Your feedback both in the Steam community forums, and in reviews, has been invaluable! Thank you for sharing them so candidly and constructively. Happy to report that the hotfix is now live for you to enjoy and experiment with. A lot of these changes are a direct result of your suggestions.
These are by no means the final word on balancing and fixes. We're very much keeping our ear to the ground and seeing how the new meta shakes out. The next update is designed to be a much more involved balance pass, but that doesn't mean additional hotfixes won't be considered should the need arise sooner!
Keep the feedback coming. The community plays a vital role in helping to shape what this game will become, and we want you on that journey with us.
For a full list of changes, please see the hotfix notes below 👇
Hotfix 1 Change List
Fixes
Fixed an issue where Architect’s Safe Corridors buff wouldn’t work correctly
Improved pet behavior and item pickup range
Increased enemy spawn point generation in the Heaven biome
Higher rank Trials now correctly require more kills to complete
Adjusted some rare cases where Holy Banner's effect could be delayed resulting in damage coming through (this is an ongoing fix and we will continue to address these issues when found)
Priest Balance Changes
Priest title bonus increased from 0.025 to 0.050
Dev Note: We’re open to further increasing this bonus, but want to stick to small increments, as health regen is a tricky stat to balance due to its impact on the potion economy. While the value seems small, a high level Priest is now equivalent to starting each game with several regen trinkets.
Holy Banner cooldown increased from 30s to 40s
Dev Note: Holy Banner is intended to be a high impact skill that has to be deployed tactically in normal play. However, we’re not against specialised builds that push cooldown reduction to the point of keeping it up semi-permanently, as long as they don’t become the preferred meta pick. We’ll continue to monitor this skill with a more robust rework on the menu if it proves necessary.
Celestial Orbs damage increased from 16-24 to 20-40
Holy Blast damage increased from 200-600 to 400-800
Holy Blast now also carries the Physical tag
Inner Light’s Celestial Orbs damage increased from 10-30 to 20-60
Divine Favor’s Holy Flames damage increased from 15-30 to 25-50
Divine Endurance’s Divine Intervention reworked from 500HP flat to 50% of max HP
Flagellate’s Ecstasy reworked from a flat bonus of 5-15 to 2%-4% Thorns increase per stack
Dev Note: These changes are by no means the final word on Priest’s balance. A bigger look at all the skills is planned for the upcoming free update. We’re very grateful for all the feedback received so far and look forward to seeing how the meta shapes up!

We’ve just released a hotfix for Heroes of Hammerwatch 2 which is intended to resolve game performance issues that players using the Chinese language options have been encountering.
We hope that this hotfix will allow you to properly enjoy Heroes of Hammerwatch 2 without suffering stuttering and low FPS.
We have also seen some players report that they have had issues with the game not recognizing WSAD keyboard inputs. We are also looking into that as a priority.
In the meantime, we have a workaround to temporarily resolve it. Pressing the Shift Key on the keyboard to toggle between Chinese and English input modes should allow you to use WSAD control.
If you have any issues, make sure you report them to us using the Report a Problem section on the Steam forums which can be found here!
