DS3 UPDATE NOTES
With the restoration of online to DS3, the resulting update is incompatible with ModEngine and other resources used. As the user, you have a few options:
-If you haven't already, not update DS3.
-If you have, downpatch DS3. The link will take you to an instruction page. If you still need assistance or would like a visual guide, see the video section.
-If you don't want to downpatch, wait until ModEngine and this mod are updated.****
****There currently exists an updated version of ModEngine and HoodiePatcher on the ?ServerName? discord. You can find the experimental updated ModEngine dll in the mod-announcements channel by Katalash and the updated HoodiePatcher dll in the tool-and-resources channel by NamelessUncertainSomeone. Note that certain ModEngine features will not function such as alt saves.

Known Issues
-Battle Axe with the Refined Infusion does not display its Deflection stat. (It is not changed just so you know)
-Dark Arrows do not have their maximum capacity increased to 199 like all other ammunitions.
-Brigand Twindaggers 2H R1-3 repeats into itself when pressing R1.
-Body attacks deal unintended amounts of damage to low level enemies, making them much stronger than they should be.
-Timed Blocks do not currently have a visual/audio indicator that it has occurred.
-Judgment Shard applies its visuals to the right hand weapon if applied to a left hand weapon and you are one handed.
-Flameless Shrine bonfire does not have the extra service options.
2. Ensure that your Jump and Dodge inputs are not set to the same button/key as each other, or else you will run into issues.
-Unfortunately, overhaul mods do not play nice together as the game simply does not support easy merging by design. Therefore, any compatibility/merging would need to be manual, which is a massive amount of work and time.
