Here is the change log for Patch 1.0.3 (r6673) ONLY AVAILABLE ON THE PUBLIC TEST BRANCH:

Features:

• Added hunting during winter, not all animals hibernate.
  
• Winter is tough, time to forage for survival.

• Fixed several sync issues around island transitions.

Greetings Monarchs!

This is a long-awaited patch! We hoped we would be able to push this patch live earlier, but we decided to wait and get all the important bug fixes in before releasing. We plan to patch Kingdom Two Crowns more regularly in the coming weeks. We really hope you will enjoy this patch.

Hello, Monarchs!

We are pleased to announce that Hotfix Patch 1.0.1 is now LIVE! Please be aware that we know there are still issues that have not been addressed in this patch. We wanted to fix as many critical issues as possible prior to the holiday season, when things will start moving a bit slower. Thank you for your patience as we continue to improve your Kingdom experience. We would also like to thank everyone who has been submitting bug reports and sending in suggestions for what they would like to see in Kingdom Two Crowns.

• Fixed an issue where an infinite loading screen could occur if the connection failed when attempting to join a Steam friend
  
• Fixed an issue involving the Stables and multiplayer games (aka Steed Save Corruption) - this will also patch affected save data, so you shouldn't need to restart your campaign
  
• Added a fix for corrupted, almost empty save data, that was sometimes caused by having a connection attempt fail with very particular timing
  
• Fixed an issue that caused pikemen to fish double money when in an online game
  
• Fixed an issue that caused the bow and hammer shops to be unusable by the client, if they joined after the scythe shop had been placed
  
• Fixed that hermits would wander outside of the kingdom, searching for a place to stand, to their eventual demise
  
• Fixed that workers would also wander outside of the walls during greed attacks
  
• Fixed an unlock requirement for the 'There is No Greater Ruler Than Thou' achievement
  
• Fixed an issue where swapping steeds spawned by the Stables repeatedly in an online game could cause ridden steeds to move independently
  
• Fixed an issue with having hermits as passengers when a remote client pays to embark on the boat

• Buffed the ninja, and reduced the hire cost
  
• Reduced a few steeds' ride costs (Bear, Stamina Horse, Unicorn/Kirin, Lizard and Warhorse)

• Added a way for players to manually dismount their hermit passengers (flip back and forth rapidly to expel unwanted hermits)
  
• Updated the credits

We are still working hard on fixing critical issues like:

• Knights not attacking portals if player arrived in an intact boat
  
• Blacksmith/Catapult shop not appearing
  
• Items rotating when purchased by clients
  
• Difficulty to find co-op controls
  
• Bread from the bakery disappearing

Please note that you will need to start a new campaign for the game to properly generate the balance changes into your Kingdom. In order to do that follow these steps:

• Allow your current game to load
  
• Open the menu
  
• Select "Campaign"
  
• Select a blank campaign save
  
• Enjoy the changes!

Once again, we would like to say thank you to all the monarchs who have helped us track and identify these bugs. We will continue to work diligently on Kingdom Two Crowns and the big 2019 QoL patch. Happy Holidays!
