Update 3.1.1 - Critical Bug Fixes

Hi All,

We have released the 3.1.1 update, which is intended to address several of the critical bugs that players have raised since the release of Update 3.1. This is a mini-update that primarily fixes major bugs and brings some quality of life changes based on player feedback.

Changes
Looping Issues
We received a huge amount of feedback on the changes to gem spawning and matching resulting from the completion of the port to Unity. We fully understand players' frustration and thus wanted to rush out fixes to this as soon as possible. Please be aware that these fixes represent the first, easiest step but we will be looking to make more changes with subsequent updates to further address any remaining concerns.
  • Fixed Impervious trait from not blocking Devour and Mana Burn. Impervious is a hugely important tool for countering the current meta, so this should help with some of the worst impacts of the 3.1 Update.
  • Mana Surges no longer occur on 4 of a kind matches. As many players identified, we believe this was at the core of the issues. It enabled the enemy to fill much more quickly, and thus loop much more effectively, so this should help a great deal with the excessive looping players were experiencing.
  • Unfortunately, we are currently unable to provide specifics on what we are planning for subsequent updates, but please know that will be rolling out additional measures and will also continue always listening to player feedback so we find a good resolution.


Other Fixes
  • Fixed One-Shot Spells only triggering for each troop rather than all troops.
  • Increased the Guild Announcement Length to 255 characters based on player feedback.
  • Aspect ratio bug on console has now been fixed. You should be able to properly adjust the resolution of Gems of War to match your screen.
  • Included more tutorials for First Time Users.
  • Other various small bug fixes and improvements like issues with the levels of summoned troops
