Hotfix #1

Server list crash hotfix

An update is available that should address server list crashes. Steam limits public P2P sessions displayed to 50, so you might need to find your friends through your Steam friends list. We are looking into addressing the issue. Thank you for your patience.

Hotfix #2

We have just released a new hotfix addressing the following problems:
**Stability **
• Several causes for random crashes have been fixed.
Multiplayer
• Fixed an issue that could lead to the session invite popup to incorrectly remain on the screen.

Hotfix #3

Stability
• Several crashes have been fixed.
• Fixed a rare crash in the building menu.
• Fixed an issue that caused that the game wouldn’t start and show a message “Failed to initialize the graphics system” on older AMD graphics cards.
• CPUs that do not support AVX should now be able to host sessions with more than 2 players.

Controls
• Fixed an issue that on framerates above 60fps the mouse wheel could skip steps (mostly in the action bar and building menu).

Hotfix #5

(#4 was a server-only thing so it was silent)

Stability
• Fixed a rare issue that could lead to world and character save data stopping to update correctly.

Hotfix #6

Save data stability

Users have reported an issue that in some cases the game would not save the progress correctly. To prevent unsuccessful saving, we have made the save data system more robust. There is now also an added notification message in case there are any issues with the save game:
• For single-player, peer-2-peer multiplayer and dedicated servers the game will now attempt more thoroughly to retry saving.
• On single-player and on peer-2-peer multiplayer, if saving can’t be completed successfully even after several retries, a warning message will pop up, allowing the player to manually retry or cancel. When “cancel” is selected, the game will shut down to prevent further unsaved progress.
• On dedicated servers, the server will shut down automatically in case many consecutive attempts to save were unsuccessful.

We will continue to monitor save data issues very closely and keep working on improving the stability of save data management.

Performance
• Fixed an issue that could lead to stutters in the frame-rate.

Gameplay
• Improved “out of stamina” HUD messages.

Hotfix #7

Game World

• Fixed several level design issues.

Hopefully next week is patch #1. Lots of cool stuff in it

Patch 1 - V 0.7.0.1

Version number: 491572

Greetings Flameborn!

Here is our first big patch for Enshrouded. Thanks to all of you who reported issues, your support is as helpful as it is motivating for us!

For those of you playing with dedicated servers, you will need to ensure the server is running the same version as the game.

Stability and performance

• Fixed several rare crashes.
• Fixed a crash that could appear on AMD GPUs while compiling shaders.
• Improved performance in various systems of the game.
• Added more messages in the log file to improve stability monitoring.
• Error messages can now be correctly dismissed with mouse clicks.

Multiplayer and Servers

• Fixed an issue that sometimes prevented successfully logging into a dedicated server.
• Improved error message handling when trying to join a host with a mismatching version.
• The Steam community content preferences are now supported for the server list in the Join menu.

Rendering

• Improved instances where a too low resolution of texture was used on objects in the world.

Game world

• **The timer of the reset of content in the game world has been lowered to 30 minutes. The reset still only occurs while no player is in the direct vicinity of the part of the world that needs resetting. **
• An issue that sometimes led to a blocked door at the entrance of the “Cinder Vault” starting location has been fixed.
• Added a few more terrain material deposits in key locations.
• Improved the visibility of amber nodes and added a few locations in the game world where amber can be found.
• Improved scattering of tumbleweeds in the Nomad Heights.
• Several points of interest have been polished concerning visuals, chest locations, and gameplay.
• Fixed several areas in the world where the path was blocked by dirt.
• Improved visuals for the ground fog and added more ground fog to the Revelwoods.

Gameplay

• The recipe for the rake is now correctly unlocked.

• Lowered the cost for Tin Bars to align them better with similar recipes.
• Fixed a few incorrect ingredients in tier 4 recipes.
• Fixed a bug where stamina for jumping wasn't deducted correctly with certain items selected in the action bar. Now a normal jump always costs nothing, while a sprint jump and a double jump always use up their intended stamina cost.

• Fixed a bug where players could interact with hook anchors behind the player camera.

• Removed the “undo” button hint when the building menu is closed and the undo function is no longer available.
• Improved the detection of ambient sounds in player bases during terraforming.
• The ambiance in player base cellars sounds less like natural caves now. The improvements of ambient sounds in the base will continue.
• Fixed visual detail glitches on roofs.

• Improved several smaller layout issues.
• Fixed several text issues for weapon and armor stats.
• Added fixes to Japanese, Simplified- and Traditional Chinese localization.
• Fixed several smaller text issues.

CHANGELOG FOR UPDATE #1- V 0.7.1.0

Version number: 510434

HIGHLIGHTS

• Each biome has a new playable area called the “Hollow Halls”, with enemies and challenges corresponding to the level of the biome. These daunting new dungeons come with a multitude of new challenges and exciting rewards.
o New quests leading through the new content. Talk to the Alchemist to get started.
o New enemies await you in the depths.
o A new survivor can be discovered in the Hollow Halls.
o Unlock a new crafting station with new recipes.
o New weapons, building blocks, furniture, decorative props and more can be found.
• The 60hz issue has been solved, providing a smooth experience on higher framerates.
• Emily the farmer now offers potted plants to everyone who wants to add that little extra bit of color to the porch. Make sure that the base has access to a kiln to craft those pots!
• Cade the Carpenter now offers a new set of round doors and windows.
• The seedbed workstation now allows growing additional tree seedlings. Many trees received new growing stages.
• Player characters can now sit on furniture such as chairs, benches, thrones, toilets.
• The town of Willow Crush in the Revelwoods has been completely reworked. and some other areas have been improved.

QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS

• Improved support for stack splitting in the backpack and chests. The size of the split stacks can now be selected freely.
• Content of magical chests can now be used in crafting stations.
• The loot menu has been reworked to allow faster and more convenient collection of loot.

• Servers can now be searched and favorited via IP in the server browser.
• The keys / buttons for jumping and gliding can now be mapped individually. By default, the gliding is still mapped to the same key / button as jumping. If a different key is preferred, we recommend for example [CTRL] on keyboard and [B]/[○] on controller.

TECHNICAL IMPROVEMENTS & STABILITY

• Updating the game on Steam has been reworked to allow faster updates in the future. Previously, every update, no matter how big, resulted in the patching of the complete 30 GB game data on the hard drive. Now only the affected areas will be patched. This change requires the complete download this one time and will only be noticeably faster for future updates.
• Save data stability has been improved further. As an additional security layer, the game now automatically creates backups of the save data in periodic intervals. Should a save file become unreadable for any reason, a previous version will be loaded.

RENDERING AND PERFORMANCE

• Performance has been improved further. As always, performance and stability will remain a main focus while moving forward.
• Support for Nvidia Reflex has been added. It can be switched on and off in the graphical settings if the used hardware supports the feature.
• Added a new setting to the graphical settings to control the sharpness of the image.
• Added a new setting to switch contact shadows on and off.

GAMEPLAY

• Added more shields into the progression.
• The Multishot skill is no longer triggered by special arrows (Stun, Explosive, Poison).
• Update the functionality of the leech-stat, e.g. on the “Ring of Endless Life”. It now has a chance to convert a percentage of the damage dealt to enemies into health for the player.
• The player skill Bloodletting is no longer triggered by Light Burst and Acid Cone.
• Fixed an issue that caused too high critical damage for the Acid Cone spell.
• An incorrect consumption of mana was fixed when using both skills Begone and Sun Aura. Similarly, Begone combined with traps no longer causes mana consumption.
• Fixed an issue with Blood Rage caused by traps.
• Fixed incorrect application of stun in multiplayer when using the Terror skill.
• The companion created by the Necromancer skill now follows the player around more actively.
• Fixed an issue where the Updraft skill could be triggered multiple times per glider flight. You're not supposed to be able to fly forever, no. You're not Jonathan Livingstone Seagull.
• The skill Breach is no longer triggered with arrows.
• Healing another player with Water Aura no longer backfires as damage when that player has Counterstrike.
• The skill Shell Shock now works as described, which we can all agree is probably for the best.

• Improved enemy jump behavior. You thought you were safe? Think again.
• Enemies can now block wand projectiles.
• Wand projectiles no longer auto-target bear traps.
• Using the wand to destroy props is easier now. Before, the homing feature of wand projectiles didn’t work correctly on non-enemy objects.
• Fixed some cases where hitting the heads of enemies with arrows resulted in too low damage values.
• The game now prohibits using the fast travel function while falling. You can't magic your way away from gravity.
• Fixed an issue where interaction prompts were shown even though the interaction wasn't available (e.g. when sleeping).
• Fixed an issue where players could sit and regenerate stamina while falling
• Improved the jumping behavior while sliding down mud slopes. The player has now stronger forward momentum.
• Fixed several issues where the glider would be triggered unintentionally when trying to jump.
• Fixed a glitch that allowed getting catapulted into the air at beds.
• Fixed a glitch where the player could gain altitude by entering and cancelling the glider. Not. A. Seagull!
• Fixed a stamina issue with the Hawk Boots.

• The game now shows correct numbers when the player gains mana or stamina.
• Being affected by damage-over-time doesn't cancel the grappling hook, climbing walls and the glider anymore--discrete hits still do. This will come in handy for dungeons, just saying.

GAME WORLD

• Ground fog is no longer appearing in the player base, as the area is protected by the flame.

• Fixed a quest marker near the Southern Caravan area that remained as question mark even after exploring the area.

CRAFTING, BUILDING & TERRAFORMING

• The visualization of the borders of the player base works now better with combined areas of several flame altars, and in cases where no-build areas are intersecting into the base.
• Fixed an issue that terrain voxel would sometimes become transparent when building too close to the upper limit of the playable area.
• Updated some fireplaces that didn’t offer the option for cooking or didn’t give warmth for the resting buff.
• Fixed another instance of incorrectly saved growth state of plants such as berry bushes in the player base.
• Added a quest for the “Spinning Wheel” to increase the visibility of the workstation.
• It is now possible to craft flower soil with Emily. Flower soil lets flowers grow faster than regular soil.
• Improved alignment of several double doors to better fit into the voxel grid.
• Fixed a rare issue where build building shapes could be placed in a way that made it impossible to dismantle them as a whole.
• Fixed an issue where it was possible to build in margins of certain no-build-and-no-save zones.
• Hard wood is now used in additional recipes.
• Fixed an issue where objects could be dismantled inadvertently through walls, while at the same time interfering with seedling placement. Gardening shouldn't be a home wrecker.
• Allow undo function while building hammer is selected but building menu is closed.
• Fixed a few instances where no-build-zones on beds were misaligned.
• Fixed an issue where terraforming VFX were missing in certain situations.

USER INTERFACE / LOCALIZATION

• The character details screen has been updated and many stats have been improved or renamed to add more clarity about gameplay effects.
• Reduced the visual clutter of enemy and player health bars. Player health bars only show up when players receive damage, damage numbers are only shown per player. Enemy stun bar is hidden when the value is 0. For “critter”-type enemies the health bar is hidden unless they receive damage.
• Damage numbers on enemies are now shown closer to the health bar.
• Mana gain is now shown as values similar to health. Stamina gain is always displayed even if the stamina is consumed right away, e.g. by sprinting.
• Fixed several typos or text inconsistencies brought up by the community. Thank you very much for bringing these to our attention!
• The current server load is now correctly showing when playing alone on a dedicated server.
• Tweaked the custom map marker menu.
• Fixed an issue with location icons vanishing on the world map. Previously affected save games will get fixed after saving and reloading once.

• Fixed cases where drop-down menus would exit the screen if opened too close to the screen border.
• Improved wording of several error messages.
• Disabled the “Please update graphics cards driver”-message for older AMD graphics cards.
• Restored the charging progress indicator for staff spells.
• Fixed an issue for very long passwords in multiplayer sessions.
• Fixed several items that did not lose the “New” marker after selecting them.

That should be about it! We hope you enjoy this first update. Let us know what you think below!

And now for the good stuff...

MAGE CHANGES AND CLASS BALANCE

We’ve been monitoring player feedback since the release of the latest changes to mage builds. As we mentioned before, balancing is an evolving endeavor that will continue as we expand the game. Your feedback is an important part of Enshrouded becoming the best game it can be, so please share your thoughts and anecdotes on combat situations on our Discord server at discord.gg/enshrouded. You remain as always our favorite part of making Enshrouded happen.

BUT ALSO

We are still investigating an issue with green luminescent blocks emitting too much light. It’s not you, it’s them.

CHANGELOG

Jump pads are now saved correctly when placed in the player base. Additionally, fixed an issue that caused the placement preview for self-crafted jump pads to be incorrectly rotated.
Fixed several instances where ladders wouldn’t allow proper climbing. Example locations are in the settlements in the Blackmire, Mark of Sameth, and Willow Crush.
Fixed several small level design issues with points of interest in the Blackmire area.
Tweaked the song quest location markers to better point at the target areas.
Shallow brown mud no longer prevents stamina regeneration. We experimented with this feature to communicate the feeling of being stuck and having to use a lot of energy to move around. However, it had the potential of getting players stuck at the bottom of climbing walls, which is not what was intended.
Fixed a potential exploit that allowed circumventing mud or tar debuffs by using the skill Bee Sting.
Moved banners to the crafting recipes offered by Valory the Bard.
Removed the spear-throwing Vukahs from the Springlands area.
Added two new dagger models for the Kindlewastes tier.
Fixed an issue with the Eternal Ice Arrow that could lead to the ammo being consumed, which is incorrect, of course.
Fixed a visual issue with the Noble Dress vanity set.
Fixed an incorrect behavior of the skill Merciless Strike, which offered the action several times in a row without allowing the enemy time to replenish their stamina.
Improved the ambient sound system for better detection of the area around the player.
Fixed a few instances where the camera would clip into the terrain or props.
Fixed the collision of secret doors.
Improved double-jumping uphill. Before, the jump could get unintentionally interrupted when the player character was directly facing a cliff.
Improved enemy pathfinding when they are walking or jumping down.
Fixed an issue with some attacks of the Wispwyvern boss that also affected players outside of the boss arena area.
Fixed an issue with tamed beasts that get stuck while trying to follow the player.
Fixed an issue when switching between mouse & keyboard and controller or vice versa while in a menu that led to unintentional character movement.
Fixed an issue that could lead to a visually incorrect terrain texture after fast traveling.
Fixed a random crash reported by players.
Reworked the display of damage numbers on enemies to reduce the occurrences of visual overlapping.
Added a warning when trying to chop wood or terraform without the permission on that server due to the defined user role.

Fixed a small UI issue with quick-move actions between backpacks and chests.
The “Barrier lifted” message from the Hollow Halls gates is now correctly displayed at the beginning of the game when having previously quit the session while the barrier is lifted.
Improved the display of used and available skill points.
Fixed cases where the enemy stun bar did not correctly show.
Improved the collapsing and un-collapsing of quest categories in the journal.
The “Feats of the Flame” widget showed incorrect text overlapping in French and Thai localizations, this has been fixed.
Fixed issues with the display of the game summary widget at the start of the game session.
Fixed some cases where world map markers were difficult to click when a quest area was active nearby.
It is no longer possible to kick players who themselves have the server permission to kick other players.
Improved the warnings and hints about setting passwords for peer-to-peer server hosts.
Fixed several typos.

Enshrouded Hotfix #13

Version number: 539695

Changes

• Fixed an issue that could lead to random crashing when starting the game.
• The graphical settings can now be reverted to the detected defaults.
• Fixed an issue that caused the quest “Loom for the Hunter” to not trigger correctly.
• Updated the glow intensity of the “Ectoplasm Block”. We tried to find the best balance between illuminating the Hollow Halls strongly enough while not flooding player bases in surreal green light. This means that the new (and intended) level of lighting of the block is somewhere between what it used to be ("dark mode") and what it was after update 2 ("the power of one thousand suns"). We are considering adding more luminous blocks further in development.

As usual, please make sure your graphic card drivers are up to date to avoid issues.

Enshrouded Update 3: Back to the Shroud full changelog

Available here for your reading pleasure: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1203620/view/4361257526928448831

[tepid comet]

Enshrouded Hotfix 14

Version number: 555489

Changes

• Fixed an issue with dismantling shapes in the player base that were placed before the update. If you were only able to remove one block at a time in your base after the patch? That’s fixed.
• Fixed an issue with the server setting for weapon durability where wands and bows could still lose durability even with durability disabled.
• Updated the mannequins, weapon, and collection showcases to be included in server rights: they are now protected when placed in a player base and when the server permissions are set up.
• Fixed an issue with custom map markers being incorrectly positioned. Please be aware, that custom map markers that have been placed between update 0.7.3.0 and hotfix #14 may be negatively affected by the hotfix.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when rejoining a server.
• Fixed a cause for potential random crashes caused by an issue in enemy pathfinding.
• Fixed an issue when editing the game world settings with a controller. Before, it could happen that the settings of another world were changed.
• As a fix for characters from previous versions which had their eyebrow color updated by version 0.7.3.0 the eyebrow color for all characters was reset to neutral brown. Fresh characters can still pick a custom eyebrow color. This means that characters that were created between Update 3's release and this hotfix now have a different eyebrow color. Sorry!
• Character customization options on existing characters will come, eventually.
• Fixed incorrect patches of sunlight coming through the ceilings of caves.
• Removed the dark blinking shader indicating to be dismantled props in player bases. It may be re-introduced at a later time with a less obtrusive method.

As usual, please make sure your graphic card drivers are up to date to avoid issues.

[cinder garnet]

Enshrouded Hotfix #15

Version number: 556085

Changes

• Fixed a reason for very rapid UI sound repetitions when using construction hammer, bows, or staffs. And to avoid any rumors - no, these were not secret Geiger counters going off…

• Fixed an issue that caused the skill Updraft to not trigger when the jumping was triggered too fast after starting to glide.
• Fixed an issue that could lead to individual props not being recognized for crafting requirements in large player bases.

Changelog for Hotfix #16

Version number: 558123

Changes

• Fixed the issue with the mysteriously vanishing weapons. In melee combat, spamming the drinking potion action while attacking could result in the drinking action being applied to the wrong item if done at a very precise moment. Essentially, the player “drank” their own weapon. Big gulp. The issue was introduced when we worked on improving the timing of switching between attacks and drinking potions. Making games is hard and this is just one example. Keep following our patch notes for more exciting game dev stories!!
• Note that unfortunately weapons that disappeared this way have been thoroughly digested and are gone. We're sorry about that.
• Fixed a temple at the border between Nomad Highlands and Kindlewastes that was buried by a landslide. You should now be able to walk its halls without having to excavate them first.
• Fixed a non-interactive grapple hook anchor in the Nomad Highlands Hollow Halls.
• Fixed that the game could freeze up when swinging with the grappling hook in the settlement Willow Crush and potentially in other locations.

Changelog for Hotfix #17

Version number: 601958

Changes

• Fixed several crashes reported by the community (thank you all!).
• Restored the glow of glowing blocks. The appearance of glowing blocks is still different than before update 4 as part of the bigger rendering update, but it should be closer to the original values again, especially during the day.
• Updated several descriptions for lightning spells to highlight the fact that they affect the enemy stun bar.
• Updated the recipe for the flame level 7 upgrade, the seedling was exchanged with the actual plant
• Updated the recipe for the poisoned steel arrow, it previously required an incorrect base arrow as a resource.
• Updated the recipe for the Fae Deer bait, the seedling was exchanged with the actual mushroom.
• The UI above wildlife now shows more clearly that they have successfully been tamed.
• Fixed an issue with the reset of health and stamina of the boss in the new biome. The fight now resets correctly when every player leaves the combat area.

Changelog for Patch #5 v.0.7.4.1

Version number: 606779

Highlights

• Added fixes for a few different crashes reported by the community.
• Wells now have water again when discovered. When wells are freshly placed in the player base, they still need a few minutes to fill up.
• Wells now show a UI element indicating that they are currently refilling.
• Fixed several NPC and animal path-finding issues, for example finding and using beds has been made more reliable and pathfinding issues when going up and down stairs have been improved.
• Added new bathroom furniture pieces to the Albaneve Summits furniture set.
• Added more visual variations to the Fell melee soldiers in earlier areas of Embervale.
• Rain is now stopped by roofs more reliably.
• Drying off after spending time in the rain is now faster when the player is sheltered.
• Fixed a few issues with quests not unlocking their next steps correctly.
• Reduced the frequency of rainy weather, but when it rains, it will rain a little bit longer than before. Even for November, this was too much.
• Quests that required the retrieval of villager souls could previously be blocked by player bases at the quest location. Now the quest is automatically solved in such cases.
• The quest for taming goats can now also be completed by taming Frizzy Goats.
• Fixed an issue with recipes not showing the unlocked event even though they unlocked correctly.

Improvements to Villagers and Animals

• Increased the range in which animals look for a bed and food.
• NPCs were taught to properly sit on chairs and toilets, to minimize accidents.
• There is now a small randomization for when NPCs decide to go to bed. Before, when fast traveling to the player base it could be observed that everyone was heading to bed at exactly the same time. This should make bedtime feel a bit more natural. Likewise, when returning to the base, not every NPC will jump out of bed immediately at the same time.
• Fences and walls now better contain animals.
• Farm animals are no longer attacked by bees.
• Cats are no longer alarmed by nearby rats while being tamed. It’s a fine balance between believable cat behavior and good gameplay…
• Cats and dogs can no longer be hit by players with Lightning Channel attacks.
• Lowered the height of the yak feeder prop so that both parents and calves can get to their food easily.
• Improved the placement sound and VFX for animals and pets.
• Lowered the unnatural high speed of resource production from animals. At the same time increased the maximum stack sizes of produced resources. As a side effect, this should lower the maintenance requirements for animals.
• Bait stack sizes are now larger. This should also help against accidentally punching wildlife while trying to throw the next bait during the taming process.
• Animals now realize more reliably when beds are placed in their vicinity.
• The rate at which animals can have babies has been unified for all animals. In the future, we will rebalance this again and better explain the reproduction rate, especially in case they will vary between different animals.
• When the taming has been completed, the UI now shows the success in a more comprehensible way.
• Picking up bait while animals are eating it now correctly interferes with the taming process.
• Like enemies, animals now have less keen senses when it is raining. This makes it easier to hunt or tame them under bad weather conditions.
• After being tamed, animals now also roam around when the player hasn't picked them up and dropped them off at their base, yet.
• Fixed the Beastmaster player skill. Befriended beasts can now be ordered to follow the player again.
• The first mouse click after tabbing out and back into the game will no longer trigger an in-game action. Previously, trying to regain focus of the game window could too easily lead to accidental weapon attacks or building actions.
• Fixed an issue where the game failed to gather the information about available happy villagers when the player tried to level up the flame in a player base that is not the one where the villagers are living.
• Crafting assistants can now offer the full range of recipes even if the crafting tools are placed in a different base.
• Fixed an issue that villagers would suddenly wake up in the middle of the night only to get back to bed right afterward again. Just because it’s happening to us it shouldn’t also happen to them…
• Villagers without beds are sleeping on the floor now as they should.
• Villagers no longer have trouble going to bed when they approach from the foot of the bed.
• Villagers no longer physically block doors or narrow stairs.
• The tutorial about needing happy villagers to level up the Flame no longer shows up every time the Flame menu is opened.
• Fixed that villagers can have multiple beds assigned in some cases.
• Fixed some situations in which villagers or animals would interact with props through walls. One example was that they teleported through a wall to sit on a chair.

Fixes for new biome content and gameplay

• Reduced the sturdiness of silver and obsidian ore. While the yield per node is the same, it now takes less time to gather it.
• The UI for coldness and protection against it has been reworked after player feedback. The coldness meter now shows the encroaching freezing of the player. While exposed to extreme coldness, this meter can only ever go up. Underneath the coldmeter, the level of coldness protection is displayed and the currently remaining time before hypothermia sets in. The time can change rapidly depending on food, consumables, equipment, torches, nearby campfires and other factors.
• Added more information about the frost protection from the Flame at level 8 to the Flame upgrade screen and to the quest journal.
• Fixed an issue with the display of the “Hypothermia” warning that prevented it from showing up at the center of the screen initially.
• Increased the time before Hypothermia sets in for players without any kind of cold protection from 10 seconds to 20 seconds.
• Fixed that ice-sliding VFX could appear at the character's feet, even when they weren't touching the ground.
• Sliding down slopes now prevents using ranged weapons.
• Added the previously missing area of effect damage for the spell Ice Bolt II.
• Improved visibility of snowflakes when using DLSS.
• Fixed additional issues with the dynamic ambience sounds detection system leading to playing incorrect sounds or missing sounds for individual biomes.
• Fixed an issue with the quest to unlock 2 of the new songs. The songs can now be correctly unlocked.
• Fixed several small level-design issues such as floating props.
• Added a few more enemies to some empty areas in the Albaneve Summits.
• Fixed a collision issue with one of the tree models which would lead to chopped wood to float out of the tree instead of dropping normally.
• Switched the visuals of the two granite roof blocks so that both fit better to the name and icon of the items.
• Updated the visuals of the balefire braziers.
• Destroying the props in the Cyclops caves now triggers the correct VFX and sounds.
• Fixed discoloration on some fur parts on player armors.
• Increased the size of the big spider. It’s meant to be a chonk.
• Fixed several smaller glitches for the Cyclops enemies.
• Increased the damage to the stun bar of the boss when hitting it by parrying its own projectiles.
• Fixed an issue that could cause a spell or arrow to affect the boss stun bar twice.
• Removed the loot from the defeated vultures during the boss fight.
• Improved several animations and behavior glitches for the boss.
• Added a subtle self-glow to the windows that look like they are made of glass. It’s not perfect yet but better than being completely black during the day.
• Exchanged an incorrect perk on the Horn Daggers. They now have correctly increased cut damage when upgraded.
• Improved the illuminated pumpkins for a prettier glow.
• Fixed an issue where the milk dropped from certain enemies as loot was mistakenly cooked already. It’s not that kind of cozy game.
• Fixed comfort category setting for tapestries and the granite throne.
• Improved the UI overlay when the boss is unlocked.

Miscellaneous Fixes

• Updated the burning status VFX on the player to be more noticeable.
• Fixed one of the Shroud roots which didn’t clear the Shroud in the vicinity after being destroyed.
• Updated some old terrain textures to better fit the overall level of detail.
• Improved the level of detail for some mycelium-covered props.
• Fixed incorrect movement in armor pieces during an evasion roll.
• Removed several small glitches in enemy- and animal animations.
• Fixed incorrect visuals and timings of several enemy attack VFXs.
• Fixed several small audio issues on enemies including the boss, cyclops, crocodiles and scavengers.
• Added keyboard support to the split-stack sub-menu.
• Fixed incorrect sorting of several props in the recipe overview menus.
• Fixed an issue that could lead to the game freezing when tabbing out of the game window.
• Fixed one reason for a performance dip directly after teleporting longer distances.
• Slightly increased performance of rendering clouds.
• Switched back to the previous display of time for durations in the UI. At the same time further unified the display of durations. Sorry for the feet and inches, US players.
• Made the building shape preview tint more visible in direct sunlight.
• Brightness doesn’t reset during changes to the graphical quality settings.
• Fixed the saving of the time of day when quitting the game.
• Creating and playing a new world with a character that has the quest progression mode set to “missed quests” no longer blocks the first door in the Cinder Vault start cave.
• Fixed that the background sound ambience no longer resets when going to bed.
• Fixed an issue with the recipe selection button in the workstation menus.
• Fixed a visual glitch when starting to fly with a glider.
• Exchanged a 1-handed melee bonus from two armor pieces for the mage class Spellbinder Glove and Wizard Chest.
• Drastically increased the health for practice targets and dummies.
• Player tombstones were tweaked to minimize the risk that they can’t be looted properly depending on doors or other large props nearby.
• Selected quests are now deselected in the quest journal when they have been completed.
• Added a security measurement to make sure that grapple hook anchors are correctly interactive when the new grappling hook combat skills are unlocked and many enemies have gathered around the player.
• Fixed an issue with scrolling with a controller in the equipment menu.
• Made sure the ammunition display in the HUD remains visible even when the combat target is near the screen border.
• Fixed an issue where animations could sometimes not be played correctly when using ranged weapons.
• Fixed a few instances where loot dropped in regions it was not supposed to drop.
• Fixed an issue with the fade-to-black when fast traveling while having the HUD disabled.
• Fixed several issues with item icons.
• Fixed several cases where clicking on a quest map marker wouldn’t open the corresponding journal entry correctly.
• Fixed an issue that could lead to footsteps sounds not playing correctly.
• Improved performance for player bases with many villagers and large roaming distance set.
• The amount of data exchanged between servers and clients has been reduced. This should help in situations, where low bandwidth caused multiplayer issues previously.

A lot of these fixes wouldn't have happened without your reports, so as always, thanks for helping us make the game better!

Changelog for Patch #6 v.0.7.4.2

Version number: 610720

Changelog

• The Arachnophobia user setting now affects all types of spiders. When switched on, all enemy spider models are replaced by a replacement model. We also would like to apologize for making spiders even bigger last time around. Nothing personal, we just love creepy crawlies.
• Fixed an issue with bosses not starting the fight correctly when the perception range setting was lowered in world settings. Perception range scaling has been disabled for bosses, because they probably wouldn't be ignoring your challenge.
• Improved the trigger conditions for the quest concerning the epic musical instruments. It now only requires the player to obtain the drums to get triggered.
• Added more fallback requirements to various quests to make them trigger more reliably.
• Further improved the performance of worlds with many animals and villagers.
• Fixed a graphical issue with sandstone and limestone when used as terrain material. If you know you know.
• Updated the visuals for the granite material.
• Villagers and animals now look at players when nearby.
• Fixed some edge cases where the alert state timer display for animal taming was displayed incorrectly.
• Improved the walking animations for the Blacksmith.
• Any active combat target lock is now automatically cleared when switching into building mode with the Construction Hammer.
• Fixed an issue that deleted items from the backpack when moving them with the shortcut button while in the conversation with a crafting NPC.
• Improved the audio in situations with very large enemy crowds, such as the Hollow Halls when playing in a world with the enemy spawn density set to very high. It was hell.
• Removed Shroud Banshees and too-high-leveled Shroud melee soldiers from an early-game cave.
• Fixed additional instances, where moving equipment parts suddenly stretch very far away from the player character.
• The multiplayer lobby now hides friends hosting sessions with a version of the game that is different from one’s own. In previous updates, it was possible to see the sessions hosted by friends which led to the message “The server is full or not available” when trying to join them while having different versions of the game. We hope the change will avoid confusion.

Thanks again for your feedback and reports, they really do help us make Enshrouded better for everyone!

• Fixed a crash that could occur when unlocking achievements.

• Increased the range for the UI to indicate when someone is speaking in proximity voice chat.
• The list of game servers now also includes servers that host a version of the game that is different from the client. In these cases, the version mismatch is displayed in the list.

• Fixed an issue that could lead to the number of unread text chat messages being displayed incorrectly.

• Fixed a texture flickering issue on certain types of building blocks such as the glowing blocks when adding overgrowth to buildings nearby.

• Added the option for switching into first-person camera mode to the Summoning Scepter.

• Fixed an issue with the display of the sheltered state of villagers when viewing them in a different player base.
• Farm animals no longer produce offspring when there are no free beds available, as was originally intended. Sorry about all the angst created by this population boom... Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys!

The new building tools have been moved to the essentials section at their respective crafting NPCS. Further sorting improvements are planned for the future.

Townsfolk and pets

Still Working On It

• We are aware that some players are encountering an issue with some assets taking very long to load, which can lead to objects being invisible or missing. While we have some promising leads (it seems to primarily affect players who have installed the game on an HDD), we are still investigating the range of configurations affected, so if this is happening to you, please reach out to our support so that we can make sure we're helping you, too.

Changelog for Patch #9 v.08.1.2

The revision of Patch #9 is 709870

Changelog

Gameplay

• Improved the visuals for the surface of the Shroud. This also fixes the issue that the transition from regular Shroud to deadly Shroud was very hard to see.
• The player hitbox now better fits the player model while gliding. It should now be easier to fly over or under obstacles without bumping into them. Previously, it was possible to bump into obstacles when it looked like you had enough room to go around or through them.
• Updated the locations of Shroud Flayer Hearts. They are now more reliably positioned at the correct depth in the ground.
• Improved the behavior of the Flayer around the Flayer Heart. The Flayers now attack in waves, giving players more opportunity to search for the heart itself. Additionally, the flayers linked to the heart now die when the heart is defeated.
• Defeating individual Flayers that are linked to a heart now triggers a shriek and visual effects at the heart to better show the connection.

• Fixed an issue with plant seedlings that caused the seedlings to disappear after planting due to a faulty detection of terrain, even though they were planted in dirt or soil.
• Removed the stopped mana regeneration from the Hemotoxin affliction.
• Lowered the amount of crafting resources needed for the Hemotoxin Antidote.
• All lore weapons now have a guaranteed Gem slot.
• Removed the chance for Gem slots on torches. It was funny though.
• Improved the light provided by the wisp of light potion, which should work better in the new Shroud.
• Fixed that switching between Shields and Wards in the action bar while holding the blocking key or button resulted in an incorrect display of the selected item.
• Fixed a glitch in the player animation when shooting downward with a wand.
• Gem Forge, Flame Altar and Obelisks are now staged in a more immersive way with a specific camera angle when the player interacts with them.
• The target selection marker is now centered correctly on the Depthdwellers when they move.
• Fixed an issue with older save files that could prevent players from being able to dismantle entire building shapes in their base.
• Improved the behavior of enemies as they seek cover from player arrows or spells.
• Fixed an issue that caused survivors to do little jumps while sitting on chairs and similar furniture.

• Improved the pathfinding for animals and survivors. Also changed their selection of interesting targets in the player base, to avoid situations where survivors or animals try to reach unreachable targets.
• Fixed more cases where animals stepped over fences, jumped over fences, or otherwise phased through them like ghosts.
• Survivors no longer endlessly crowd around the player. If they feel that the Flameborn doesn’t need their attention, they will go about their own business.
• Further improved the features of the Flame Altar to provide quest- and progression-relevant items in its inventory. It should now collect relevant items more reliably.
• Scaling the number of enemies in the world difficulty settings should no longer affect quest-related enemies and loot.
• Fixed several issues with loot not dropping from Scavengers.
• Fixed an issue with some damage values not increasing correctly when weapon gems were upgraded while slotted into a weapon.
• Grenades and other throwable items now ignore soft-locked targets and follow the aiming of the player instead.
• Fixed an invisible collision at the Flame in the Cinder Vault so that Flameborn can no longer jump and walk around on The Flame. Remember, the Flame is the last hope for the Flameborn in the fight against the Shroud and deserves to be treated with respect!
• Improved the parry window visibility for the projectiles of Depth Dwellers.
• Reduced the light intensity for the blood rage buff visual effect.
• The Gem of Lesser Necromancy can now drop in the Hollow Halls.
• The Gem of Agility no longer triggers when hitting objects that are not enemies.
• Changed Gem of Corruption, so that enemies properly explode when defeated.
• When an enemy is hit by multiple weapons with a Gem of Burning installed, the burn damage is now refreshed with the longest-lasting level of damage.
• Tweaked the recipes of the various storage chests for better balancing.

Game world

• Fixed the position of a Shroud Root that was covered in dirt during the big topology rework in the Kindlewastes. No archaeology today!
• Improved the lighting and shadow casting of shock and magma traps.
• Tweaked the position of several world map markers to better guide players to the correct locations.
• The quest “Celebrate The Pact Of The Flame” now triggers after unlocking the crafting survivors in the Springlands.
• Improved the visuals of the creeping Shroud patches in the Albaneve Summits.
• Azure mushrooms now also grow on Shroud-infused farm soil.

User Interface

• Debuffs and Gem effects are now marked at the health bars for elites and bosses.
• All map markers now have the color of the corresponding quest’s difficulty.
• Added decimals to the Weapon Gem upgrade info details. Previously, due to rounding in the descriptions, it appeared as if upgrading a gem didn’t make it stronger, even though it did.
• Fixed an issue that could lead to missing item level info in the item description.
• Fixed that doors could show “open” in their interaction prompt even if they were already opened.
• Fixed a flickering effect for the buff icon in the HUD when using the skill “Earth Aura”.
• The quest difficulty is now properly displayed for the Hollow Halls and boss encounters.
• Fixed several journal entries not showing up correctly.

• Fixed the formatting of the displayed time for the “Shroud Fatigue” debuff.

Miscellaneous issues

• Fixed a sound effect issue when the Scavenger Tyrant whips other enemies or players. Don’t whip me mommy…
• Fixed several environmental sound issues for specific locations in the Kindlewastes and dungeons.
• Fixed a sound issue that caused incorrect sounds to be played after a flying skull companion expired.
• Fixed minor color issues with tintable armor pieces.
• Updated the model for the Blackguard Helmet.

Still Working On It

• We are aware that many players are reporting initial shader compiling taking a significant time to process. We are committed to bringing shader compiling time back in line.

The revision of Hotfix #28 is 729115

Changelog

• Fixed an issue that could lead to an unloadable world when there were too many objects (we’re talking thousands, not hundreds!) placed in the player base. We changed the logic of how the objects are loaded, which should prevent games from being unloadable in the future.

• Improved lengthy loading times after a fast travel on some AMD graphics cards.
• Fixed several cases in which enemies would stop moving and attacking. The issue occurred especially in multiplayer.
• Fixed an issue with delayed greatsword attacks when used on enemies in water, causing them to get stuck in an endless reaction loop.
• Improved the position of damage numbers for enemies that get pushed around by the player.

• Fixed Capybara taming bait showing up at the fishing rod as available bait. Please don’t fish the capys.
• Improved the handling of filling water pouches with water.
• Fixed an incorrect value for enemy weapons of legendary quality dropping wayyyy too often. We wanted to bump the drop rate of legendary enemy weapons up following internal testing, but it was almost ⅓ of enemy loot, which was ridiculously overtuned.
• Improved the loot from defeated Hydrak'Dal.
• Removed the chance for legendary items from the first tutorial cave.
• Reduced the amount of Snapjaws in some of the forest areas of Veilwater Basin.

• Fixed an issue with character attributes information about oxygen. It should now show up as intended.
• Increased the number of effects that can be shown for a (de-)buff in the status menu. Previously, only four effects could be displayed, which led to an incorrect display for “Soaked”, which has five effects.
• Fixed cases in the attributes menu where buffs that have both positive and negative effects ended up with the wrong contributor font color. Also, fixed some cases where a “-” was displayed with the red color font even though the effect was positive for the player, for example, reduced player reviving duration.

• Fixed several small additional issues with displayed values in the attributes menu.
• Rings now show their stats correctly when viewed in loot containers.
• The death screen now specifies if the player drowned or succumbed to hypothermia.

Still working on it:

• New AMD drivers issue. We're seeing some players crashing which is apparently caused by an AMD driver issue. We had this in-house as well after an automatic driver update (and not isolated to Enshrouded) and managed to resolve that by cleanly uninstalling all AMD software with the AMD Cleanup Utility (https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/faqs/GPU-601.html), then installing the AMD chipset driver and then installing AMD Adrenalin.

Fixed an issue that caused enemies to not get stunned correctly when filling their stun bar while they are blocking.

Added a user setting to show or hide the enemy awareness icons.
Added an additional fallback to make sure that all enemies connected to the magical barrier in the Hollow Halls spawn correctly so that the barrier can be opened. There are still occasional cases where they do not all spawn, so the work continues.
Dynamic elements on the HUD, such as barrier unlock messages or level-up celebrations, no longer restart when pausing and unpausing the game or opening and closing any menu.
Fixed a potential UI softlock when opening the “What’s New?” pop-up manually immediately after loading a world.

Added the spawn point Flame Altar to the list of fast travel locations on the world map location list.
Fixed a tooltip issue for the Summoning Staff.
Fixed the display of item icons in the actionbar while cooking.

Fixed an input conflict for "Show on Map" and "Track Priority Quest" in the journal.
Fixed an issue that caused the camera to remain focused on the Flame Altar when interacting with it while in photo mode.
The HUD elements for the photo mode are more subtle now.
Fixed a few instances where the user setting to reduce dynamic camera motions wasn't effective. There are still some edge cases open that will need to be addressed in future updates.
Improved the camera for several actions while being locked on an enemy, such as using the glider, using the grappling hook or starting to swim.
First-person camera can now be used for Flame Altar and Quick Stack Station placement.
Picking up props, animals, pets and similar works much better now in spaces where a lot of props have been placed in close proximity.
It is generally no longer possible to destroy filled chests and other props with items in them. Note: there are still a few exceptions, such as the animal food bowls and some wall presentation props. In these cases, the health of the props is so high that they shouldn’t get destroyed accidentally.
Fixed a micro jittering issue when the player is moving on framerates higher than 60.
Fixed the starting conditions for the quest “Almanac of Plants and Seedlings For The Farmer”. It now triggers correctly again.
