Age of Darkness: Final Stand News

Protectors of the Light,

Thank you all for your incredible support of Age of Darkness: Final Stand following its 1.0 release! We deeply appreciate the time you’ve taken to share your experiences and feedback with us.

In response to the issues raised, we’ve released our next batch of fixes addressing the following:

• Resolved an issue where the VFX on the Main Menu doubled up causing extra bloom and vibrance.
  
• Improved the UI displayed when the game is waiting to receive network data from the other player.
  
• Moved the UI for Auto-Saving in Multiplayer from the top left to the center screen to communicate with the player when saving is occurring during gameplay.
  
• Fixed a situation where a client could no longer re-join an existing Multiplayer Lobby after leaving.
  
• Fixed the trade panel UI displaying some text in the background behind the "send" button.
  
• Adjusted “Default” windowed resolutions to be a more player-friendly resolution rather than the largest possible fullscreen resolution.
  
• Fix for selected resolution resetting when you change monitors or between windowed / fullscreen modes.
  
• Fix for displaying an invalid resolution when swapping monitors on uneven displays.
  
• Fix for the game restarting on the incorrect monitor.
  

We remain committed to delivering ongoing improvements, quality-of-life updates, and bug fixes. Addressing game stuttering and resolving the Steam download region issue are top priorities. These fixes require careful implementation, and we’re working diligently to ensure they’re resolved safely and effectively.

Your feedback and detailed reports are invaluable in helping us enhance the gameplay experience. Thank you for your continued support and active engagement—it drives us to make Age of Darkness the best it can be!

Protectors of the Light,

It is time! Age of Darkness: Final Stand has officially launched, marking the end of over three years in Early Access and the introduction of one of your most requested features: Co-operative Multiplayer. We cannot wait for you to jump in and try it out.



Importantly, we are celebrating the full release of Age of Darkness: Final Stand with our biggest discount yet - available now at 65% off for a limited time only! There really is no better time for you or your friends to jump into the game (and you have our permission to bug them until they do).

If you are new to the AOD community - welcome! In addition to the new Multiplayer Mode, you also have Survival Mode and the gripping Campaign to experience, and they are a great place to start when learning the ropes. Take advantage of the game’s range of difficulty settings if need be - there is no shame in playing on Easy! But if you are a Veteran RTS player and want to grab a friend to defend humanity against the forces of the Veil, do not be afraid to jump into Multiplayer and challenge yourselves with its increased intensity and faster pacing. The game truly has something for everybody!



And finally, we just want to say thank you. Thank you for your support. Thank you for all your feedback. Thank you for all of your support throughout Early Access. This 1.0 launch simply would not have been possible without you, our Protectors of Light.

Till next time, Protectors of the Light…
