Version Information
Steam Patch Notes
Official update history
Hello everyone! We have just pushed the changes that have been sitting on our coming_in_hot branch live.
Those changes include:
Another fix for the Colour of Madness loot window bug
Localization files should now use colors from the colors folder - This is only mod related and needs to be checked by modders if it works as they need to.
We have reverted our previous work surrounding the Trinkets expansion as it was not functioning as intended.
We are pushing a new build to 'coming_in_hot' on Steam for Darkest Dungeon. This build has only a few changes since the original 64-bit build was deployed.
Based on reports from you all we have reverted FMOD to the previous version due to the incompatibility it created with many mods, and the unlikely nature that those mods would be updated. While this does re-introduce some rare crashes that can occur, we felt this was the safer course of action given what we are trying to accomplish.
We wanted to add a special shout out to Cood Alume (aka Void Slime) from our Discord. He helped us test mods (mostly his own) against the update and was very helpful in investigating the issue.
Changelog for the build:
- FMOD reverted to previous version (due an incompatibility with some mods)
- In Butcher Circus, it's Not Possible to Win Match After Surrendering it Right After Beginning Anymore
- Missing Dismiss Hero Button When Switching From Stage Coach Hero Sheet to Roaster Hero Sheet
