[h4]Coffer[/h4]

• Fixed an issue that prevented players from transferring items from their Coffer into their Inventory.

[h4]Environment[/h4]

• Fixed a visual glitch caused by a mud asset near Shrine of Adyr.
  
• Fixed an issue that allowed players to escape an invasion area by jumping on environment assets near the cemetery close to the Shrine of Adyr.

Check out our roadmap here.

#DareToBelieve

Today marks the arrival of Version 1.5 - Master of Fate, the culmination of over 30 updates released since launch, resulting in significantly improved performance, stability and optimisation, alongside rigorous difficulty balancing in response to your feedback.

As part of this, we’re delighted to also release our highly-anticipated Advanced Game Modifier System, available to all players (both new and old), granting the ability to fully customise your playthrough. This now concludes the Free Content Roadmap announced shortly after launch, which has added the following content and quality of life enhancements for Lords of the Fallen, vastly improving the experience for all players:

• Significant performance, optimisation and stability improvements
  
• Rigorous difficulty balancing including mob density reduction & nerfed ranged attacks
  
• Split PvP and PvE game balancing
  
• Online multiplayer enhancements for improved matchmaking and connection stability
  
• New questlines including Season of the Bleak, Trial of the Three Spirits, and Way of the Bucket
  
• New armour and weapon sets
  
• Additional secret boss weapon abilities
  
• Improved boss encounters with additional movesets & new AI
  
• 12 new spells including the arena-devastating Immolation
  
• New grievous strikes: each weapon family now features two unique finishers: one for single-handed wielding and another for two-handed wielding
  
• 3 new projectiles: Blood Vomit, Explosive Mines, and Frost Worms.
  
• QOL updates including: inventory expansion, appearance reset, storage functionality & gamepad rebinding

https://steamproxy.net/steamstore/app/1501750/Lords_of_the_Fallen/

The latest new feature – the Advanced Game Modifier System - places power directly into your hands, allowing you to fully customise your game experience, using any combination of seven modifiers, to make the game easier, more difficult, or simply a completely new experience every time. Modifiers include the ability to randomise enemies, alter mob density and even enable a form of permadeath. Please find additional details in the new video below, with an introduction from our Head of Studio, Saul Gascon:


Ironman: Dying in Umbral resets your current playthrough, and you will awaken at the start once again. The world progression is reset, but player progression and inventory is retained. Certain scripted moments are excluded from this.

Pre-Upgraded Loot: Weapons, shields and catalysts found as loot from enemies, or in the world, will come pre-upgraded based on your player level.

Randomized Loot: Loot dropped by enemies, and found in the world, is randomized. Does not affect quest and progression items, nor unique boss items.

Randomized Enemies: Enemies encountered in the world now appear in a random order. Does not impact named boss enemies.

More Enemies: The world contains significantly more enemies.

Withered Healing: All healing received is Withered Healing, and must be confirmed by dealing damage to enemies.

Vestige Decay:
- No Vestige Decay: No Vestige has withered away, leaving you all possible places of respite.
- Minor Vestige Decay: Some Vestiges have withered away, leaving you with fewer places of respite.
- Extensive Vestige Decay: Many Vestiges have withered away, often leaving you without rest for long stretches.
- Tremendous Vestige Decay: All Vestiges, except for a rare few, have withered away. Truly, a restless experience.


1. Start Lords of the Fallen

2. Choose New Game

3. Make your Class Selection and customize your character’s appearance

4. On the final screen of the Character Creator navigate to the right button Advanced Game Modifiers

5. Enable Advanced Game Modifiers

6. Choose a character name

7. Press Play

8. The Game Modifiers screen appears

9. Select any combination of modifiers, and Confirm.

------------------------------------------------
Alternatively, if you have already completed the game with a character, you can activate the Advanced Game Modifiers from any vestige by selecting "Restart Game". Please be aware that this will start a new playthrough.

If you have not completed the game yet but want to continue using that character with modifiers, you will need to complete the current run. The modifiers will become available when starting a new run.
------------------------------------------------

We hope you all enjoy returning to Mournstead with an all-new purpose, or if this is the first time you’re embarking, then the very best of luck, Lampbearer.

In Light, We Walk.


AMD FSR3

• Players can now make use of AMD's latest FSR version.

Additional Changes

• Fixed an issue in multiplayer that could cause the player to fall through the elevator, if the coop partner interacted with the corresponding lever while the elevator was still moving.
  
• Increased the maximum stack count of Vestige Seeds from 5 to 99.
  
• Fixed a rare crash caused by AI under special circumstances.

Import AMD Driver Update (April 25, 2024)

• Over the last weeks and months, we have been working with AMD to improve stability of Lords of the Fallen. In case you encounter any stability issues with your AMD hardware, please download the latest AMD driver here, as this new version should improve stability significantly.
  https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/release-notes/RN-RAD-WIN-24-4-1.html

Hotfix (April 29. 2024)

• Fixed an issue with shader compilation on some hardware setups that caused stutters when accessing new areas in Mournstead. This fix results in a longer loading time before reaching the main menu (due to shader compilation), but eliminates gameplay stutters with the correct graphic settings applied. We recommend using the Auto-Detect button.

#DareToBelieve

Greetings Lampbearers,

Join us this week as we delve deep into our recent work on performance optimization, bug fixing, and gameplay tweaks.

Today’s Highlights:

Pieta Bossfight & HUB Performance Optimization
You may notice that on your way to Skyrest, there is some construction work going on in Mournstead, this is to allow Pieta enough time to get fully battle-ready for your upcoming duel.


AMD Stability Improvement
We’ve extensively worked with our partners over at AMD to identify and resolve crashes experienced by players with AMD-specific hardware.


Ending Blocker Fixed
From players’ reports through our support we were able to uncover and resolve a rare blocker that prevented finishing the game. This issue should now be fixed. If you come across any other issues within Lords of the Fallen, please reach out via support@cigames.com. Huge thanks to Kal1ber_ for working with us on this, and sending in their save file, this aided in the swift resolution.

PVP Balancing
As alluded to above, in this patch we have turned our attention to various PVP balancing, to increase overall player satisfaction in multiplayer.

• PVP damage multiplier reduced 0.5 > 0.25 - From your feedback and our own experiences, we felt that time-to-kill was disproportionate to optimal combat. As a result, we have decreased the PVP damage multiplayer by half, this should allow all players the opportunity to engage in more gratifying combat.
  
• Stabs PVP damage multiplier increased overall (1.0 > 2.0 for all weapons except UGS, which is 1.0 > 1.25) - Lacking a certain oomph that we felt stabbing in combat deserved, we have increased the overall PVP damage multiplier by 2x (except UGS). This should increase the desire to perform effective stabs whilst in PVP combat.
  
• Harrower Dervla's Crossbow PVP damage overall reduced 1.0 > 0.33 - We have noticed a popular combo dominate PVP combat in recent weeks, which we felt needed some slight balancing to increase the variety of play. As such, we have reduced the PVP damage for Harrower Dervla's Crossbow from 1.0 to 0.33.
  
• Various spell PVP rebalancing - We have made an overall balancing pass of spells, elevating some spells that could do with an increase in damage, whilst decreasing the damage of other spells that appeared too strong.
  
• PVP Status Effect buildup multiplier 0.66 > 0.5 - Due to data observed on our end, we concluded that the PVP status effect buildup was too strong, as a result, we have decreased the buildup multiplier.
  
• Dual wield status effect buildup reduced 1.0 > 0.7 - Lastly, we have decreased the Dual wield status buildup effect to positively impact the health of player combat.

In light, we walk.
HEXWORKS Team

• Fixed a rare crash in multiplayer, that could cause clients to crash when the host's tombstone appeared.

#DareToBelieve

Greetings Lampbearers,

Leading to this update, we have committed to an extensive optimisation pass of Mournstead, featuring numerous enhancements and tweaks to drastically improve performance on all machines. Alongside this, we have also focused on the inventory system once more to avoid and remove duplicates.

Please find today’s highlights below:


Optimization Pass
In parallel to the previous updates, we’ve been working on an extensive optimization pass, introducing another significant boost to optimization, going live today on all platforms.


Updated Graphic Settings
We’ve adjusted the graphic settings for the Low graphics profile to get an additional boost in performance for low end machines. We’ve also tuned some default settings to accommodate our player base hardware based on the data you’ve been sending us through Sentry.

Additionally, we’ve introduced a new Cinematic setting for the latest, most powerful, hardware, so you can squeeze the full power of Unreal Engine 5. Please beware that this will have an impact on performance.

If you have any doubt on how to use the tweaked graphic settings, please use the “Auto-Set” button and Unreal will do the benchmarking work for you, establishing the best possible settings.


Inventory Cleanup of Duplicates
We’ve been hard at work implementing a new system management tool that affects how duplicates (spells, quest items, etc.) interact with your inventory. From this patch onwards, any duplicates within your inventory will be removed automatically, as well as preventing collecting any duplicates going forward.



Additional Information for best performance and stability:


Laptop Players
Please ensure that you are not in eco-mode or battery-saving, as these modes will reduce the performance of the game drastically. You might want to review your OS settings to make sure it’s in the performance mode for best results.


Intel CPU Crashes
On Sentry we've observed some crashes from Intel 13700k or 13900k CPUs. If you have any of these and are experiencing crashes, please consider adjusting the bios settings for gaming, as explained here[www.tomshardware.com].




Thanks again to all of you who report your issues through Sentry, this helps us tremendously to identify the issues of each specific hardware configuration.

In light, we walk.
