Standing in front of an ominous dungeon, Spellweaver did not feel as confident now as she did back at the tavern. Over there, she would gloat about how she earned all of these achievements. But other mercenaries challenged her, and she had to show them all... as bragging only gets you so far.

And let me tell you, her companions did not make things any easier.
Scoundrel spent quite a while staring obsessively at a nearby chest, visibly trapped, and muttering “Mine…All Mine”.
Brute, for his part, repeatedly yelled “I’ll kill them all!" and "Get over Here!” at an immobile skeleton, amidst a sea of profanities.

Suddenly, she caught movement in the shadows of the dungeon. Hungry things lurking, waiting, observing. A shiver ran down her spine, but the job had to be done. With a grim grin, she starting preparing a chromatic explosion...
A normal day in Gloomhaven.

Hello there mercenaries!

Soon, it's December. You know what this time of the year means, don't you..?
*small drum sounds for intense suspense*

.

.

.

(Yes, you probably got it wrong, we know.)

And what better Award Category for Gloomhaven than the "Best Game You Suck At", because everyone loves to hate curses and neverending oozes.
It would really mean a lot to us to even make the short list for an award and we can think of none better than this one. So get your votes in and tell all your friends and family to do the same!




Looking at where we came from, and realizing where we're standing now, it feels incredible to be in a position to compete for a Steam Award.

We're very grateful and happy to have made that journey with you guys.
From our Steam Early Access a little more than two years ago now, to the full 1.0 launch in October and now the macOS release... it's been one hell of a ride. And a wonderful one.
And we're not done.


XOXO
The Gloomhaven Team

Good day, glorious adventurers!

Today is generous with us, as Gloomhaven is finally available on macOS.
*YAY*

We worked hard to release a macOS version that would be fully stable and of a quality level we deemed appropriate for Gloomhaven players.
As of right now, we are happy to announce that we have met the standards we set for the macOS version to be released, hence this brilliant update.
We are very excited to be giving macOS players the opportunity to join us on Gloomhaven.
Welcome!


You will find below the minimum and recommended specs to run Gloomhaven on your beloved and dear macOS!

MINIMUM
OS Version: Big Sur (11)
Processor: 2.7GHz
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: 4 GB

RECOMMENDED
OS Version: Monterey (12)
Processor: 3.2GHz
Memory: 16 GB RAM
Graphics: 8 GB





MERCENARIES!
We heard you.
We received lots of feedback regarding the enhancements and randomness issues, and thanks to you all, we have been able to carefully evaluate and discuss these topics.
The next major update coming in December will thus implement the following changes:

Enhancements:
We are working on implementing the permanent enhancements for the retirement system from the original board game to the Gloomhaven Digital Campaign. This will be a toggleable option in the campaign that will allow a mercenary to keep their enhancements after they’re retired. Consequently, if you or another member of your party wants to play the same character, the unlocked enhancements will remain.
In the non-permanent enhancements mode, the enhancements’ pricing will be reduced and rebalanced to allow you to create new build ideas. These changes were approved by Isaac Childres and his team.

Game variant - reduced randomness:
This board game variant allows players to reduce the variance in damage caused by the x2 (or “Bless”) and x0 (or “Curse”) attack modifiers by instead treating them as a +2 and -2 modifiers respectively.

> These are two of the numerous improvements and changes we will be bringing in the upcoming update next month.
We felt it was cool to let you know we were working on these specific two as there has been a huge demand and tons of feedback about it, and since we’re cool, too. <





Steam Award Nominations are open now!



It would really mean a lot to us to even make the short list for an award, and we can think of none better than the "Best Game You Suck At" Award.

Oh, stop boasting mate! Yeah yeah, we heard you the first fifteen times, you killed a dragon. Not that anyone has ever seen a dragon here; might only be a big lizard for all we know. But if you're so tough, I've just heard about a bunch of new contracts available for “extra-seasoned mercenaries". Go ahead, and we’ll see you around. Or down under.

As for our green-blood right there, come here. You look a bit roughen up, don’t ya? No worries, it’s always hard the first time, but you made it home alive. That's a start, I s'pose. What contract did you take? That one?! That's for experienced mercenaries, rookie! Start with something more manageable and you'll be killing harrower infesters by the dozen later up the road.




On this glorious day, spirits are high as we come bearing much loot of a very, very useful kind: a sizable update containing two new difficulty modes that will be available both in the Guildmaster and Campaign modes.
We have spent a lot of time taking into account all of your bug reports and feedback about the game as we launched it, and thanks to it, have been able to implement many improvements, small and big.

FIXES:

Important: Probable fix for the multiplayer connection issues ! We apologize again for the inconvenience and hope you guys will be able to connect normally today.

Fixed - Various localisation issues
Fixed - The rogue ! that can sit on the UI after you unlock a new character in Guildmaster
Fixed - Multiplayer error when selling an unequipped item
Fixed - Some immunities on the Sightless Eye boss

Fixed - Multiplayer issue where the host may still get the victory screen even if all character have exhausted
Fixed - Scenario 31 Plane of Night re-unlocking after being blocked if you complete Scenario 21 Infernal Throne


KNOWN ISSUES:

- The "black screen" issue people are encountering while starting the campaign is due to videos (in this case the intro) not being played properly by older OS versions (typically Windows 7 is not officially supported). We will come up with a fix but a common workaround for now is to delete all video files from this folder : ...\steamapps\common\Gloomhaven\GH_Data\StreamingAssets\Movies

- Please wait on the start screen for your first run or boot of the game, it can take a long time based on PC specs. We will work on optimizing it

- Desyncs may occur if 2 characters of the same class are in the roster at the same time in Multiplayer, avoid creating duplicate versions of the same character class while we work on a fix

- Desyncs may occur if clients join while other players are creating new mercs, try to avoid that while we work on a fix
