FE v0.86 - combat animation error

from Elemental Forums

Minor issue - It seems that when you cast 3 fire darts in a row the 3rd one doesn't travel from the caster to the target but from some point off to the left to the target.  Damage and sound seems correct just the animation.  I noticed this while chopping up AI heroes and they keep casting fire dart at me.  The unit was mounted if that matters on a grey warg.

Almost the same thing happens with the animations from magic staves in player armies, but the pattern of occurrence is different. It seems to start happening randomly within a given battle, but once it starts it happens on all player-owned staff attacks for the rest of the battle.

I also see an anecdotal correlation between this bug and game crashes on the player turn after the combat ends, as if the misplaced animations were trashing something in memory that's usually not fatal but can be if you get unlucky.
