ORX — Future Plans and Community Events

Greetings, Sultans and Kings!

New week is upon us, and the astrologists proclaimed it the Week of the Community! Join us as we share our plans on community contests and events, status of known issues and plans for the future!

[h3]Friday Community Stream[/h3]
Liked watching our pre-recorded stream? Then join our Discord and watch ScaryRussianWizard slay hordes of orx live — this Friday, Sep 9 at 2 pm GMT! During our weekly Community Streams we answer questions, listen to some tunes and just have fun. Join the family!

[h3]Build-a-Castle Community Contest[/h3]
Are you the Michelangelo of Rune Wardens? Do orx faint at the mere sight of your castles? The map is too small for your grandiose builds? Then share the biggest, most powerful castle with the community — three winners will receive a Month of Discord Nitro subscription! Top 10 participants will also be knighted and get a special role on our server!

How to Enter
  1. Build your castle!
  2. Post the screenshot here on Steam with the tag “Build-a-castle Contest”
  3. Go over to our Discord and share the build in the 🏰┤build-a-castle channel.
Do this until September 11th 11:59 pm GMT and you’re in!
Not sure how to publish screenshots on Steam? Check out this handy guide by Valve themselves!

Next week, on September 12th we’ll select the most voted screenshots and start the final round of voting which will last until September 16th. The winners will be announced on our Friday Community Stream and published in announcements channel on our Discord, and here on Steam.

[h3]Upcoming Community Events[/h3]
The fun doesn’t stop with the Build-a-Castle contest, and we’ve prepared even more community events for you to participate.
  • The best guide for beginners contest
  • Weekly movie nights
  • Weekly game nights
  • And more!

We also have an addictive card collecting game on our Discord, featuring art from the main artist behind ORX — which we’re actually planning to expand into a fully fledged card game. So get the good cards early, before anyone else — join the server now!


[h3]Plans for the near Future[/h3]
As we’ve already mentioned in one of our previous updates — ORX will learn
Korean and Traditional Chinese languages this week!

However, we’re also hard at work on a lot of important and highly requested things like:
  • Better User Experience for the game’s interface
  • Fixing critical bugs like crashes, freezes and black screens
  • Optimizing the game’s perfomance and unlocking FPS limit
  • Localisation problems. If you notice any inconsistencies in text, bad translations or outright missing descriptions — let us know here in Steam Discussions or on our Discord!

Rest assured, this is done in parallel with fixing critical bugs and doesn't affect our progress with solving those issues. Stay tuned for the upcoming patches!

[h3]Known Issues[/h3]
We take your reports seriously and are dedicating a lot of time to fix the issues. However, some of them turned out to be harder to solve than we initially anticipated. So here's the status update on the most important ones:
  • Black screens upon launching ORX. Currently we’re solving these on a case-by-case basis so if you encountered this problem — please, report this via Google Form
  • Dune Reavers not unlocking after completing Act 1. This randomly happens to some players, and, unfortunately, the logs don’t tell us why. While we’re actively looking for the cause behind this you can try resetting all progress and completing Act 1 once more. To do this go to Settings and click ‘Reset all progress’ button.
  • Crash on start up. We’re planning to roll out fixes for these in the nearest patches.
  • Ultra Widescreen support. Will be implemented very soon.

Due to the nature of some problems we will be deploying some of the fixes gradually, so stay on the lookout for the upcoming updates.

As always, if you encounter any issues, please share them at:
