Mega Crit released v0.107.1 for Slay the Spire 2, the second major update.

The update also includes a monster compendium and new character animations.
Mega Crit shipped v0.107.1 for Slay the Spire 2 on June 19, the game's second major update. The patch brings Steam Workshop support, letting players install mods directly through Steam instead of relying on external sites like Nexus Mods. Mods now sync automatically across devices.
The update also overhauls the game's random number generator after mathematician tckmn published a paper on June 15 showing significant bias in random events, such as the 'Neow's Bone' relic favoring the 'Debt' curse. The fix was rolled out within days.
On the content side, the Act 3 boss Door Maker has been removed after repeated balance changes and player criticism. A new Act 3 boss, the Eternal Hourglass, replaces it. The Eternal Hourglass adds a 'Decay' card to the player's hand after a set number of non-status cards are played. Other enemies like the Parasitic Prism and the Writhing Mass have been reworked. A monster compendium and additional character animations are also now live.
