Maschinen-Mensch, the developer of Curious Expedition 2, recently released a new update that fixes tons of bugs and adds small tweaks. One tweak is related to some players having difficulty with certain types of enemies. The developer changed the encounter timing of these tougher enemies, which is later, to let players progress through the story.
As mentioned, the update addressed several annoying bugs in the game. It resolved issues like sanity events not working as intended, unable to dismiss characters after doing certain actions, and combat would freeze when the entire party is at zero health.
