Curse of the Dead Gods News

Hello, Pretenders,

Some bugs made their way into our PATH OF TRIALS update. Hotfix incoming!

Fixed in this patch:

• Fixed a crash that occurred in between rooms
  
• Fixed a bug related to saves on new games (if you launched one on an older version)
  
• Fixed a bug that prevented the 'Grace of the Tempest' Blessing from working properly
  
• Fixed a bug that blocked the door of the Blood hunter once defeated

⚠️ NOTE: Your current run will be deleted if you haven't played on the 0.20.02 version yet (update from Thursday 09/10). Don’t worry! Your save will stay intact (Unlocked explorations, Unlocked Blessings, Crystal Skulls count…), but if you had a run in progress, you won’t be able to finish it.

Thanks to the community for their fast reports! Don't forget that Curse of the Dead Gods is currently on sales for 33% off!

See you next week!

[h3]What’s cooking in the Temple[/h3]

Hello, Pretenders!

In this week’s community post, we’ll share a first look at our upcoming minor update: PATH OF TRIALS! But just before we dive in, we’ve updated our roadmap and we wanted to show you our next plans for Curse of the Dead Gods!



PATH OF TRIALS will be available next week! But if you’re impatient like us, continue below to see its full content!

⚠️ Beware, spoilers!

[h2]• NEW TUTORIALS[/h2]Practice in a dedicated tutorial zone with extended explanations of all the game’s mechanics. Previous tutorials were not as effective as we wanted, as players could miss out on important information about the core gameplay of Curse of the Dead Gods. We’re getting the game ready for its final release so a good tutorial is always handy!



[h2]• GEAR RECYCLING
[/h2]Recycle your loot to gain some minor bonuses during your explorations. This highly requested feature is likely to become one of your favorites!



[h2]• NEW ROOM TYPE[/h2]Make offerings at the new Weapon Upgrade shrines to level-up your gear and obtain more powerful effects for them. We know some players love their Weapons very much and don’t want to leave them behind. This new feature will allow you to keep your gear throughout the Temple!



We can’t wait to see your feedback about those highly requested features! You can always join our Discord server or give suggestions on Steam forums if you want to help the development of Curse of the Dead Gods!

See you next week!

Hello, Pretenders!

Today, we’re releasing a hotfix that resolves some issues reported by players last week. Have a look at the bugs and problems fixed in this patch:

• Low FPS
• Daily events not showing up each day
• Unexpected crash with fire projectiles

Once again, we want to thank the Curse of the Dead Gods’ community for reporting these issues and helping us resolve them. Remember that you can always report bugs on Steam forums or on our Discord server.

Your saves from the Experimental branch will automatically transfer to the Main branch. If you backed up your saves to test the Experimental branch, you can put them back in the appropriate folder (Steam-steamapps-common-Lost Temple-TempleResources-_Saves)

See you next week!

Hello, Pretenders!

We hope you’re enjoying the latest patch! We’re aware that some of you are experiencing low FPS and Daily Challenges issues, and we’re working on fixing these problems this week. That’s why we’re launching an experimental branch for those wanting to see if your problem has been resolved by our little tweaks.

Fixed bugs/issues on the experimental branch:

• Low FPS
  
• Unexpected crash with fire projectiles

HOW TO HOP ON THE EXPERIMENTAL BRANCH:
→ Right-click on the game
→ Choose "Properties"
→ Choose "BETAS" tab
→ Enter this password: wehatelowfps
→ Select "specia_public_test - /!\ Special/Experiment fixes"
→ Close and launch the game.

If your game is working fine, no need to jump on this branch as it’s only a temporary fix until we’re able to fully release a hotfix early next week.

We want to thank all the players that have been helpful in resolving these issues, either by providing videos or analysis of bugs and crashes, or data of their personal computer configs. Let us know if our fix is working for you!

[h2]Updated Roadmap[/h2]

What’s coming next for Curse of the Dead Gods? As we’re still actively working on the new Eagle Temple - coming later this year - we still have some cool and game-changing content coming in the next few months.
