MAC game version UPDATE 1.4.4c for macOS ONLY

Hello, crusaders!

Today we finally have good news for those who play on macOS! The new 1.4.4c update fixes the issues we have previously mentioned in Windows updates, and allows you to play The Treasure of the Midnight Isles DLC.

We apologize we couldn’t upload this patch sooner, we will do our best to avoid such delays in the future.

If you play on Windows, please keep in mind that this update is only available for macOS, and contains the changes you already have. The version of the game won’t change for you!

Windows Game Update 1.4.3l

macOS Game update 1.4.4d



Hello, crusaders!

We’ve prepared a hot-fix 1.4.3l (1.4.4d for macOS) with some very important changes:

- Firstly, we’ve fixed the issue with Chinese font. We apologize to our Chinese players for the inconvenience, and we are working on a plan to prevent such issues from happening in the future;

- Secondly, we’ve listened to your feedback regarding the Treasure of the Midnight Isles DLC, and you’ve provided some very convincing arguments why the Last Azlanti mode should be optional. So, if you start a new game in the rogue-like mode, you can opt out of Last Azlanti, and have multiple saves. However, please keep in mind that to get a tailwind for the next party, you still need to let your current party perish. More changes for the DLC are planned in the next updates.

- We’ve also fixed a snowy island in the rogue-like mode that could cause the game to crash, so if you encountered this issue, you can continue playing now.

If you want to save any time or to have as many saves as you want, please disable this option. We’ve also fixed the issue with the turn-based mode getting stuck.

Update 2.0.1h is now available


Hello, crusaders!

We’ve released a fix 2.0.1h for the problem which affected multiple quests. After the 2.0 update, some players reported an issue, that a quest wouldn’t progress, if they had to kill a number of specific enemies, but saved and reloaded the game in the process. This could happen during the Gwerm Family Secrets quest (couldn’t signal to Horgus), in the Tower of Estrod (after killing the cultists and demons), and during the siege of Drezen (not being able to open the final gates). This update fixes this issue and prevents it from happening in other quests. If you've encountered this in Gwerm mansion or the Tower of Estrod, exit the location and re-enter again to proceed.

However, if this issue has already happened on your playthrough with a different quest, and you’ve sent us a bug report, we will fix it in the future updates. Or you may load an earlier save, to avoid running into this bug.

In The Treasures of the Midnight Isles DLC, the next party you create after losing the previous one will find an item from the previous team in the chest. And we’ve also fixed the achievements (see below).

Sounds from trickery checks will stop haunting you now.

If you are playing with the controller, you can skip time now and hire armies after a total defeat.

We’ve fixed the bleeding infusion for Blood Kineticists and the number of spells for the Eldritch Fonts.

Vital Strike is also fixed now.

And finally, the Commander is no longer trapped on the island in The Treasure of the Midnight Isles DLC!
