The Butcher’s Circus

• Improved Results screen logic to help prevent the player from being stuck in an animation.
  
• Fixed an issue with Prestige results should no longer become inaccurate after the second match or later since booting the game.
  
• Fixed an issue with the results screen sometimes showing max prestige even without opening all rewards.
  
• Fix for the MaxPrestige achievement, it should no longer falsely trigger.

KNOWN ISSUES

We are still working to get improvements to the connection stability for players. This hotfix hopefully addresses some of those issues but also contained 2 common softlock and crash issues we wanted to resolve for those being affected. We will have more updates in the next day or so for other issues as we work through them.

Thank you to everyone playing and reporting their issues.

Greetings Hamlet Dwellers!

In preperation for the release for the DLC tomorrow we are pushing a base game build to our coming_in_hot public beta branch for players to help us test for any issues with the base game. Below are the patch notes for what has change in the base game since our last patch.

• Fixed positioning changes caused by AoE knockback and pull abilities
  
• Added stress heal received while camping buff to Meditator quirk
  
• Stress modifier vs [Enemy Type] buffs are now active while that enemy type is present in the combat. (Such as Fear/Hatred/Phobia quirks)
  
• Lowered Bloodmoon Radiant Light Dodge bonus to match Stygian (2.5%) instead of Radiant (7.5%)
  
• Plow Horse Color of Madness enemy won’t cause stall-related crashes when modded into non-wave combats
  
• Fixed enemy reinforcements crash in Darkest Dungeon location

Modding

• NEW DUNGEON RULES
  • Added "dots_can_deathblow". When false, bleed and blight no longer causes heroes to roll a death’s door check.
    
  • Added “deaths_door_test_survived_resistance_chance” to dungeon rules. A hero’s deathblow resistance is reduced by this amount each time they survive a death’s door check, cumulatively.

• NEW SKILL RULES
  • Combat skills with “.ignore_deathsdoor true” will deathblow instantly if they deal lethal damage, regardless of deathblow resist. The target will be killed even if it was not already on death’s door.
• NEW STATS
  • Added “deathblow_chance” which increases the chance of deathblow and is applied against deathblow resistance.
    
  • Added “heartattack_stress_heal_percent” which modifies the amount that stress is lowered after suffering a heart attack.
    
  • Added “buff_duration_percent” which increases the duration of buffs applied by the hero
