Hello Portal Knights! We’re putting out a quick beta hotfix to see if we can fix a number of key issues that we’ve seen since launch. To get this hotfix you will need to follow the instructions below. If you’re not experiencing issues, please do not install this hotfix, and to confirm there is no new content in this update.
Please be aware that as this is a beta hotfix before we publish to all users on the main branch, that it may be less stable than the default branch, and worth making a copy of your save game before progressing. Also please note that all of your friends must be on this ‘beta’ branch if you wish to play with them in multiplayer.
Issues and Improvements:
- Interim fix for the low resolution bug
- "Friends" as default setup for the privacy settings (this should make it easier for people to get friend games setup)
- A fix for the Error 23 crash that may occur when the save game is corrupted
- Some improvements for error reporting which may help us with further problems.
- The message following the creation of a crash dump has been improved to let the users know that this has happened.
How to switch to/from a beta branch
In order to switch between the regular and beta version of Portal Knights, do the following:
• In Steam, right-click on “Portal Knights” in the games library.
• Select “Properties”.
• In the tab “Betas” of the opened window select the desired version of the game form the drop down menu and close the window.
• The game should now update automatically to the desired version. If it doesn’t seem to do so, please close Steam and reopen it.
