Patch 1.005 - Temporary Fix for UI Issues - Codename: Confined

[h3]Hey Folks, [/h3]

This one is mostly just a quick temporary fix, for the time being, aimed at circumventing an underlying UI bug that causes several interfaces to soft-lock or to stop responding, breaking the game for some players. We are working on a permanent fix for the issue but until then, some buttons on the UI that cause the lock are disabled:

Companion and Deputies while on the Leader UI
Assign Deputies on the camp UI
Companion Stats button on the camp UI

You can use all of these functions while not resting or not in settlement.

We have also implemented a forced UI rebuild when Loading a save file, this will help by shortening the time of getting out of a soft-lock/UI glitch.

Bear with us.

In the meantime, we've fixed a few other things, included in this hotfix. Check out the list below.

Important Note: Considering the extent of these improvements there is little to no chance that we broke nothing in the process. Assume that we did not want to make anyone's life harder. If you see something amiss, please flag it to us using the usual channels, like the inbuild reporting tool (F1 button), forums, and our Discord server.

Now let's jump into the details:

[h2]Patch 1.005 - Temporary Fix for UI Issues - Codename: Confined[/h2]

[h3]New/Updated Features :shiny:[/h3]

Garrik's personal storyline's final NPC portraits were added

[h3]Bug Fixes :bug:[/h3]

The issue causing drag and drop not to work properly (or at all) for Deputies is now fixed
For now, UI-related issues can be fixed by reloading a savegame (instead of restarting the whole game as before). NOTE that it is a temporary solution aimed at lessening the impact for you while we are investigating the underlying cause of the UI bug. Because of this, until we fix the major UI-related bugs, some buttons will be deactivated! These are: Companion and Deputies while on the Leader UI; Assign Deputies and Companion Stats buttons on the camp UI.
A lot of Event-related small fixes based on player feedback
The quest 'One Last Job' can now be turned in in Deven without having to unlock the Dark Elf Prince
Fighter and Outrider consumption is now properly affected by Equipment and other effects
Hunting extra loot (like Hides, Bones) is no longer accidentally overwritten by Supplies

Known Issues:

The above-mentioned UI glitches still persist
The later part of the Wealth victory path / Outpost building is not yet in
Some performance issues (including longer initial loading time)

[h2]Coming Up Next[/h2]

The rest of the outpost building and Wealth victory path
Faction leaders for the two crime syndicates
Smaller user interface fixes/improvements

Born out of tabletop D&D, Vagrus: The Riven Realms has left Early Access

Vagrus: The Riven Realms has left Steam's Early Access programme, and the official launch has added a huge amount of content to the dark strategy RPG game. Early Access players have been tinkering with Vagrus since 2018, its development story begins much earlier, in tabletop RPG sessions played by a small group of friends 30 years ago.

Version 1.0 of Vagrus launched this week, already having pulled in 'very positive' reviews on Steam during Early Access. That's despite it being a complex, text-heavy, and brutal RPG that leans heavily into the pen-and-paper roleplaying systems its creators have always loved and played together.

In Vagrus, you play as the commander of a traveling caravan, and it's your job to manage your company and keep everyone alive as you travel across the post-apocalyptic wasteland of the Riven Realms. The world is big and open, and much of the game's joy is found in exploring new locations and discovering the stories and people hidden there. You'll also find all kinds of twisted monsters and undead, who you'll have to fight in turn-based battles that require careful attention to characters' abilities and positioning.

Vagrus - The Riven Realms is a deep and slow post-apocalyptic fantasy RPG out now

Slow, lots of reading involved and pretty deep mechanically with lots to keep an eye in, Vagrus - The Riven Realms is officially out now.

A New Build is OUT - Patch 1.001. - Codename: No Rest for the Wicked

[h3]Hey Everyone,[/h3]

Let us begin by thanking you all again for all the constructive feedback as well as the positive reception of the release of Vagrus! Of course, as most releases go with complex games, we managed to slip some glithces past testing before hitting 1.0, so today we're releasing a hotfix for these as well as adding more variety to character creation for the open world campaign.

Important Note: There is a small chance that we broke something with the update. Please assume that we did not want to make anyone's life harder. If you see something amiss, please flag it to us using the usual channels, like the inbuild reporting tool (F1 button), forums, and our Discord server.

Vagrus - The Riven Realms is OUT NOW!

The day is upon us! Vagrus - The Riven Realms is out now!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

And by Ahskul what a journey this has been so far. Speaking of which, there is a bit of a parallel here that could be drawn between caravans trudging across a barren, post-apocalyptic dark fantasy world and a tiny studio scrambling to deliver a huge open-world game but we let's not go there on this fine day! :D

What's truly important in this whole journey is that it would not have been possible without the continued, constructive, persistent support of so many of you, the players. Everyone who spent hours and hours delving into the Early Access, everyone who dropped a few kind words or a review of the game, shared posts, talked to friends about Vagrus, sent bug reports, pointed out typos, and of course, bought the game - you are what made all this work worth it. If you could keep this up by playing the game and sharing this post we would be eternally grateful.

Size and Content
With companion questlines, a new companion, and a new region, the game grew by about 30-35% compared to the last public Early Access build, with a lot of UI and feature improvements. Because of this large amount, there are certainly still glitches here and there but the team is ready and eager to address those as they rear their ugly heads. We also have some unfinished business regarding the Wealth victory path and the adding of new playable races, which we'll get around to presently.

For a detailed description of what is to come, check out the previous devlog post here. Below you will find the full patch notes, which is basically the same in a bullet point list.

The Future
Because the Riven Realms have been part of our lives in one form or another for 30 years, rest assured that we have no intention of abandoning the game now that 1.0 is out, of course. On the contrary, our plans involve improving mechanics, adding content, and creating DLCs if there is a demand. We'll share more detailed plans when the tumult of the release abates somewhat.

And again, thank you for coming along for the journey with the Lost Pilgrims!

Important Note: Considering the extent of these improvements there is little to no chance that we broke nothing in the process. Assume that we did not want to make anyone's life harder. If you see something amiss, please flag it to us using the usual channels, like the inbuild reporting tool (F1 button) and our Discord server.
