Hey Guardians!
Our first post-launch patch for Sunderfolk focuses on fixes for a few bugs and generally improves your Sunderfolk Controller experience! Thank you for your help in finding and squashing these bugs! (Don’t tell Esi)
Priority Fixes
Stuck on “Press Any Key” Splash Screen
- Made improvements to handling certain networking situations where some players may have been unable to continue past the "Press Any Button" startup splash screen.
While we've made improvements in our networking, there are more improvements / fixes coming in future patches we are actively working on. Specifically:
- In some situations, players may see a blank QR code on the main menu screen for a period of time before it properly updates with a valid QR code.
- Some Steam Deck players have also reported being unable to bypass the startup screens (logos / splash screen). We are actively investigating those reports and working on a fix.
Arcanist “Stargate” Softlock
- Fixed an issue where players may have experienced a softlock after an Arcanist uses their “Stargate” ability on Wurmsbait [to teleport to the second island] during the mission “Wurmsbait’s Mischief”.
Updated Incorrect/Mismatched Fate Card Text
- Adjusted text on one of the Bard’s Negative Fate Cards to correctly indicate its intended effect.
- The original text “A random Hero or Ally in Range 3 of you Heals 3” has now been changed to “Choose a Target in Range 3 to Heal 3”
- The Negative Fate Card “-2 Damage, Blind Each Monster in Range 2” now correctly inflicts Blind instead of Provoked.
Berserker “Grisly Force” Skill Card Adjustment
- The Berserker’s “Grisly Force” ability now ignores any active Shield buff on the Berserker to deal the intended damage when the “Deal” action occurs.
Rogue “Penny Pinch” Skill Card Adjustment
- Fixed an issue where gold and loot did not always spawn on the map when a Rogue used their “Penny Pinch” Skill Card.
Rogue Chroma Fix
- Fixed an issue where the Rogue’s applied Chroma color reverted to default when gaining Evasion.

*Developer Note: Some patches for Sunderfolk may reset the specific mission you are on at the time of the update, if we’ve made changes to how that specific mission works. This will send you back to town, but it will improve your overall experience with the mission. We’ll aim to give more advanced notice if these resets are coming in future patches. Thanks for rolling with it! 🎲
Don’t see an issue you reported? Don’t worry, this is just the beginning of our upcoming patches, so stay tuned!
Thanks for playing Sunderfolk!
