Mighty adventurers!
The first update is available for download. It took us slightly more time than we anticipated, so we apologize for the longer wait. The reason for this is the refactor of death system, i. e. the promised change of not moving time forward after dying and removal of re-loading after each death. This proved to be a more challenging change and it didn't make it to the first update. The death system update will be released as soon as possible, please stay tuned for more information.
Nevertheless the latest update contains the new tutorial level that will explain the basics of combat and also the heavily requested difficulty balance that should help newcomers with onboarding. Cronach now has a better starting weapon, and even though enemies still pose a threat, the early moments of the game will be a bit less punishing. We also managed to repair some bugs and improve performance in some instances.
Based on your feedback there seems to be issues with 8GB VRAM GPUs that for some reasons are running out of memory and this results in massive frame drops and unexpected performance degradation. We are investigating this issue and will try to address that as soon as possible.
Thank you all for your precious feedback and continuous support. This is just the first step on a year-long journey of Early Access and we have many more to show you. Enjoy the game!
