Relic Hunters Legend News

Hey Hunters,
It has been a wildly fun week! Super happy to see so many people from all over playing in our little world. We put a lot of love and care into it, and we hope it shows!
Of course, this is Early Access - so there are still some wrinkles to iron out. Make sure to make your voice heard by joining our Discord!

HOTFIX - September 29th
=======================

• Fixed an issue with the Privacy settings where setting your lobby to "private" would still allow for random people to join unless you restarted the game.
  
• We are still working on addressing an issue that was causing players to become stuck in a black screen when entering the Secret Market. This hotfix also includes a change that will return players to the World Map instead of becoming stuck. From there, you can rejoin the Secret Market!
  

--

Thank you for all the love and all the feedback. We're continuing to monitor and investigate how to make Relic Hunters Legend the best experience possible! This is only the beginning for us, and we hope you all have a lot of fun during the weekend
Cheers,

The Rogue Snail Team

[h2]KNOWN ISSUES [/h2]

This is an in-development build of Relic Hunters Legend, so you may encounter some issues while you play. Below are some of the known issues you may encounter:

• Players may get soft-locked when playing Fight Like a Rebel's first Quest, due to their weapons not working properly during this mission. Leaving the Secret Market and reentering fixes this issue.
  
• Shift Overlay may display incorrect language in 'Rewards History' section
  
• Cannot send Trade invitation if your system datetime isn't at the expected according to international system datetime
  
• There are a few lines in some Story Missions that are in English even if you are playing in other languages
  
• Sometimes Private/Public Matchmaking options won’t work as expected
  
• Scoreboard may not show other players' custom cosmetics setup.
  
• Game Mode Announcements are sometimes resetting when the game is paused during a match.
  
• Game Mode Audio Announcements sometimes are playing the wrong audio clip.
  
• World Map paths sometimes do not represent the actual map node connection state properly.
  
• In-game map silhouettes are not visible for remote Players.
  
• Completing Special Missions does not always track progress.
  
• Using a melee attack as Seven has a small chance of rendering weapons non-functional.
  
• Collecting a Legendary weapon does not complete its respective Rebel Feat until the game is restarted.
  
• Beam weapons do not work against the Kami King’s vulnerable state.
  
• Possible to join Private Missions via ‘Help Others’ feature under certain conditions.
  
• ‘Breaking the Silence’ is not accessible during specific circumstances.
  
• When Raff uses Keytar Blast during her ultimate, she will swap the Keytar for her previously equipped weapon.
  
• Pinkyy’s ‘Short Fuse’ skill won't always work as expected
  
• When playing on ‘Energy Field’, 3rd drill will not work if at the South-Central position
  
• Sometimes certain Faction Quests mark all MapNodes as relevant to the completion of those Quests.
  
• Sometimes enemies are not interrupted when defeated or when crowd-controlled.
  
• Certain Item Affixes only have their texts written in English.
  
• Asteroid Dungeon Nemesis Greater Timeline map nodes have their graphics misaligned.
  
• Opening the SHiFT Overlay while using Steam Deck traps the player in the SHiFT Overlay screen, forcing them to use the Steam Deck Overlay to exit the game.
  
• It's currently possible to Level a Relic beyond Level 30. This is currently being addressed and Relics will be locked at the proper level cap. We recommend players to not spend Memories on Relics that are at Level 30 or above.
  

If you find bugs that aren't on this list, you can report them using the steps below! Thank you so much for being a part of our community, Hunter! ⭐


[h2]REPORTING BUGS [/h2]




If you encounter any issues while playing, there’s a handy built-in bug-reporting tool!
To access it, hit F3 on your keyboard. This will automatically take a screenshot and attach it to your report, so our team knows where the issue happened.



Next, fill out the Description text box with:

• What you were doing when the issue arose
  
• What the issue (bug) was
  
• Where you found it
  

For instance, if the audio suddenly cut out while playing in the Galyno Canyon stage, you would hit F3 and write:


“While playing in the Galyno Canyon stage with my party, the sound of the weapons disappeared right after I switched weapons and didn’t come back”.
