Torchlight 1.15 patch, challenge maps released

The second patch for Runic Games' minimalist RPG Torchlight was launched recently if you haven't caught it.

Version 1.15 brings with it heavy changes to balancing, many bug fixes, important additions for modders, and lastly, five new "challenge room maps" -- very cool.

See the release notes below, and grab the patch via your source of choice below. Currently it's available through all vendors excepting Wildtangent, Gameware and Encore. Note unlike last time, you will not lose any activations from updating to 1.15.
