Greetings, Kings and Queens! This patch is the second step in our recent series of player-feedback updates. The first one focused mostly on bug fixing and optimization. This one is aimed much more directly at player experience. A large part of that work came from thinking about earlier feedback on player agency. At one point, one of our updates took more agency away from players than we were co…
Fixed an issue where Brutalh's HP could freeze after resurfacing. This was caused by one of our recent perk-removal refactors: the boss's underground invulnerability perk was not being removed correctly, which led to this bug.
This update is primarily about stability and performance. We targeted the problems that most directly damage the feel of a run: frame-time spikes in large fights, slowdowns that build up over long sessions, and hitches (or freezes) during mission load/unload. The approach here was pretty basic: ship the quickest wins that are safe to integrate without destabilizing gameplay - cutting recurring…

Welcome to the patch notes for the From the Ashes major update! Don't forget to read the devlog with explanations for the changes, as well as why we've decided to introduce them.

Localization: · Added missing localizations in all languages for the Tutorial, hints, Neighbour effects and updated card descriptions Bug fixes: · Added a safeguard against the game failing to load and getting stuck on the black screen.
