Recently, Steam has reviewed all games to see how well they function on the Steam Deck. If you are not aware, the Steam Deck is a hand-held device running a Windows compatable OS. It has a 7.4" diagonal screen and is intended for twitch style games.
Steam has determined that The D100 Dungeon Computer Companion will function on the Steam Deck, but that there will be difficulty reading the text.
While is appears to be a very nice device, we do not support the Steam Deck at all. The Computer Companion was designed to run on desktops and laptops. Further, we do not own a Steam Deck, so we have no means to test or debug any issues.
We do not recommend running the Computer Companion on the Steam Deck and will not support the Steam Deck in any way. We strongly recommend that you run The Computer Companion on a desktop or laptop.
We are very excited to announce that the Computer Companion has been updated to version 4. This is an entirely new version that introduces exciting new features and support for The Lost Tome of Extrordinay Rules. Version 4 is a free upgrade from version 3. It will automatically u
Version 4 is a free upgrade from version 3. It will automatically upgrade the adventurer file to version 4. (The version 3 adventure file will be saved as "[original name].xml.V3 - or .V2 as appropriate".)
The Lost Tome of Extraordinary Rules is available on Steam as a DLCs which can be purchased using the Steam console or withing the game (Settings/Features). Note that like the Computer Companion, the PDFs and printed books must be purchased separately.
.
As already mentioned, all features in The Lost Tome of Extraordinary Rules are now supported.
A new means to be able to move items in-between various locations: On the Ground. This permits more complicated moves between equipment, backpack, etc. It also formalizes a place for deleted items prior to their full deletion. It is well documented in the Help system.
The before-your-next-quest log is now saved and restored.

A new setting: Display/Main Window Left Right Border. When enabled, it adds a small border to the left and right of the main window to help set off the interior windows. This is useful when the main window is displayed maximized.

Note that if multiple rolls are required to locate an appropriate equipment slot only the last successful roll will be shown.
A new setting group: Features. This allows the individual books (DLC's) to be enabled/disabled. While this was added primarily for testing, some users may find this useful as the Companion does change based on what books have been purchased.

Items acquired during a quest can no longer be sold upon acquisition. They may only be sold during the Before Your Next Quest phase.
When entering an area, the footprints used to be placed at the exit that was used to enter the area. They will now be placed on the exit opposite face of the area. If that face does not contain an exit, another face will be chosen, ending with the face that was entered.

When one of the three Boosts that repair items (Mend, Repair, Fixed) are applied and there is nothing available to repair, a message will be displayed instead of requiring Cancel to be selected.

We apologize to everyone that The Lost Tome of Extraordinary Rules DLC was not available after the previous anouncement. We forgot about Steam's review process for new DLC's. It is now available on the store!

At the beginning of turn, step 2 - Exits, there is a test to determine if the conditions require the building of a secret tunnel. This is to account for the special case when all exits have been blocked. Prior to this build, this test was known as the can-continue-quest test and would determine if it was possible to continue the quest by testing exits, doors, geographic, area search state, etc. If not, then the user would be prompted to add a secret tunnel. This was a mis-interpretation of the rules.
The test is now known as the need-secret-tunnel test. If any of the following conditions are true, then there will be no prompt to add a secret tunnel:
1) Any reachable exit is unblocked and a new area could be added at that exit.
2) There is a reachable stairway that has not been descended.
3) There is a reachable un-opened door.
4) There is a reachable geographic feature (e.g. Boulder) that blocks progress but has not been opened.
Note that due to this change, it is possible for a quest to be impossible to finish! This will force you to need to fail the quest. This is consistent with the rules.
Changed:
There were a few cases where the Companion would not show an available choice if exercising the choice was impossible. As an example, for Geographic Grate, "Lift Grate" would not be available if the adventurer did not have enough Strength. (Note that it also factored in some spells, brews, and skills.)
All of these have been removed as they were crossing the line between making it easier to play and actually assisting the user.
