Portal Knights Update v 0.1.3 (Beta Hotfix)
We’re putting out a beta hotfix to see if we can fix a number of key issues that we know some of you have been experiencing. To get this hotfix you will need to follow the instructions below. If you’re not experiencing issues, please do not install this hotfix.
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.
Fixes
- Fixed an issue where some players were not able to see and join their friends in the in-game friends list, who had a “Portal Knights” game running.
- Fixed an issue where games were still displayed as available in the friends list, even if they couldn't join anymore because of a disconnect.
- Fixed an issue with resolution settings, that would only show "Low" resolution in the options menu when using a > 60 Hz monitor.
- Fixed an issue where Portal Knights would run in a stuttering mode while using the above mentioned > 60 Hz monitor.
- Fixed the “whack-no-worm” achievement bug, which would not unlock correctly.
- Fixed a situation that could cause a crash when booting the game due to certain hardware configurations.
- Fixed another situation that could cause a crash when booting the game.
Changes
- Resource costs have been reduced for Gold and Titanium bars (-50% ores each).
Additions
