Greetings All,

We've just unleashed another hotfix patch unto the world and this one includes fixes for a large number of user reported issues.

Remember if you're suffering from an issue please report it to us on our Bug Tracker!


In-Game UI

• Improved the contrast of the gold cost numbers for payday overlay
  
• Added secondary icon for Artefact identified notification
  
• Added secondary icons for Ritual ready and Ritual activated notifications (to differentiate own, ally and enemy rituals)
  
• Removed active state tooltip from gold vortex, instead the gold vortex is now always active.

Menus

• Added a new loading screen drawing

All Home Realms

• Your Dungeon Core is now correctly indestructible
  
• Fixed Kasita’s identity crisis - She no longer identified as Oberon

HoG1 - The Wizard

• Fixed the reminder to use blood money on Mandalf

HoG2 - The Summoning Stone

• Cultists are now correctly grabbable after being affected by a booby trap

HoG3 - The Colossus

• Fixed the “Gold Statue” achievement

HoG4 - The Heart of Gold

• Fixed a potential issue preventing entrance by the west gate

C3 - The Breach

• Closed the door next to O’Theland, so he once again has some privacy (to brush his hair)

• Optimized audio assets, as a result memory usage has been reduced by approximately 600MB
  
• Optimized a number of subsystems, increasing FPS on large maps with large numbers of units by 15% to 20%

• The game will now provide an informative error dialogue before quitting if an issue is encountered during loading.
  
• Fixed an exploit where the Help button could be used to scout/cheat in multiplayer
  
• Fixed an issue where high level units (with wages between 1000 and 1333) would suddenly stop doing jobs (eg. Torture, Potion brewing, Ghoul summoning, Garrison recharge, ...) after having payday
  
• Fixed gold statues counting towards the player’s population and thus slowing down the spawn rate from gateways
  
• Fixed support units (eg. healers) incorrectly applying their buffs (eg. Heal) to units in range while they sleep (which made them visually toggle from sleeping to buffing animation)
  
• Huntress now fights with her full toolset, she can once again get rid of Vampires forever!
  
• Fixed an issue with Vampires failing to drink blood from victims in a loop, causing the game to lag
  
• Fixed an issue where your own units could die after fighting in the arena, if they got a damage input modifying debuff applied (such as the Cultist’s “Desecration” ability.)
  
• Fixed imprisoned empire units didn’t move inside the prison, when they were following a patrol route
  
• Fixed the “Barracks too small” notification. This popped only when the Barracks was big enough, while it was supposed to notify the opposite
  
• Fixed an issue that caused a crash on game load due to a Japanese language translation mod which was out of date
  
• Fixed an issue which prevented Augres from recharging the Garrison Aura, when the game was saved and loaded after the Aura was halfway depleted
  
• Fixed that Cultists ignore newly added channeling slots in the Sanctuary, when it is enlarged while a Ritual is channeled
  
• Fixed possession doors sometimes playing their lock sounds in unintended circumstances
  
• Fixed a lot of subtle and minor errors and issues found in player logs
  
• Fixed an issue where unused Veins of Evil slots would show lock icons, making the player think it was inaccessible content
  
• Fixed an issue where the payday overlay can extend past the gold bar when payments are higher than 100% of owned gold

That about does it for now enjoy!

Cheers!

Greetings Underlords,

We're still hard at work addressing the issues that you've reported to us. This morning we have another couple of hotfixes for you, associated particularly to rare issues that occur in campaign progression.

The fixes are as follows:

• Fixed an issue that could occur on Level 13 of the vanilla campaign where certain units could not cross the drawbridge.
  
• Fixed an issue in Heart of Gold level 2 where the optional tutorial objective instructing the player to use an outpost would not trigger.

If you're suffering from another issue firstly check our Patch 1.4 Known issues and workarounds thread first. If your issue is not listed or you wish to provide more information on known issues then please submit or comment on a related ticket via our Bug Tracker and be sure to include all the details requested in this thread we'll endeavour to address your issue asap.

Thank you for your patience and support!

Cheers!

Hey Folks,

We have a special delivery for those of you affected by the resolution issue since Patch 1.4. Hotfix 1.4.0f5 has just released and should have resolved these issues for you moving forwards.

Having worked with our community through the weekend and this bank holiday Monday we isolated the issue which caused resolution to default to 640x480 on first start-up post Patch 1.4 which affected a small subset of AMD Brand graphics cards.

Soon after it was reported we identified a work-around for those of you affected and fortunately this appears to have resolve the issue for anyone who used it.

Users who have already been affected by this issue should find their resolution set to 1024x768 on next login, this will allow those of you affected to change your resolution to your desired with ease.

Anyone else who was liable to be affected is unlikely to be so but please keep us posted as we'd like to know if this issue crops up for anyone. We apologise for the inconvenience and hope you enjoy WFTO!

Anyone affected by the issue where you're unable to tag tiles in-game we are still looking into the issue but there is a work-around in the topic linked above. Please get in touch as the more information we have the quicker we will be able to resolve the issue for everyone.

Cheers,

Lee
