Age of Darkness: Final Stand News

Protectors of the Light,

We’re excited to announce our ‘Age of Darkness: Final Stand + KILL KNIGHT’ Bundle, which provides 10% off both titles.

As the last bastion of defense against huge tidal waves of enemies, it's time to conquer a new Nightmare as you illuminate The Abyss.

KILL KNIGHT is an ultra-responsive arcade-inspired isometric action shooter. Condemned to eternal sufferance, deep within the voids of an eldritch arena, you must wield an arsenal of devastating weaponry to obliterate swarms of otherworldly horrors - and MASTER THE DEMON WITHIN.

Protectors of the Light,

Today, we’re releasing Patch v1.0.2.3, which focuses on crash and bug fixes.

Most notably, this update addresses critical crashes occurring when using Aurelia, Vizargo and Merek. It also contains fixes for specific achievements not firing when they should and how stat tracking is stored.

The full list of fixes includes:

[h3]Crash Fixes[/h3]

• Fixed a crash occurring when using Aurelia’s, Vizargo’s or Merek’s abilities in Multiplayer.
  
• Fix for a crash that could occur when transitioning from the main menu to the game level.
  
• Fix for a crash occurring when accepting player invite.

[h3]General Fixes[/h3]

• Bug fix related to Rebellion gold upkeep being incorrectly calculated.
  
• Bug fix for ‘Beating Survival with Hero’ achievements not firing correctly.
  
• Bug fix related to how our 'Stat Tracking' achievements are stored.
  
• Bug fix for an issue where some world elements would linger after the game had closed.

As discussed previously, the team’s primary focus over the last few months has been on improving the overall stability of Age of Darkness, prioritising crash and desync fixes.

These areas continue to be our focus. With this, we are planning on releasing another update soon, with a focus on Multiplayer desynchronization issues.

We’d like to once again thank the community for the ongoing support and reports provided for Age of Darkness. Your detailed reports on all bugs and crashes are invaluable for us in identifying and resolving these issues.

Thank you,
The Age of Darkness Team

Protectors of the Light,

As we continue to work on addressing key issues affecting players, we wanted to release a dedicated update for a specific issue:

• Crash fix related to how particle and visual effects were rendered.

These rendering issues relate to a number of crashes across Age of Darkness. However, this fix most noticeably occurred when using Abilities.

While this fix will provide some greater stability when using Heroes such as Aurelia and Vizargo, we are aware it will not solve all known issues with these Heroes.

We very much appreciate your ongoing support and feedback as we endeavour to create a fundamentally more stable gameplay experience and find solutions to the main issues affecting the community.

Thank you,
The Age of Darkness team
