[p]Hello Gatewalkers![/p][p]After a longer break (porting), a new patch has arrived today, bringing several improvements and—most importantly—introducing cross-play between the PC version and the upcoming Xbox (release: June 17, 2025) and Nintendo Switch versions (release: June 19, 2025).[/p][p]The PC version is now fully compatible with the console versions, so you can team up and play together across platforms without any issues![/p][p]🛠️ We've also made improvements and fixes to: 🛠️[/p]

• [p]We optimized parts of the multiplayer code to improve game performance. Players should notice smoother gameplay, especially in larger parties of 3 to 4 players.[/p]
• [p]Reduced map creation time during expedition loading, resulting in faster load times before each expedition.[/p]
• [p]Dead monsters now have a reduced impact on game performance, helping to improve overall frame rates.[/p]

[p]🛠️ Controller gameplay enchantments: 🛠️[/p]

• [p]Skill usage and aiming with a controller have been made more intuitive. The starting position of skill indicators has been adjusted to appear closer to enemies, making it easier to aim. For example previously, ranged skills with circular indicators would begin at the player character's position. Now, these indicators start in front of the character, with the exact distance customized for each skill to enhance aiming time. This change applies only to controller gameplay.[/p]
• [p]To address the increased difficulty of aiming with a controller, an aim assist feature has been introduced. This assists players by slightly correcting near misses, making aiming feel smoother and more responsive. Aim assist does not remove the need for accurate aiming—it only helps when, a player is slightly off-target. This change is exclusive to controller gameplay.[/p]
• [p]The usage of usable items from quick slots with a controller has been updated for a smoother and more intuitive experience. Items such as grenades now behave consistently with skills, providing unified aiming and activation mechanics. This change brings controller functionality in line with mouse and keyboard controls, where item and skill behavior was already consistent.[/p]
• [p]Changed the key sequence for respecing skills in the library to prevent accidental respecs. Previously, players could unintentionally respec their character by repeatedly pressing the skip button to fast-forward dialogue. This update requires different key inputs to confirm skill changes.[/p]

[p]🛠️ Other improvements: 🛠️[/p]

• [p]Resolved an issue where certain UI windows could become permanently stuck on screen when using a controller. [/p]
• [p]Fixed map window behavior for controller, now it properly closes and opens as intendent when opening other windows[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue where some rooms in cooperative objectives were spawning too many enemies. Enemy counts in those rooms have been balanced[/p]
• [p]Resolved a bug where players could sometimes cause the game to remain paused indefinitely by navigating to the login screen. [/p]
• [p]Resolved an issue where player names and icons were not displaying correctly during the loading screen in multiplayer for non-procedurally generated (non-PCG) quest missions.[/p]
• [p]Upgraded the textures of large rocks in all forest cave areas. These visual improvements make the caves look more detailed and appealing.[/p]

Hey, Gatewalkers! 😄

We are happy to announce that we released Patch 1.2 today!

First, thank you all for your encouragement and feedback 💜 We have read everything you posted on Discord, Steam, and other social media platforms. Your insights were valuable and gave us another perspective on things. In response to your messages, we'd like to present the Patch 1.2.

Below you will find a list of new features, improvements and fixes: ⚔️

1. Multiple character slots
   Each player will be able to create up to three characters on the server as well as three characters offline (more on that later). So you can create 6 characters in total!
   
   
   
2. Offline mode
   During character selection, you will be able to toggle between Online and Offline mode. You can create up to three characters in each of the modes you choose. It is possible to play without connecting to a server in offline mode, however you should be aware that offline characters are saved locally. As a result, you can only play these characters by yourself (it is not possible to join a party).
   
   It is worth mentioning that offline characters will be saved in STEAM CLOUD, so even if you change your computer or switch to the STEAM DECK, the character will be saved on your STEAM account (unless you disable synchronization).
   
   
3. Matchmaking
   The mechanism operates by comparing the character's number of progress points (so people with similar character development parameters are paired first). As a result, when fighting together in the game, individuals who join you should have similar strength.
   
   
   
4. In-game chat
   We understand that not everyone wants to join a Discord server to communicate with friends. As a result, we are going to incorporate in-game text chat for the party players. So you should find it easier to coordinate your actions, such as when everyone is ready to embark on the expedition during crafting etc.
   
   
   
5. Combat flow changes
   We realize that some of you find fighting to be a little clunky. This is a complex area, but measures will be taken to make it more fluent. In fact, we intend to add two features that will assist you while playing:
   
   • auto-attack - when you hold the main attack button, your character will continue to attack (no more neverending clicking)
     
   • skill queue - some of you may have encountered issues while casting your abilities too fast one after another (casting second spell before the first one finished). This usually results in no second spell being executed at all. Typically, in games such as MOBAs and/or aRPGs, the game remembers what you clicked in the short period of time and attempts to fluently replay the sequence of casted skills to fit your pattern. We've added this now, and we think it will significantly improve the game flow.
     
   
   
   
6. Character reset
   In order to do so, you need to go to Ursula Tragar (Librarian) and ask her to reset your progress. Please take into account that the cost is higher if you have more progress points to reset. This will allow us to scale the reset cost based on the place where you are in the storyline.
