G'day.
Seems that an old bug has resurfaced with the recent patch - companion (AI) knights once again may be auto-targeted.
This was already fixed in the February 23, 2012 patch - for reference: http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/44767
Hoping this get addressed.
TIA.
Yes this bug was fixed once but now it's back. I don't use autotarget much but I often use it (shift key) when dealing with single enemies. It can still be annoying if suddenly the autotarget shifts to a friendly companion.
This regression of a bug is still not fixed as per latest update.
I've already filed countless in-game bug reports regarding this issue.
I'm bumping this since I last filed a bug report on June 21, and even up to now with the latest patch AI knights may still be auto-targeted.
From the looks of it, it's a bug that regressed back into the game after one of the June patches.
