Dear pathfinders, we’ve found a problem you should be aware of.

Please, avoid respecing in the last chapter: «The Cursed King/Queen». A respec during this chapter might lead to the eternal unremovable Lantern King curse. If you are already affected by the bug, you can fix it by loading the save prior to the respec.
We are determined to fix the issue as soon as we can. Unfortunately, this may take some time.

Dear Pathfinders!

The recent anniversary of Pathfinder: Kingmaker made us think more about the future of Owlcat Games as well. Together with our parent company, we decided to change the format of cooperation with MY.GAMES and go for an independent studio. Both parties have agreed to this mutually beneficial step, which will allow continuing to explore new business opportunities while maintaining focus on core competencies. The parent company remains our strategic partner and investor. We want to thank our colleagues at MY.GAMES for all these years we have spent on the path together.

As a newly independent studio, we have already moved to the new headquarters, where we are actively making ourselves a new home right now. The move was not easy for us — we needed to carefully pack and transfer the countless boxes with small assets, shaman tambourines, all the dialogues, the bestiary and all the miniatures from the personal desks. Amiri's sword alone required an individual van!
But we made it! Here is a small photo report, so you can see the process with your own eyes.

Hello Pathfinders,

The anniversary infographic with fun stats and data about the game is now available in German, French, Italian, Spanish and Simplified Chinese!

You will be able to see it once you change your steam language.

Dear Pathfinders!

A year ago, on this very day, we embarked together on a great journey with the long-awaited release of our beloved Pathfinder: Kingmaker. In Owlcat Games, each one of us was astounded by the amount of passion and support you have put into the game. We want to thank you all for your feedback and faith in us! The team did its best to improve your experience with Kingmaker throughout the year and will continue to do that. It is the community that made this game possible in the first place, and we express sincere gratitude to all contributors.

To commemorate the date we have gathered some numbers and interesting facts about the game – take a look below.

We also participate in Steam Midweek Madness sale – it’s an opportunity to save up to 50% on the game and all DLCs. The sale goes till September, 27th, 10 AM PT.

BTW the developers' stream starts in an hour! Watch us on Twitch or Steam:

A friendly reminder: while we deeply admire the contribution that mod authors make to our game, we would like you to remember that running custom modifications can lead to unexpected bugs and crashes. Unfortunately, if you encounter any issues while playing with mods, our team will not be able to help you. If this happens, please report these issues to the mod's original creator. Also, remember that after each game update, there is a high probability of previously installed mods not functioning properly. If you wish to play with mods anyway, disabling auto-updates might prevent your save files from becoming corrupted.

We have analyzed the latest reported crashes and concluded that in most cases the problem is connected to the capes’ physics. The issue is tricky, as we are unable to recreate it on the testing machines yet. Thus, we do not have estimates for the solid fix. Meanwhile, we added an option to disable the cloth physics. We recommend trying this option for those of pathfinders who experience problems with game crashes.

Please be aware of plot spoilers in the description below.

However, the saved games with this issue cannot be fixed. The solution is to load the saved game before the cutscene with Nyrissa, Tristian, and Jaethal.

Historically, there is such a deep connection between RPGs and dungeons, that sometimes it seems there couldn't be an RPG without one. There are many dungeons in the Pathfinder: Kingmaker, even if not count the DLC "Beneath the Stolen Lands".
We decided to make a new survey to know what you like and what you hate about dungeons in our game. The dungeon you dream of — what is it like?

Please be aware of plot spoilers in the description below!

• When loading old saves, players did not receive Crisis Points. Resolution: fixed.
  
• When loading a pre-Enhanced Edition save in which Ekundayo has left, some players could find his pet uncontrollable when the ranger returned. Resolution: fixed for both old saves and games where this has already happened.
  
• Fixed the hanging up issue when trying to rest with a charged spell of the healing touch type.
  
• Custom portraits sometimes got deleted. Resolution: when a player loads a saved game with custom portraits, folders are created with the names that correspond to the portrait identifiers.
  
• Players who reached floor 50 of the Endless Dungeon could have noticed that the enemy difficulty stopped to increase. That turned out to be true: we never imagined that there would be heroes capable of going so deep! The enemies suffered under the players’ onslaught and reported lots of bugs using F11. They asked and we listened! We’ve strengthened them on floor 51 and beyond.
  Players who are currently on floors below 50 should expect a leap in difficulty: monsters have gained strengths and they’ll try to strike back fiercely. Stay alert and remember: losing a battle does not mean losing the war! (And you can always let your hero retire.)
  
• In Tenebrous Depths, players encountered subtasks of type "Our descent was halted by a shroud of darkness. We must wait until it disperses." even if there were no shroud of darkness. Such subtasks failed to complete when the shroud of darkness disappeared. Resolution: fixed.
  
• In rare cases, when you followed the Betrayer's Flight quest to Candlemere Tower, there could be neither Tristian nor an active portal. Resolution: fixed.
  
• In the main game, in Tenebrous Depths VI, one of the enemy groups incorrectly consisted of 6 Wild Hunt Archers. Resolution: fixed.
  
• One of the endings of the Heroes' Fate quest in Lostlarn Keep could get stuck in the main game after the saved game conversion if the DLC General was female. Resolution: fixed. To fix the issue, load the saved game before entering the dungeon.
  
• The Cloudkill buff in traps in the Vordakai Tomb had no visible text. Resolution: fixed.
  
• In the battle with the Everblooming Flower in the Other World, you can now rest and recover after the battle before you teleport to the Womb of Lamashtu.
  
• Now you can speak to Kobold Artist in the Troll Liar only once.
  
• The Spawn of Rovagug had the Chaotic Neutral alignment. Resolution: fixed to the Chaotic Evil alignment.
  
• Even the smallest goblin alchemists now can throw bombs.
  
• Classes: Mind Fog had an incorrect duration description. Resolution: fixed.
  
• The description of Sage Sorcerer has been expanded to clarify the features of this archetype.
  
• Names and descriptions of some Wild Hunt Archer abilities were missing. Resolution: fixed.
  
• Abilities: Coup De Grace no longer ignores Fortification.
  
• Items from Tristian’s dead body were looted incorrectly. Resolution: fixed. You cannot interact with the corpse to loot it; instead, Tristian’s equipment is looted automatically after his death.
  
• Items: Cloak Of Inner Warmth had an abnormally low price. Resolution: fixed.
  
• Items: Frost Rapier +1 from the Honest Guy had an incorrect price. Resolution: fixed.
  
• Items: Flaming Gnome Hooked Hammer +1 had a corrosive enchantment. Resolution: fixed.

• A trap in Tenebrous Depths XIV could not be disarmed. Resolution: fixed
  
• The respec caused Jaethal to lose the ability to wield the scythe. This happened when the respec was used on Jaethal no longer worshiping Urgathoa. Resolution: fixed.
  
• The Slayer could take the Ranger Combat Style feat at every level. Resolution: fixed.
  
• If the player completed Season of Bloom before the Enhanced Edition and loaded the saved game in Enhanced Edition with the Magical Lantern equipped on their character, they had two identical lantern abilities, one of which failed to disappear after the item was de-equipped. Resolution: fixed; now the redundant ability disappears when the player enters the Throne Room.
  
• Both Kanerah and Kalikke were present inside the house at the Capital Square at the same time. Resolution: fixed.
  
• After you killed the Spawn of Rovagug once, you could try fighting it again by showing your loot from the dungeon’s boss monsters to the dragon, which resulted in a broken cutscene. Now there is no such option: you can only kill the Spawn of Rovagug once in the plot dungeon.
  
• At Technic League Encampment, the final dialogue with Kalannah could have been terminated early with no way to resume it. Resolution: fixed by adding an option to resume the dialogue with Kalannah.

• Items: wands with cantrips were worth 0 gold. Resolution: fixed.

• Audio: some Linux users experienced sound issues. Resolution: fixed.
  
• When you loaded an autosave, some modifiers were incorrectly applied to enemies multiple times. Resolution: multiple modifiers are no longer applied. Most extra modifiers have been removed from the game saves that already had this error; however, it may not be possible to clear all the effects completely.
