Greetings, Flameborn!

You've all been patiently waiting for weeks now, eagerly wondering what's next for Enshrouded. We have been playing it very safe: on the one hand, we have big ambitions for the game, and loads of ideas! On the other hand, Enshrouded is a brand new game, and some of the things we want to do might turn out to be more difficult than we can anticipate!

It's a push-and-pull of wanting to keep you interested, without over-promising on our capacity to deliver.

Nonetheless, we've managed to land on a roadmap that we think will be of interest to everyone. For those of you who have shared your feedback on Feature Upvote, a lot of these items will look familiar! One of the factors that makes us feel so confident in the evolution of Enshrouded is that in so many cases, your feedback and our vision for the game align pretty closely.

For those of you who haven't looked into ... Read more

Greetings Flameborn!

Here is our second big patch for Enshrouded. Once again, thanks to all of you who reported issues, your support is as helpful as it is motivating for us!

For those of you playing with dedicated servers, you will need to ensure the server is running the same version as the game.

We are working on a fix for the "60Hz display rate", but due to the extensive testing needed, we will be aiming to release it as an opt-in branch in a few weeks. This way, players who feel this is an important part of their experience can help us test it out, without any potential issues affecting the community at large. More info on that later!

And now for the good stuff...

Changelog Stability and performance • Fixed several rare crashes.
• Added more security to the saving process to avoid issues with saving, and better protection of the save game in case there is a failure.

Greetings, Flameborn!

In less than a month since launching, Enshrouded crossed the two million players mark! Since its first week, the game has held a steady Very positive rating on Steam, and the reception everywhere has been both incredible and humbling. Whether you're one of the celebs, athletes, or one of the two million anonymous Flameborn who have taken up the fight to reclaim Embervale, you're all absolute heroes in our book. We couldn't have expected such a response.

We've already put out multiple hotfixes and a patch to address your concerns and issues. We're hard at work on another patch that we hope to release shortly, and work has started on the first content update, for which we hope to share plans soon! In the meantime, a reminder that you can ... Read more

Hi everyone,

We have received feedback from players about the quest progression of Enshrouded. Many of you are frustrated with the fact that it is currently mainly server-side instead of player-side. We have some good news to share.
When designing this system, we believed that the best way to enjoy Enshrouded was with a group of friends who are all working cooperatively together. However, we know that having quests completed while one player is offline might feel bad for those who feel they are missing parts of the gameplay experience.
We designed Enshrouded as a co-op game. While working on it, we envisioned one group of friends experiencing the world together—sharing bases, resources, crafting recipes, and loot.

Furthermore, we wanted players to be able to play together meaningfully with different groups of friends and on different servers. We developed a game environment where a new player could join a long-running server and jump into the... Read more

We're still seeing a lot of new players get into Embervale for the first time.

Some of these players need help. Maybe they're your friends. They don't really know how the game works, but they got it because you told them it was good, and they don't really know how it all works?

In case you want to get them a little help before you all get into it together, we've made a quick video explaining the basics and giving a few tips to get started.




Let us know in the comments your best tips for new players!

Known issue "Not enough system memory available" error message on game start This error message triggers when your machine has under 16GB of RAM. It is there to warn you that your experience will probably be pretty bad.
You can bypass by adding "--disable-ram-check" to the game's launch options via Steam to ignore the warning. Keep in mind that if your computer is below specs, it might not be able to run the game in the long run, once we've added all the features we have in mind for Enshrouded!

To protect the player's bases and their progress on the server from other players, we highly recommend to always set a password, whether you are hosting a peer-to-peer server or using a dedicated server. This will give you control over who is joining your server. Likewise, be mindful of who you are inviting to your server.

In case you plan to open up the server for any reason, it is always possible to back up the save data locally, just in case.

During Early Access, we plan as a top priority to implement server-wide rights that can be set by the server admin for each player, such as guests with only viewing rights, members who can build and use the base, and moderators who can set the rights for other players.

This is only the beginning. Thank you for supporting Enshrouded!

Game World - Fixed several level design issues.

Version number: 487046

Save data stability Users have reported an issue that in some cases the game would not save the progress correctly. To prevent unsuccessful saving, we have made the save data system more robust. There is now also an added notification message in case there are any issues with the save game:
• For single-player, peer-2-peer multiplayer and dedicated servers the game will now attempt more thoroughly to retry saving.
• On single-player and on peer-2-peer multiplayer, if saving can’t be completed successfully even after several retries, a warning message will pop up, allowing the player to manually retry or cancel. When “cancel” is selected, the game will shut down to prevent further unsaved progress.
• On dedicated servers, the server will shut down automatically in case many consecutive attempts to save were unsuccessful.

We will continue to monitor save data issues very closely and keep working on improving the stability of save da... Read more

What a week it’s been for Enshrouded! We’ve been quite literally overwhelmed with the amount of support we’ve seen. After nearly choking on our celebratory drinks, we got back to work. But before we talk about what’s ahead, allow us to share a couple of reviews we liked:

Greetings, Flameborn!


We have just released a new hotfix addressing the following problems:

Stability
• Several causes for random crashes have been fixed.

Multiplayer
• Fixed an issue that could lead to the session invite popup to incorrectly remain on the screen.

After many years of development, a celebrated demo and plenty of videos later, we are proud to confirm that Enshrouded has an official release date - albeit, a little later than the prophecy foretold. But you don’t want to read a blog post about the release date, you want to know the release date. It says so right there in the title: January 24th. 2024, by the way. We’ve also got a pretty cool new trailer that you can share with your friends if you like it. Check it out:



Did we tell you Enshrouded enters Early Access on January 24th? Well now you’ve just got told. If you’re excited, it would really help us out if you let your friends know, too. Are we releasing on consoles? Yes, but later. Now please make sure you follow us everywhere on social media to get little hits of dopamine every time we post something. We try ver... Read more
