We are pushing a hotfix to address recent game crashes players have been reporting. The update will be pushed at 6:45 PM EST and servers will be down for roughly 15 minutes.

We would also like to thank everyone who sent in their reports via the crash report tool. We receive these reports directly, which help us locate the problems at a faster rate when more obscure crashes take place, especially if the player lets us know all they can about when the crash occurred through the provided comment section of these reports.

If you continue to experience any issues regarding game crashes, be sure to verify your game files through Steam.

That's all for now Fault Fam, see you in-game!

Welcome
Hello everyone and welcome to a new year of Fault!
‍2020 had a lot of ups and downs for the world, and we are thankful to have such a great community to have spent it with. In today's dev blog, we take a quick look at the life of Fault so far, while also informing everyone of our plans for the future.



Fault 2020
After 1 year and 7 months of hard work from the founding members, and 3 major alpha events where we opened servers to thousands of players, Fault launched its Early Access on 07/17/2020. Since then the game has seen many updates, content releases, community events, and more! Below we have prepared a look back at everything that has been released since EA launch.

‍
Content Patches In the roughly 5 months the game has been in early access, we have seen 28 patches along with many hotfixes and small updates to address bugs and balance while adding more content to Fault. Many of these patches would not have been possible wi... Read more

Happy new year Fault fam!

Patch 0.12.0 goes live at 4pm EST!

Servers will be down for roughly 20 minutes as we push the update containing Morigesh and more balance/bug fixes.

Read the updated patch notes here: Link[www.playfault.com]

Content Heroes

NEW: Morigesh ‍
Morigesh is the first combat mage coming to Fault and as such is designed to get closer to her targets than typical mages, deal good sustained damage while also having a method of prolonging her survival. While Morigesh lacks the range of other mages with both of her main abilities being close to ranged basic attack range, she does gain utility, damage and sustain with her E ability and consistent and reliable damage with her RMB, Q and Ultimate. Morigesh is not the most mechanically demanding hero, but does require smart positioning, trading and decision making in order to shine. The longer Morigesh is able to stay within range of a target and stac... Read more

Heroes NEW: Riktor
Riktor is a an offensive control tank that is most characterized by his pull ability. Pull heroes in MOBAs are a staple archetype that adds atremendous tactical and mechanical element to MOBA gameplay, and Riktor will be the first to provide that for Fault. As a control tank, he has very limited mobility and a large hit box, making him vulnerable to getting picked out and eliminated. Conversely, his Slow and Silence on his Q, his pull on his RMB and his Stun on his Ultimate provides him with all the tools necessary to isolate a target and keep them controlled. Riktor's passive encourages him to ite... Read more

Gadget is now available to all Season 0 Pass holders!

Gadget is our first artillery mage in Fault and is designed for long range bombardment and harassment. Both of her main damage abilities (Q and RMB) have extended ranges versus typical mage abilities, and her passive is designed to allow her to more frequently bombard her enemies with spells if she is accurate with her abilities. Her E ability is her only form of self-aid and is crucial to her safety, as she is quite vulnerable due to having some of the lowest base health and base movement speed of all mages. Being accurate with her abilities and having good map awareness a... Read more

We are holding a Dev stream to go over Gadget's abilities and some upcoming community events!
