- Minor Patch 1.103 - 10 April 2024
HOTFIX 1.103 PATCH NOTES Fortified Slam now does 3 max damage (down from 5) Hard Mode no longer rewards retry tokens 'System: Self Sealing Armour' now costs (1,2,2,3) heat, up from (1,1,2,2) The balance change to Fortified Slam is meant to make Fortified Slam less of an All-In build choice. System: Self Sealing Armour is still a very strong card, and needed the heat increase to bring it in line with other very strong card choices at levels 2 and 4. Removing retry tokens from Hard Mode will serve to make Hard Mode runs more difficult, but also more rewarding on victory.
- HOTFIX 1.102 - 30 March 2024
HOTFIX 1.102 PATCH NOTES Fixed several VFX glitches with card visuals overlapping Fixed Ranked Play info cards to display correctly Fixed save system bug which would reset 'hardmode' in save file if another game mode was played mid-run
- Hotfix: Fixing a Save System Bug - 27 March 2024
This patch fixes a save/load error which prevented perks from saving when quitting from the choose encounter screen without a previous save file.
