Thanks for playing the game!
Here's the official status of Magicka as of now (26th of Jan).
Short story:
Singleplayer and Multiplayer: Tonights (it's 18:00 in Sweden) patch is going to be fairly big and hopefully it'll adress the majority of the issues you've been experiencing. Right now we've got so many players posting on the steam forums we're having a hard time keeping up answering posts. But we're reading all of them and are adding stuff to our "to-do"-list. This includes fixes and improvements
Here's the changelog
Patch will be delivered to Steam very soon and it's up as soon as Steam pushes the button). We'll monitor your response closely and keep patching the game as often as possible.
Please let us know if the patch helped!
Changelog Patch #26 Jan
Bugs Fixed
ADDITIONAL INFO:
Please follow these general steps and hopefully it'll help most of you.

We've seen that a bunch of players are reporting that the game is running poorly on their netbooks/laptops without proper graphics cards. This is the primary reason why their game is acting up.

We (devs and publisher) are still super committed to fix stuff that's broken and make sure you guys can have a great time with the game.
