It’s been quite a ride with the release of the Fabled Heroes update alongside the Nintendo Switch version. And yet, despite how much we packed into it, it has undoubtedly been our smoothest update so far. That’s not to say the waves have been completely calm, as a few bugs were lurking beneath the waters. Fortunately we’ve not only fixed all the bugs reported in the last week, but the Mac and Linux versions are ready for prime time! We juuuust missed the launch window for these versions, but at least fans didn’t have to wait long.
And finally, we want to cap things off with a very big thank you to everyone that has supported us so far through the v1.0 launch to our latest major update!
IMPORTANT NOTE: We are aware some Steam Deck users are experiencing intermittent crashes. Regrettably we have not been able to isolate the cause, but we are hoping the native Linux build will help stabilize things. Please note that until the native Linux version is re-verified on the Steam Deck (fingers crossed because we’ve tested it), only the Proton version will be available to Steam Deck owners. To get around this for now, in the game’s properties on Steam, navigate to ‘Compatibility’, enable the ‘Force the use of a specific Steam Play Compatibility tool’ checkmark, and choose ‘Steam Linux Runtime’ from the drop down.
IMPORTANT NOTE #2: This patch will only be available on PC for the first few days to ensure stability. Once we’re certain everything is good, we will push the patch to the console platforms.

- Fixed bug where the Death Mark could go into negative values at the Docks.

- Fixed bug where the crit damage for Burn and Poison Status Effects were not taking Relic damage mods into account.
- Fixed bug where Poison Status Effect crit damage was dealing too much.
- Fixed bug where the Lute's explosion was not calculating its bonus damage correctly in certain scenarios.
- Fixed bug where Shotgun would sometimes not automatically fire the second shot when playing the game at a really low fps.

- Fixed null ref bug that would sometimes occur when switching Challenges with the Shotgun.
- Fixed bug where dying when the rumble SFX that plays from the flying hands in the Cave biome would cause the SFX to keep playing.

- Fixed bug where a cloud in the Sun Tower is covering the exit pipe of a local teleporter, causing the player to teleport back to their original location after using it.
- Fixed bug where players could still perform abilities in a small time window during a scene transition. This was a problem because some abilities would re-enable player gravity after the ability was completed (like the Umbrella attack), causing gravity to kick in too soon and resulting in the player falling through the ground during a transition.
- Entering the Lineage scene while in the upper area now shows the sky of the upper area in the windows.
