Hi Talisman and Warhammer fans! ːBlueTalismanː

Today we're taking part in the massive Warhammer Skulls event here on Steam! If you haven't given your skulls to the skull throne yet, head on over to the showcase page on Steam to check out all the Warhammer goodness on offer: http://store.steampowered.com/sale/skulls/

As part of the Skulls event, we've also added some brand-new challenges and rewards to Talisman: Digital Edition for the duration of the event, which you can unlock in-game to show off to your friends and enemies! You'll be able to find the new challenges under the 'Challenges' tab on your profile.



We've also put everything Talisman: Digital Edition on sale, along with Fury of Dracula: Digital Edition, another digital board game adaptation of a classic Games Workshop title.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/958530/Fury_of_Dracula_Digital_Edition/
And finally, we've also just officially launched Talisman: Digital Edition onto Xbox for the first time! Pretty soon you'll be able to play Talisman on every device known to man, so keep your eye out for an upcoming Sega Game Gear port that definitely maybe possibly is happening (not really).

Embark on your quest for the Crown of Command now, and may Khorne favour you! ːlog_skullː

Hey Talisman fans! ːblueTalismanː

Today we've rolled out a new patch for Talisman: Digital Edition, which improves a bunch of things in the game! The key highlights are:

• End of game stability fixes (We were finally able to consistently recreate this internally, meaning you should now be able to finish games and get your earned EXP!)
  
• Witch Hunter nerfed from 4/4 to 3/3 (We've heard your request to adjust the Witch Hunter as they are too powerful in dedicated PVP scenarios - we'll keep an eye on how people react to him now he's been adjusted)
  
• Fixed losing progress when increasing post-game goals (Along with the end of game stability fixes, this should help make sure you get the right EXP when you finish a game)
  
• Gamepad Board and UI Navigation updated (We've made a couple of improvements to help you get around when using a gamepad, and the UI has also had a few updates)
  
• New Quick-Use menu for Cards in the 'Usable Cards' tab (This is something we've been asked about implementing, so please give it a try and let us know what you think!)
  
• We're hoping that we've also fixed the issue where people's challenge points weren't resetting as they should at the end of the month.
  
• Crash Fixes
  

In more Talisman: Digital Edition news, we've also just announced that we're bringing the game to Xbox! You can read all about it over on our official website.

Hi Talisman fans! ːbluetalismanː

First of all, we're pleased to confirm that we've addressed a startup-crash problem that some players have. Talisman: Digital Edition now attempts to continue if a crash occurs when initialising the graphics system and will attempt to use the following APIs:-

• dx11
  
• dx12
  
• opengl
  

If you still have problems with the game crashing when you start it up, or you know which one you want to use, you can add a launch option to Talisman like this:



And the three different launch options are:

--dx11
--dx12
--opengl

Now, onto the patch notes for todays update!

• Several missing Space SFX added in
  
• Fixed a few places where translations were missing
  
• The stat 'Denizens Visited' wasn't triggering correctly
  
• Astrolabe Challenge fixed
  
• Challenges now show their Expiry date even when completed
  
• Challenges Expiry times should be much more reliable
  
• Challenges no longer determined by local times
  

We've also made a change to the challenge system which means that the time-based challenges now pull information from our own servers instead of the local computer. This should make it fairer to everyone competing to get those tasty challenge points!

Hey Talisman fans! ːblueTalismanː

We've got a small patch for you all today, just updating some things:

• Rework of stat syncing which should make it more reliable
  
• Movement of Ghost in the Deep Realms has been revisited and they should no longer be getting stuck there
  
• Nomad and Pathfinder's movement abilities should now be working correctly again
  
• Werewolf NPC can now enter shops (but because he doesn't have pockets, he sadly can't buy anything)
  
• Fixed a number of Challenges
  
• Fixed an issue with Challenges not registering as completed until the next turn
  
• Stashed items are now un-stashed when a player stops being the Scavenger
  
• The Cloak of Shadows Spell can finally be claimed and used by the Gypsy
  

We hope you're all enjoying the Challenge Update still, and we're going to keep working on more fixes and updates as always! ːheartː
