Heroes of Hammerwatch News

Some quick fixes for new issues that came up from the last patch.

* Added missing Linux executables
* Fixed mods not properly unloading and loading when switching profiles
* Fixed incorrect delay to animation for the game camera
* Fixed coop HUD misalignement for some resolutions
* Fixed misaligned minimap text
* Fixed load screen text misalignment
* Fixed UI animation rate when the game is paused
* Fixed forced aspect ratio rendering
* Fixed not being able to bind actions to the mouse wheel
* Added smooth scrolling option to graphics option menus
* Possible crash fix

This has been a long time coming, sorry about not getting this patch out much sooner.

We wanted to bring many of the engine improvements from Hammerwatch 2 to Heroes of Hammerwatch, this has taken longer than we expected and we're sorry about the lack of communication from us.

A lot of our core technology has been updated and to no longer use the unstable networking service it was previously.
Mainly this is a fix aimed at improving multiplayer experience, but it should also improve stability and performance in general.

* Multiplayer now runs only over Steam when two or more Steam users play together
* Set bonus descriptions are now more consistent across sets
* "Not your lucky day" now works as expected
* Fixed a fringe case where resistance bonuses wouldn't show correctly on the character sheet
* Splitshot Ballista now appears in bestiary
* Improvements to issues with getting pushed out of bounds in Battlements
* Some visual minimap fixes
* Moon Temple reworked to be a bit more free to spread out in multiplayer
* Editor now supports rotation and 3d models
* Performance Improvements

We’re excited to announce that the long-awaited sequel to Hammerwatch is now available! Hammerwatch II offers an improved, richer Hammerwatch gameplay experience with all-new immersive environments to explore. Quest, collect items, fight new enemies, and go up against challenging bosses - all in four-player co-op.

You can purchase Hammerwatch II as a standalone game or in a special edition package called Hammerwatch II: The Chronicles Edition, which contains Hammerwatch II, the Hammerwatch Anniversary Edition, and the Hammerwatch II Anniversary Pack DLC.

About Hammerwatch II

Blight the Horrible and his dragon army have succeeded in the sinister plot to overthrow King Roland and bring destruction across the Kingdom of Herian, but hope hides deep within the sewer system, where the King’s resistance movement holds strong. On the King’s order, a select few of mighty and skilled heroes have been entrusted with defeating Blight’s dragons and restoring the Kingdom.

Adventure alone or gather a party to aid King Roland’s resistance in online four-player co-op, tackling the diverse and epic quests in Hammerwatch II’s vast, dynamic world. Journey through Hammer Island, the Fallowfields, and the dark mountainous regions of Blackbarrow all created in the signature Hammerwatch pixelated art style. Build a custom Hero and choose between five distinct character classes: Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, Wizard and Warlock before customizing a hero’s appearance and leveling up to unlock powerful new abilities and skills.
