Patch Notes — 28 October

Isles of Arcana · published · build 26273332

Thanks for all your feedback since launch! This patch fixes arena and quest issues, improves controller support and multiplayer, and adds a few quality-of-life improvements.

Arena & Quests

  • Fixed arena battles sometimes failing to start, including encounters stuck in existing saves.

  • Fixed arena gates staying closed after abandoning a quest or dying. Reaccepting the quest now restores the start marker and resets encounters.

  • Fixed crashes when receiving Victoria’s net reward and completing the Jester quest.

Controls & Interface

  • Made crafting mousewheel scrolling finer and more responsive

  • Improved controller aiming precision by removing snapping toward cardinal directions.

  • Fixed fists retaining awkward attack angles when changing direction on gamepad without aiming.

  • Added controller hotbar clearing: hold Y for two seconds to clear the selected shortcut, with a progress indicator.

  • Fixed compendium search triggering keyboard shortcuts while typing.

  • Improved dialogue layouts at small resolutions so choices and buttons stay inside the window.

  • Fixed interface scaling changing unexpectedly after restarting.

  • Added a Yes/No confirmation when creating a character without a trait.

  • Corrected the German “Hold” and “Pick up” interaction labels.

Building & Loot

  • Walls and glass panels now stack to 10.

  • Build-mode demolition now returns crafting materials for walls, floors, structural tiles, supported buildings and portals.

  • Ordinary carcasses now drop 1–3 bones, and dragon carcasses drop 3–6 bones.

Multiplayer & Performance

  • Improved bow and gun synchronization so other players see the correct shot direction and spread.

  • Fixed missing multiplayer wall/floor placement and demolition sounds.

  • Reduced autosave and NPC pathfinding overhead to help reduce frame-time spikes.

If you run into any issues, please let us know in the Steam discussions or our Discord.

Thanks for playing!
