Gameplay

Characters whose maximum Stamina has dropped to zero no longer act as if they have full Stamina.

Characters no longer stutter when moving left and right when performance dips.

Localization

We completed the process of localizing all text in the game for players who read Simplified Chinese, including dialogue subtitles.

Settings

We fixed a problem that caused existing owners of State of Decay to end up with both Flashlight and Crouch accidentally bound to clicking the left stick on a controller.

If you have not already edited that control yourself or reset controls to default, then this update should correct the problem.

We made it possible to manually rebind Interact and Quick Finisher to the same button, where previously, you could only get them into that configuration by resetting all the controls to default.

We added support for ultra-wide 21:9 resolutions to the video settings drop-down.

Missions

Living at the Prescott Fire Station no longer prevents you from satisfying the Warlord Legacy requirement to build a Fighting Gym.

The built-in Workshop at the Prescott Fire Station can now be used to fulfill the crafting requirements of the Builder Legacy.

Prestige

Daybreak no longer inadvertently caps your prestige earnings at 9999.

Technical

We fixed some excessive, minutes-long load times that sometimes occurred on faster PCs.

We fixed a potential crash when viewing the Legacy Pool from the Main Menu.

We fixed an error that could occur when exiting the multiplayer menu in the Steam version of the game.

Other Changes

We fixed a range of minor audio issues, including music that wasn’t quite long enough for the updated credits.

We also made sure our most recent hires actually appeared in the credits for Juggernaut Edition.

See this on the official support page, here.

Non Xbox controller users :
You might be able to change some or all control buttons within the game settings but it is not recommended.

Hey Torchlight Fans,

Torchlight 3 is entering Closed Beta this week. This is an acknowledgement of where we are in the journey of making this game with you. Let’s take a couple moments to look at how we got here.

Back in November of 2018 we ran two Weekend Alpha events - where the game was quite rough and several design risks were on display. Then from March through December 2019 we were in Closed Alpha - with various big updates along the way. Listening to feedback, we completely remade several fundamental systems in Updates 1-9. Remember when skill progression was currency based? Or Relic Weapons that swapped out your equipped weapons and only had one power?

Then, in January 2020, we released Update 10 with some massive new content: the Sharpshooter joined the fray, and heroes began delving into the Echnonok mountain fastness of Act 3. We also announced that the game was renamed to Torchlight 3 and that our business model had changed. Happily, your response to that was resoundingly positive. Since Update 10, we’ve been releasing patches almost every week. Although some chunky content like Class Skill Tiers, cinematic transitions, and legendary items have been added in this time, the TL3 team has been almost entirely focused on bug fixing and polish. You’ve seen their massive bug fix lists in the patch notes, and how polish on combat skills can make a massive difference in game feel almost overnight. We still have a bunch of that to do - especially as we prepare to launch on the various platforms. Which brings us to today.

We see TL3 as ready for the label “Closed Beta”. These definitions for Alpha, Beta, and Early Access vary widely across the industry. To us, Beta reflects the fact that we have shifted from “adding” to “finishing”. We have a massive list of bugs right now to work through: some of them obvious, painful and unshippable and some of them minor, nitpicky and skippable. So what can you expect to see in the coming months beyond bug fixing? We will keep listening for problems and find solutions that we can achieve while still hitting our dates. This is because part of entering Beta means aiming towards Launch Day.

So while there’s no big fireworks in Torchlight 3 as we enter Closed Beta, it’s still a major milestone for Echtra on the way to Launch. It’s the time when we can really polish what we have. We couldn’t have gotten here without your help, and we appreciate that. Together we have found the path to a great game.

Tyler Thompson
TL3 Project Lead

Quick reminder from Echtra: The Closed Beta test is still invite-only and the NDA remains in effect. We’re getting closer every day to opening the doors wide, but we’re not there yet!

To work closely with the Alpha testers, we continue to do weekly updates. While it means that some bugs might make it past our QA team, it does help us get more immediate feedback from our changes.

A "mainline" patch brings all of the past week's development work into the Alpha test. Players will need to exit the game in order to download the new version.

Bug reports in the Steam Discussion, via Feedback button in-game, and through Discord are incredibly helpful, thank you! Players will notice many of their reports listed as fixed in today's Patch Notes.

This week's patch is loaded with a variety of fixes and updates. Most noticeable on the list below is the completion of several Forged and Sharpshooter skills and milestones, 15 new Legendary items, more available language options, and updates to Relics and Pets.

We've adjusted some quests and also added some guidance in finding the Luck Sprout within your inventory, as that has been confusing for many new players.

Oh... and Champions now spawn at higher rates when playing with a higher number of players or at a higher level of difficulty. Because that's just more fun, innit?

We've got a lot of additional updates coming in the next couple weeks, so as always, thank you for all the feedback, bug reports, and testing!

See you in-game!

Greetings,

Insurgency: Sandstorm is free to play on Steam right now until April 1st. During this period, you will also be able to get the game to keep for good at a 50% discount. Perfect timing to check out new free content added last week with the massive 1.6 Update which brings public mod tools and https://insurgencysandstorm.mod.iointegration, a new map, two new weapons, new domination layouts, and much more. Check out the attached screenshots and read on for more details.

Modding support comes to Insurgency: Sandstorm! With Insurgency itself birthed from the modding scene with the original release, the Insurgency: Sandstorm mod tools are launching with full Mod.io integration to help more creators get what they want out of the game. The initial release will allow for the creation of levels, game modes, and mutators, with expanded capabilities on the way.
Taking Insurgency: Sandstorm CQB to the next level, Power Plant has tight corners and many passages, so you’ll always want a teammate watching your back. The titular structure is always in-sight, helping you to navigate the map. With a greener locale, Power Plant is a new experience for all players, available completely free as part of the 1.6 patch.



New update, new guns. The Advisor classes on both sides of the conflict will receive new weapons – the Tavor 7 for Security and ACE 52 for Insurgents. These state-of-the-art fully automatic battle rifles come chambered in a high caliber, making them highly lethal at both close and long ranges regardless of whether your target has armor.




The Domination mode is now available on five more maps - Refinery, Outskirts, Precinct, Summit, and the new Power Plant. Domination is a fast-paced, respawn-enabled, area-control mode that sees teams fighting over three control points.

Also in this update are new cosmetics, stability fixes, balance changes, and much more. We’re committed to continue support for Insurgency: Sandstorm as we head towards the console launch and beyond.



Play Insurgency: Sandstorm and the 1.6 update free from March 26 through April 1, and get the game at 50% off on Steam!

Hello everyone!

Element Space has finally released on PS4 and X1, and we couldn´t be happier about it. Our partners at Blowfish Studios have done an awesome job and will keep on at it as strongly as they have so far.

In the meantime, our team is dedicated to finishing the last touches and fixes to bring you an updated and voice-acted PC version, but I have to tell you that we are facing a slight delay on this.

Feels like living on space station!



The quarantine we are living in (which is full-on in our country) has affected the lives of every member of the team (covid-19 even made an appearance, so imagine that...) and it had an impact in our work schedule that was stronger than first expected.



With everyone working from homes and our server working a-ok, we still keep on advancing to bring you what was promised. It will take longer than a week, but we´ll keep you posted as we move forward to bring you the game you guys deserve. Like the steel-willed people of the Slavic Union, we will power through!




Thanks for you comprehension, hope you guys are staying at home and keep those Hit Points up!

Cheers.
