Hello Games

A hotfix has been released for the Old World main branch which is now version 1.0.73676 Release 2024-08-20

This fixes bugs with the game getting stuck due to looping attack animations and hidden units being visible on the minimap and selectable. It also adds a popup to GOG Mac builds run natively offline regarding issues with DLC access.

--

We are aware of a problem on GOG with Mac builds when run natively offline where owned DLC is not being correctly registered as being owned and are working with GOG to resolve this.

As a workaround, please either run Old World using GOG Galaxy or manually set the game to use Rosetta (Intel mode) to enable DLC access.

Update 2024.08.18.0
Hellish Quart pre-alpha v.2024.08.18.1

TWEAK:
- Maryna: a bit more damage for certain attacks
- Maryna: shorter recovery from attacks blocked by the opponent

Hellish Quart pre-alpha v.2024.08.18.0

TWEAK:
- Maryna: longer startup in "Cut, Cut, Cut" special move
- Tarnavski: shorter startup in most attacks
- Tarnavski: shorter recovery in Taunts and punches (you can follow up with an attack quicker)

Update 2024.08.17.0
Hellish Quart pre-alpha v.2024.08.17.0

FIX:
- fixed a bug where the game sometimes would not scale time to x0 when pausing right before swords clash
- fixed a bug where sometimes root motion would keep moving the character, even when paused

TWEAK
- disabled the option to have mouse cursor visible in Character Selection Screen (character menus and the fighting system are not designed to be played with a mouse, but with controllers or keyboard keys)
- changed music in the Character Selection Screen from stock to an original track (plays only after returning to this screen after a fight)

Hellish Quart pre-alpha v.2024.08.16.0

NEW:
- New character: Maryna
Introducing a new playable character in this update: Maryna, widely known as "The She-Wolf." Armed with a saber and a light archery shield called a "kalkan," Maryna is a formidable opponent.

Maryna is a relentless iron lady, hardened by the harsh life on the Borderlands. As the leader of a small army of Cossacks, she is untouchable in her fortified manor. Living by her own rules, she thrives on robbery, extortion, and kidnapping.

Maryna’s character is inspired by a real 17th-century Borderlands She-Wolf, Anna Łahodowska, whose life of mischief was documented by Władysław Łoziński in "Prawem i lewem. Obyczaje na Czerwonej Rusi w pierwszej połowie XVII wieku" volume II, 1903. (loosely: Law and Disorder or Lawful and Unlawful. Ways of conduct in Red Ruthenia in the first half of XVII century).

FIX:
- Fixes for numerous minor bugs, typos, etc.

Update 2024.07.09.0
FIX:
- Updated Easy Save 3 plugin (for saving games) to the newest version and re-created all savegame scripts on all levels, to address a few reports of broken saves or the game crashing when trying to save or load data.

TWEAK:
- Build size optimizations, stripping down from unused assets

Update 2024.07.07.0
NEW:
- Story Mode, Jacek's side quest: new chapter released

FIX:
- "Anti-ragdoll explode" bug fix tweak: the level will reset only when the ragdoll is 5m from where it should be, instead of 3m, to avoid false-positive results (which should not be even possible in the first place, but some players report it happens)
- Story Mode, Jacek's side quest: some minor animation tweaks in cutscenes
- Jacek: fixed a bug where a followup attack would not play before the whole Taunt animation finished
- Gedeon, Alexander, Kalkstein: active ragdoll tweaks
- History Buff: no picture will be shown twice across multiple play sessions, until the game runs out of pictures. Then the list will reset (currently 128 pictures).

Known issues: When you pause during a fight and go to Free Camera Mode, ragdolls still retain some movement, despite the time being frozen. This can result in characters being in different place after unpausing, sometimes even "stuck" in a wall.

Note: Thank you for all the bug reports. Those will be handled after Jacek's Side Story is done.

Update 2024.06.15.0
FIX:
- Kalkstein: matched his actual reach to the length of his sword
- Boss fight arena: brighter lighting
- Alexander: fixed the kontusz skin Cloth component
- Gedeon: fixed some internal errors caused by Engine migration, that could have caused bugs
- Cutscene and adventure gameplay music now respond to Music volume slider in Options
- Samuel: corrected the Death March special move input
- Jacek: Move List pass; added some missing attacks, fixed wrong inputs
- Jacek's Story: fixed a bug where the Pause would not work during the first round of the Father Blashey fight

TWEAK:
- Gedeon: a bit more muscle power for better sword trajectories
- Alexander: some attacks are 5% faster
- Marta: thicker "weak" blade portion detector to ensure it works properly
- Jacek: Translated the Movelist with ChatGPT4o rather than Google Translate. It may still be wrong, but I hope less wrong than before. (there is no point in hiring localization companies for respective languages, since the texts change all the time and new ones are added almost every day; we'll do that, if it's still needed, after the content is all done and locked).
- Samuel: some attacks are a bit faster
