.

Will post if there are utterly annoying bugs left.
