We have released the first patch for Avernum 4: Greed and Glory, updated it to v1.0.1. Our indie, turn-based RPG in a vast underworld nation now has a ton of bug fixes and improvements to make your heroic (or greed-filled) journey much more pleasant. Enjoy!
Avernum 4: Greed and Glory v1.0.1 - 10/31/25
* In windowed mode, window will no longer be created too wide. This will make the game more pleasant on extra-wide monitors.
* Problem saving game when user name contained non-ASCII characters fixed.

* Reviving your party no longer removes your light.
* You can now get the quest from LoAnn the giant even if you already have the key.
* Lockpicks use preseeded success rolls. The chance of a pick breaking is now preseeded too. Please don’t worry about reloading your game when you fail to pick a lock. There are plenty of lockpicks.
