Patch Notes
The bootstrapper has been removed so the game will automatically log-in when you launch it from Steam and will no longer re-download files on startup.
The overlay has been removed and all functionality associated with it has been either built into the game or replicated using Steam services.
When you download the update you will need to transfer any local save files you have into a new directory. Here’s how to do that:
Go to “Steam\steamapps\common\DunDefEternity\BINARIES\WIN32\” and find the file called “DunDefHeroes74.dun.tag_0”
Drag that file over to “Steam\steamapps\common\DungeonDefendersEternity\BINARIES\WIN32\”
Then, delete the entire DunDefEternity directory to save yourself some 6GBs of hard drive space.

Over $57 Million Paid Out To Steam Workshop Creators
$57 million US is a lot of money. So’s $58 million, but I mention $57m specifically because that’s how much Valve have paid out since 2011 to folks who made and sold in-game items for their games. It’s over $57 million dollars from hats, knives, guns, staves, and swords across TF

Content Creators Earn Over $50M Through Steam Workshop, Can Now Earn Money in More Games
When we launched the Workshop late in 2011, we expected that it would grow, but not that it would grow this much, this quickly. So far, the total payments made to individuals for the creation of in-game items sold in Team Fortress 2, Dota 2, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive h
