Hey everyone,

I hope you've had a good week. Launch week has not been what we expected with the bugs and crashes that slipped through QA and still remain in the live game. Nonetheless, we have been working incredibly hard to fix these issues. We have made good progress but we have not been able to fix all the issues we would like to. We finished testing a build in the afternoon on Friday but we were not happy with the stability of that build so decided against patching the PC version of the game today.

We aim to finalise a hotfix build early next week, go through QA, then publish the build before the end of next week. The main fixes in the hotfix next week should address:

- Crossplay between PC and consoles
- Crashes experienced in the tutorial (If you are experiencing tutorial crashes, a band-aid solution would be to temporarily skip the tutorial)
- Not being able to select the Mage for the first mission
- Bots not understanding the puzzle in t... Read more

Hey everyone! It's been a while and we've been working incredibly hard on getting Blightbound ready for 1.0!

The partial reason why this patch has taken so long is because we've been fixing so many bugs and making so many improvements. Every time we hit a milestone, we think "but it would be great if we can also include fixes from the next milestone..." and the whole process repeats itself and snowballs 😅

Check out the full list of changes here[blightbound.com].

Tutorial - The game no longer shows tutorial popups for tabs that have not yet been unlocked.

Gameplay - Haäken can no longer spawn in the encounter just before Hemog, at the end of The Hemomancer.

Refuge - The merchant refresh button no longer takes more than 1 game to be enabled.
- Fixed an issue that prevented players from progressing Korrus’ personal goal.

Interface - The chat window no longer closes when dragging the scrollbar.
