Hello all,

Firstly, thank you very much to everyone helping out with reports from the hotfix and continued support as we focus on ironing out the issues in Viking Conquest.

This patch fixes a large number of issues and provides a lot of improvements. It is savegame compatible but some of you who have saves from the first release version may encounter some errors. These should resolve themselves in time. They are simply related to our efforts to trim down resource usage and improve performance (this patch should do both).

It is not multiplayer compatible. For those of you looking for the dedicated server files and/or non-steam installers, the Viking Conquest downloads page is now open on our site here: https://www.taleworlds.com/en/Games/VikingConquest/Download

Hello all,

Firstly, as Armağan has already stated on the TaleWolds forums, we would like to offer our apologies to anyone having errors with Viking Conquest currently. We are aware that many users are having problems and this is not the way we would like to release games now or in the future.

Regardless, we are committed to bringing the DLC to a the standards that we expect of ourselves and the standards that you should expect from us. Thank you to those who have faith in our ability to do this; we are determined to repay that with results and hopefully this fix is a start.

Patchlog:

-Fix for crashing on entering settlements
-Reduced memory uses, to help with general crashing

This patch was released on Saturday. We are posting it here to make sure everyone can see the announcement. We are working on more patches to fix the game even more and improve performance.

The patch is savegame compatible but not multiplayer compatible. We will be updating our servers to test multiplayer shortly.

Thank you for your faith and patience.
