Dresden Files Cooperative Card Game News

Version 2.1.3 is now available. This is a small but important fix for the issue that was causing games to stop advancing.

Version 2.1.2 is here with some fixes for a few bugs. Most of these are fixed thanks to reports sent in by you, our players.

This new version is not compatible for network play with previous versions due to the nature of a couple of these fixes.

[h3]Bugs fixed in version 2.1.2:[/h3]

• Gameplay no longer gets stuck when taking an advantage that adds its fate cost as damage/clues to a target when that target is no longer on the board. For example, Marcone's New Deal in Battle Ground no longer causes the game to get stuck when Steal the Eye of Balor has already been solved.
  
• Corrected the fate calculations on cards with Fate rolls when both Molly Carpenter and River Shoulders use their talents to adjust the cost.
  
• The "Try Again" button on the defeat screen in multiplayer network games should now work correctly when the game's host uses it before all the other players have disconnected.
  
• Spectacled Sasquatch no longer occasionally causes the game to stop advancing. This was primarily seen in multiplayer, with the players other than River Shoulders getting stuck.
  
• Corrected the error in the text of the "Marcone's New Deal" card. The card had an extra "the" in the card text.
  
• The controller disconnected dialog now dismisses properly after reconnecting controllers if it comes up during a turn change in the tutorial.
  

[h2]Release notes for version 2.1.1[/h2]

Gameplay bugs fixed in this version include:

• River Shoulders' "Spectacled Sasquatch" talent no longer causes the game to get stuck when the prompt is declined.
  
• The "Winter's Banner" card in Battle Ground no longer causes the game to get stuck when the current player / Harry have either 0 or 1 cards in their hand.
  
• The "German Warlocks" card in Side Jobs no longer causes the game to get stuck if the players have fewer than a combined total of 3 cards in their hands.
  
• The "Ethniu's Will" card in Battle Ground no longer causes the game to get stuck if it triggers an accidental showdown.
  

Other fixes and improvements:

• DualSense controllers now display the correct controller buttons.
  
• LAN discovery on the Steam Deck works much better and no longer occasionally locks up the app on exiting the screen / game.
  
• Improved navigation with game controllers, especially in the options screens. The Hidden Achievement account login is now a pop-up dialog instead of integrated into the Network screen so it doesn't steal controller navigation input on the screen.
  
• The backspace key no longer closes the bug reporting dialog.
  
• Several text fields that were set to a maximum size of 0 now have a sane maximum. Other platforms treated 0 as unlimited, while the Steam virtual keyboard interprets 0 as 0 and was preventing input in those fields.
  

The Faithful Friends expansion to the Dresden Files Cooperative Card Game is now available. The most anticipated additions in this new expansion are the book decks for Harry's most recent case files: Peace Talks and Battle Ground. In addition to the usual cases, foes, obstacles, and advantages in the previous decks, these new decks come with new game mechanics in the form of Crisis and Key cards. Crisis cards are both foes to defeat and cases to solve, while Key cards act as both obstacles and advantages. To help with the new challenges Harry will have to face, River Shoulders joins the existing companions in the form of a new character deck, while Waldo Butters gets an upgrade in a new variant deck as Sir Waldo.

River Shoulders, the spectacled sasquatch joins as a new companion, bringing the strength of the river combined with shamanic training to Harry’s side.

Everybody’s favorite medical examiner Waldo Butters has taken up the sword to join the fight in this new variant deck.

A small update, but an important one for the Steam Deck. This one is so small that we didn't even change the version number:

* Updated text entry boxes to activate the software keyboard on Steam Deck and in Big Picture mode
