For The King II News

Greetings Adventurers,

We have a hotfix for the softlock that happens when encountering a locked chest and the party has no lockpicks. We also have a fix for the subsequent softlock that happened when continuing a game that had encountered the lockpick softlock. From our testing, including save game files from various community reports, it appears that any save game that had the issue should be able to be continued without any issues.

• Fixed the softlock caused by encountering a locked chest and the party not having any lockpicks.
  
• Fixed the subsequent softlock caused by continuing a save game that encountered the lockpick softlock.
  
• Fixed an issue where being Protected was not preventing status effects from non-damage attacks.
  
• Fixed Evade Down not removing the 5% back row evasion boost on enemies/players that were afflicted with Evade Down.
  

We will continue to hotfix as we improve the game so please stay tuned for further updates.

Thank you for your continued support!

This update focuses on tackling key bugs that we’ve identified to be causing a high number of
reports and impacting overall gameplay stability. In addition to these higher volume issues,
we’ve also fixed a handful of smaller issues, such as missing VFX, followers no longer being
healed with Party Heal, and final bosses dropping loot rather than only Lore.

We’re also excited to add two new seasonal cosmetics to the Lore Store for Easter and April
Fool’s Day. Starting today the Bunny Ears and the fan-favourite, Merling Skin, are available in
the Lore Store for free. Alongside the seasonal additions, cosmetic skins now have the option to
change their colour tone. Go forth my Purple Gobbo!

We hope this patch finds you well! Read on for full details:

[h2]Softlock Fixes[/h2]

• Lore Points.
  

[h2]UX/UI[/h2]

• Added a visual cue for Focus Refund.
  
• General improvements to the Focus Refund flow.

This patch addresses a variety of issues that players have been seeing in online games and addresses a handful of softlocks that are in both single and multiplayer. This update also includes the seasonal cosmetic for St. Patrick’s Day, the Lucky Suit!

We also revised how we will be releasing seasonal cosmetics based off of community feedback. During seasonal events the specific content will be a free purchase from the Lore Store. When cosmetics are “off season” they can still be purchased for a set Lore amount. This will allow anyone to be able to get the cosmetics no matter the year.


[h2]Online Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed an issue where using bombs online could lead to a softlock.
  
• Fixed an online desync that could occur when loading into Overworld.
  
• Fixed an online desync that could occur when double-clicking for movement.
  
• Fixed an online desync that could occur on certain focus usage in combat.
  
• Fixed an online desync when using a vision scroll and revealing POIs.
  
• Fixed an online desync that could occur when loading continuing a game in a dungeon.
  

[h2]Combat[/h2]

• Fixed the softlock caused by Shattered Mirror summoning a clone of a player that has the Eager trait equipped.
  
• Fixed the softlock caused by Bandit King summoning minions (and other bosses).
  
• Updated certain ability schedules to prevent instances where fights get in annoying stun lock situations. (We’re looking at you, spiders!)
  
• Fixed the issue where Guard was not being applied on subsequent waves in Siege battles.
  
• Fixed the issue where Bosses could flee from combat.
  
• Fixed the Kraken from showing up in random fights for some players.
  
• Fixed an issue where certain enemies wouldn’t play their correct death animation when dying from Thorn or Reflect damage.
  
• Fixed Daze so that it correctly affects abilities when players are Dazed (ie. Taunt, Equip).
  

[h2]Dungeons[/h2]

• Fixed an issue where reviving a player after a trap death the character model wouldn’t appear until the next combat.
  

[h2]Overworld[/h2]

• Fixed the softlock that was occurring when randomly entering towns.
  

[h2]UX/UI[/h2]

• Updated the companion HUD windows to better show their abilities.
  
• Fixed an issue with certain tooltips overlapping when playing in Korean.
  
• Fixed an issue where the Kraken’s HP wouldn’t update on a kill blow.
  

All players will need to have updated to the latest build to play together in Multiplayer.
