Build 25276077

Hello heroes,

Over the past few days, we have been addressing specific issues in the text, interface and campaign. This illustrated roundup brings together recent improvements released through September 13, 2026. Thank you for pointing out where progress got stuck or messages were hard to read.

1. Explore Mount Liang in a familiar language

The interface supports Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English and Japanese. Switch languages at the top left of the main menu or the top of the settings page; the current interface updates when you make your choice. Text for mission locators, character-selection buttons and related tooltips has also been refined.

2. Revisit the stories of the 108 heroes

The existing biographies of all 108 heroes have been revised against the 120-chapter edition of Water Margin, with references to relevant chapters. The text distinguishes accounts from the novel from the game's adaptations, making those sources easier to identify.

3. Fixing specific campaign obstacles

Chapter 3, “Zhu Family Manor,” received fixes for a black screen when starting the chapter, opening scenes obscured by fog, friendly troops attacking the side gate, and blocked inside-contact tasks. Related right-click handling and prompts for selecting an unsuitable character were also adjusted.

More recent fixes make task selection follow the original click target, so units do not start a neighboring task while passing it. At Yellow Mud Ridge, carrying visuals are cleared when a carrier falls. Other heroes can still pick up the dropped load and carry it onward.

4. Clearer commands and messages

When no unit or building is selected, the bottom command bar collapses to a slim strip with the minimap and control hints. Selecting something expands the portraits, stats and command card. Successful side-gate contact messages in Zhu Family Manor no longer stack repeatedly. Keybind help on the right temporarily hides while these messages appear, reducing overlapping text.

5. Steam stats messages and ongoing work

We have also adjusted handling of failed Steam stats reads, incorrect stats-save status during consecutive games, and related error messages. If Steam corrects your stats, the game stops further stats tracking for the current game and asks you to restart. If you see that prompt, restart before beginning your next game.

Mid-battle saving and resuming are still in development and are not available to players in this update.

Thank you for continuing to share specific problems and suggestions. We hope your next expedition brings clearer orders—and another hero's story worth reading.
