Steam Installation Fixed (August 16, 2025)

We had an issue where, upon installing, the game didn’t download correctly. It’s now resolved, and you can install Roxanne: The Forgotten Path from the default branch with no extra steps.

What should you do?

• Install normally: from your Library, click Install and you’re set.

• If you already had it installed and it wouldn’t open/download:
  Right-click the game → Properties → Installed Files → Verify integrity of game files.
  If you still see anything odd, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

About the “CLIENTE” Beta

• The Beta: CLIENTE option will remain available for those who were already playing via that branch.

• If you’d rather return to the main branch: Properties → Betas → None.

• If you’re comfortable on CLIENTE, you can keep playing there with no problem.

Thank you for your patience and support while we resolved this. Our team is working to give you the best experience.
Remember: don’t forget the path.

• Trade sliders can now be dragged.
  
• Item icons now have tooltips showing name, base price, and how many you need to fulfill contracts.
  
• Items that you need for contracts are underlined.

• The "You" icon on the TAB-accessed map now pulses for better visibility.
  
• During battle, the hitpoint sums display along the top now shows a tooltip with information about morale mechanics (which is otherwise not available during battle).
  
• Increased the number of recruits available at low Recruiting skill.
  
• Slightly smaller enemy bands are now more likely to try their luck and attack instead of running away.

Hello! Since the official release, several small updates have been made to fix issues and improve certain aspects of the game. Today’s update focuses on enhancing the item-selling experience. You can now see at a glance whether an item you sell will bring more or less profit.

• Added new items to discover

Thank you very much for your feedback! I hope you enjoy these small updates. See you soon!
