We will be taking the servers down for emergency maintenance to optimize matchmaking. Servers will be down for up to 2 hours while we deploy these changes. Thank you for your patience.

-------------------------------

Servers are now back up and ready! This maintenance fixed a bug where matches were not searching long enough for an optimal matchup. We hope this makes the matchmaking experience more enjoyable for all.

We have implemented a small hotfix to fix issues players are experiencing with the Sovereign’s Watch ability.

In order to see the changes, please ensure you have installed the latest update through Steam.

Patch Notes:

• You may now only cast the Sovereign's Watch Top-Bar ability on grounded structures. For example, Arcships are no longer targetable. Sovereign's Watch can still attack enemy grounded structures.
  
• Fixed a bug where you could cast Sovereign's Watch near a friendly flying Collection Array. You can only cast Sovereign's Watch near grounded Collection Arrays.
  
• Fixed a bug where the Sovereign's Fury upgrade was adding more damage to Sovereign's Watch than intended.

Welcome to Patch 0.1.3!

In this patch, we’re sharing the results of a fun partnership with Artosis on a pair of modified Custom Maps for you to try out. We’re also introducing a new 1v1 Map, Ruination, to our Custom Games lobby and we’ve brought Infested Crater back into the Co-op map rotation after applying performance fixes. We top this patch off with some bug fixes, performance tweaks, and finish with a healthy dose of balance updates.

Enjoy!

Hello, everyone. You have successfully summoned the patch notes!

The Frost Giant development team is working hard on numerous significant initiatives for Stormgate. This includes improving our campaign content, evolving and refining the game’s art and audio, gathering data for an upcoming balance patch, and kicking off limited closed playtesting for our Team Mayhem game mode. As a result, we are renaming this upcoming release to patch 0.1.2, coming October 29, to better reflect its focus on delivering critical performance improvements for a significant number of our players. It also includes refinements to the Co-op Gear system and even includes a spooky holiday login bonus of free cosmetic rewards. We expect to release a 0.1.3 patch in the near future that will include balance changes for competitive 1v1 play. Our 0.2.0 content update is expected later this ... Read more

Stormgate will be unavailable for up to 2 hours, and you will see a “NoPermission” error if you attempt to log in.

CHANGELOG (October 25, 2024): To give our team more time to work on features such as our Team Mayhem closed alpha, we are moving our 0.2.0 Content Update to later this year. In the meantime, our October Patch, 0.1.2, will deliver a critical update aimed to fix a number of bugs and improve performance for a variety of hardware configurations. We expect to follow it up with a November Patch, 0.1.3, which is scheduled to include a wide range of balance updates for ranked 1v1 play along with many additional improvements.

Hello, everyone. We’ll begin by confirming what we shared in our latest Roadmap update:

The new 3v3 game mode is now called Team Mayhem–a name chosen because it embodies the quick, frenetic multiplayer fun that we are aiming for. We’re not just calling it 3v3 because it’s a significant departure from what you might expect from 3v3 (two teams of three players fighting under vanilla standard RTS rules). We hope this name captures how different this new mode will be compared to traditional 2v2 and 3v3, which we can also revisit and support in the future.

Since work began on Team Mayhem, the strike team has been conducting multiple internal playtests each week, iterating and experimenting with each test to help refine what the rules and vision for the mode will be ahead of the upcoming alpha playtest.

Our objective at this time, as we shared in the... Read more
