We’re happy to report the next hotfix is now live. We really appreciate your patience with allowing us time to investigate and really test to ensure these fixes stick.
Thank you for bearing with us and for your continued support and feedback. It’s all very much appreciated!
For the list of changes for this specific hotfix, please see the full notes below 👇
Hotfix 3 Change List
Fixes
Fixed an issue where Lantern sometimes wouldn’t heal other players in multiplayer
Fixed an issue where stats from Accomplishments wouldn’t be propagated in multiplayer
Cleared some of the Spirit Trials prefabs for better traversal and visual clarity
Boss appearance in the Spirit Trials now kills all nearby enemies
Hunter’s Hound boon now only counts player units with the summon tag
Dev Note: The intention behind Hunter’s Hound was always to let players be a little creative with boosting their numbers with less obvious units such as Ranger’s traps, Priest’s Inner Light orbs or mercenaries, but gaining thousands of Attack Power through Caltrops was a little too much.
Tag Changes
Conjured Hydra now carries the summon tag
Conjured Sword now carries the summon tag
Fiends now carry the summon tag
Gargoyle now carries the summon tag
Wolf Companion now carries the summon tag
Trinket Spiderlings now carry the summon tag
Ranger Traps now carry the summon tag
Primalist Totem now carries the summon tag
Inner Light orbs now carry the summon tag
Consecrated Ground now carries the physical tag
Flagellate now carries the physical tag
Scepter attacks no longer carry the melee tag
Scepter attacks now carry the physical tag
Dirk attacks now carry the poison tag
Dev Note: We’re intent on fixing all the missing tags by the next free update’s launch. Let us know if you still encounter abilities that deal a type of damage without carrying the corresponding tag.
Balancing Changes
Fervent Followers bonus to summon power increased from 3% to 5%
Lantern and Scepter Focus requirements reduced by around 20%
Holy Blast cooldown increased from 8 to 10 seconds
Holy Blast move speed while channeling has been tripled
The tooltip for Holy Blast’s Divine Blast skill orb now lists damage per second, consistent with the base skill
Slightly increased the range of Hydra’s projectiles
Flagellate damage conversion from Thorns reduced from 60%-80% to 50%-70%
Flagellate Jagged Flail’s chance for self Bleed reduced from 50% to 33%
Dev Note: These are likely the last balance adjustments before the upcoming free update. It will focus on changes that require actual reworks, including fixes for underused Spirit Boons, skill orbs, and weapons, or a way to make Bleed relevant in the late game. We’d like to take this opportunity to voice our gratitude for all the community feedback, as it’s been massively useful. Thanks, folks, and keep it coming!
Small patch to fix a bug that we became aware of during yesterday's Celestial Ruins Hotfix 2:

Hotfix 2 Change List
Fixes
Further improvements to pet behavior
Summons now correctly attack Arista and other static enemies
Improved spawn point consistency for the Survival mission
Improved enemy aggro values for the Survival mission

Celestial Orbs can now crit and correctly scale with Spell Power
Corrected missing SFX in the Trials skill orb spawn sequence
Dev Note: We’re aware that the Lantern doesn’t heal other players in multiplayer in some scenarios. We’ve identified the issue, but the fix will take a bit more time to roll out.
Balancing Changes
Increased Armor and Resists for Priest’s summons
Increased Armor and Resists for Ranger’s summons
Increased Armor and Resists for Warlock’s summons
All player summons and recruits are faster and more proactive
Call Crusaders damage increased from 40-120 to 60-140

Dev Note: The blanket buff to summons is part of a larger summon upgrade coming in the next Free Update.
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!
