- Fixed bug: Omnitemples would enter a stuck, inoperable mode if they were created, constructed, and had 100 offerings provided in a single gameplay session
Added Bookstore, which sells Paper, Books, and all other Knowledge Tomes (Paper & Books removed from General Store)
Adjusted trading prices for all Bookstore items as well
Added ‘forward’ and ‘back’ navigation (ALT+ left arrow and ALT+ right arrow)
Added icon for Tractor and Barrel
Fixed many Research labels not showing the correct associated Level of research (e.g. Grain Processing Speed Lv 2)
Greatly increased starting natural resource capacity for Rock
Fixed trading tooltip not showing details during trading deficit
Changed default launch mode to fullscreen exclusive
Labels for “Level X” and “Lv X” can now be localized
Fixed Quest ‘Claim’ buttons not always appearing in localized form
Fixed natural resource regeneration not being accounted for correctly in item production detail tooltip
Natural Resource regen no longer scales with resource capacity, instead it scales based on town level. Each resource has its own resource regen multiplier. Generally this means resource regeneration will be lower than previous versions, however, water regeneration was boosted and rock has been given a small regeneration to prevent blockages in the early game
Disabled boatbuilding, as it is currently obsolete
Fixed ‘Coal’ research appearing as ‘Coal Cultivation’
Fixed click-to-navigate failing on a harvestable resource if the resource was newly unlocked and not yet displayed
Fixed prospecting unlocks displaying “Cultivation” instead of “Prospecting” in the tooltips
We uploaded an untested patch by mistake several hours ago. The 0.4.4 patch had a serious issue with cell picking up. We rolled the version back after we realized the mistake. However, the game data in 0.4.4 may get lost after the rolling back. If you lose your saved data, please contact us via Steam Community, Discord, or email bob@emprom.net for a solution. Sorry about the inconvenience.
The last days, I watched a lot of games and collected a lot of problems with version 1.0. This results in the first hot fix containing the most problematic issues:
Bug fixes:
FPS - Fixed: Molotov and grenades do not always register hits on Titan/Fat
FPS - Fixed: Flares not visible if shadow quality is set to medium
RTS - Fixed: Units sometimes get stuck on destroyed buildings
RTS - Fixed: Unit spawn buttons not always register every click
RTS - Fixed: Always writes to all chat
General - Fixed: Bot all sounds were assigned to sound groups, so changing volume had no effect
I also wanted to thank again everyone who bought Dark Prospect and thank you for all the feedback. I'm very happy with the sales and there are a lot more people online now. I hope this continues and that there is always someone online to play.
It will take place in "Novogorsk monastery", with a focus on uninterrupted combat. This mode features a unique set of rules as follows:
An infinite number of revivals, with a maximum number of up to 15 players per match.
There are 16 levels of combat. To move to the next level, you will need to kill two opponents.
At each level, the player will receive a new weapon. At the 16th level, the player will receive a knife with which they will be required to kill one enemy.
The winner will be the first player to pass all levels and kill an enemy using the knife as their final weapon.
The size of the game area will not change during the battle.
Special abilities and rituals will not be available.
The only traps you can use are: “Shield”, “Jump pad” and “Throw aside”.
Inside the monastery, you will be able to find artefacts. No other loot will be available on the map.
Ammo for weapons is infinite.
Each enemy kill regenerates 7 points of your HP.
And like before, you can earn special rewards during the event.
A new patch for Horse Tales: Emerald Valley Ranch is now available! Here is what you can expect:
Major Improvements
Several improvements to performance optimization and resolution scaling. What this means for players is reduced ‘blurriness’ and fewer hitches/lags when moving through the world. This will be most noticeable on Nintendo Switch, but may improve the experience on other platforms as well.
Extended Camera Settings: You now have several more options to customize your camera behavior
Locked Camera Mode means the camera stays behind horse and rider and you have to press the camera toggle button (Middle Mouse Button or Period on PC) to move the camera freely. (This is a new, simplified mode!)
Free Camera Mode means that you can always move the camera with your mouse. The camera toggle button then simply re-centers the camera behind you. (This is how it’s been working so far!)
Simple vs Dynamic Camera Movement determines how the camera moves and pivots. Select “Dynamic” for the camera to behave as it has been so far, or switch to “Simple” if you’re looking for a more immediate response that is always centered on the player. You can set this separately for the movement on foot and on horseback.
Auto-Reset Camera is a toggle that determines if your camera occasionally resets behind you. Disable this if you always want full control over the camera.
Try the different settings to find the experience that works best for you!
Fast Travel between Home Bases: You can now unlock fast travel between the Emerald Estate and your Homesteads!
To fast travel to a home base, you need to visit it on foot/horseback first and find a ticket that unlocks the location for fast travel.
Keep an eye out for the hot-air balloons on each of the bases. The tickets can be found nearby. Interact with the balloon to fast travel.
Balancing Adjustment: We’ve added more Sandcastles in the world and increased the number of peppermints you get from Esmee for a favor point.
Bugfixes
Fixed a critical issue where the Completionist Trophy couldn’t be unlocked on Steam for some players.
Fixed a bug where all collision triggers (resource collecting, race checkpoints) would stop working.
Fixed the availability of the “Lucha Libre” tack set. The set can now be found as intended by the Chasms race near Withers’ Ridge.
Fixed the availability of the “Horse Walker” blue print: The blueprint is now a mission reward for the “Horse Expertise” side mission. If you’ve already completed this mission, the Horse Walker should be buildable as soon as you update the game to version 1.1.4.
Fixed issues with the Out of Shape, Lazy Jumper and Lazy Sprinter traits: These traits can now be trained/improved correctly and should not return once the relevant training mission has been completed.
Fixed multiple issues with fear-related Trait Missions: Traits like Fear/Uneasy in the Dark and Fear of/Uneasy with Heights should now work correctly and not return once the relevant training mission has been completed.
Fixed an issue where the trophy cabinet would become empty when rebuilding the player home.
Fixed minor localization issues, such as horse parentage getting displayed the wrong way around in the horse’s history.
If you encounter further problems, please report them to http://support@microids.com as before. Remember that:
Receiving multiple reports for the same issue helps us gather valuable information and prioritize based on frequency and severity
For any issues with your saved game (i.e. any problems that persist after exiting and re-loading the game), you can help us by sending us your save files to investigate. Your save files for the game are located in Save games can be found in C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\StableGirl\Saved\SaveGames
Thank you all for your patience and all your feedback! ✨✨
Keep having fun with Horse Tales: Emerald Valley Ranch! 🐴🐴

Sniper Elite 5 Season Pass Two has LANDED! We're kick-starting the season with the thrilling new campaign mission ‘Rough Landing’ as well as two authentically recreated iconic weapons, the MUCH-requested Mosin-Nagant rifle and the Sjögren shotgun.
To celebrate the start of our Season 2 content drops and Sniper Elite 5's launch on the Epic Store, we've also just released a brand new Trench Warfare Weapon Pack for FREE across all platforms (available to download separately), including the Axis blitzing Carl Gustav M/1945 SMG, the show-stopping Trench Gun and the small but ever deadly Double 1866 pistol.
Allied airmen have been shot down over a dense forest and are now in hiding as they are being hunted by Nazi forces. It’s down to you to find and rescue the airmen and ensure that valuable intelligence is kept out of enemy hands.
Featuring thick woodland, a cramped mine shaft and a village to explore, expect a variety of challenges, including close quarters combat. You can brave the mission as either a solo sniper or you can co-op with a fellow spotter. Best of luck troopers!
New additions to your loadout:
To help in your pursuit and rescue of the airmen, you will receive two new weapons: the much-anticipated return of the Mosin-Nagant rifle and introducing the Sjögren Inertia shotgun.
A famously powerful and reliable Russian rifle, the Mosin-Nagant has excellent stopping power and great stability making it an excellent sniper rifle at very long range. Meanwhile the 12G Swedish Sjögren Inertia was one of the first semi-automatic shotguns. It has a distinctive feel to its recoil, which can be controlled to deliver accurate shots at a reasonable rate of fire.
Included in this pack:
Rough Landing campaign mission
Mosin-Nagant rifle
Sjögren shotgun
Rough Landing is available to buy now as the first content drop of Season Pass Two (with more to follow in the coming weeks) or as an individual purchase.
Trench Warfare Weapon Pack:
This FREE Weapon Pack gives you more devastating firepower, specifically for those unpredictable close quarters combat scenarios.
The Carl Gustav M/1945, better known as the Swedish K, was adopted in 1945, taking features from various World War 2 firearms to produce a reliable and well-balanced sub-machine gun. Firing at 600 rounds-per-minute, the Gustav provides accurate single shots, whilst also offering great control in continuous fire.
A powerful pump-action shotgun, the Trench Gun first saw use by US Forces during World Wars I & II. Fed with 12-gauge shells from its 6-round tube magazine, it sacrifices range and fire rate for extreme damage in close quarters.
Finally, the Double 1866 is a double-barrel pocket pistol designed in the 19th Century as an easily concealable backup gun that can be drawn at speed. Despite only featuring a single-action trigger and producing a very low muzzle velocity, the D.1866's unique traits make for a powerful weapon at close range.
Included in this pack:
Carl Gustav M/1945 SMG
Trench Gun shotgun
Double 1866 pistol
Full Patch Notes:
Troops,
As those eagle-eyed snipers among you will have already noticed, we’ve also just soft launched Beta versions of dedicated servers to Sniper Elite 5. With that in mind, we wanted to share exactly how this brand new server system will function in contrast to the dedicated servers you’re used to using in Sniper Elite 4.
We’ve now introduced Rebellion-hosted servers which will roll out in limited US and EU regions in Beta initially, with a view to fully launch in the coming months. In an effort to overcome some technical barriers new to Sniper Elite 5 and to create a smoother online Multiplayer experience, we’ve completely overhauled the previous server system.
These servers will still successfully support crossplay but will also maintain a trusted, reliable environment with sufficient bandwidth and regular map and game mode rotations. This will combat some of the challenges of peer-to-peer hosting like hosts quitting early or laggy game connection and will eventually support more Community control for online play. Access to the dedicated servers is available via the Custom Games screen only, where you’ll find a new column to help players clearly identify which servers are ours. The server names are listed below:
EU Servers:
Blue Viper
Kraken
Chevalier
Jaeger
Neptune
US Servers:
Fairburne
Ghost
Cobra
Detroit
Overlord
Whilst these servers will not allow you to adjust map selection, change server names or ban other players, we hear your requests for more community control in a server environment and are actively exploring ways we could support this in future releases. Given the Beta status of this initial release, we encourage all Community feedback as we continue to build on this system for Sniper Elite 5 and future titles.
Stay tuned for more updates via our usual community/social spaces, The Rebellion Dev Team
