Scorch stacked in shaded areas

Fix status

0.12.1 fixes some shaded areas allowing Scorch to stack as high as 500 percent without triggering correctly.

What to do now

Patch before relying on shade, then monitor the debuff and hydration while moving between sun and shelter.

Close Dragonwilds and update the Steam client.
If the world is dedicated, stop, back up and update the server too.
Confirm the complete client and server version numbers match.
Reload the affected area or interface and retest the exact trigger once.

If the symptom still appears

Do not assume the same cause survived the patch. Record the current version, world type, host/client role, location and exact action that reproduces “scorch stacked in shaded areas”. A new report with those details is more useful than applying an old workaround or deleting a save.
