The latest new feature – the Advanced Game Modifier System - places power directly into your hands, allowing you to fully customise your game experience, using any combination of seven modifiers, to make the game easier, more difficult, or simply a completely new experience every time. Modifiers include the ability to randomise enemies, alter mob density and even enable a form of permadeath. Please find additional details in the new video below, with an introduction from our Head of Studio, Saul Gascon:

[h2]Advanced Game Modifier Options[/h2]
Ironman: Dying in Umbral resets your current playthrough, and you will awaken at the start once again. The world progression is reset, but player progression and inventory is retained. Certain scripted moments are excluded from this.
Pre-Upgraded Loot: Weapons, shields and catalysts found as loot from enemies, or in the world, will come pre-upgraded based on your player level.
Randomized Loot: Loot dropped by enemies, and found in the world, is randomized. Does not affect quest and progression items, nor unique boss items.
Randomized Enemies: Enemies encountered in the world now appear in a random order. Does not impact named boss enemies.
More Enemies: The world contains significantly more enemies.
Withered Healing: All healing received is Withered Healing, and must be confirmed by dealing damage to enemies.
Vestige Decay:
- No Vestige Decay: No Vestige has withered away, leaving you all possible places of respite.
- Minor Vestige Decay: Some Vestiges have withered away, leaving you with fewer places of respite.
- Extensive Vestige Decay: Many Vestiges have withered away, often leaving you without rest for long stretches.
- Tremendous Vestige Decay: All Vestiges, except for a rare few, have withered away. Truly, a restless experience.

[h3]Patch v1.5.17 - Additional Updates[/h3]
AMD FSR3
- Players can now make use of AMD's latest FSR version.
Additional Changes
- Fixed an issue in multiplayer that could cause the player to fall through the elevator, if the coop partner interacted with the corresponding lever while the elevator was still moving.
- Increased the maximum stack count of Vestige Seeds from 5 to 99.
- Fixed a rare crash caused by AI under special circumstances.
Import AMD Driver Update (April 25, 2024)
- Over the last weeks and months, we have been working with AMD to improve stability of Lords of the Fallen. In case you encounter any stability issues with your AMD hardware, please download the latest AMD driver here, as this new version should improve stability significantly.

Hotfix (April 29. 2024)
- Fixed an issue with shader compilation on some hardware setups that caused stutters when accessing new areas in Mournstead. This fix results in a longer loading time before reaching the main menu (due to shader compilation), but eliminates gameplay stutters with the correct graphic settings applied. We recommend using the Auto-Detect button.
