Hey there folks!
We've been monitoring the forums closely since yesterday and found out several very annoying bugs thanks to you. We're rolling out a hotfix in a beta branch to help fix these issues.
How to I switch to the Beta Branch?
- Open your Steam Library
- Right click Solasta: Crown of the Magister
- Click on "Properties"
- Select the "Beta" Tab
- Select "Springhotfix" in the list
- Done! It should now download the update. If not, just close and restart steam
What does it fix?
- Fix being unable to save
- Fix being unable to load after a game over
- Fix being unable to leave Caer Cyflen after the tutorial (you may need to load a previous save)
- Fix some crashes occurring when using the Dungeon Maker
- Fix Sorak Saboteurs having Sneak Attack when they are supposed to
- Fix a crash when starting a fight via proxy spell (like Dancing Light or Flaming Sphere)
- Fix some other rare crashes
Note: Being unable to cast spells is not a bug, make sure you have a free hand to cast somatic spells or disable the spellcasting component option in the setting menu.
Why is it on a Beta Branch?
Considering how quickly we rolled out the hotfix, we couldn't extensively test it to make sure everything is stable - however we also didn't want players getting stuck because they can't save during the entire weekend. The safest option for us is thus to release the fix in a Beta Branch, so that those affected can switch to this new version and get the fix, but at the same time if that new version has some other larger problems it doesn't affect the rest of the playerbase.
How can I go back to my previous saves to finish my run from before Spring update
- Do the same as above to swap branch, but instead of "Springhotfix", select "Januarypatch"
Note: Be careful, save files from after Spring Update won't be compatible with the old "Januarypatch" version.
