- Fixed the issue regarding too many mugs breaking. Right now only a fair amount of mugs and plates are going to break over a longer period of time compared to everything disappearing after a short while.
- Fixed the issue regarding workshop items not being downloaded to the correct folder. (thanks to steam community members ‘Rejuvenation_Man’ and ‘Beata’ for bringing up this issue!)
- Addressed issues including AI priority settings for tasks.
- Fixed the issue regarding pigs in the pigsty not being fed.
- Fixed wild animals not leaving the game area.
- Garden functions work as expected.
- Rebuilt pathing to be more dynamic.
- Pets no longer parade on the main road.


We have to admit, that fixing the issues regarding ACT III was a bit tricky, and we need to really have a closer look at that one. That means, we split the current patch into two parts - the list above is being released today, and the next part is expected soon. In the meantime, some players may encounter issues within Act III - which is the result of in-progress reparation.

---

But today, despite all that’s been said, there’s something more, something exclusive, something which is specifically dedicated for those who want to wider their tavern immersion. According to the roadmap, we’ve shown you some time ago (in this UPDATE), together with the patch, we are releasing a BOOZE AND LIQUOR DLC.


Within the new DLC, you’ll have a chance to hire completely new characters: Moonshiners. They will focus all their efforts on making the most potent ‘shine to help keep your customers happy and spending. And along with them, there’s a new item available: Pot Still With Worm.

A new addition is available for the Season Pass 2 owners, and it is the second promised DLC after the Circus one released a month ago.


Thank you again for the love you give to Crossroads Inn and the hopes you have for it!
Special appreciation for all of you who point out bugs, those big and those small (‘Rejuvenation_Man’, ‘Beata’, and the rest of the users providing us with valuable feedback). Having the feedback, we are on a right track to make the game better and better.

Klabater Team,

Greetings Innkeepers!

• Fixed the issue regarding too many mugs breaking. Right now only a fair amount of mugs and plates are going to break over a longer period of time compared to everything disappearing after a short while
  
• Fixed the issue regarding workshop items not being downloaded to the correct folder. (thanks to steam community members ‘Rejuvenation_Man’ and ‘Beata’ for bringing up this issue!)
  
• Addressed issues including AI priority settings for tasks.

But there’s more, of course - one of them is addressing issues in Act III. We will let you know about the details tomorrow, as we plan to release the patch on 1st October at 1 PM CEST.

---

What’s more, we wanted to give you a heads up that we plan an AMA session in October on Reddit! We will provide you with a link in the next few days, so prepare questions and we would be happy to answer them all, even the hardest ones!

We want to make this discussion a crucial milestone in our mutual communication. So, please note down all your questions, we will try to answer them all with a strong team of devs attending! We want to address turbulent times of CI development, but also talk about Crossroads Inn 2 and Crossroads Inn: Board Game - Crossroads Inn: The Board Game campaign we will launch very soon (please follow, it is an absolute must-have for all the Delcrys fans!)

Klabater Team,

Recently we delivered to you some game-changing fixes - followed by the patches and hotfixes based on players’ reports and comments. Polishing was made, and you noticed another snag preventing the in-game progress, so let’s begin with the first and significant announcement.


Many of you provided us with the information that there are some errors with taking the loans in the first Act of the campaign. Thank you for this feedback - it happened that the previous fix led to another muddle, so, within tomorrow’s patch there comes the fix:

• Fixed an issue that could prevent the player from taking a loan in Act 1

Mostly, however, this update is to finally deliver the first content of the promised Season Pass 2. For those, who haven’t seen the recent update, the DLC coming tomorrow was inspired by our newest game The Amazing American Circus and it’s going to bring three new characters: Juggler, Clown, and Strongman to the game as well as a new item - performance stage. Read more about the upcoming DLCs and see their roadmap on the Season Pass 2 Steam card.

Last, but not least, we have two festive announcements to be made. Here we go:


Those players who haven’t taken their steps in the land of Delcrys yet will have a special chance to build their first fantasy tavern. Crossroads Inn Anniversary Edition will be available for free starting tomorrow, August 5th, up until Monday, August 9th. New players will be able to access the game free of charge and if they’ll decide to spend more hours in-game they will be able to get the game with a 60% discount. The progress made during the Free Weekend will be kept.

As always, thank you for your involvement. Your feedback, be it negative or positive, is a valuable source of information and gives us a hint on what’s going on.

Keep running your awesome taverns!

We apologize for prolonging the announcement, so here you go with what’s new about the Season Pass 2.

Primarily it was said that the Season Pass DLCs were supposed to be of different origin. Yet to be more sound and consistent, the first two additional packages will be inspired by Klabater’s upcoming games: The Amazing American Circus and Moonshine Inc.!
For the Pass owners, the promised premium content awaits, including new characters, a decoration pack, and 100 new recipes (3 of which created by players during the Court Herald Celebration contest).

Check out the roadmap of what selected DLC you can expect:

• The Circus DLC - August 5th, 2021!
  
• Booze & Liquor DLC - expected drop in September 2021
  
• Decoration Packs DLC - expected drop in November 2021
  
• Snacks and Recipes DLC - expected drop in December 2021

---

And on August 5th The Amazing American Circus is coming to the Kingdom! With the newest update, you will be able to greet the new passing-by characters, Jugglers and Clowns, and with such, you can let even more entertainment into your Inn!

A new set of goods will fill the taverns of Season Pass 2 owners with:

• new characters: a juggler and a clown (who operate like a well-known bard), and a strongman (who is your regular worker bouncer - but you can only hire one in your pool of workers).
  
• additional new item: a performance stage

The whole concept is made on the upcoming game THE AMAZING AMERICAN CIRCUS. It will arrive on September 16th and we really hope you’ll find it interesting as well!

Stay tuned for more information!
We will have another set of details to be published this Thursday!

A little longer than expected, but here it is - PATCH 4.0.2 - which brings you a pack of new corrections! Compiling and detailed tests showed recurring bugs, which had to be dealt with, hence the few days of delay. Never enough polishing.

PATCHNOTES:

• Added 'watch' action for watchmen.
  
• Fixed vindication event after the deadline for the debt has passed. If you have a build with "0 days left" then watch out! You'll have to pay your debt as soon as you load your save.
  
• Criers will bring more guests to your inn.
  
• Fixed workers not bringing ice to larders.
  
• Fixed more old saves not loading properly or crashing.
  
• Patrons will hang around your inn for longer.
  
• Fixed some issues regarding importing taverns.
  
• Made changes to ensure that wood chopping works properly.
  
• Fixed cleaning dishes and tables.
  
• Fixed action bubbles for scoundrels.
  
• Fixed audio overlapping at the beginning of a sandbox.
  
• Made changes to the guest counter in order to properly count guests sitting outside.
  
• Fixed billboard physics in order to avoid guests blocking on them.

Our active and responsive community never disappoints, that’s why, once again, huge thanks to you, and of course, please report, comment but most importantly have fun managing your polished taverns, so that they’ll shine under the sun of Delcrys!

---

And, now for something completely different! If you are happy with the game and you don’t experience any significant problems/bugs, we have a request. Please help us raise the Steam fan scoring of the game! Let’s make it the tavern simulator, unlike anything the world has ever seen.

---

Never have I seen such swift action to correct mistakes! It took all day, but here is the hotfix patch to correct some issues that caused such chaos. I sincerely thank those who posted and sent in game files. It couldn't have been done as quickly without your help!

Here is what this small, yet significant, patch corrected:

• Fixed issue with attribution of the task to workers.
  
• Fixed bug regarding not being able to store wood collected on the map to the woodshed.
  
• Fixed garden patch not working.
  
• Animations for bathing customers are working properly again.
  
• Fixed display of money earned from bathing customers.
  
• Fixed most of the saves not loading properly.
  
• Fixed issue with stacking water in the barrel, causing the worker not to load the water. In case you still encounter bugs related to this issue (especially in the prologue) we recommend hiring more workers as a temporary workaround and sending over save files.

Once again, a sincere thank you for the bug reporting and save files. Also, I would like to acknowledge the very hard work the devs put into getting this compiled, tested, and ready in such a short amount of time.


Your Court Herald,
LeaPi

It is with great pleasure that I bring you the news of Patch 4.0! This has been a long time coming. The kingdom, and I, are grateful for your patience and for sticking it out with us! All joking aside, Klabater heard you loud and clear and brought a person onboard to specifically work on correcting and improving things.

A lot of time and effort went into not only the coding and compiling of the massive list of bug fixes and improvements seen below, but there were also considerable hours of play testing done prior to release. Not only by ‘the kingdom,’ but also by me, your faithful Court Herald! I have said that things would get better and, dear Innkeepers, we have crawled through the moat together and are now standing on the other side. And it. Is. Better!

All that being said, there are always improvements to be made and fun things to be added once the dust has settled. I have said it for months now and I say again, Delcrys is alive and well!

_________

I have also received an Official Decree regarding other platforms. Now that many of the bugs have been fixed, focus will now turn to Mac and Linux to get 4.0 for them as well. This patch is the last one for Mac, Linux, and Windows 7/8 users and support for those platforms is being discontinued.

A few more notes:

• You do not need to uninstall/reinstall the game for this patch to work.
  
• This patch does not require starting anything over. Therefore, you should have no problems playing previously saved games that were updated to 3.0.8.
  
• Did you know? You can skip the prologue (Act I) of the game! Check under Options>Game and check the “Skip Prologue” box. Not recommended for first-time players. Act I is important for learning how to play.

Your Faithful Court Herald,
>LeaPi<

Work in progress, repairs in progress. And after a prior update it is time for another. So here comes a fresh bunch of fixes, because PATCH 3.0.8 is here!

Patch Notes:

• Fixed pathing for imported taverns
  
• Animals no longer disappear after a new tavern is imported
  
• Level 0 dialogues and icons are no longer visible when level -1 is active
  
• Fixed fonts and issues that could occur when changing languages (ex. to Chinese)
  
• New workers no longer spawn t-posed
  
• Fixed issues with stairs to the basement

With a recent patch 3.0.7 for PC and the hotfix released on Xbox version, we’ll continue to meet up expectations of the community and hope to provide you with even more fixes very soon. That all, however, wouldn’t be possible if not your continuous feedback on Steam and Discord, so keep it up!

The recent release of Crossroads Inn for Xbox consoles was a massive deal for us. Many new innkeepers now have a chance to try their wits managing the tavern.

At the same time, our team kept working hard on fixing another bunch of cumbersome and bulky “features” from the PC version. We know quite the time has passed since the last patch update, yet here we are with a new one, bringing you another pack of fixes, preventing freezing on the missions, making your interaction with pets how it should be, and much more.

• Trellis now works correctly.
  
• Fixed pathfinding and animations of cats.
  
• Animals can now be petted correctly.
  
• Fixed Adventurers freezing in place when going on a mission.
  
• Bards and Adventurers will no longer use baths.
  
• Guests using Fancy Bed now correctly pay for accommodation (Please note that to trigger this fix in old saves, it is required to sell all currently owned Fancy eds and build new ones)
  
• Innkeeper upgrades are no longer removed when progressing from Prologue to Act 1
  
• Workers now get the correct XP for sweeping.
  
• Bards no longer get stuck on the stage - Fixed issues related to paying back Loans.

We are committed to working on the whole project, the new Xbox version and the PC versions - meaning various operating systems. Many thanks to all of you who support us with feedback! Keep the feedback on as always on Steam and Discord.
