Legacy: Steel & Sorcery News

Hello Adventurers,

We have just uploaded Meet the Devs: Episode 8 – a special edition that took place just hours before our Early Access launch!

Join Chris along with Colin (Principal Level Designer) and Cole (Principal Artist) as they take a deep dive into our 3-year journey with Notorious, the challenges and triumphs of developing Legacy: Steel & Sorcery, and what the future holds. Of course, being on the brink of launch, we had to give Chris a little magic in his eyes for this one!

This session also included a live Q&A where the community got to ask Chris their burning questions about the game.

Watch the full episode below.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us—this is just the beginning!

Well Met, Players!

Thank you so much for your interest in Legacy: Steel & Sorcery. As much as we wanted to have a completely smooth launch yesterday, we unfortunately had a few issues that affected the experience for many of you, and for that, we're very sorry. We spent the entire day deploying fixes, and we're happy to share that the two biggest issues yesterday — 1) server connection issues and 2) an audio memory leak ("crackling") were resolved before the end of the day 🥳.

Today, we continue to be focused on stabilizing and deploying fixes to smoothen the experience for all of you. In this post we will detail out the top issues we're seeing, and what you can do to resolve them.

We're also working on a smaller patch that will include two new servers: Oceania (Sydney) and South America (Sao Paulo). Additionally, we are moving our Asia server from Singapore to Seoul to better serve our community in the region. We hope to have this deployed within the next 48 hours.

We are also focused on resolving further crashes, connection issues and including some quality-of-life fixes such as saving your default queue preference in the Adventure ("main menu") screen.

Thanks again for your support, and we apologize for all of the inconvenience. We will have more updates for you soon, in the meantime you can stay connected on Discord or follow us on X.

We hope to see you in Greenwood!

Founder, CEO Notorious

[h4]If your game crashes and you see the "Crash Reporter" window, you’re good![/h4]

Rest assured, submitting the report through that system helps us gather critical data to deploy a fix if needed.
