Greetings from Rokugan!
With Shadowveil: Legend of the Five Rings having just launched here on Steam, we'd like to share an update on the fixes, optimizations and other improvements coming in the next Shadowveil patch. A shoutout to the Discord community and the players on the Shadowveil Steam Forum for continuing to help report and track down issues. The Crab Clan salutes you!
The patch is Live!
There are a few known issues (see below), but we encourage you to report any issues, bugs or concerns (as well as the positive feedback) in the Discord community and on the Shadowveil Steam Forum).
Game restart recommended
We just pushed an additional hotfix today, that updates the game from version 1.0.1.17977 to version
1.0.1.18020.
This change might cause players who were ingame between when the patch released (11AM CET) and the hotfix went live (2PM CET) to lose out on Goblin Skulls or Political Capital..
Players can restart the game to avoid any further issues, or alternatively load a save from before 11AM CET. Players who were not ingame in this timeframe are not affected.
If you've enjoyed Shadowveil so far, please consider leaving a review!
PSA about the demo
We are also working on a update for the demo to include 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 patches to increase stability and make the save games transferable between demo and full game!
(Note this will mean that old demo saves will be invalid)
Version number: 1.0.1.18020
Added
- Added icons to item tooltip to showcase which components are needed for a combined item

This is the second optimization package for the game, targeting the expensive VFX, late game performance and overall more tuning to graphics options to scale properly
- Tuned graphics options
- Improved performance on low quality effects setting
