Patch v1.38 & v1.39: engine update and game fixes

Hi everyone!

Some quick patch notes for you! Last week we did a sneaky engine update on the game. The engine update fixed a game-launching crash that some people had, but unfortunately it also broke a few things inside the game. So then we quickly made a patch for the first few issues that were reported, and just now we uploaded a second patch that fixes some other issues that remained.

Sorry about all this, the good news is that now the game should be even more stable than it was on v1.37! Here's the complete changelog for the two patches!

v1.38 changelog:

  • Engine update
  • Fixed wrong arrow sprites shown around the Black King.
  • Fixed a random softlock with unjust decree + sawed-off justice.
  • Added basic backup system for saves, so that the game can recover on its own if your save is corrupt for whatever reason.


v1.39 changelog:

  • Fixed a crash that happened when getting pushed back onto a pentagram or an undercover mission tile with Sawed-off Justice.
  • It's no longer possible to get back onto the last of three pentagrams before they're done resetting.
  • Fixed pawn souls not increasing damage with Cannon Fodder.
  • Folly shields will now properly activate in case of an unsafe point-blank kill or blade kill. (still won't save you from discovered checks though)
  • Cannonballs can no longer spawn on the same tile.

That's it for now! We hear you about bringing controller support and the console version's tutorial to PC, we're working on it!

Have a great weekend, long live the shotgun king!

Game update4 Aug 2026Quickpatch v1.623bHi royals! This is another quickpatch because I wanted to use the newest version of our engine which should be more stable on finicky systems. But I also took the opportunity to fix two leftover bugs in the codex and make it possible for modders to use the "vision" cheat functionality.

Well, I was self-indulgent and hid a funny interaction in the last patch, and now I reap the consequences. There were a few new bugs, and it also made some pre-existing bugs more noticeable. So here's a new patch that fixes all that!

I hope you're having a nice Summer Sale. All our games are 40% off , just so you know. Anyway, that's not why I'm here. We just updated the game with another quickpatch. We're trying to get the game as stable as possible for the console port. I think we're getting there. If you find anymore bugs, please let us know on our Discord!
