For those who are Blightbound...

As we continue work on the Wolfpack Patch, here's a quick hotfix for you folks. The big news is for folks with lower end GPUs and intel cards, we have a new low texture option and should have eliminated the majority of on-launch-crashes, respectively. Take a read!

Hotfix 0.2.3 patch notes 20 August 2020

New Features

• Added option for Low texture quality.
  
• Fixed that many Intel GPUs couldn't start the game because High texture quality uses too much texture memory (they run on Low now).

Gameplay

• Fixed an issue where enemies would become and stay invulnerable after spawning, causing a softlock. If you still run into one of these, please fill out a report.
  
• Fixed an issue where client players did not acquire any survivors at the end of a dungeon run, resulting in little to no Prosperity gain.
  
• Fixed an issue where o...

Hot off the presses, it's another patch! This time, we made some updates to Khuliath's fight (he shouldn't be so hard to kill due to invulnerability anymore), and we made a change to Monster Rings. Take a look down below!

Hotfix 0.2.2 17 August 2020

Refuge

• Small visual improvements to the Refuge.

Gameplay

Khuliath was causing issues for some players, where his encounter didn’t progress the way it should. This caused him to get stuck behind collision, and players unable to continue to the next arena. We’ve cleaned up this fight, making sure the fight always progresses normally.
• Fixed an issue where Khuliath did not jump to his next arena properly, causing a softlock in most cases.
  
• Slightly adjusted collision in Khuliath's second arena (there was a segment where players could walk on air).
  
  Tek'ka and Kujuk’s Gravity Well is effective, and a little too effective against ...

Since the last patch notes were so popular...

Here's another small hotfix! It's a saucy one though: check out the details:
Stability

• Fixed a desync issue that caused the connection to be lost after playing several matches with the same party. (There might be more desync bugs but we expect this to be a good improvement. Please let us know if you still get desyncs.) This is the beginning of their end.
  
• Fixed an issue that in rare cases caused a player to be stuck in a loading screen forever
  
• Fixed a crash on exit

Heroes

• Fixed a grammar issue in Kromn's personal goal description
  
• Kromn's personal goal now correctly displays that you have to collect 5 sunshards
  
• Your heroes' rating should no longer rise as fast from finishing games. This makes the game less likely to start on am impossible difficulty when you start with a fresh character after pla...

For those who are Blightbound...

For those who are Blightbound...
With Blightbound having been released as an Early Access title (which was celebrated with gusto here in the studio!), we recognise the need for a Roadmap.

A Roadmap is an excellent way of doing the following:

1. Informing the playerbase, and the community at large, about upcoming changes and current development plans.
   
2. Keeping the developer, in this case Ronimo, accountable. Like having a gym buddy.

As a result, we made a Roadmap. Take a look!


Now, this isn't exactly a year-long review, is it? On the left, you can see the current patch. The center and right panels show what we have in the pipeline that is almost fully developed, and that you can expect to see within a few weeks. The text on the far right shows what we're working on, but have no set time... Read more

A new version of the Open Beta is out now! Close the game and let Steam update to grab it, new version is 0.1-120563

The ever increasing notoriety level that led to impossible difficulties crazy and unintentional. For anyone interested, the intention was to save the notoriety tied to a specific party. However, the check to see if the party had changed was broken, resulting in ever increasing notoriety spreading like wildfire amongst players.

Thanks again for playing the Beta, and good luck facing the horrors of the Blight!
