• Several crash fixes
• Possible crash fix caused by mods moving a dinosaur ability slots around
• Fix for curve override not applying to some attribute sets because they weren't loaded. This should fix issues with community servers overriding dinosaur stats and give them the ability to edit stats for dinosaur abilities etc.
  As with all server side patches I recommend doing a server backup and testing this patch before updating, regardless let us know if you are experiencing any issues with these changes.

Here is an example change for curve overrides which demo editing all the different types of stats.

CurveOverrides=(CurveName="Styracosaurus.Core.MaxThirst",Values=(500,600,700,800,900))
CurveOverrides=(CurveName="Styracosaurus.StaminaTrotCostPerSecond",Values=(500,600,700,800,900))

• Quests now check for the chance of a bonus reward before adding it to unclaimed rewards.

Combat

New: AoE Attacks

Implemented Area-of-Effect attacks, which will hit any enemies within a radius around you. This is implemented on various stomp attacks, such as for Albertaceratops and Amargasaurus. With this feature, your dinosaur’s feet no longer have to hit your target in order to damage them, making aiming these attacks much easier and more intuitive.

New: Stamina Changes

We have adjusted stamina values for most creatures. We have now adjusted stamina values for all creatures so they are even across the board, but certain dinosaurs drain their stamina faster depending on their playstyle, attacks, running speeds, and regeneration rates. This change ensures that venom is now much more consistent across all creatures, which will make creatures that rely on venom, like Metriacanthosaurus and Megalania, have a much better time hunting their prey.

New: Adjustments to Bleed, Venom, and Bone Break

We have also made some changes to the way other status effects affect creatures. Previously, the weight of a dinosaur played a large role in determining how much bone break, venom, and bleed damage was inflicted on a defending dinosaur. We have adjusted this value so status effects are now more consistent across all creatures. This means creatures that can inflict status effects can now better rely on their abilities to tackle larger, heavier opponents.

General Changes:

• Disabled Bleed and Venom damage in Homecave.
• Stamina no longer drains in Homecaves.
• Jumping rapidly now drains stamina less quickly for all dinosaurs.
• Adjusted the jump costs for all dinosaurs.
• Fixed charge attacks occasionally not working after they are canceled.
• Fixed issue where player could not rotate with precise movement while swallowing a chunk of meat.
• Fixed issue where debuffs would linger after a player died, maintaining buffs for dinosaurs with certain passives.
• Adjusted text for dive ability to be accurate to ability's effect.
• Fixed description of kick attacks.
• Tough Scutes ability (for all creatures who have this ability): changed armor increase to 15% from 25%
• Lightweight Scales ability: Removed armor debuff. Changed turn debuff to 25% from 40% (for creatures who have this debuff with this hide option)
• Fixed issues with the Generic Ability Slot (often used by modded creatures) causing unintended behaviour. However, base game creatures do not currently use the Generic ability slot.
• Updated ability icons: Resilient Scales, Leap, Dense Feathers, Strong Flippers, Death Rattle, Gripping Claws, Balanced Tail, Breach, Tyrant Roar.
• Added a "Fast Flying" stamina cost. Fast flying and regular flying are calculated separately now. This means when creatures are flying slowly they will drain less stamina compared to flying fast.

Latenivenatrix:

• Added Hiss ability
• Fixed Latenivenatrix lower jaw clipping when placing items down
• Reduced Raptor Bark ability to use slightly more stamina. Increased damage to 5%.

Concavenator:

• Added Ripping Kick ability

Metriacanthosaurus:

• Improved Metriacanthosaurus jump animations

Announcement regarding the new Pounce and Grabbing Mechanics:

Players are able to throw off raptors or escape from being grabbed by pressing the 'Jump' button on your device, even if your character is unable to jump. You can see which button this is in the Controls tab in the Settings menu.
This will cause your character to 'Buck' the grabbing or pouncing dinosaur, draining its stamina faster and causing it to release you sooner.

We hear your feedback on this issue, and are currently working to make this mechanic more clear for users in-game as soon as we can, thank you for your patience and we hope you enjoy the latest update!

[stone ivy]

Thanks for the feedback and bug reports

We are working on a number of fixes which can be released via hotfixes based upon feedback and bug reports.

<@&922768313698902056>

[stone ivy]

Hotfix 28284h4

• Fixed: Issues joining community servers with mods.

Regarding Large Mod Sizes for PlayStation 4 / 5

We have fixed a issue causing PS4 / PS5 Mods to be 2-3 larger then they are supposed to compared to other platforms eg Windows, Xbox etc. One one skin mod I tested there was a reduction from 1.56 GB to 250 MB.

This fix will automatically be applied when modders release updates and rebuild their mods. This should help greatly in joining community servers with a lot of mods once they get all updated. <@&630630196793573386>

[stone ivy]

We are working on rolling out a new hotfix to the game, we are working on restarting servers to apply the new update. You may have issues joining while we roll this out.

[stone ivy]

Content Hotfix

Please note you may need to restart your game to get this patch. Community servers will need to be restarted.

Status Effect Adjustments

We have adjusted venom, bleed, and poison heal values in addition to making the damage inflicted by these status effects more consistent across different movement speeds (like trotting and sitting). We found that some players were concerned by seeing how red their health bar would become while running at max bleed. Players were easily able to run away from enemies that inflicted bleed to them, sit for a few seconds, and get back up to heal a large portion of the bleed off during those few seconds.

This was not rewarding for the bleeder, and resulted in situations where faster dinosaurs were able to negate the effectiveness of bleed altogether, which hurt dinosaur reliant on it like Concavenator. Venom and poison also suffered from this to varying degrees.

Because of this, we have adjusted the bleed to be weaker while running but now it is much harder to heal while sitting or sleeping, requiring more time to be sitting/sleeping to fully recover. Venom and poison have received similar adjustments. Additionally, these three status effects are now more consistent across various character movement states. We will continue monitoring player feedback on these changes.

Pounce

• Increased pounce cooldown for all raptors to 8 seconds
• Increased effectiveness of bucking
  Pounce cooldown has been increased to make this attack less spammable for all raptors and bucking stamina drain has been increased to make it more effective at getting raptors off.

Hatzegopteryx

• Added a scaling speed slowdown effect based on the type of carried object
  Carrying objects like flowers or meat chucks will now cause less speed slowdown while flying in comparison to a player, and heavier players will cause greater slowdown than lighter players.

Deinonychus and Latenivenatrix

• Raptor Strikes: Added a damage boost to this attack that occurs only while pounced onto a player
• Bleed removed from base bite
• Added Ripping Kick

Bleed on bite has been removed as it was found to be too powerful, and instead the small raptors will be able to use Ripping Kick to deal bleed damage to another player. Raptor Strikes now has a damage boost that is only active while latched to let it deal more damage.

Concavenator

• Lightweight Scales: Reduced speed boost to 5% (previously was 10%) and turn radius reduction to 15% (previously was 25%)

In an effort to make speed and turning abilities less centralizing, we are adjusting many of the abilities that touch these stats. We will be keeping an eye out on how this affects the dinosaurs who are potentially too dependent on these abilities to be viable. Concavenator has had its speed boost reduced however we have also reduced the turn radius reduction as compensation for this change.

Metriacanthosaurus

• Lightweight Scales: Reduced speed boost to 5% (previously was 10%) and turn radius reduction to 15% (previously was 25%)
• Balanced Tail: Reduced turn boost to 5% (previously was10%)
• Putrid Scales: Greatly increased poison reflect damage
• Hustle: Removed combat timer disable aspect and lowered cooldown to 4 minutes
• Intimidating Screech: Doubled duration of ability
• Twilight Menace: Stamina recovery increased to 20% (previously was 15%)
• Increased base stamina recovery rate slightly

Some turn and speed based abilities were adjusted to match other dinosaurs. Putrid scales poison damage is now much higher. We disabled the combat timer limitation Hustle had in addition to lowering its cooldown. Intimidating screech has had its active duration doubled.

We know players have noted that the stamina regeneration rate of Metriacanthosaurus was too slow and we have adjusted it to make it more comparable to its peers while also buffing its night-based sense. It is our hope that these changes will make its other calls more competitive with its healing abilities and open new gameplay options for Metri players.

Ceratosaurus

• Lightweight Scales: Reduced speed boost to 5% (previously was 10%)
• Balanced Tail: Reduced turn boost to 5% (previously was 10%)

Turn and speed based abilities were adjusted to match other dinosaurs.

Megalania

• Bite venom increased slightly.
• Heavy bite venom increased slightly.
• Added new Fetid Scent ability
• Twilight Menace: Stamina recovery increased to 20% (previously was 15%)
• Toxic Scream: Doubled duration of ability

We have heard many of the complaints about Megalania following its push into more of a venom support character and have made adjustments in light of this feedback. Twilight Menace has been boosted to give a greater stamina impact at night. The base venom dealt for each of its bites has been increased to let it deal more venom per hit and doubled the duration of its venom boosting call. Finally, we have added Fetid Scent which is a sense ability that lets Megalania deal more damage (by 25%) while it is fighting around envenomed targets. We will be keeping an eye out on feedback to see if this lets this venom debuffer have some of its old bite back without being too strong.

Alioramus

• Combat Weight lowered to 2100 (previously was 3000)
• Balanced Tail: Reduced turn boost to 5% (previously was 10%)
• Lone Survivor: Removed turn boost

Some turn and speed based abilities were adjusted to match other dinosaurs. We have removed Lone Survivor’s turning boost as we found it was too strong when combined with other turn boosting abilities such as Traction Legs or Balanced Tail. Finally, we have lowered its combat weight notably as our tests and player feedback has shown Alioramus’ high combat weight made it too effective at fighting other medium sized or large sized dinosaurs. As this heavily conflicts with its intended role as a small game hunter, we have lowered the weight to make it less able to shrug off hits from larger dinosaurs and deal less damage to them as well. We will be keeping a close eye on the impact of this change and will adjust further if needed.

Daspletosaurus

• Bone Snap: Speed decrease lowered to 10% (previously was 15%)
• Balanced Tail: Reduced turn boost to 5% (previously was 10%)

Turn ability adjusted to match other dinosaurs. We are lowering the speed reduction Daspletosaurus receives while it has Bone Snap equipped and will be keeping an eye on it for future adjustments. We want to make this ability more competitive with its other bite options while also avoiding having this bone breaker be too mobile.

Pycnonemosaurus

• Balanced Tail: Reduced turn boost to 5% (previously was 10%)
• Gripping Claws: Reduced turn boost to 5% (previously was 10%)

Turn abilities adjusted to match other dinosaurs.

Suchomimus

• Drenched Blows: Increased damage boost to 20% (previously was 10%)

We found that Drenched Blows was outcompeted by Lone Hunter so we are doubling its damage boost capabilities as this ability is more niche when it can be used.

Allosaurus

• Lightweight Scales: Reduced speed boost to 5% (previously was 10%) and turn radius reduction to 15% (previously was 25%)
• Balanced Tail: Reduced turn boost to 5% (previously was 10%)
• Added new Fresh Blood ability

Some turn and speed based abilities were adjusted to match other dinosaurs. We have added Fresh Blood sense to Allosaurus to give it a damage boost against bleeding foes.

Sarcosuchus

• Drenched Blows: Increased damage boost to 20% (previously was 10%)

Matching other ability adjustments.

Spinosaurus

• Drenched Blows: Increased damage boost to 20% (previously was 10%)
  Lone Survivor: Removed turn boost

Matching other ability adjustments.

Tyrannosaurus

• Lightweight Scales: Reduced speed boost to 5% (previously was 10%) and turn radius reduction to 15% (previously was 25%)
• Balanced Tail: Reduced turn boost to 5% (previously was 10%)

Abilities adjusted to match other dinosaurs.

Camptosaurus

• Lightweight Scales: Reduced speed boost to 5% (previously was 10%) and turn radius reduction to 15% (previously was 25%)

Abilities adjusted to match other dinosaurs.

Struthiomimus

• Lightweight Scales: Reduced speed boost to 5% (previously was 10%) and turn radius reduction to 15% (previously was 25%)
• Lone Survivor: Removed turn boost
• Hustle: Removed combat timer disable aspect and lowered cooldown to 4 minutes

Abilities adjusted to match other dinosaurs.

Pachycephalosaurus

• Lone Survivor: Removed turn boost
• Lightweight Scales: Reduced speed boost to 5% (previously was 10%)
• Balanced Tail: Reduced turn boost to 5% (previously was 10%)

Abilities adjusted to match other dinosaurs.

Kentrosaurus

• Lone Survivor: Removed turn boost
• Lightweight Scales: Reduced speed boost to 5% (previously was 10%)
• Balanced Tail: Reduced turn boost to 5% (previously was 10%)

Abilities adjusted to match other dinosaurs.

Styracosaurus/Albertaceratops

• Balanced Legs: Reduced turn radius boost to 5% (previously was 10%)
• Improved base turns in place

Adjusted to match other dinosaurs and base stats adjusted to compensate.

Iguanodon

• Lone Survivor: Removed turn boost
• Lightweight Scales: Reduced speed boost to 5% (previously was 10%) and turn radius reduction to 15% (previously was 25%)

Abilities adjusted to match other dinosaurs.

Eotriceratops

• Balanced Legs: Reduced turn radius boost to 5% (previously was 10%)
• Lone Survivor: Removed turn boost

Abilities adjusted to match other dinosaurs.

Anodontosaurus

• Lone Survivor: Removed turn boost
• Halved stamina cost of tail slam

Matching Lone Survivor adjustment of other dinosaurs and making tail slam less punishing to use while moving as Anodontosaurus.

Lambeosaurus

• Lone Survivor: Removed turn boost
• Reduced Combat Weight to 3500 (previously was 4500)
• Heal Call: Reduced healing multipliers to 8x (previously was 11x)
• Hustle: Removed combat timer disable aspect and lowered cooldown to 4 minutes

Lambeosaurus was too effective as a combat medic so we are reducing both its combat weight and heal value. Additionally, we are removing the turn boost it has from Lone Survivor. Hustle was adjusted to match Metriacanthosaurus’.

Amargasaurus

• Lone Survivor: Removed turn boost
• Added Tail Knockback

Removed the turn boost to fall in line with other adjustments, and added knockback to its tail attack so it is more combat effective against larger foes like Tyrannosaurus.

Stegosaurus

• Lone Survivor: Removed turn boost

Removed the turn boost to fall in line with other adjustments.

Deinocheirus

• Drenched Blows: Increased damage boost to 20% (previously was 10%)
• Lone Survivor: Removed turn boost

Boosted Drenched Blows to be more competitive with other senses and removed the turn boost to fall in line with other adjustments.

Barsboldia

• Lone Survivor: Removed turn boost
• Base health reduced to 1200 (previously was 1500)

Lowered Barsboldia base health to make it more approachable in a fight and removed the turn boost to fall in line with other adjustments.

Kaiwhekea

• Increased bleed heal slightly

Known Issues

• Ability descriptions are not all updated to match new values. Will be fixed in a future patch.

<@&630633464475156482> There is a new Content Hotfix up. Please note you may need to restart your game to get this patch. Community servers will need to be restarted.

[stone ivy]

There is a known issue with some mods crashing since the patch we are working on a fix

[stone ivy]

We are doing rolling restarts on official servers to apply some fixes. Players might have issues joining while this is rolling out. We will post here when it is completed.

Patch 28284 Hotfix 13 / 14

We have released a new hotpatch addressing some small combat changes and a few game bugs. Please make sure you restart your game to get the latest version.

• Fixed Audio errors flooding logs when in character selection screen
• Fixed non-default skins reverting to default in rare instances
• Fixed sprinting being ignored after another movement modifier ends
• Bug fixes to character movement.
• Bug Fixes to Direct Connect Box on the Server List

Server Owners

New Webhooks:

• BadAverageTick: Called when the server is having a bad average tick rate < 10 for a certain amount of time.
• ServerError: Called when the server is having an error like being unable to register to the server list. Will be expanded in the future for more errors.

Megalania

• Fetid Scent: Decreased damage boost to 20% (previously was 25%)
• Removed venom from Venom Bite, renamed to Heavy Bite
  
  We are pleased to see players enjoying Megalania following the addition of Fetid Scent and venom changes in the Achillobator update. However, we are noticing Megalania players only using the Venom Bite attack in hit and run tactics. Functionally keeping players from being ever able to heal the venom off thanks to Venom Bite's high venom damage output and only ever using this singular attack.
  
  We are tuning back both how strong the damage boost with Fetid Scent is and removing the high venom aspect of the now renamed Heavy Bite. This still allows Megalania to maintain a good damage output and rewards players for using Viper Strike bites to deliver the venom to boost their current Heavy Bite attack alongside future venom attacks in its later ability TLC. While also preventing this perpetual loop of dinosaurs unable to heal their venom off from a singular attack.

Achillobator

• Cruel Swipe cooldown increased to 12 seconds (previously was 8)
• Hollow Bones/Rudder jump cost reduction to 20% (previously was 50%)
  
  We are tuning down the Cruel Swipe ability to match similar abilities such as Daspletosaurus' Piercing Bite attack. While the attack is intended to be strong against larger foes, it was too strong when compared to Piercing Bite. We have also reduced the effects of both Hollow Bones and Rudder to prevent situations where players have infinite stamina.

Daspletosaurus

• Piercing Bite: Cooldown to 15 seconds (previously was 25)
  
  Lowering the cooldown of Piercing Bite to make it more effective as an attack option against larger foes.

Poison/Venom

• Adjusted Venom and Poison values
  
  Following the patch we noticed that not all the venom and poison values were behaving as intended so we have made adjustments here for attacks/abilities that use them. We will continue to make further adjustments in the future for these status effects and abilities that use them.

Patch 31439

Major Changes

• Lambeosaurus has received a TLC pass, improving its model, animations, skins, and also introducing many brand new abilities.
• Server performance dramatically improved, resulting in smoother gameplay.
• Upgraded our engine version to Unreal Engine 5.3, which brings improvements to visuals, hotpatching, and more.

Major General Fixes

• Baby skins will now fully fade out when reaching Sub-Adult growth.
• Added transition animations for Character Creation and Main Menu UI windows.
• Added a setting in the Graphics options menu to enable/disable menu animations.
• Adjusted text for various abilities to be more accurate to their actual given percentages and effects.
• Fixed a bug where the unlock and marks would block the benefits of the subspecies. Players can now see both the bonus stat of the subspecies as well as the unlock.
• Fixed certain consoles having mod download sizes that were much larger than intentional.
• Added Bloom and Lens Flare graphics settings, so you can turn off these effects if desired.
• Fixed game restart requirement when setting effects too low.
• Added a new feature to the server list to only filter by favorite servers, which can be found on their respective pages.
• Added a dedicated collect item button for mobile.
• Due to our engine version upgrade, old Replays will no longer be able to be played. Old version Replays are denoted with an X and can be deleted.
• Added a "Quick Time" button for Bucking to better explain the bucking mechanic.

General Combat Fixes

• Fixed Tyrant's Roar being interruptible.
• Fixed a bug with precise movement forward being treated as trotting instead of walking, which caused more thirst drain on aquatic dinos.
• Fixed for ability Cooldowns persisting through death.
• Fixed ability icon remaining enlarged after changing menus.
• Fixed certain dinosaurs such as the Suchomimus having unintended stamina regeneration rates.
• Fixed charged attacks canceling if the user presses the button too quickly while having Hold & Release active.
• Fixed being able to attack while sitting.
• Fixed Homecave Buff not stopping knockback.
• Passive effects of slotted abilities that have dropped below the unlockable growth threshold are now disabled. Passive effects of slotted abilities that have risen above the unlockable growth threshold are now automatically activated. If there are slotted abilities below the growth requirement after joining a game, a toast will notify it.
• Fixed an exploit that avoided receiving the changing subspecies growth penalty.
• Fixed it so abilities are unable to continue to cool down while the Home Cave buff is applied.
• Fixed being able to heal status effects in Home Cave.
• Fixed kick attacks occasionally rubberbanding.
• Fixed status effects persisting after death.
• Fixed Abilities don't stop if the player leaves the game halfway through the animation.
• Fixed Flock Migration not stacking properly.
• Made players attempt to adjust out of each other when colliding with each other, to prevent them getting stuck together.
• Fixed Ripping Kick / Tail Fan / Pounce exceeding velocity, causing the character to move faster than intended.
• Fixed Kaiwhekea, Stegosaurus, and Suchomimus regenerating stamina incorrectly under certain circumstances.
• You can now swallow items while using precise movement.

Pounce/Bucking Changes

• Slick Feathers/Scales Rework: Slick Feathers/Scales no longer provide complete immunity to Pounce. Now, when you buck/struggle, it will instead increase the stamina drain of the pouncer by an additional 30%.
• Raptor Strikes damage boost while pouncing to 1.4 (from 1.2) for Deinonychus and Latenivenatrix.
• Adjusted Bucking to instead take as long as the animation plays, which is 2 seconds. This means bucking no longer drains stamina as fast as you can press it, and instead will correspond with 1 loop of the bucking animation.
• Also added a curve to override for Bucking duration/Cooldown for community servers to change this if desired.

Stomp

• Stomp Attacks will now hold the user in place while it's being performed to avoid sliding stomp attacks for creatures who are not intended to be able to move while stomping.

Charges

• Fixed Charge ability doing full damage and knockback no matter the distance. It now will scale with the length of time channeled.
• Acceleration when charging is now much faster overall, allowing you to gain speed quickly compared to the way charge previously worked.

Pounce and Clamp Fixes

• Fixed for clamp and pounce ignoring home cave buff.
• Fixed a Pounce invisibility exploit.
• Fixed pounce making players stop mid-air on a failed latch.
• Fixed clamped aquatics regenerating water while being carried.
• Fixed changing abilities while clamping target causing clamp lock/stamina drain.
• Fixed bucking preventing users from interacting with objects until the latched creature was removed.
• Fixed teleporting when clamped while being attached.
• Fixed infinite stamina drain when clamping a dino that has the home cave buff.
• Fixed for dinos being able to latch onto an already latched creature.
• Fixed clamping dino dropping victim when pounced.
• Fixed raptors getting stuck after detaching from a crouched Hatzegopteryx.

Lambeosaurus TLC

• Updated the model, subspecies, and many animations for the Lambeosaurus.
• Updated Lambeosaurus skins: Default, Barred, and Swamp.
• Added various new abilities, including the "Ability Set" system for its Voice slot. This allows the Lambeo to equip 1 Voice ability that then provides access to 3 different types of voice calls at once. Lambeo now has access to "Combat Calls", "Survival Calls" and "Healing Calls" Ability Sets. Please see the descriptions for each new ability for their effects.
• Lambeosaurus can now enter a bipedal stance instead of crouching
• Various ability updates (see Lambeosaurus section in Combat Changes for additional information)

Water Effects:

• Updated the underwater effects across the entire map. They now look better, have light rays, and are less performance-intensive.
• Updated dinosaur wetness and dripping effects.
• Added Low-quality settings version of underwater biome blending to avoid certain water rendering issues.
• Added splash effects when landing in water.
• Updated underwater caustics material.

Night Time Brightness

• Increased brightness of fog on low shadow settings to improve nighttime appearing too dark when foggy.
• Fixed medium lighting settings making the game appear darker at nighttime.
• This has had an effect on daytime lighting to various degrees

Game Sounds

• Reworked the way footsteps calculate attenuation based on growth stage. They will now fade out much quicker when young compared to adult. This is most notable with large creatures such as Spinosaurus.
• Overall reduced the range at which footsteps can be heard.
• Crouching/Walking will also now play an overall quieter footstep sound for all dinosaurs.
• Broadcast calls now travel much further than other calls.
• Adjusted water and beach sound effects to not reach so far and reduced volume by 40%.
• Reduced rain and wind volume slightly.
• Lowered volume of glow mushroom sound effect.

Dinosaur Changes

Rhamphorhynchus

• Added a Rat Out alert animation.
• Bite is now moved to the "Common" slot and can be equipped at all times to make fishing/critter hunting easier.
• Added immunity to Plague Carrier effects if it is equipped
• Changed how Plotting Whispers behaves and fixed issues (Increasing effect and duration, doesn't get removed if detached, one-time application).
• Improved Bloodsucker Drain to 20% from 5% Health regained.
• Improved Woozy Effect (All turn radius is now -50%).
• Improved Scab Picker Deepening Wounds (Duration to 20s from 5s, Reduced BleedingHealRate to 5 stacks at -10% each).
• Added Lucky Feathers Passive Effect.
• Added Fishing Lure Ability.
• Added Fishy Breath Ability.
• Fixed Rhamphorhynchus full bleed bug.
• Fixed Rhamphorhynchus being able to regenerate health while pouncing.
• Fixed Rhamphorhynchus being able to benefit from Achillobator buffs.
• Fixed Rhamphorhynchus Dart not working while holding fish.

Dev Note: Further quality of life passes to Rhamphorhynchus and the addition of its Passive Effect that prevents a player from getting one-shot by an attack. While Lucky Feathers is active, the player should be immune to all incoming damage for 10 seconds allowing them time to get away. Once this effect activates, it is on cooldown and Rhamphorhynchus has to wait for the 5-minute cooldown to end before the effect can be used again. Bite has been moved to its own slot so players opting to use Rhamphorhynchus' other bite abilities can still hunt AI and use their debuff bite attacks. We have also added two new abilities to aid in Rhamphorhynchus' fishing role and support role. We hope players enjoy these changes.

Hatzegopteryx

• Increased slow-flying and fast-flying stamina costs.
• Hatzegopteryx Peck can no longer be used in the air.
• Increased Hatz peck damage to 60 (from 50).
• Decreased Peck cooldown to 1.5 (from 2).
• Decreased Peck Barrage damage to 4 (from 6).
• Decreased Peck Barrage cooldown to 3 (from 6).
• Decreased Grab stamina cost to 1 (from 10).
• Added Hatzegopteryx Shriek of Horrors ability.
• Added Hatzegopteryx Beak Clack ability.
• Added Hatzegopteryx Death Croak ability.
• Fixed Hatzegopteryx causing impact damage with the Home Cave Buff active.
• Fixed Hatzegoteryx carnage persisting after switching to Evil Eye
• Fixed Hatzegopteryx Fly Down button disappearing once pressed, forcing it to crouch when landing.

Dev Note: Following the fix to Hatzegopteryx's flight stamina as we move to prevent cross-map griefing, we are adjusting the combat stats of several abilities to give Hatzegopteryx more punch while grounded.

Deinonychus

• Improved stamina depletion rate to allow for Deinonychus to run for longer periods.
• Can equip pounce at Juvenile growth, and Pounce now costs only 400 marks.
• Fixed Lightweight on Deinonychus reducing Combat Weight, which made them unable to be pounced by other Deinonychus of the same life stage.

Dev Note: Quality of life passes on Deinonychus to make it easier to play compared to its peers.

Latenivenatrix

• Fixed baby Latenivenatrix using less running stamina while in a tutorial cave.

Achillobator

• Increased Bite damage to 60 (from 50).

• Decreased Bite cooldown to 1.5 (from 2).

• Decreased Claw Attack damage to 70 (from 90).

• Fixed Achillobator dropping Items when using claw attacks.

• Added Achillobator wound textures, so its damage will appear more accurate to where the player was hit.

Dev Note: We have lowered the damage values on both of Achillobator's claw attacks as we are moving Achillobator to be more focused on group play and pouncing. The base bite has been adjusted to still give solo Achillobator some lethality while limiting its effectiveness against larger creatures. Shred has been given a significant buff to aid in this push towards pouncing onto large targets. Finally, the group buffs have been increased to further encourage grouping with smaller raptors to not only benefit yourself but also your minions.

Concavenator

• Increased Claw Attack Bleed to 1 (from .75).
• Increased Ripping Kick Bleed to 1 (from .75).

Dev Note: We have increased the bleed damage output on Concavenator's bleed attacks to give it a bit more of a punch and be competitive with its 2 slot peers.

Metriacanthosaurus

• Hustle duration has been increased to 5 minutes (from 2) and range to 75 meters (from 30).
• Fixed Metriacanthosaurus call ability getting removed at the adolescent stage.

Dev Note: Matching Hustle changes for Lambeosaurus.

• Fixed the abilities of Ceratosaurus becoming unusable if doing the Charged Bite right after activating emotes.

Dev Note: We have lowered the effectiveness of some of Ceratosaurus' overperforming abilities and improved the effectiveness of its Venom Heal subspecies to be more competitive with other options.

• Bite attacks should not put other bite attacks on cooldown anymore.
• Updated Daspletosaurus default skin
• Updated Daspletosaurus eye texture to be a bit brighter.

Dev Note: Decreased base damage slightly to fall in line with bite cooldown reduction. We have also unlinked all the bite cooldowns from each other. This should make Daspletosaurus feel less unwieldy to play.

Kaiwhekea

• Fixed Kaiwhekea's Barrel Roll skipping animations if it reaches the surface.

Suchomimus

• Land Speed subspecies has been changed to 10% Bleed and Venom Heal.
• Fixed Suchomimus's idle animation freezing when precise movement is held.

Dev Note: Removing the overperforming subspecies to fall more in line with other options. There is a bug preventing us from shipping the Claw Barrage damage nerf to 6 (from 8) in this patch that will be fixed in a later patch.

Allosaurus

• Land Speed subspecies have been changed to 10% health recovery rate.
• Fixed some Spinosaurus subspecies having odd stretching around the legs when animating.

• Reduced volume of Tyrannosaurus calls by about 50%.

Server Owners

• Fixed curves growth scaling. Previously, many game functions such as charge speed or kick speed were using the values between entries 0-1 in the curve, instead of entries 0-5.

We also modified the default values for all of these affected curves so that the game feel remains the same.

• Fixed server list pages not working.
• Fixed IP ban not being usable by server Admins.

🦕 Important Update for the Path of Titans Community 🦕

Greetings, Dinosaur Enthusiasts!

We're excited to share some important updates and insights into our development process, particularly for our Nintendo Switch players. As we continue to evolve Path of Titans, we remain committed to enhancing your experience and keeping you closely informed.

Updates Across All Platforms
We've recently completed a significant engine upgrade from Unreal 5.0 to 5.3. This upgrade was a major endeavor that involved extensive work and bug fixing to ensure optimal performance across all platforms. While there might be a few bugs following the update, we are dedicated to swiftly resolving these issues. We value your feedback during this period and appreciate your understanding and support.

Impact on Replay Feature
Due to the engine upgrade, we regret to inform you that replays saved on older versions of the game will become unplayable. We understand this may be disappointing, and we apologize for the inconvenience.

Mod and Community Server Updates
With this new patch, mods and community servers will require some time to update to the latest version. We ask for your patience as server admins and mod creators work to make their content compatible with the new changes. This might temporarily affect the availability of some mods and community servers, but it is a necessary step to ensure that all features function correctly and enhance your gameplay experience.

Special Note to Our Nintendo Switch Players <@&630630225436213259>
For our Nintendo Switch community, here are some specific updates:

• Patch Delay: The latest patch will arrive on Nintendo Switch after its release on other platforms due to the more extended certification process required by Nintendo. By initially releasing on other platforms, we can collect feedback and address any emergent bugs, ensuring that the Switch version you receive is the best possible one.

• Nintendo Switch Online for Multiplayer: Starting with this next patch, playing Path of Titans in multiplayer mode on Nintendo Switch will require a Nintendo Switch Online membership due to a policy update from Nintendo. However, single-player gameplay remains accessible without a Nintendo Switch Online membership. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.

• Community Server Access: Not every community server will support older versions of the game, which may limit access for Nintendo Switch players until the new patch is released. However, you can continue to play on Official Multiplayer servers that will be available.

• Exciting Future Updates: We have some exciting updates planned specifically for our Nintendo Switch users, including significant improvements in performance, framerate, and graphics. These enhancements are designed to make your dinosaur survival experience even more immersive and enjoyable. These improvements have been part of our on-going work of reaching 200 player servers.

Looking Ahead
Our team is working hard to minimize the time between updates and ensure that your feedback directly influences our development process. We are dedicated to improving Path of Titans and delivering more regular updates.

Please see the full patch changelog posted above. We also have a Dev Blog releasing shortly.

Thank you all for your continued passion and support. Your involvement makes the world of Path of Titans dynamic and vibrant. Stay tuned for more updates, and let's keep roaring ahead together!

Updates for Mobile Players

• Only around 30% of users have the latest patch installed that addresses a number of crash issues if you are having crashes be sure to update.
• Some user reports of lag and stuttering have been caused by FPS 60 mode. If you set your FPS to 60 it can cause your phone to throttle and you to get ~17 FPS instead and stutter.
• Some Phone models like Samsung S24 have a known freeze issue we are looking into which seems to be a bug in the GPU Driver.
• Known Issue: Collect all button overlapping other buttons and not editable in HUD editor

Please let us know if you are having any issues with the mobile version of the game here:

Patch 31439 Hotfix 11

• General Crash Fixes & Performance Improvements

Fixes for Mobile Devices (iOS / Android):

• Lowered Memory Usage by having the game remove assets that are currently not needed to be unloaded which will help low RAM / Memory devices.
• Error 11 Out of disk space error will now tell you how much space you need to update / install the game.
• Disabled the 60 FPS rendering setting due to a issue with thermal throttling causing serious performance issues. It will come back in a future update when it is better implemented.

This patch is currently up only for Android & iOS. We will be collecting bug reports before rolling it out to other platforms.

[stone ivy]

Crash Update for iOS / Android

We found the root cause of the main problem of crashing when getting a waystone, logging in, logging out, spawning into a server.
This was caused by some optimizations we made for Unreal Engine 5.0 that was missing when we upgraded to 5.3. We are porting the fix and it will make it into the next patch Hotfix 12 which is expected to be released tomorrow.

Sorry for any inconvenience these issues may have caused. Some of these crashes render the game unplayable for certain phones / devices.

These fixes won't fix the issues with Samsung S24 phones, this will require additional work which is currently being done by a different team member.

[stone ivy]

Update Regarding Server Instability for Official Servers

Hello everyone,

Path of Titans Official Servers are hosted on hardware managed by Alderon Games, and we know the stability of our servers is essential for a fun gaming experience.
However, recently players have been reporting consistent server crashes and general instability.

After a thorough investigation, we have identified the issue causing our server instability was tied to specific CPUs used in some of our game servers. The full explanation can be read in our write-up article here: https://alderongames.com/intel-crashes

On behalf of the Alderon Games team I wanted to apologize for the recent Official Server crashes that has caused a detriment to the game experience.
We have replaced all the defective CPUs and rolled out these servers, so there should no longer be as frequent server crashes like before caused by this. Keep in mind that there still may be some separate issues unrelated to this fix.

I hope that your server experience moving forward is much more reliable, and if you ever do run into any issues please do reach out to us and let us know about your experiences.

• Updated UI of Gameplay Settings to be more user friendly and easy to interact with

Combat Fixes

• Improved the accuracy of Daspletosaurus ‘Bone Snap’ and ‘Heavy Bite’ attacks
• Improved collision on Daspletosaurus’ tail to prevent players becoming stuck when running behind a Daspletosaurus
• Removed Stegosaurus Voice Slot, as it was unused
• Fixed Struthiomimus's "On Alert" ability triggering while not actually being used
• Fixed Styracosaurus being able to run and use Block at the same time
• Added a minimum speed to certain abilities, which prevents them from being activated in unintended ways, such as Eotriceratops charging and stomping at the same time
• Fixed a bug where all Charge abilities were applying unintended extra damage
• Fixed "Fresh Blood" and "Fetid Scent" passive abilities triggering when the player themselves are affected by status effect instead of only triggering by other players with a status effect
• Added Passive Spiked Hide to Kentrosaurus, which simply better explains the passive bleeding spikes effect that Kentrosaurus already has

Combat Balance Changes

Pounce

• Pouncing players no longer have immunity from damage caused by the creatures they are pounced onto

Dev Note: We are removing this immunity, but will be looking to improve attacks towards pouncing dinosaurs at a later date. We would like to make damaging a pounced player more consistant, and for the pounced player to have better strategies available to avoid taking damage.

Amargasaurus

• Health Recovery Rate increased to 1.55 (from 1.17)
• Lowered Reflect damage values

Dev Note: This should let Amargasaurus recover from fights faster, similar to the amount of time it took prior to the max health buff that Armagasaurus received previously. We have lowered the reflect damage values on Armagasaurus as it is now better equipped to defend itself.

Albertaceratops

• Health Recovery Rate increased to 1.5 (from 1.08)
• Headbutt damage increased to 45 (from 40)
• Headslam damage increased to 75 (from 60)
• Decreased Headslam Stamina cost
• Stomp damage increased to 70 (from 60)
• Improved Max Sprinting Speed
• Improved Turning and Turn in Place
• Increased Stamina cost while sprinting

Dev Note: We are increasing Albertaceratops' base health recovery rate to better match the time it took to heal prior to the max health buff that it received previously, and are giving it moderate damage buffs to better defend itself from attackers. We have increased the agility and max sprinting speed to help it survive encounters as well. The stamina cost while sprinting has been increased to compensate for Albertaceratops' new increased sprinting speed.

Pachycephalosaurus

• Charge damage increased to 100 (from 40)
• Headbutt damage increased to 60 (from 50)
• Combat Weight increased to 2000

Dev Note: We are giving the charge ability a noticeable damage increase to make it a more competitive option with the kick attack and increased headbutt's base damage to give Pachycephalosaurus more of a fighting chance. We are increasing Pachycephalosaurus' combat weight to aid in this as well.

Alioramus

• Bite damage increased to 55 (from 45)
• Max Health increased to 475 (from 400)

Dev Note: We are increasing Alioramus’ bite damage following Struthiomimus' TLC to make its attacks more effective against smaller dinosaurs. We have increased its max health to allow Alioramus to last longer in difficult fights.

Daspletosaurus

• Heavy Bite damage to 90 (from 120)
• Heavy Bite cooldown increased to 15 seconds (from 5)
• Piercing Bite damage to 120 (from 150)

Dev Note: We are reeling in Daspletosaurus' impressive damage output following the cooldown changes it received to bring it more in line with its peers.

Ceratosaurus/Pycnonemosaurus

• Lowered reflective passive damage

Dev Note: We have lowered the reflect damage of both Ceratosaurus and Pycnonemosaurus to make these dinosaurs less frustrating to play against.

Patch 33901 Hotfix 19

Key Updates and Fixes:

1. Character Load Limit Workaround for Community Servers:

   • Issue: Servers may experience issues if players have more characters than can be loaded or sent over the network, potentially causing soft locks and preventing players from logging in.
   • Workaround: The server will now return as many characters as can fit within the network limitations. However, some characters may not be returned by the server.
   • Recommendation: Server owners are strongly advised to set a reasonable character limit, such as 30-50 characters per player, to avoid these issues. This can be done by setting MaxCharactersPerPlayer=50 in the Game.ini file.

2. Community Server Mutes:

   • Fix: When a player is muted on a community server, the reason for the mute will now be displayed to the muted player.

3. New Server Settings:

   • Whitelist Roles:

     • Added a new setting bWhitelistUserRoles, which is enabled by default (true). This should be placed under [Script/PathOfTitans.IGameSession] in the Game.ini file:
     • Behavior: If set to false, users with roles defined in Commands.ini will still need to be whitelisted.

   • Quest Logging and Enablement:

     • Several new settings have been introduced for managing specific quest types. These settings should be placed under [Script/PathOfTitans.IGameSession] in the Game.ini file:
       • bLogDisabledQuests: Enables logging of disabled quests.
       • bEnableWaterRestoreQuests: Enables water restore quests.
       • bEnableWaystoneQuests: Enables waystone quests.
       • bEnableDeliverQuests: Enables deliver quests.
       • bEnableGroupMeetQuests: Enables group meet quests.
       • bEnableExploreQuests: Enables explore quests.
       • bEnableHuntingQuests: Enables hunting quests.

Android Game not starting issue

We have a fix up rolling out to google play now, if you are having issues try updating to this new version when it shows up.

Patch is Patch 33901 Hotfix 20

<@&630630022721306634>

[stone ivy]

Patch 33901 Hotfix 20

• Crash Fixes & Performance Improvements
• Possible Fix to Performance Issues on macOS
• Fixed: Devices with Lower Resolutions not working properly like GPD Win 3 in Graphics settings.
• Bug Fixes to 'Character Active on another server' system to be more reliable.
• Fixed: Startup Crashes with Android.

Community Server Owners:

• Added new Webhook ServerStart
• Add new command line arg: -ExternalRconPort= which can be used to set a external RCON port for the ServerStart webhook. This only needs to be set if you have a seperate RCON port from one that's externally accessible like the game server is running in a container etc.
• Webhooks can now be set thru RCON using /webhook command. This would allow automations / bots to set a single ServerStart webhook which can then be used to enable all the other required webhooks.
• Character Limit of 100 is now enforced in the game itself as the Max supported Character Limit for Community Servers.

[stone ivy]

Known Server Issue

We are currently looking into it. We also have to reboot a number of broken servers.

Patch 33901 Hotfix 21

• Fixed: Several client and server crashes that were affecting stability.
• Fixed: Issue where joining servers with mods would trigger an "incompatible mod" warning.
• Fixed: Bug that caused problems when logging out in a home cave with an active character.
• Added: Updates to mod management, allowing modders to more easily test their mod builds on dedicated servers.
• Fixed: Crash caused by RCON commands.
• Improved: Disconnection error messages. When a server disconnects or times out, the error message will now include the server ID and/or name. This will help players report issues to support or Discord, making it easier for us to investigate and resolve problems.

We are aware of the number of crashes, issues, and downtime experienced this week, and we agree that it was unacceptable. We’re taking steps to improve how we monitor and address these issues. If you experience any unusual disconnections or crashes, please let us know so we can help track down the root cause and ensure a stable experience for everyone.

AI Critters

New free-roaming Critters have come to Panjura and Gondwa! These dynamically spawning creatures will wander around the map, watching for danger and searching for things to hunt. Unique Critters will appear in different biomes, with many having attacks and abilities that can be serious threats! Players must now watch out for danger, as many critters will chase and attack smaller dinosaurs like hatchlings and raptors. Critters like the Platyhystrix can now inflict venom with its bite, while other aggressive creatures like Dynamosuchus can cause heavy bleed with its powerful jaws. Critters are also a great source of food for smaller dinosaurs and will vary in what food type their corpses provide, such as Platyhystrix’s body only being edible for scavengers.

Diet Changes

We have rebalanced many of the carnivore diets this patch. Thanks to the new critter AI that will be wandering around the map, diets are now less punishing for some creatures. As an example; Insectivore, Fisher, Scavenger, and Hypercarnivore no longer increases or decreases how fast a dinosaur loses its water. Hypercarnivores and scavengers will also not affect how fast food drains. Large dinosaurs no longer can sit in one spot for almost 2 hours without eating, and other dinosaurs will no longer die of starvation in under 20 minutes despite constantly looking for food.

Insectivore now also takes longer for food to fully drain due to the limited number of insect food sources around the map, while Fisher drains faster because of the abundance of fish.

We haven’t forgotten our herbivore players! We have dramatically increased the number of berry bushes on Gondwa, with now over 300 spread across the map. These bushes can be found in open grassy areas, similar to where bushes grow on Panjura. Berry bushes now also feature a scraggly tree that grows in the middle of the cluster, making them easier to find in a dense forest.

Subspecies Stat Changes

The team has also updated the subspecies for many dinosaurs that were using the older stat tweaks that forced a tradeoff, such as "Increases speed, but decreases armor". As a general rule moving forward, we subspecies will provide positive gameplay options that are good for different playstyles. We will be avoid modifying any massively game-altering stats such as land movement speed, turning radius, and mobility, as these have proven to be playstyle-altering for any dinosaurs affected by these stat options and are much more powerful compared to their subspecies alternatives.

Balance Changes

We have made stat changes in this patch to address dinosaur abilities that no longer fit within the future planned playstyle of the dinosaur, abilities that are too weak or no longer relevant in gameplay, and stat adjustments. These adjustments aim to make old abilities more useful in their current state, and to help a dinosaur fit within its future planned gameplay style better while additional abilities are worked on. The adjustments we have made to the dinosaurs base stats are intended to improve the gameplay for them now, while we work on further improvements in the future.

The following have been updated with new subspecies stats; Allosaurus, Daspletosaurus, Deinonychus, Kaiwhekea, Metriacanthosaurus, Thalassodromeus, Barsboldia, Deinocheirus, and Iguanodon.

Combat Changes

Struthiomimus:

• Increased Kick Barrage Damage to 9 (from 6)

Dev Note: We’ve increased Kick Barrage’s potency to help reward Struthiomimus players for using this attack. Now the trade-off should be less punishing to land this attack while slowed down versus the reward for using it.

Camptosaurus:

• Increased Max Health to 600 (from 400)
• Decreased Hop Away Stamina Cost to 10 (from 15)
• Added Thick Scutes (Hide)
• Added Second Wind (Hide)
• Removed Tough Scutes
• Removed Lightweight Scales

Dev Note: We’re increasing Camptosaurus’ base health to help this dinosaur be able to survive more hits in a fight and make its Hop Away Ability less draining to use. This should be helped additionally with either its Thick Scutes hide allowing it to regenerate health faster or Second Wind which gives the Campto more stamina every time it receives a hit.

Pachycephalosaurus:

• Improved base turning
• Added Second Wind (Hide)
• Added Braced Legs (Back Limb)
• Removed Tough Scutes
• Removed Lightweight Scales
• Removed Lone Survivor
• Removed Balanced Tail
• Removed Senses Slot

Dev Note: We’re rolling back some of the previous nerfs to see how Pachycephalosaurus performs with the retired abilities no longer allowing it to perform better than intended. Additionally, the Second Wind hide ability and Braced Legs should assist this dinosaur in utilizing its terrain better.

Kentrosaurus:

• Increased Max Health to 600 (from 450)
• Increased Base Damage of Tail Attack to 55 (from 45)
• Increased Base Damage of Tail Swing to 45 (from 25)
• Improved base turning

Anodontosaurus:

• Removed Traction

Styracosaurus:

• Increased Max Health to 600 (from 550)
• Improved base turning
• Removed Balanced Legs

Albertaceratops:

• Removed Balanced Legs
• Stomp now locks user in place when activated

Lambeosaurus:

• Increased Dunking Kick Speed Boost to 20% (from 10%)
• Increased Healing Presence Heal Boost to 1 (from 0.25)
• Increased Protector Armor Boost to 25% (from 15%)
• Removed Stamina Cost of Back Kick
• Increased Effects of All Combat Calls by 5%
• Doubled Duration of All Combat Calls

Dev Note: We’ve increased the effectiveness of the combat calls to give them more comparable strength to the survival and healing calls. Additionally, we have buffed Healing Presence/Protector hides to be stronger and aid Lambeosaurus more effectively in its support role besides just its calls. Finally, Dunking Kick now gives more of a swim speed boost.

Miragaia:

• Decreased Muddy Scales Paralysis Boost to 10% (from 50%)
• Increased Tail Venom Amount to 0.35 (from 0.25)
• Increased Tail Swing Venom Amount to 1 (from 0.75)
• Increased Tail Barrage Venom Amount to 0.2 (from 0.15)
• Increased Caked On Mud buff to 18x (from 3x)

Dev Note: We’re decreasing the paralysis boost from Muddy Scales to both compensate for the newly buffed Caked On and make this Hide option more comparable to its other options. The venom output on most of Miragaia’s attacks has been increased to assist in combining Venom with Detonate.

Stegosaurus:

• Increased Max Health to 750 (from 600)
• Increased Stamina Recovery Rate to 0.7 (from 0.4)
• Removed Traction

Amargasaurus:

• Stomp now locks user in place when activated

Iguanodon:

• Iguanodon has received its TLC pass!
• Added Bipedal Stance, Family Chorus, Retaliate, Trampling Feet, Arm Slam, Block, Quadrupedal, Running Start, Thumb Barrage, Resilient Scales, Second Wind, Thick Scutes, Braced Legs, Gauntlets, Hero’s Stand, Back Kick, Gallop, Pivot, and Planted Feet
• Added stamina recovery boost while in Bipedal Stance
• Increased Max Health to 750 (from 700)
• Increased Health Recovery Rate to 1.4 (from 1.11)
• Added a second Front Limb Slot
• Added a second Back Limb Slot
• Removed Tail Slot
• Increased Iguanodon’s slot size to 4 (from 3)
• Moved Tail Attack to Back Limb
• Added knockback to Tail Attack
• Removed Lone Survivor. Stab, Lightweight Scales, Tough Scutes, Slick Scales, Traction, Webbed Feet, Paddle Tail

Dev Note: We’ve rebalanced some of Iguanodon’s stats to fit better with the more heavy hitting playstyle it now has. The max health and health recovery rates have been boosted to allow Iguanodon to be able to stand its ground better. We’ve added a second front and back limb slot to allow Iguanodon to utilize more of its abilities in these two categories.

Eotriceratops:

• Removed Balanced Legs

Deinocheirus:

• Increased Hiss Duration to 75 seconds (from 20)

Barsboldia:

• Increased Tail Attack Damage to 55 (from 45)
• Increased Tail Slam Damage to 85 (from 75)

Hatzegopteryx:

• Adjusted Stab to scale with Growth
• Reduced Stamina Cost of Barrel Roll to 2 (from 5)
• Reduced Stamina Cost of Flail to 2 (from 5)
• Increased Flail Damage to 60 (from 35)
• Lowered Shriek of Horrors Cooldown to 150 seconds (from 300)
• Lowered Death Croak Cooldown to 180 seconds (from 300)
• Removed Stamina Cost of Death Croak
• Lowered Beak Clack Cooldown to 150 seconds (from 300)

Dev Note: We’ve reduced the stamina costs of Hatzgopteryx’s air-based attacks to let it better fight in the air while still requiring careful stamina management. We have also increased Flail’s damage to not be made obsolete by Barrel Roll. We’re also lowering the cooldowns of Hatzgopteryx’s calls due to them being too limiting and slow to use compared to calls available to other dinosaurs. Finally, the killer baby Hatzegopteryxes should be less terrifying for our Rex players.

Deinonychus:

• Deinonychus has received its TLC pass!
• Added Distracting Chatter, Mob Rally, On Alert, Rat Out, Slicer, Sever Tendon, Double Jump, Lucky Feathers, Loose Down, Escape Artist, Meat Shield, Pack Hunter, and Static Cling
• Lowered Max Health to 350 (from 500)
• Lowered Combat Weight to 800 (from 1000)
• Increased Raptor Strikes Duration to 30 seconds (from 10)
• Increased Sprinting Stamina Cost to 0.5 (from 0.3)
• Removed Alert Call, Bark, Ripping Kick, Dense Feathers, Lightweight, Scout, Slick Feathers, and Rudder

Dev Note: We have lowered Deinonychus’ base durability stats as Deinonychus now has much greater mobility tools in its arsenal. The stamina has been adjusted as well for this reason. Raptor strikes received the same buffs the other raptors are receiving to help this attack be easier to use.

Latenivenatrix:

• Decreased Max Health to 400 (from 500)
• Increased Combat Weight to 1400 (from 1100)
• Decreased Base Bite damage to 35 (from 50)
• Decreased Hiss Damage Reduction to 50% (from 75%)
• Increased Hiss Duration to 1 minute (from 20 seconds)
• Increased Raptor Strikes Duration to 30 seconds (from 10)

Dev Note: We’re adjusting Latenivenatrix to further lean into the damaging raptor role between it and Deinonychus while also adjusting some of its base health and damage stats in mind with Deinonychus buffs.

Concavenator:

• Improved base turning
• Removed Lightweight Scales
• Removed Balanced Claws

Alioramus:

• Improved base turning
• Removed Lone Survivor
• Removed Balanced Tail
• Removed Traction

Achillobator:

• Reduced Max Health to 525 (from 600)
• Increased Health Recovery Rate to 1.67 (from 1.25)
• Reduced Bite Damage to 50 (from 60)
• Reduced Survival of the Fittest Speed Increase to 5% (from 10%)
• Increased Raptor Strikes buff duration to 30 seconds (from 10)
• Increased Ripping Kick Base Damage to 25 (from 10)
• Increased Ripping Kick Bleed Damage to 0.4 (from .25)
• Increased War Cry Armor and Stamina Recovery Values Increase to 25% (from 10%)
• Increased War Cry Duration to 60 seconds (from 30)
• Increased Mocking Cackle Duration to 60 seconds (from 30)

Dev Note: We’re bringing down some of Achillobator’s solo lethality and base durability to both further line up with the mob boss playstyle and the Deinonychus TLC. The base health and default bite attack have both been lowered alongside the speed boost from Survival of the Fittest. In return, its health recovery has been increased along with Raptor Strikes and Ripping Kick to get alternative damage options. War Cry and Mocking Cackle have been adjusted to help your raptor minions excel with their new tools.

Daspletosaurus:

Community servers can use the same overrides found in #server-updates (If you a server owner please get the server owner role in #role-setup to see this previous channel link)
This will be fixed in a future patch.

[stone ivy]

Update Rolling Out

We are currently working on restarting servers and rolling out a new update, we will post a changelog / youtube video / blog post when ready and ping everyone when the update is complete. Until this is completed everything might not work yet

Servers may restart earlier then expected to patch.

[frail wolf]

We've just released Nesting, available to play right now!

Build nests, adopt players, hatch from eggs, and grow together, all while fending off aggressive critters and feeding your young! Nesting includes a number of features like gathering resources, nest customization, and maintaining your nest to keep your family happy and healthy; here’s an overview of what we’ve included in this update!

This is the very first implementation of Nesting, and while all the core features are there, we will be looking at community feedback and implementing even more features and improvements in following patches and game updates. @everyone

Looking at some server issues Fixed

[stone ivy]

Patch 35624 Hotfix 8

• Crash Fixes & General Performance Improvements
• Fixes to some Rendering Issues on Rocks and Critter Dig Particles for Android
• Fixed: Non-Aquatic playables get directed to resources located underwater
• Fixed: Rotating Homecave decorations on mobile is difficult
• Fixed: Nests can no longer be placed directly outside of Homecaves.
• Fixed: Nests despawn immediately in singleplayer in some cases
• Fixed: Soft lock bug on mobile where you can't place a nest in some cases and UI buttons stop working.

Community / Server Owners:

• Added server settings bUseTutorialCustomGrowthMultiplier and TutorialCustomGrowthMultiplier. If using the custom tutorial multiplier, it will ignore the normal growth multiplier for tutorial quests.
  Hatchling cave quests are unaffected because they are intended to get the player to 0.25 growth exactly. These settings are intended to solve a issue with Passive Growth and Nesting where nesting boosts the players growth too much. This now lets server owners configure and fix this.

These settings can be configured in Game.ini (You only need to include them if you plan to change them)

[/Script/PathOfTitans.IGameSession]
bUseTutorialCustomGrowthMultiplier=false
TutorialCustomGrowthMultiplier=1.0

Patch Rollout:
This patch is currently rolling out for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, Xbox, PlayStation. Please keep in mind it may take some time to show up.

Thanks for all the bug reports and feedback 🐢

[stone ivy]

Patch 35624 Hotfix 10

Nesting:

• Added Alderon Id to Family Tree to make it easier to join family members and track them down again if they get lost.
• Fixed: Nest decoration can block character selection screen
• Fixed: Nests placed in small places can cause players to fall through the world when spawning
• Fixed: Nesting quests giving incorrect amount of Marks

Replays:

• Fixed: Replays do not show attacks performed by the recorder/creator of the replay

Server Decoration Limit:

• We are limiting the max number of decorations of each type you can own each at once to 25. We plan on this being configurable as a server setting in the future.
  If players already have more then this, they can still keep the decorations. However they will be prevented from buying more if they already have this many in storage.

• Trophies do not have this limit as it only applies to purchasing decorations for marks.

• Please keep the mark limit if one is set on the server you are playing on (official servers) in mind when selling homecave decorations. We will be adding a warning to let users know when they have reached the limit in a future patch.

Official Server Setting Changes

Official Server Mark Limit:

• We have added a mark limit of 20,000 to the official servers to help combat the dangerous affects of exploits in the game community.
  While we often patch these bugs quick, players can still have time to use them before we can fix it. Marks are important for game balance and are used in a lot of areas of the game like Waystone cooldowns.
• We understand players like the nature of collecting marks at the end of the game when they run out of content and this might be disappointing for those players that they can't keep unlocking marks forever.
  Luckily there will be some new content for these players to enjoy in the future when the metrics system comes out in the future.

Official Server Changes to Mark Loss on Death:

• As all the death penalties for mark loss was based upon there not being a limit, we have now reduced the mark loss on death by all types to 50% of their previous values.

Official Balance Adjustments

• Struthiomimus Kick Barrage Damage Buff Reduced to 1.5 (from 2)
• Iguanodon Arm Slam Damage Reduced to 40 (from 80)
• Iguanodon Second Wind Reduced to 0.5 (from 2)
  (These will be provided to server owners as curve changes that can be optionally applied to their server)

Dev Note: We've adjusted a few dinosaurs following this patch as we take notes from community feedback. The Arm Slam attack has had its damage reduced by half due to a bug with it hitting twice. We're currently looking into a fix and appreciate your feedback on our recent TLC dinosaurs.

[stone ivy]

Patch 35624 Hotfix 11

• We had to revert the replay attack fix because it caused problems with charge abilities in-game under normal gameplay.

[stone ivy]

Patch 35624 Hotfix 13

• Crash Fixes & Performance Improvements
• Fixed: Audio Bug near 0,0,0 that was happening on Game Mode Mods during testing
• Possible Fix: Homecave and Waystone Icons not properly showing upon the map in some situations.

Server Owners:

• Fixed: A bug where when changing MaxAdoptionGrowth to a low value would result in players being unable to eat from a nest in community servers.
  We have fixed this by adding a new server setting.

Game.ini
MaxEatFromNestGrowth=0.5
This setting controls the maximum growth a character can eat food or drink water from their parent's nest. This will let players rebalance the other nesting values without affecting being able to eat from a nest.

This patch is currently rolling out and may take some time before showing up depending on the platform.

[stone ivy]

35624 Hotfix 17

• Crash Fixes & Performance Improvements
• Possible Fix for an Issue where Map POIs were not working correctly and the Map Location would show you at a wrong area, such as being in Titan's Pass even though you were not.
  This would cause wrong quests to be assigned and general issues with the game. This bug would also happen when using Waystones / Homecaves and Teleporting.
• Fixed: Bug that caused a small number of players to get kicked for reliable buffer overflow when logging in sometimes.

[stone ivy]

35624 Hotfix 18

• Crash Fixes & Performance Improvements
• Fixed: A issue which was reported on Official Servers where sometimes the game was reporting the character limit was wrong, due to a bug introduced in Hotfix 17 and in some cases prompting users to merge characters.
• We restarted all official servers to apply this fix, if community servers updated to hotfix 17 they will need to update to this patch to fix it.

[stone ivy]

Rolling back to Patch 16

Patch 35624 Hotfix 23

• Fixed: Sign in with Discord and Steam not working on iOS and Android

[stone ivy]

Official Server Stat Changes

These will also be given as curve overrides to be applied to community servers if desired.

Miragaia:

• Increased Tail Attack Damage to 50 (from 35)

Pycnonemosaurus:

• Decreased Max Hunger/Thirst to 400 (from 600)
• Decreased Sub Adult Food/Water Drain to 0.145 (from 0.18)
• Decreased Full Adult Food/Water Drain to 0.145 (from 0.22)
• Improved Headbutt Damage to 45 (from 35)
• Reduced Headbutt Recoil Damage to 20% (from 25%)
• Increased Bite Damage to 40 (from 35)
• Reduced Charge Stamina Cost to 25 (from 40)
• Reduced Juke Cooldown to 8s (from 10)
• Reduced Juke Stamina Cost to 4 (from 5)
• Increased Reflect Damage to 10 (from 4)
• Reduced Horn Swipe Stamina Cost to 2.5 (from 5)
• Increased Deep Breath Stamina Regen to 0.3 (from 0.2)
• Reduced Juggernaut Damage Min to 25% (from 75%)
• Improved Mouthguard Recoil Buff Max to 90% (from 50%)
• Improved Cracked Scutes Replenish Time to 15s (from 30)
• Reduced Trickshot Recoil Damage to 20% (from 25%)
• Improved Knockout Damage to 50 (from 20)
• Improved Knockback of Knockout to 16 (from 8)
• Reduced Knockout Stamina Cost to 0 (from 10)

Dev Note: We have made some changes to Pycnonemosaurus based on community feedback and our own observations. We have adjusted Pycnonemosaurus' food/water values so it's still the same overall drain time but now players need less total food/water to fill up. We have bumped up the damage on several of its attacks, and reduced the stamina cost of some abilities as well. The downtime for several of its abilities, such as waiting for Cracked Scutes to regenerate, or Juke to cooldown, have been reduced as well. We've also decreased the recoil damage of its attacks slightly, and improved Mouthguard to even further reduce recoil damage. Juggernaut is now also less punishing.

Please note that even though we have made the above changes, the current in-game text describing these abilities still use the old original values, and may now be slightly inaccurate. This will be fixed in a future patch.

There are future additional changes we will be making to Pycnonemosaurus in the next full game patch to also meet other community feedback. Some of these changes include giving Pycno a second Back Limb ability slot, and the recoil damage from your own attacks no longer removing your Cracked Scutes stacks. We hope you enjoy these changes, and if you have any feedback be sure to let us know. Thanks!

• NestInvite (when an invite is accepted/denied)
• PlayerJoinNest (when a player is adapted or hatched into the nest)
• UpdateNest (when any resource, health, or available egg slot updates)

Global Ability Changes

Charges:

• Fixed Charge attack hitboxes being inconsistent.

Dev Note: We have adjusted the Charge hitboxes for Pycnonemosaurus, Eotriceratops, Styracosaurus, Albertaceratops, Pachycephalosaurus, and Iguanodon to be more accurate and hit more reliably for players.

All For One:

• Increased Damage boost to 8% (from 3%)
• Added 10% non-stacking Health Recovery boost while in a group
• Now stacks similarly to Family Chorus for Iguanodon and Lambeosaurus
• Updated description

Dev Note: We have improved the utility of All for One and added a secondary effect for those playing in groups that do not consist of other small carnivores. It should now be easier to buff other small carnivores and get stacks of All for One.

Spiked Gathering:

• Added non-stacking 10% Armor boost while in a group
• Updated description

Dev Note: Similar to All for One, we’ve added a secondary effect that helps Miragaia and Kentrosaurus in groups that do not consist of their peers.

Slicer:

• Rebalanced Slicer to work in combat
• Slicer now heals through combat timer
• Increased damage to 20 (from 1)
• Slicer now restores 5 food
• Spawning a meat chunk puts a 60-second timer that prevents the spawning of a new meat chunk
• Updated description

Dev Note: We’ve heard the community speak quite a bit about the Slicer ability for Deinonychus. We have reworked it to better fit within its intended role of helping the Meat Shield playstyle while also adjusting several things following community feedback. Slicer now lets a user heal through combat and does noticeably more damage compared to before in addition to restoring a small amount of food. However, we have added a new timer that prevents users from abusing Slicer meat chunks to self-feed off of another dinosaur infinitely and outheal all incoming damage. We hope players enjoy the updated Slicer.

Second Wind:

• Second Wind no longer restores 2% Stamina per hit
• Second Wind now grants an 8s buff that boosts Stamina Recovery by 50%
• Updated description
• Affects all current dinosaurs with Second Wind

Dev Note: While we intended Second Wind to be very strong for letting dinosaurs restore their stamina during a fight, it was proving to be too effective on certain dinosaurs so we have reworked it to be an over time buff versus instantaneous. This allows us to give this ability out to more dinosaurs in the future and prevent instances where players can run infinitely.

Counter Turn:

• Counter Turn now cooldowns while in combat

Tyrant Roar:

• Tyrant Roar now only stacks up to 3 times
• Reduced Boost per stack to 10% (from 11%)
• Updated description
• This affects Daspletosaurus, Alioramus, and Tyrannosaurus

Tail Attack Knockback:

• Added Tail Knockback to the following dinosaurs; Barsboldia, Allosaurus, Daspletosaurus, Deinocheirus, Spinosaurus, Suchomimus, and Tyrannosaurus.
• Rebalanced Tail Attack Damage and Cooldown Values on the following dinosaurs; Barsboldia, Allosaurus, Daspletosaurus, Deinocheirus, Spinosaurus, Suchomimus, Lambeosaurus, Iguanodon, and Tyrannosaurus.

Dev Note: We are adding Knockback to several of our larger dinosaurs and have lowered their damage values significantly. In addition, they now also have slightly longer cooldowns for some of the dinosaurs. Tail attacks for these dinosaurs are intended to be used for crowd control and positioning so we hope players enjoy how this change shakes up the game’s combat flow.

Strong Legs:

• Improved Knockback Resistance to 60% (from 40%)
• Updated Description

Dev Note: Since Knockback is now more prevalent in the game, we are boosting the Knockback resistance for Strong Legs on all dinosaurs.

Balance Changes

Achillobator:

• Increased Leader of the Pack range to 75 meters
• Increased Strength in Numbers range to 75 meters
• Increased Mob Boss range to 75 meters

Dev Note: We’ve increased the range of Achillobator’s mob boss-related abilities to be noticeably larger so they’re easier to use. Additionally, we have made a fix that allows the Raptor Strikes and Ripping Kick buffs from the last patch to affect community servers fully.

Ceratosaurus:

• Increased Max Health to 700 (from 600)
• Increased Health Recovery Rate to 1.5 (from 1.43)
• Increased Stamina Recovery Rate to 0.7 (from 0.6)
• Decreased Bite Damage to 40 (from 50)
• Decreased Stamina Sprint Cost to 0.7 (from 0.8)
• Decreased Charged Bite Damage to 30 (from 100)
• Decreased Charged Bite Stamina Cost to 7 (from 10)
• Charged Bite now inflicts Fracture
• Increased Thrash Bite Cooldown to 15s (from 8s)
• Improved functionality of Shove

• Removed Scavenger, Resilient Scales, and Slick Scales
• Removed Second Head Slot

• Reduced Tail Attack Damage to 5 (from 30)

• Added Tail Knockback
• Reduced Sprint Stamina Cost to 1.1 (from 1.6)
• Increased Piercing Bite Cooldown to 20s (from 15s)
• Decreased Bone Snap Damage to 20 (from 60)
• Bone Snap Fracture/Bone Break Amount now scales with the Daspletosaurus's growth
• Increased Bone Snap Stamina Cost to 10 (from 5)

Dev Note: Daspletosaurus has received its TLC, and with it the Bone Break Rework. We’ve adjusted several of its abilities based on these new mechanics.

Allosaurus:

• Reduced Tail Attack Damage to 5 (from 30)
• Added Tail Knockback
• Reduced Sprint Stamina Cost to 1.1 (from 1.6)

Official Server Balance Changes

Pycnonemosaurus:

• Knockout Tail Cooldown Increased to 25s (from 3)
  
  Dev Note: The cooldown of Knockout has been increased significantly to try and ensure the attack follows its original design as a niche defensive tool rather than a major offensive one following player feedback.
  
  Styracosaurus:
• Increased Max Health to 700 (from 600)
• Decreased Sprint Speed to 1050 (from 1100)
• Decreased Combat Weight to 2700 (from 3100)
  
  Dev Note: We have adjusted Styracosaurus' sprint speed and its combat weight to make it less oppressive versus other smaller dinosaurs but adjusted the health to keep its survivability relatively the same versus them.
  
  Barsboldia:
• Increased Max Health to 1750 (from 1200)
• Increased Health Recovery Rate to 1.75 (from 1.25)
  
  Dev Note: Improved Barsboldia's health and health recovery stats to better fulfill its tank role.
  
  Lambeosaurus:
• Increased Max Health to 575 (from 525)
• Increased Tail Knockback Force to 12 (from 9)
• Increased Rodeo Kick Knockback to 15 (from 6)
• Decreased Stamina Cost of Rodeo Kick to 7.5 (from 10)
  
  Dev Note: We've improved Lambeosaurus' max health to make using Rodeo Kick less punishing to use when faced with multiple opponents in addition to improving the knockback values on its Tail Attack and Rodeo Kick.
  
  Miragaia:
• Increased Max Health to 650 (from 600)
• Increased Health Recovery Rate to 1.5 (from 1.25)
  
  Dev Note: Improved Miragaia's sustainability in more group oriented fights following feedback from the community versus more agile opponents.
  
  Amargasaurus:
• Increased Max Health to 1000 (from 800)
• Increased Health Recovery Rate to 1.95 (from 1.55)
• Increased Stomp Damage to 120 (from 100)
• Decreased Stomp Stamina Cost to 7.5 (from 10)
• Increased Tail Knockback to 15 (from 8)
  
  Dev Note: We have improved Amargasaurus' survivability following the sprint stomp exploit being fixed and player feedback with a health buff and health recovery buff that let it sustain itself better. The stomp itself has been improved so it deals more damage and use less stamina now. In addition to the improved knockback to give Amargasaurus more room to adjust for its stomp or escape larger foes.
  
  Iguanodon:
• Increased Max Health to 850 (from 750)
• Increased Health Recovery Rate 1.6 (from 1.4)
• Reduced Charge Cost to 5 (from 15)
• Reduced Charge Cooldown to 10s (from 30)
• Adjusted Tail Knockback Value
  
  Dev Note: Fixed an issue where Iguanodon's tail attack was applying incorrect knockback. Iguanodon was applying 600% more knockback than intended and we have adjusted the knockback accordingly. It will be fully fixed in the next main game patch. We have improved Charge's usability to let it act better as a distance closer for Iguanodon and improved its health to give it more sustainability in group oriented fights.

Patch Deployment

Please note that it will take some time (3-4 hours) for the changes to roll out to the servers as they restart.
Balance changes are on Official Only and can be applied to community servers via provided curve overrides in server updates channel under Server Owner Discord Role.

Known Issue: Mobile Texture Bug

There is a known bug with iOS / Android on the latest patch having lower quality textures then expected, we will be fixing it in a update shortly.

<@&630630043105624095> <@&630630022721306634>

[stone ivy]

Patch 37200 Hotfix 22

• Crash Fixes & Performance Improvements

Mobile:

• Last patch had a bug that had reduced textures like Character textures, this has been fixed and character textures have been increased back to their normal rate.
  Developer Note: We have some more improvements coming to changes in the future which will allow users to have a option to download higher resolution textures which can be used on high end phones with a lot of RAM.
  Users with less ram will save some storage space by not having all the high resolution textures downloaded.

Server Owner/Admin Nesting Commands

• Added /CheckNest [username], supports RCON and gives your own or provided user's nest information
• Renamed /DestroyThisNest command to /DestroyNearbyNest
• Added /CheckNearbyNest command that gives nest information of the nearest nest from the player
  Developer Note: We have improved our nesting commands based upon some community server feedback.

PlayStation 4 / 5 Patch (37200 Hotfix 22)

• We are releasing hotfix 22 for PlayStation now, there is some minor bug fixes.
• For PS4 we increased the internal storage accessible by the game by from 1 GB to 5 GB for the first section accessible by the game. This section is used for Content Patches, Replays and other data. Mod storage is unchanged.
• There is a known bug with the storage viewer showing used storage as negative, we will address this in a future update. No need to report this bug since its known.
• There is no additional content with this patch just bug fixes.

[stone ivy]

Patch 37200 Hotfix 23

Important: Changes to game max supported character limit for Community Servers:

• Changed: The maximum officially supported character limit on all Community servers is now 50. This change was made due to a number of community servers previously setting the maximum character limit to a very high number, which could break players from being able to login and play on that server. Servers that previously had a character limit higher then 50 will now be clamped to 50. We understand the community need to have a large amount of characters, especially when playing with modded creatures, however the game in its current state is not designed to scale well with this many characters. For community servers, we recommend server owners picking a selection of mods that work well with your server's intended playstyle. If a community server would like to expand, it is suggested they host a second server with a different set of mods.
• We plan on updating the game to better support handling a higher number of saved characters in the future. When this happens, we will expand the character limit.

Mobile (iOS / Android):

• We have applied more fixes for low resolution character textures. Textures should no longer have blurry fine details on dinosaur skins and on certain detailed character textures. Please keep in mind that some mod creatures may need to be updated by the mod author to be able to support the new higher resolution textures to take full advantage of this fix.

• There is no additional content with this patch, just bug fixes.

[stone ivy]

Hotpatch rolling out for 32700 Hotfix 23

• We currently have a hotpatch rolling out which includes a large number of art fixes and performance fixes for Gondwa and Panjura such as issues in the last major patch like problems with textures and trees.
• Updated a large number of foliage and rock assets to improve performance and fix a handful of issues. There should be little visual difference between previous patches.
• Please note that some users may have issues joining servers and may need to restart their game and have servers restart for the patch to fully apply
• There is no additional content with this patch

Known Issues:

• A small amount of rocks on Gondwa have stretched textures
• A few of boulders and logs on Gondwa are covered in excessive moss
• On high settings, some foliage will be affected by wind, while other foliage will not be affected by wind
  Both of these will be fixed in an upcoming game patch. Thank you for understanding.

Tyrannotitan Released!

Introducing the Tyrannotitan, a massive bloodthirsty predator from the early Cretaceous period. This carnivore rivals even Tyrannosaurus and Spinosaurus in size, and is one of the most powerful dinosaurs in the Path of Titans roster.

Tyrannotitan is our 'mobile' colossal predator, using bleed and attrition to bring down its prey. It can weaken its opponent's ability to heal, and uses its fairly nimble maneuvering to dodge incoming attacks.

Read on, or watch our latest video for all the details!
https://pathoftitans.com/blog/tyrannotitan-released/
https://youtu.be/d6cjwMXCcwM

We're excited to release Tyrannotitan earlier than originally planned as it was originally scheduled for after the full game launch. We knew having the "Titan" in "Path of Titans" was a must-have. This content was originally intended to be purchased separately in a bundle, however due to community feedback we have decided to make it included for free if you already own the "All Base Game Dinosaurs" pack. This also includes the Tyrannotitan Backer skin also being included for free in the "All Backer Skins" bundle.

If you purchased the bundle for full-price while it was for sale, you can request a refund through Alderon Games support. This can either be refunded to a Path of Tians coin balance, or payment method depending on what is possible. However, if you would like to keep your bundle, we plan on turning the pack into a skin bundle with 2 additional skins instead, so it is more in line with our other skin packs. We will be making a follow up post very soon with more information about the skins for this bundle that will be included with the next hotpatch.

I apologize for the miscommunication around this launch, and we have made changes based upon community feedback. We will announce our future goals on how we plan on handling our post release content, but for now, instead let's enjoy this new dinosaur, and we will focus on releasing the remaining planned dinosaurs and dinosaur TLCs as among our highest priorities.

@everyone <@&630633464475156482>

[stone ivy]

Character Limit Increase + Crash Investigation

• We just increased the character limit on official servers by 1 for the new dino. It will be applied when the servers restart next.
• We have found a server crash caused by a new dinosaur ability, we are working on a fix for it now.

Thanks for the support!

[stone ivy]

Patch 37200 Hotfix 24

• Fixed: Server crashes caused by certain Tyrannotitan abilities.

[stone ivy]

<@&630633464475156482> The Crash fix is now live, it will take some time for servers to restart

[stone ivy]

Tyrannotitan Hotpatch

• We are releasing a hotpatch with a number of bug fixes for Tyrannotitan shortly. Please keep in mind it may take some time for all the servers to update to the new version and some servers might not be joinable until they update

[stone ivy]

Patch 37200 Hotfix 25

Playstation Patch

• Rolling out now
• We are currently attempting to fix a issue with some users being unable to play the game due to the game bootup hotpatch downloading process not working for users with bad wifi. This is a possible fix.
• If we can confirm the fix works we will roll it out to more platforms

<@&630630196793573386>

[stone ivy]

Patch 37200 Hotfix 26

Released Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Android (Google Play), iOS, Xbox One / Xbox Series

• This is a follow up fix from last patch, we identified the issue is still happening and are trying a different fix.
• Users get the error "Installation directory is corrupt (error code 4) while booting the game and installing the inital patches. This is happening on all platforms for users with slow internet connection.

[stone ivy]

<@&630630196793573386> I can confirm the users with slow internet having that error 4 as mentioned in the changelog above is fixed and working. We will now work on rolling it out to more platforms.

[frail wolf]

Bloodthirsty Tyrannotitan Skin Pack Update:

We wanted to follow up regarding the feedback from yesterday. The Bloodsoaked Tyrannotitan Bundle has now been adjusted to include 2 additional skins for the Tyrannotitan: Ember and Smolder. All owners of the bundle before these two skins were added have automatically received these skins for free. <@&630633464475156482>

Pachycephalosaurus TLC Now Out!

Pachycephalosaurus now takes advantage of new bone-shattering mechanics with the recently updated bone break system! Restart your game to play it now.

This will be the final game update of 2024, and we will definitely be posting a follow-up in early January! We’ll see you in the next update, and hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

HAPPY NEW YEARS! @everyone

https://pathoftitans.com/blog/pachycephalosaurus-tlc-released/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gfsYDiNgfQ

[stone ivy]

Balance Changes (Official Servers)

Pachycephalosaurus:

• Reduced Max Health to 450 (from 550)
• Adjusted Kickboxer to use intended value of 2x (from 3x)
• Increased Dodge Stamina Cost to 5 (from 0)
• Increased Dodge Cooldown to 8 (from 5)

Dev Note: We have adjusted Pachycephalosaurus' health to account for its newly added Fracture and Dazed effects and increased the costs of Dodge to prevent it being used as a pursuit tool. Fixed Kickboxer using the wrong multiplier and the description will be updated in the next full game patch.

Please note that these changes will be optionally provided to community servers as curve overrides if they want to apply it to their server.
Official Servers may take time to apply these fixes as they restart

[stone ivy]

Patch 37200 Hotfix 30

Platforms: Xbox One / Xbox Series (Other platforms to follow)

• Crash Fixes & Performance Improvements
• Fixed: Camera is offset while on the 'Waiting for Character Data to load' screens.
• Fixed: Unknown Error code when attempting to login in some cases.

Community Server Owners:

• Improved: Server Performance when mods are disabled but still exist in the database including reduced error spam. Errors should only be logged once and attempts to load these assets won't happen again.
• Reduced Server Lagg when ability assets are loaded and added logging when this slow down occurs.
• Performance Optimizations for Spawning in Characters for servers.
• Fixed: GetOwnedDecoration log spam
• Moved Restricted Character loading code earlier so it will block characters before deserialization which should result in a server performance improvement if the AllowedCharacter list is used in Game.ini for server databases that have a lot of mods that are no longer enabled.
  If you want to take advantage of this improvement set the allowed list of characters on your server to be the characters you want available. Even if this is just listing all of the currently released ones and mods that are enabled.
  This will make the server not have a huge performance impact loading characters that are for mods that are not enabled.

[stone ivy]

Patch 37200 Hotfix 32

A few community servers had a issue last night with a insecure admin / rcon password used for running commands on the server. While there is no bugs or problems in the game or platform that caused this, we are making proactive and preventative changes to RCON to help community server owners.

Community Server Owners

Minimum password length requirement:

• Rcon passwords are now required to be at least 8 characters long for Rcon to remain enabled, however we recommend using a password at least 16 characters or longer.

Improved: Rcon Logging

• Command Execution Attempts and Auth Attempts are now logged with the IP attempting to connect to Rcon.

New: Server Webhook:

• SecurityAlert which will be called by the server when important secruity events happen to help with server administration. We will use this in the future as a notifier to help servers block unauthorized attempts at the edge such as a firewall.

New: RCON IP Allow List

• Add allow lists to RCON to restrict accepted IP addresses. It is strongly reccomended to use this to ensure RCON is secure.
  Game.ini

[SourceRCON]
IPAllowList=192.168.1.1
IPAllowList=192.168.1.2

These are example IPs, please replace them with the IPs you would want to allow RCON connections, for example a third party RCON Bot.

Secure Rcon Password Reminder

This is a reminder to all community server owners that if you use RCON please do the following:

• Make sure you use a secure RCON password that only you have access to and limit who needs access
• Make sure the password is regularly changed eg once a month
• Make sure you use letters, numbers, symbols, lower case and upper case letters
• Avoid personal information, common words, or predictable sequences in your passwords.
• Please aim for 16 characters or higher if possible

If an admin or staff member accidentally posts the password because you have shared it with them. They can connect to your server with RCON and run any commands. It's necessary to do the proper security and rotating of these RCON passwords.

So far the community server cheating incidents are caused by insecure RCON password and other related changes. There are no problems with the game or Alderon Games Platform itself. If your community server is having issues with cheating please reach out so we can help you. Please be ready to provide a Game.ini and PathOfTItans.log file so we can help you with your server if you are having issues.

<@&922768313698902056>

If you are a server owner please grab the server owner role from #role-setup and join the new server owner channels to get help and support here. If you need help we have developers free to help with support and server issues you have.

PlayStation Virtual Currency Issue / Ban Issue

There is a issue currently happening with PlayStations purchase / refund system and how it interacts with our game. This resulted in some users being unable to login. We are working on rolling out a fix currently.

1. We have a fix rolling out which will fix the login / ban issues. (This is live and fixed)
2. We have a second fix that we will work on after which will help resolve the negative currency issues. (We are working on this, it may take a few days to solve)

[stone ivy]

<@&630630196793573386> We have a fix for issue 1 online now, so you should be able to login and access multiplayer. For fixing the second issue for currency balance we will take a few days to fix this. We will post an announcement when the fix is up.

Patch 39681

Released Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Android (Google Play), iOS, Xbox One / Xbox Series

• Unfortunately, Switch will be slightly delayed in receiving this patch due to complications. We will keep you updated with the patch approval process.
• Please note that it may take a few hours for this patch to roll out to all platforms, and may not show up right away.
• Not all mods may be updated yet for this patch. We will work with mod authors to ensure they can be updated as soon as possible, however this may still take a few days. We appreciate your patience!

New Feature: Locations that have a large number of players are shown with warning indicator on the map

• This feature is intended to help players and solo players avoid large groups of players and know which areas are risky to enter.

Critter Improvements:

• New Critter: Pamelaria will now spawn.
• Critter Growth: Critters now have a chance to spawn at different growth stages. Baby critters are slower, smaller, and weaker, and their corpses provide less food. Baby critters are less common, and adult/sub-adult critters are more common.
• There is now a rare chance for an Alpha critter to spawn. Alpha critters are larger, have more health, are faster, and deal more damage than regular critters. Alpha critters corpses provide significantly more food than regular critters.
• Critter Footsteps: Critter footstep sounds now take into account the terrain type they are walking on, such as dirt, grass, rock, etc.
• Added many additional critter skins.
• All critters now have a unique baby skin and alpha skin so it's clear to the player if the critter is dangerous or not at a distance.
• Updated critter footstep sounds to be less loud.
• Critters now have better turn in place animations.
• Added growth sound adjustments to all critter sounds. They are now higher pitched when a baby, and lower pitched when an alpha.
• Added blue blood to scorpion and horseshoe crab. They do not provide blue meat chunks at this time.
• Didelphodon, Palaeosaniwa, and Frog can now attack players if they are small enough.
• Critters now will spawn depending on the time of day. For example, some critters will only spawn at night, or during the morning.
• Made Silesaurus not so talkative.
• Added sounds to frog critter's attack.
• Critter melee attack distance improvements.
• Fix Centrochelys meat chunk not holding the correct amount of food within it
• Adjusted critter behavior so they no longer dig away when unable to reach the player

Audio Improvements:

• Footstep Updates: Footsteps now have completely different sounds, audible distances, and have distant thumping effects depending on your creature's weight and growth stage.
• Fixed water splashing sound being too loud and heard from large distances.
• Reduced volume for bone break sounds, as they were audible from far distances.

General Fixes:

• Upgraded to Unreal Engine version 5.5 (from version 5.3)
• Grass on Panjura and Gondwa has been updated.
• Wind effects now should affect nearly every piece of foliage when playing on high settings. Wind breeze animations slightly adjusted.
• Fixed combat music not always playing
• Updated the ambient audio that plays in each biome. Ambient audio sounds will now change depending on the area the player is in.
• Fixed Ability Descriptions Appearing on Side of Screen when at low framerate
• Fixed Pack Hunter ability buff remains active when no Deinonychus remain in the group
• Fixed a Mobile Hud Editor button resizing error
• Fixed Buttons In Mobile HUD Editor Move When Tapped
• Fixed Dinosaur Calls Cutting Out or not Playing in the Character Creation Screen

• Fixed an issue where players were able to delete their dinosaur by typing any name instead of specifically that character's name.
• Fixed an issue where your character could begin auto-running while holding down the auto-collect button on controllers.
• Set up ambient environmental sounds to have distinguishing day and night sounds.
• Added swamp ambient zones on Gondwa and Panjura.
• Bug fixes to skin validation for glitched skins using unsupported colors.
• Fixes to the replay system preventing the player's camera from being moved/piloted.
• Fixed an edge case where biting when picking up a trophy resulted in the trophy disappearing.
• Made precise movement "sticky" while transitioning between water and land while holding precise movement key, meaning it the player will remain in precise movement mode when transitioning between land and water to make it easier to quickly move between them.
• Fixed Sitting and Sleeping State Damage Modifiers Not Applying Properly. Now, getting up from sitting or sleeping will properly make the player vulnerable for a short duration.
• Fixed Dinosaur emote and attack sounds effects cutting out suddenly.
• Fix to footstep particle effects flickering on certain platforms.
• Fixed Dinosaur emotes on the store screen not playing audio properly.
• Fix for Kentrosaurus puncture spikes sometimes visually detaching too early.
• Improved the particle effects that play during storms.
• Added bird effects that fly overhead.
• Fixed an issue where, rarely, fog would not render properly when leaving the water.
• Updated the UI for the replay menu to use a new framework. There shouldn't be many, if any, visual differences.

• Fixed Solid Frame causing the player's health bar to not display it's value accurately when viewed on a group nametag.

Known Issue:

• Many rocks around Gondwa have different textures now, such as mossy rocks now having mud on top, or sandy rocks now being bare. This is a known issue, and will be adjusted at a later date.

Combat Changes:

All Dinosaurs:

• Adjusted the running speed and stamina drain rates of Juvenile, Adolescent, and Sub-Adult growth stages to generally speed them up and provide more stamina to allow young dinosaurs to better travel the map and escape danger. This affects each species differently.
• Charge and Stomp for many dinosaurs are no longer interrupted by knockback attacks. To account for this, we have slightly reduced their damage for the majority of them.

We have some new features we want to test on the regular Official servers like the high density player indicator on the map, which will help solo players avoid large groups.

Thanks so much for your support.

Dev Note about Stat Changes

Some dinosaurs stat changes and abilities have been changed in this patch in a way that might seem confusing. We just wanted to let everyone know that there are many dinosaurs that will be getting their TLCs very soon, and to just hold on for a bit until they are rolled out. If you are unhappy with any stat changes, we suggest playing a different dinosaur until they are fully updated.

Patch Stability & Bugs

As this patch is a major engine upgrade from 5.3 to 5.5 please expect a lot of bugs and problems. We will be working on fixing these as soon as possible.
There might be more crashes or issues then normal. Please keep in mind these crashes are automatically reported and the team is aware and on them.

Known Issue: Replay Recording

Replay recording in some cases is causing some users to fall through the map, we are going to disable replays for the time being until we fix this. Please avoid using the replay feature, especially on Xbox or PlayStation <@&630630162597281792> <@&630630196793573386>

Known Issue: Sign in with Apple not working

We are working on fixing this ASAP <@&630630043105624095>

• Fixed: Splat Map not working properly which caused various areas of the landscape to be missing texture detail eg rainbow hills.
• Fixes to Wound and Scar textures based upon community feedback.
• Fixed: Mobile HUD Editor Layouts are not correctly hiding buttons when logging in and out.

Status Update on PS4 and Mobile, Apple Sign in

PS4: A fix for this has been rolled out ✅ We found out the bug in sony's tools was also the reason why mods are broken and why so many crashes are happening, we are working on trying to fix it however its really complicated and may take a bit. We have a number of ideas we want to try to work around the bug. We are also reporting the bug to sony in hopes they fix it.

Apple Sign In: We are still working on making a patch to send to apple and test in it.

Mobile:
We found a number of engines mod missing when we upgraded from unreal 5.3 to 5.5 which results in worse performance and more memory usage which is causing increased crashes. We are reapplying these mods and when they are done we should have a stable build.

Thanks for your continued patience and support.

Official Server Stat Changes

Curve overrides will be provided to community to adopt these changes in the server owner channels.

Concavenator:

• Increased Max Health to 575 (from 475)
• Decreased Health Recovery Rate to 1.4 (from 1.75)
• Decreased Claw Bleed Amount to 0.4 (from 1)
• Decreased Ripping Kick Bleed Amount to 0.4 (from 1)
• Adjusted Growth Scaling of Bleed Amount for both Claw Attack and Ripping Kick

Dev Note: We have redistributed Concavenator's stats to both make it less frustrating to play as and to play against. We found that players were often too heavily punished for getting hit as Concavenator in conjunction with it also being very oppressive towards slower bigger dinosaurs. We hope that this resolves both of these issues.

Metriacanthosaurus:

• Reduced Group Heal Call Multiplier to 2 (from 5)
• Increased Group Heal Call Duration to 120 seconds (from 40)
• Reduced Solo Heal Call Multiplier to 4 (from 8)
• Increased Solo Heal Call Duration to 60 seconds (from 25)

Dev Note: We have rebalanced the heal calls for Metriacanthosaurus to encourage less aggressive use of them. The calls are both now longer and heal less health per second than before. The longer duration nets you more health gained overall.

Amargasaurus:

• Increased Headbutt Cooldown to 2.5 seconds (from 1.5)
• Increased Stomp Cooldown to 30 seconds (from 5)

Dev Note: While we are glad to see that Amargasaurus is able to defend itself better now against larger opponents, we have observed that it is able to leverage this newfound bulk aggressively too easily which is not intended. We have increased the cooldowns of both its Headbutt and Stomp to encourage more defensive gameplay and positioning.

Lambeosaurus:

• Reduced Group Heal Call Multiplier to 2 (from 5)
• Increased Group Heal Call Duration to 120 seconds (from 40)
• Reduced Solo Heal Call Multiplier to 4 (from 8)
• Increased Solo Heal Call Duration to 60 seconds (from 25)
• Increased Call to Arms Stamina Cost to 20 (from 10)
• Increased Rallying Horn Stamina Cost to 20 (from 10)

Dev Note: Lambeosaurus is receiving the same healing call adjustments as Metriacanthosaurus. Additionally, we have increased the stamina costs of its combat calls making it so using all three in a fight is a bigger commitment following the buffs Lambeosaurus received recently.

A Note for Switch Players:

Please note that the Nintendo Switch platform has not yet received this game patch, and will not be able to access the Tyrannosaurus TLC. We are working with Nintendo to get the patch approved as fast as possible. Thank you for your understanding, and we will keep you updated as soon as it's live. We want to remind Nintendo Switch players that they are able to also access the game for free on mobile and PC by logging in with the same Alderon Games account that owns their Nintendo Switch copy. Both mobile and PC have access to the Tyrannosaurus TLC. <@&630630225436213259>

Alderon Games Launcher Update v1.2.0

We have released a new launcher version.
It's been a long time since we have updated our launcher and we have done a lot of changes under the hood so there is a chance that things will break.

New Features:

• We have added a few new options to the gear icon on the bottom right
  • Open Game Logs
  • Create Desktop Shortcut (Windows and Linux only)
  • Add to Steam as a non-steam game (SteamOS only)
  • Reset game settings
• When installing the game the launcher will now check if there is enough disk space available
• Added Vulkan to the render options in settings (Windows only)

Fixes:

• Fixed memory leaks that would occur if you input too many characters in some fields
• Updated our icons
• Support has been added for fail-over to a different CDN when experiencing connection issues.
• Fixed a permission error when the launcher ran as administrator
• More behind the scenes bug fixes and performance improvements
• The launcher now follows the release channel you have configured.
• The updater not working correctly for .Deb and .Rpm installed versions.

Linux

For Linux Users Only

• Due to ongoing technical development we have unfortunately made the decision to drop support for Ubuntu 20.04.
  This is because 20.04 doesn't support newer encryption libraries which we have started using to ensure the launcher is more secure.
• There is a chance if you installed the launcher through our .deb or .rpm installer that you will be permanently stuck on the updating window.
  To resolve this please uninstall the current version of the launcher and manually reinstall the new version, this is a bug that has been fixed in this version.
• Note: Shortcut on Linux feature won't have automatic login yet, we plan on adding this in the future.

Steam Deck / Steam OS

For Steam Deck / Steam OS Users Only
We encourage you to use the flatpak to install the launcher. Please see: https://alderongames.com/install-steam-deck for additional information on how to install this version.
If you have already installed this version you would need to uninstall the current installed version and then install the new version manually, we are working on eventually having this be done without manually reinstalling.
Additionally you won't have to manually add the game to steam anymore there is now an option through our launcher to do that, just press the wheel icon on the bottom right and the Add to Steam will appear.
If you install the game fresh this will be done automatically.

Help with Launcher Issues

I you are having issues with the launcher please go to the #1150510168073850971 and create a thread over there so we can assist you as well as possible, or report the bug through the launcher by clicking on report a bug at the top of the launcher.

• Possible fix to some users not being able to login.

Updates Delayed on Nintendo Switch

We want to share some transparency around ongoing issues with patch updates for Path of Titans on Nintendo Switch.

While we aim to keep all platforms up to date simultaneously, the Nintendo Switch version has consistently lagged behind—not due to a lack of effort or care on our part, but because of the extremely long and rigid approval process imposed by Nintendo.

Despite submitting patches early and on time, the Nintendo certification process can take anywhere from 30 to 60 days (or longer) to approve a single update—even if it’s a critical bug fix. In contrast, we can patch platforms like Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, PlayStation, and Xbox within a few hours, or at most, 1–2 days.

To give some perspective:

• Nintendo Switch: 13 total patches since launch
• PlayStation & Other Platforms: Over 200 updates in the same timeframe

These delays are particularly challenging because Path of Titans is a live-service, cross-platform game with modding support, and we rely heavily on fast iteration and community feedback to improve the experience for everyone. Unfortunately, this development model is not compatible with Nintendo’s current patch approval timeline.

We've also had patch submissions rejected for non-functional or minor issues, including:

• A word in a quest not being translated, even though it doesn’t impact game play

• Dinosaur species names flagged for not being translated, despite being proper nouns

• A small text error (unchanged since 2022) flagged and reported for the first time

• Disagreements over how much data the game writes to support mods

The process has also become more restrictive over time, with changes seemingly aimed at encouraging us to remove mod support from the Switch version—something we’re not willing to do, as we believe it’s a core part of the game.

These types of rejections not only delay updates, but also slow down overall development, as even two identical patch submissions would be forced through the same 30–60 day timeline.

Worse, the certification process does not catch major technical issues. If a serious problem is missed and makes it into a release, it could leave players with a broken game for up to two months, with no way for us to fix it until a new patch is submitted and approved.

This also slows down critical feature rollouts—like our Dino TLC updates—which depend on quick iteration and player feedback. The faster we can patch, the faster we can incorporate your suggestions into the game.

What We're Doing

We’re doing everything we can to work within Nintendo’s system, including:

• Submitting updates as early as possible

• Bundling multiple improvements into fewer, larger Switch updates

• Advocating for better support for live-service titles through official Nintendo channels

We’ve been trying to improve this situation with Nintendo since 2022, but so far there has been no progress on making the process more viable for modern live-service games. We’re still trying, but we want to be transparent with you about why these updates are taking so long.

Looking Ahead: Concerns About Switch 2

We also want to share our concerns about the upcoming Switch 2. Since the Path of Titans does not yet have a proper Switch 2 version released, it would instead run Path of Titans in backward compatibility mode with Switch 1. Not all Switch 1 games are guaranteed to work. Most games are still untested, and Nintendo has not yet released tools to allow developers to prepare their games.

It’s expected to take 6–12 months before we can confirm compatibility and fix any potential issues. For example, if Path of Titans crashes on startup when run in backwards compatibility mode on Switch 2, we would not be able to patch it or investigate the issue until we receive the tools—and even then, we would still face the same 30–60 day approval process before we could get the fix into Switch 2 players hands.

If you were considering purchasing a Switch 2 specifically to play Path of Titans, we recommend holding off until we can confirm support.

Players who own the game on Switch can access the game on PC and Mobile for free.

You can just login with your existing Alderon Games Account.

Thank You for Your Patience

We understand how frustrating this is—especially when players on other platforms are enjoying regular updates and new features. We are deeply grateful for the support and patience of our Switch community, and we’ll continue doing everything we can to improve your experience.

If you're encountering issues that have already been fixed on other platforms, please know that the patch is likely already in Nintendo’s hands—we're just waiting for approval to release it.

Thank you for being part of the Path of Titans community. 🦕

Patch 39681 Hotfix 46

Available on: Windows, Mac, Linux, Android (Google Play), PS4, PS5

• Fixed several crashes to improve stability.
• Resolved an issue where some players couldn't join servers with Server Queue from the Main Menu.
• Fixed: Bug related to downloads and mod downloads where it would get stuck or stay on queued. This would lead to problems joining servers.
• Fixes to Server Queue feature.

📱 Important Update: Device Support Changes (Android)

Since the upgrade to Unreal Engine 5.5 some Android devices are no longer supported.

We worked hard to keep support for as many devices as possible, but Unreal Engine 5.5 simply doesn’t support certain hardware and GPU drivers, especially on Android 10 and some older chipsets.
Most of these Android devices that are no longer supported have been abandoned by the manufacturer and no longer getting GPU Driver and security updates.
If you’re affected, we’re really sorry — we know this is frustrating, and we truly appreciate your time and support with the game.

You may now see warnings in-game if:

• Your device uses an unsupported GPU for Unreal Engine 5.5.
• You’re running Android 10, which can cause performance and driver-related issues.
• We strongly recommend Android 11 or newer for the best experience. However some devices won't receive updates if they are too old.

✅ Updated Android Requirements

• Android Version: Android 10 (2019) (minimum), Android 11+ (2020) recommended
• CPU: 64-bit Arm-based
  Compatible GPUs:
• Mali T8xx, G68, G71, G72, G76, G77, G78, G7xx or higher
• Adreno 5xx, 6xx, 7xx or higher
• PowerVR GM9xxx or higher
• Samsung Xclipse 9xx or higher

Note:
Adreno 610-619 GPUs are extremely slow and may not run the game at a stable framerate or function. The game will show a warning when using this. For example Adreno 620-630 is 5x faster.

These warnings however won't prevent you from still attempting to play the game. So if you are not having issues they can be ignored.

Graphics APIs:

• OpenGL ES 3.2
• Vulkan 1.1 (on supported devices)

Thank you for your continued support as we push the game forward with new tech and features!
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our support team.

Potential Delay with Upcoming Nintendo Switch Patch

We wanted to give you a heads up that we’ve encountered some issues with Nintendo’s SDK tools, which are currently not functioning properly. Unfortunately, this is preventing us from pushing updates to the Switch version of the game for the time being, and it's something outside of our control.

Working with Nintendo has been extremely challenging. In the past, we've experienced problems where a broken Switch firmware update introduced on their end was incorrectly blamed on game, causing delays in patch approvals despite it not being our fault.

As of now, the game is still in sync, but when the next major update or Dino TLC is released, the Switch version will likely fall out of sync temporarily. The game will still be playable, just without cross play for a period of time.

We’re not sure how long it will take for the issue to be resolved, but we’ll keep you posted. Thanks for your patience and understanding. <@&630630225436213259>

Patch Rolling Out

We are going to be rolling out a major Engine Upgrade Patch to Unreal 5.6
This will be a long process and may take a few hours. Some mods won't be updated yet for the new engine.

We expect a lot of issues, things to break and take some time to work though all the issues. As with any major engine upgrade.

Game may not be playable for some users until everything is updated.

We will post patch notes when everything is working

[stone ivy]

Patch 42069

Major Engine Upgrade

Since we have upgraded to Unreal Engine 5.6. There may be major bugs or problems or issues that make the game unplayable for some users.
With any engine upgrade there are millions of lines of code changed and could be new bugs or problems. Please allow for some time for the issues to get reported and fixed.
This may take 2-4 weeks. We will be monitoring the patch after it goes up for these problems. You may need to upgrade your graphics drivers to be able to launch the game.

Mods and Community Servers will be outdated

They will take some time to update. Some may run into crashes or issues that need time to work out.

New Bugtracker Site

We’re excited to announce that we've launched a new and improved Bug Tracker:
➡️ https://bugtracker.alderongames.com/

This will now be the official and best place to submit all bug reports going forward. Here’s why this is a big upgrade:

Why the New Bug Tracker?

Permanent Reports – Your bug reports won’t get lost over time. They stay up until resolved.

Better Tracking – We can now track issues more efficiently.

Community Upvoting – See an issue that affects you too? Upvote it! This helps us prioritize popular bugs and bring more visibility to them.

Bug Tracker Skins – Awarding bug reporting skins is now simple. Players will submit bugs after logging in to their Alderon Games account so rewarding players for submitting bugs is easier.

Important Changes

• Our old bug reporting methods (Discord and GitHub) will be shut down and made read-only soon.
• Please do not submit bugs via Discord or GitHub anymore, use the link above instead.

Existing bugs in the Discord Forum do not need to be resubmitted to the new site. We will be keeping an archive of the Discord Forum so we can go through them all.

We appreciate all the help from the community in making Path of Titans better. Please note that the site may have a few issues and improvements done over time.

[stone ivy]

**The new site will have some bugs which we will try fix in the next few days ideally tommrow. You can talk about problems with the bugtracker site here: ** #1399899289794117825 message

Patch 42069 Hotfix 8

Platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux, Xbox One, Xbox Series, PS4, PS5

• Crash Fixes / Performance Improvements
• Fixes for Vulkan / Linux / SteamOS Memory Leaks. There is still a minor memory leak, however it has been reduced.
• Added Workaround for Vulkan VSync Crash. VSync will be force enabled for Linux until we figure out a long term solution.

Update on Supported macOS Versions

As of Unreal Engine 5.6, Path of Titans now requires macOS Sonoma (version 14 or later) to run.

We are currently investigating whether it’s possible to support older macOS versions. However, it appears that Epic Games has introduced changes in the engine that rely on macOS Sonoma functionality.

While a workaround may become possible in the future, at this time we have not yet found a viable solution for earlier macOS versions.

We’ll share updates as we learn more <@&630630095085895710>

Patch 42433

Platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, Xbox One / Xbox Series / PS4 / PS5
Switch does not have the update yet it is waiting approval by Nintendo unfortunately.

New Features:

Spinosaurus TLC

• Spinosaurus has received it's TLC pass, including a new model, textures, and completely new animations.
• It now features a completely new set of abilities, and has had some modifications to its stats.
• It has also received a number of skin updates to bring them to a higher quality standard.

Sprint Indicator:

The small footprint icon on the stamina bar will now flash white when players are sprinting, to make it more obvious to distinguish what movement state you're in.

Critter Improvements:

• Improved Critter performance on servers.
• Improved Critter attack hitboxes.

Audio Improvements:

• Added Distant Calls to Allosaurus, Amargasaurus, Iguanodon, Pycnonemosaurus, Stegosaurus, and Suchomimus.
• Fixed Combat Music not playing underwater.

Map Improvements:

• Fixed some volcano rocks lacking collision.
• Additional map optimizations to Gondwa.
• Updated Panjura waystone locations to be flatter to fix players sometimes dying upon being spawned in from a waystone.

General Fixes:

• Fixed instances where some abilities were still active during sleeping state.
• Fixed Animation Quality Settings not applying properly when joining a new server.
• Players are now able to drop items while running.
• Improved the visual effects of Bright Sail and Bright Crest to give them a more red appearance that better blends into the underlying skin pattern.
• Fixed Slipstream VFX not showing consistently on all devices.
• Fixed Rain Effects missing in Replays while not following a player.
• Swim particle fixes for some water planes.
• Fixed Tyrannosaurus second passive slot not displaying properly.
• Fixed Shockwave not updating VFX properly for Barsboldia and Anodontosaurus.
• Optimizations to ground crawler particle effects.

Combat Changes:

Dazed:
Dazed Immunity has been updated to now last 40 seconds instead of 20.

Group Size:
We’ve increased the maximum group size from 10 to 12 total slots, allowing for greater flexibility when playing in groups. We’re excited to see what kind of new group combinations players come up with!

Bleed Heal Buffs/Debuffs:
We’ve adjusted the effectiveness of most bleed heal-related abilities. Buffs like Resilient Scales have had their effects reduced, while debuffs like Puncture now have shorter durations. These changes aim to prevent situations where players feel forced to run status-healing hides just to counter groups stacking bleed debuffs.

Combat Timer:
Alongside group size changes, we’re also updating how the combat timer functions in group settings. It’s been common for players to leave groups mid-combat to maximize healing, while those getting attacked by multiple opponents have little chance to recover unless using abilities like Healing Call. With this update, players on both sides will now be able to naturally regenerate health in combat at a reduced rate. Note: Bleed effects will still prevent healing during combat unless abilities like Tyrannosaurus' Ravenous are used.

Large Dinosaur Rebalance:
We have made adjustments to the stats of many of the largest dinosaurs on our roster to generally reduce their base stats but improved the effectiveness of their attacks and passive abilities, such as increased running stamina, tail attack damage, and stamina recovery. This was done to help bridge the power gap between medium-sized dinosaurs like Daspletosaurus and Miragaia when compared to our largest dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus and Eotriceratops.

Previously, 5-slot dinosaurs acted like stat walls thanks to their high health pools and combat weight values that were completely unapproachable by most smaller slot-sized dinosaurs such as Anodontosaurus or Amargasaurus, who in turn had their stats boosted to compete, and ultimately resulted in numbers slowly scaling to unmanageable levels for many other dinosaurs. With this change, all dinosaurs stats are now balanced on a more reasonable level on both the high end and low end, making future balancing more consistent.

While the largest dinosaurs still retain their high weight values that boost both their health and damage outputs, they no longer have such a drastic health boost over their smaller peers. Their weight still ensures they deal respectable damage to lighter dinosaurs and receive less damage from them, further boosted by their passive armor they now have. We will be monitoring general performance and making further adjustments to the larger dinosaurs' kits as need be.

Toxin:
The healing rates of Toxin while resting and sleeping has been increased across the board for all dinosaurs to be faster in these states whereas previously there was no benefit to sitting or sleeping to heal Toxin faster.

Swimming Stamina:
Swimming stamina for many terrestrial dinosaurs has been drastically increased. This should make crossing rivers easier for many dinosaurs.

Bucking:
Bucking has also seen a small update that affects all dinosaurs. Bucking now drains more stamina per individual buck, however these bucks now take longer to trigger on the person pounced on you or holding you via clamp.

Tail Attacks:
Many of the existing tail attacks that deal knockback have had their damage values adjusted. For many such as Allosaurus, this is an increase to offer more lethality to dinosaurs trying to get behind you and be less of a boon when pushed away.

Achillobator:

• Increased Combat Weight to 2200 (from 2100).
• Decreased Mocking Cackle Duration to 30 seconds (from 60).
• Decreased Mob Boss Damage Buff to 10% (from 13%)
• Decreased Strong Grip Duration to 5 seconds (from 10).

Dev Note: We've given Achillobator a small weight increase to help it survive certain encounters better, and adjusted its Mob Boss scaling to be less extreme in its lethality.

Albertaceratops:

• Decreased Max Health to 650 (from 700).
• Increased Bite Damage to 35 (from 30).
• Decreased Headbutt Base Damage to 40 (from 50).

• Decreased Off Guard Health Boost to 75 (from 100).
• Removed Off Guard Status Healing Boost.
• Decreased Pivot Turn Buff to 25% (from 50%).

Dev Note: We've adjusted Albertaceratops' health slightly and its damage values to fall in line with the changes to other dinosaurs in its slot range. Stomp has been adjusted to allow a bit more interaction from other dinosaurs and given a smaller cooldown to allow more build flexibility.

Alioramus:

• Decreased Dense Feathers Bleed Heal Buff to 30% (from 40%).

Allosaurus:

• Decreased Combat Weight to 3500 (from 4000).
• Increased Tail Attack Base Damage to 15 (from 5).
• Increased Tail Attack Cooldown to 4 seconds (from 3).
• Decreased Resilient Scales Bleed and Venom Heal to 20% (from 30%).
• Increased Hatchet Bite Stamina Cost to 6 (from 2).
• Decreased Bleed on Claw Attack and Hatchet Bite by 50%.

Dev Note: Allosaurus has received changes to fall in line with changes to its peers. Its tail attack has received more damage to give it more survivability against dinosaurs in smaller slot ranges and this is a change applied to most dinosaurs with knockback tails. The Bleed output has been adjusted on Allosaurus' attacks to fall in line with its intended generalist role.

Amargasaurus:

• Decreased Max Health to 800 (from 1000).
• Decreased Tail Attack Base Damage to 45 (from 60).
• Increased Tail Attack Cooldown to 3 seconds (from 2.5).
• Decreased Tail Attack Knockback to 12 (from 15).

• Decreased Stomp Range to 10 meters (from 15).

Dev Note: Amargasaurus has received reductions to its survivability and damage output to be more approachable by 3-4 slots and to fall in line with changes made to the 5 slot dinosaurs.

Anodontosaurus:

• Decreased Max Health to 700 (from 850).
• Decreased Base Armor to 1.5 (from 2).
• Decreaed Tail Smash Damage to 180 (from 250).

Dev Note: Anodontosaurus has received changes to its survivability to fall in line with changes made to 5 slot dinosaurs.

Barsboldia:

• Decreased Max Health to 950 (from 1450).
• Increased Base Armor to 1.1 (from 1).
• Increased Stamina Recovery Rate to 0.666 (from 0.4).
• Decreased Stamina Sprinting Cost to 2 (from 2.2).

• Increased Tail Smash Cooldown to 12 (from 10).
• Increased Sweep Base Damage to 110 (from 80).
• Increased Sweep Cooldown to 7 seconds (from 5).
• Decreased Deafening Bellow Cooldown to 300 seconds (from 480).
• Decreased Rallying Call Cooldown to 240 seconds (from 480).

• Decreased Resilient Cry Duration to 60 seconds (from 120).
• Decreased Resilient Cry Cooldown to 90 seconds (from 480).
• Ironclad has been updated to reflect base armor increase.

Dev Note: Barsboldia has had its stats rebalanced to be more approachable by smaller dinosaurs and be less of a stat wall in a direct fight. Cooldowns on its main attacks have been adjusted to give openings to its opponents but running stamina and stamina recovery have been buffed to give Bars more presence during the fight.

Camptosaurus:

• Decreased Resilient Scales Bleed and Venom Heal to 20% (from 30%).

Ceratosaurus:

• Decreased Max Health to 600 (from 700).
• Increased Shove Stamina Cost to 5 (from 2.5).
• Decreased Solid Frame Health Boost to 50 (from 100).
• Decreased Solid Frame Status Healing Debuff to 5% (from 50%).
• Increased Swerve Stamina Cost to 7.5 (from 5).
• Decreased Regeneration Status Healing Boost to 20% (from 40%).

Dev Note: Ceratosaurus has had its bulk and the stamina cost of some abilities increased to fall in line with its 2 slot peers better, as it was overperforming previously.

Concavenator:

• Decreased Health Recovery Rate to 1.25 (from 1.4).
• Decreased Claw Attack Bleed to 0.4 (from 0.5).
• Decreased Ripping Kick Bleed Amount to 0.4 (from 0.5).

• Decreased Bite Base Damage to 60 (from 70).
• Increased Tail Attack Base Damage to 15 (from 5).
• Decreased Piercing Bite Damage to 75 (from 120).
• Increased Piercing Bite Cooldown to 30 seconds (from 20).
• Increased Tyrant Roar Cooldown to 200 seconds (from 120).
• Decreased Dense Scales Damage Resistance from larger Dinosaurs to 12.5% (from 25%).
• Decreased Dense Scales Damage Boost from smaller Dinosaurs to 6.25 (from 12.5).
• Added new effects to Dense Scales: 15% better Bleed Healing and 15% better Venom Healing.
• Decreased Thin Scutes Damage Resistance from smaller Dinosaurs to 12.5% (from 25%).
• Decreased Thin Scutes Damage Boost from larger Dinosaurs to 6.25 (from 12.5).
• Added new effects to Thin Scutes: 15% better Bleed Healing, and 15% better Venom Healing.

Dev Note: Daspletosaurus has had its health and damage stats adjusted to fall in line with other dinosaur changes and its hides made less extreme in their effects.

Dev Note: Deinocheirus has received the same changes of other 5 slot dinosaurs and stamina values on its attacks adjusted to allow it more movement during a fight. Additionally, Wring Out now grants Wetness immunity temporary, allowing Land Builds opportunities on land during Storms.

Deinonychus:

• Decreased Tail Fan Stamina Cost to 5 (from 7.5)
• Decreased Sever Tendon Stamina Cost to 7.5 (from 10).
• Added new effect to Slicer: Slicer now provides healing while bleeding at 50% efficiency.

Patch 42433 Hotfix 10

These fixes should significantly improve stability and reduce crashes caused by memory growth. While there may still be some edge cases, overall memory usage should now be much more stable.

Windows 10 End of Life Notice – October 14, 2025

As many of you may know, Microsoft will officially end support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025. After this date, Windows 10 will no longer receive security updates or official support from Microsoft.

To ensure transparency and continued player safety, we want to inform you of the following changes:

Game Startup Warning Message
Starting soon, players running Path of Titans on Windows 10 will see an startup notice reminding them that the operating system has reached end-of-life status. This message is meant to keep players informed about the potential risks of using an unsupported OS.

Continued Game Compatibility
Path of Titans will continue to function on Windows 10 for the foreseeable future. However, as Microsoft has ended support, we can no longer guarantee stability or security on that platform. Over time, new updates may not be fully compatible with older systems.

QA Testing Changes
Our mainline QA testing will shift focus away from Windows 10. While we expect the game to continue running, our testing and optimization efforts for Desktop PCs will primarily target Windows 11, macOS, and Linux going forward.

Extended Security Updates (For EU)
Because Windows 10 is reaching end of support, Microsoft has announced a one-year Extended Security Updates (ESU) option to bridge the gap; however, this is limited to certain regions in the EU, has significant restrictions, and is not universally available.

Additionally, there is an active lawsuit alleging that Microsoft is strategically timing the end of Windows 10 support to push users into buying new hardware or migrating to Windows 11, especially when many devices cannot meet Windows 11’s requirements.

If Microsoft changes or extends the end-of-life schedule due to legal or regulatory pressure, we will adjust Path of Titans’ support on Windows 10 accordingly.

Environmental & E-Waste Concerns
One more important factor to consider is the environmental impact of forcing or strongly encouraging the replacement of otherwise functional hardware. Windows 11’s stricter minimum requirements (such as TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, and a restricted list of supported CPUs) mean many still capable systems become ineligible for upgrade, which in turn may push owners to discard or replace them.

Estimates suggest that hundreds of millions of PCs might be affected by Windows 11’s compatibility constraints, potentially being deemed “obsolete” even though they can still function.

This abrupt obsolescence raises environmental concerns and may impose costs on users who did not need or want to change hardware solely to satisfy OS requirements.

What You Can Do
We strongly recommend upgrading to a supported operating system to ensure the best gameplay experience, stability, and security.
Players can choose from:

• Windows 11
• macOS
• Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, SteamOS, and others.

These platforms will continue to receive full QA support and optimizations for Path of Titans moving forward. Many of these other platforms like Linux, continue to work great on unsupported devices for Windows 11.

Please reach out to our support team if you have any questions as we are more then happy to help people with upgrades.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we adapt to these platform changes. <@&630630072914542592>

Connection Issues for Players in Russia

We want to let you know about a major connection issue currently affecting players connecting from Russia to official Path of Titans servers.

What’s Happening
Players in Russia are experiencing connection timeouts when joining servers. The game loads, but the connection freezes during the initial sync, leading to a timeout after about 20 seconds.
This issue is not caused by Path of Titans or our servers, everything is functioning normally for players in other regions.
Some players also report being unable to download the game from the launcher.

The Cause
Since May–June 2025, several Russian ISPs have introduced new network filtering policies that block or severely restrict UDP traffic from many foreign hosting providers. Unfortunately, Path of Titans relies on UDP for real-time gameplay and these new filters are unintentionally blocking legitimate game traffic.

This isn’t just affecting us, many other online games and Steam servers are seeing similar issues.

Why It’s Hard to Fix

• ICMP and TCP (like ping tests) still work, so connection checks may look fine even though gameplay traffic is blocked.
• The blocking happens within Russian ISP networks, outside our control.
• It targets specific hosting providers, not individual servers.
• Each ISP behaves differently, some block more aggressively than others.
  We’re investigating all possible workarounds, but the problem is likely beyond what we can directly resolve.

Our Message to Russian Players
We deeply value all members of our community, including our players in Russia.
We know this situation is incredibly frustrating, and we share that frustration. We’ll keep monitoring the situation and will post updates if anything changes or if a viable solution becomes available.

Technical Details (For Those Interested)

• Russian ISPs are filtering or rate-limiting UDP traffic to foreign hosting providers.
• Filtering uses Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) designed to block VPNs, but it also catches legitimate game traffic.
• Some providers also enforce small TCP data limits (~15–20KB), though Path of Titans primarily uses UDP.
• This is part of a broader tightening of internet restrictions affecting services like Cloudflare and Steam.

For More information please see the following resources
https://blog.cloudflare.com/russian-internet-users-are-unable-to-access-the-open-internet
https://en.zona.media/article/2025/06/19/cloudflare
https://github.com/net4people/bbs/issues/490

We’ll continue posting updates here and on our official Discord and website as the situation evolves.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.

This patch will take 30 minutes to roll out and some users may have issues joining servers until the patch is fully live. If you have issues joining servers, you may need to restart your game and wait for servers to get the update. If they have automatic updates on they will restart earlier then normal to apply the patch.

Thanks for your patience and feedback as we continue polishing the new system!

[stone ivy]

Changes to Official Servers (Trophies)

[stone ivy]

Update rolling out, it may take some time to show up on all platforms

Patch 45114

Please note it may take some time for patch to show up on your platform including servers and mods to update.
Platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Switch

Major New Features:

Added New Map: Riparia

This 5km by 5km map features extensive river and water systems, 7 new biomes, and countless new POIs and quests. Please note Riparia characters are currently separate from Gondwa and Panjura characters, but this may change in the future.

Added Aquatic Creature Tylosaurus

This new large aquatic carnivore has been added to the game, and is accessible to play on both Gondwa and Riparia maps.

Kaiwhekea and Eurhinosaurus Ability Updates

These two aquatic creatures have received a number of ability updates to improve their aquatic gameplay and game feel. This is nearly a full TLC, and brings many quality of life improvements and bug fixes to these creatures.

Critter Improvements:

• Added aquatic albino critters.
• Added swimming animations to Limulus.
• Fixed swimming animations for Didelphodon and Bagaceratops.
• Fixed instances where Critters wouldn't ignore loading players.

Audio Improvements:

• Added Distant Calls to Camptosaurus, Deinonychus, Eurhinosaurus, Kaiwhekea, Latenivenatrix, and Pachycephalosaurus.

General Improvements:

• Added New Ocean and Herbivore Quests to Gondwa map.
• Fixed log spam for some quests.
• Fixed nest collection quest to only work with carnivore specific diets.
• Fixed NPC questgivers giving incorrect quest types to different dinosaur types.
• Optimizations to older quests.
• Server performance improvements.
• Fixes to Ravenous Cooldown not being called in instances it should.
• Fixes to Feed Group Member Quest.
• Improvements to Hatzegopteryx Flail VFX.
• Adjusted Clamp Cooldown to not trigger if successfully clamping a dinosaur.
• Adjusted Quest Toast to show growth if growth earned amount is under 1%.
• Fixed inconsistencies with quest cooldowns.
• Disabled Depth of Field in normal gameplay for technical reasons, but is still enabled in replays for screenshots.
• Fixed stamina consumption inconsistencies for Rhamphorhynchus and Thalassodromeus.

Combat Changes:

Nictating Membrane:

We have decreased the range of how far Nictating Membrane boosts sight through fog and underwater to decrease frequency of loading stutters and improve general performance.

Knockback Changes:

To improve server performance we have decreased knockback values on Amargasaurus, Barsboldia, Deinocheirus, Suchomimus, Lambeosaurus, Pycnonemosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, and Spinosaurus. This should result in less hits that result in users 'teleporting' from high knockback attacks while fighting with these dinosaurs. We will be keeping an eye out for if any of the affected dinosaurs need improvements in other areas to compensate for this.

Hotpatch Fix for Skins

We have a hotpatch going live now with a fix for skins not working and a few other things. Servers will automatically restart in 30 minutes for a update.
You may need to restart your game and potentionally have issues joining servers until its fully rolled out.

[stone ivy]

Known Issue joining matchmaking

We are currently working on a fix, because the update is so popular we ran out of server capacity, working on scaling up more now.
It will take a bit to get online.

[stone ivy]

Issue: Riparia servers were going to North America

We had a wrong configuration on our side causing the other regions to go to NA. We have applied a fix and this will be resolved over the next few hours as servers spin up. If you logout and start matchmaking again you will get the right region

For Mobile Users Crashing on Riparia but not Gondwa or Panjura

Riparia is a massively detailed map, and some devices with low memory may have difficulties running this new map. If your device has low memory, there will be a message indicating from the main menu. We will be working to improve compatability with all our supported devices as we recieve playtesting and feedback from the community. If you are having issues playing on Riparia, we have ensured that Gondwa and Panjura are still just as accessable as ever, and you can continue to play on those maps. We apologize for any inconvenience!

Phones and Tablets that ship with 6 GB of RAM or higher will be fine on Riparia however phones with 4 GB will crash.
We have some ideas on how to optimize the map to fix this in the future.

[stone ivy]

Known Issue: Switch Startup / Login Issues / Patching Issues

When playing on Switch a number of players will get errors similar to: Error Unknown, No Internet, File Corruption, Error 2, Error 4.

We have seen success in players doing the following:

1. Making sure players fully restart their switch console by doing a full power down, and booting back up. This causes a certificate to update which should fix the No Internet Issue or similar problems
2. After doing the reboot, a game reinstall usually fixes the problem. Please note that if you don't perform step 1. Reinstalling the game will still lead to no internet error.

We are currently investigating these issues but are unable to provide a patch to fix it anytime soon because Nintendo is on holiday with their approval process. If need help trying to resolve these please reach out via #1150510168073850971

Other Known Issue:

Crashes due to Memory:
Some switch players report crashing issues only on Riparia, this is caused by the switch console running out of RAM. We plan on addressing this in optimizations in Early 2026.

<@&630630225436213259>

Fixed Issue: Error 401 / Issues with Verifying files. Game not installed etc.

These should be resolved in the latest launcher patch 1.3.16. If you are still having issues please let us know via #1150510168073850971 so we can assist you.

Patch 45114 Hotpatch
This patch is a follow up to previous hot patches aimed at addressing bugs and improving quests over the holidays.

Riparia:

• Fixed an area of Hollow Hills having LOD1 cached for the landscape instead of using LOD0. This was leading to infinite loading screens bug.
• Updated item requirements for the mushroom collect quests in Hollow Hills and Wind Tunnel.

Note: This hotpatch will take 30 minutes to roll out. Both clients and servers need to fully restart to apply it. You may have issues joining servers while this is rolling out. If you are having issues please make sure to fully force quit your game and relaunch it to download the update.

Update on Crashing for Riparia on iOS / Android and Switch for 4 GB or less RAM devices

• We have a found a fix that reduces memory usage on all platforms by 1 GB. Which would solve the problem completely. We aim to have this fix in our next major patch in Early 2026 so players on lower end devices can play the map without crashing.

Path of Titans – Public Test Branch Stress Test

We’ll be running a stress test on the Public Test Branch in about one hour (10:30 PM EST).

The purpose of this test is to evaluate performance and overall stability following the Unreal Engine 5.7 upgrade, and to identify any major bugs or issues that may arise.

During the test, the server will also be used to collect performance and network profiling data. This will help us optimize the game and move closer to supporting 200-player servers.

How to Join

• Grab the Public Test Role in #role-setup and follow the instructions in the new channels
• Supported platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and Xbox
• Other platforms are currently unsupported for this test

The server will be called "PTB Stress Test" on the community server list when the test starts.
We only need about 200 people, if the test is full players are welcome to either join Riparia matchmaking or we can spin up more servers.

Bug Reporting
If you encounter any bugs, please report them on the bug tracker, be sure to select Public Test as the Branch.
You do not need to report:

• Red trees
• Debug cubes (blue, red, or grey)
• These are placeholder assets related to work-in-progress quest changes

<@&630633464475156482>

[stone ivy]

For those joining the stress test on the Public Test Branch (PTB), the test has started. Please follow #ptb-changelog (PTB Changelog) channel for more updates

[stone ivy]

The stress test on the PTB was a success, we had a lot of players show up, we collected a lot of server profile data that we will use to optimize the game

Patch rolling out

It will take several hours of work to roll out the patch for all platforms. Please keep in mind that servers and mods need to update and may have issues. We will post the patch notes when the patch is fully rolled out.
This patch won't be available for Switch yet as it needs Nintendo approval.

[stone ivy]

Patch 46166h2

Platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, Xbox One, Xbox Series, PS4, PS5
Keep in mind Switch hasn't received this patch due to waiting for approval from Nintendo.

Mods and Community Servers will need to take time to update and fix any compatibility issues with the new engine upgrade. Please give them time to work though this, it may take a few weeks to resolve. As always if your mod or server breaks due to the engine upgrade, its on us and please contact us for help fixing it.

As this patch is a engine upgrade, we expect to have some serious bugs with the game please send us your feedback and the development team will work on improvements over the next few weeks to resolve any issues. The patch is large due to the engine changing almost every file in the game.

New Features

Thalassodromeus TLC

This TLC turns the Thalassodromeus into an airborne menace focused on using new air and glide abilities, that help it more easily travel to far off destinations, and new ground abilities.

• An all-new set of abilities
• Updated model, textures, and animations
• Adjusted stats and subspecies

Game Features

• We have upgraded Path of Titans to Unreal Engine 5.7
  This upgrade brings a lot of performance improvements, stability fixes, rendering fixes, and many other improvements.

• Maps are now using World Partition, a new method of map loading
  This dramatically improves memory usage and reduces hitching when travelling around the world. Low memory devices such as mobile should now have a much smoother gameplay experience.
  We have also added a new Graphics setting for PC/Mac/Linux called "Far Landscape" that lets the player display the distant landscape even further out than was possible before.

• A handful of new quests are available on Riparia, found in: Redwoods, Volcano Islands, Twisted Forest, and Mudflats
  These new quest items are unique to each area, such as Cicadas found in Redwoods, Snake Shed in Twisted Forest, and more!

• Hollow Hills now features more food for herbivores, and more pathways into and out of the POI
  Community feedback indicated that Hollow Hills was a difficult area to explore and visit regularly due to there being only 2 methods to enter the POI. We have significantly reworked the cliffs around Hollow Hills to allow for much easier traversal in order to enter Hollow Hills.

• Added new "Whisper" tab to the chat box for whispers received
  We've moved the whisper functionality over to a new window to make them easier to read and respond to.

• Added optional ability to disable Global chat channel in game settings

• Improved server performance

• Added additional emotes to Hatzegopteryx and Rhamphorhynchus

General Fixes

• Fixed The icon for autorun stays on screen after dying while running.
• Dinosaur hit and death sounds now originate from the dino's head instead of their feet
• Fixed Dry Fang Canyon Hole Leads Under Map
• Implemented feedback on Hollow hills new pathways, removing some foliage off of player paths.
• Fixed Tutorial Cave Log Out Bug from Juvenile
• Fixed some collision issues in Cliffside Edge falls on Riparia
• Fixed creator mode objects not spawning correctly when placed assets were copied and pasted.
• Fixed finishing tutorial cave too early and being left in the overworld without properly completing the tutorial quests.
• Fixed floating trees around the new passage ways into hollow hills.
• Added a /r command to use to reply to whispers, instead of using /whisper
• Adjusted the brightness of vocal call and air ability effects when night time.
• Fixed distant map not respecting biome color tints, and also improved overall visual quality of distant map visuals
• Server performance improvements
• Fixed Left D-pad not opening Quest Log
• Fixed server log Spam from Critter Damage
• Fixed Albino critters don't spawn in Singleplayer on Gondwa
• Fixed Singleplayer settings don't save
• Fixed typos and incorrect commas in Quest text
• Fixed Gondwa Home Cave Entrances Partially Obstructed by Surrounding Rocks
• Slight Adjustments to how armor is handled for flying Impact damage
• Fixed Switch Pro Controller on PC showing wrong back button on Quest Log
• Fixed Chat fields not clearing after sending the message on Android
• Fixed some player start points duplicating when they were copied and pasted around the map using creator mode
• Fixed Albino Critter Chime Sound
• Improved visibility of chat channel tabs UI
• Fixed mobile chatbox chat fields not clearing after sending the message
• Fixed certain lakes/rivers water quality going above 100% or below 0%, and rare instances where water would turn black or white after depleting it
• Fixed rare instances where a player could get stuck after knocking a tree over.
• Fixed instances where some server owners reported players getting stuck when saving/loading/respawning their character.
• Fixed various item icons having blue rings around them and improved overall image quality.
• Fixes to the Wollemi Forest underwater tunnels

Combat Changes:

Ceratosaurus:

• Decreased Combat Weight to 2500 (from 2600).
• Increased Berserker Damage Buff to 30% (from 25%).
• Increased Solid Frame Health Buff to 75 (from 50).
• Increased Taunt Damage Resistance to 40% (from 25%).
• Decreased Taunt Range to 50 meters (from 75).
• Decreased Robust Jaws Health Debuff to 10% (from 12.5).

Concavenator:

• Decreased Slash Bleed Amount to 0.35 (from 0.5).
• Increased Frenzy Stamina Recovery Boost to 50% (from 25%).

Kaiwhekea:

• Increased Sprinting Swim Speed to 990 (from 900).
• Increased water rotation rate by 10% (all water turns).
• Increased water acceleration by 50%.
• Fixed Barrel Roll AoE Scaling to apply correct damage values.
• Increased Barrel Roll Base Damage to 85 (from 75).
• Increased Fluke Slap Damage to 70 (from 60).

Server Owners

We have added a new webhook called PlayerCommand which can be used to detect chat commands from players without needing to use PlayerChat. The default operator is ! however this can be changed in server settings.

Changing Player Command Prefix (Game.ini)

[/Script/PathOfTitans.IGameState]
PlayerCommandEscapeChars=!

So a command like !hello will get sent to the PlayerCommand webhook and not PlayerChat from this patch. Keep in mind RCON bots and mods that rely on the user having global chat always enabled, or going to global chat can't assume this any more as global chat can be disabled. You can send messages to another tab like Whisper instead to players. Please contact us if you need help with this or feel free to make a support ticket. We understand this might cause some issues with community servers.

Balance changes from Curve Overrides from Last Patch

Dev Note: These are existing curves already on official servers and are being put into the base game for community servers to also have. This also applies to the combat weight and health changes from the prior patch that were done via curve overrides.

• Decreased Combat Weight to 2500 (from 2700).
• Increased Charged Swing Base Damage to 75 (from 70).
• Increased Detonate Stamina Cost to 5 (from 1).
• Decreased Juke Stamina Cost by 50%.

Megalania:

• Decreased Combat Weight to 2400 (from 2600).
• Decreased Sprint Swimming Stamina Cost to 1.3 (from 2.2).

Pachycephalosaurus:

• Increased Charged Headbutt Base Damage to 50 (from 20).
• Decreased Dodge Stamina Cost by 50%.
• Increased Skull Bash Base Damage to 40 (from 20).
• Unlinked Kick and Dodge Cooldowns.

Tylosaurus:

• Increased Clamp Cooldown to 15 seconds (from 10).
• Increased Acoustic Debilitation Cooldown to 90 seconds (from 60).
• Increased Stun Immunity to 2 minutes (from 1).
• Decreased Wide Gap Bucking Resistance to 12.5% (from 25%).

[stone ivy]

Patch 46166 Hotfix 12

Platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux

Changes Updates

• New Server Setting: bChatPaidUsersOnly
• Fixed: Updated Chat Rules reminder message to reflect the global chat setting is located in social settings instead of game settings.
• Updated Localization

Servers can now restrict chat access to players who own the game. On Official Servers, this setting will be enforced automatically. At this time, it applies to Global Chat only.

This change is intended to reduce toxicity in global chat and prevent banned users from creating alternate accounts to continue disruptive behavior.

After personally encountering several instances of players using alternate accounts to bypass chat bans and continue toxic behavior, we chose to escalate this into an emergency hotfix rather than wait for the next scheduled update.

We will also be taking a firmer stance on chat abuse moving forward. Mutes and game bans will be issued more aggressively for toxic behavior, harassment, and attempts to evade moderation actions.

This is one of several ongoing improvements aimed at making in-game communication safer and more enjoyable for everyone.

• If the player has Global Chat disabled, it will instead appear in their Local Chat tab.
• This command does not use the Whisper system.
• Messages sent this way will not appear in the Whisper tab.

Purpose:

• Designed primarily for RCON usage.
• Allows admins to send direct notices, warnings, or information to individual players.

**From Nintendo: **

Currently, the network service is undergoing maintenance.
Some network services may be unavailable at this time due to server maintenance. 
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Update on Nintendo Situation

It seems Nintendo accidentally or unintentionally broke our game from working. Even though the server maintenance is over the game still isn't working. We will be troubleshooting on our side and waiting for them to fix it.

Currently the game is down in the production version and even our development version. This is affecting both Switch 1 and 2. We never got any notice about server maintenance that would stop the game from working.

• Fixed an issue where the Megalania capsule remained visible on the corpse after respawning.

Xbox Patch Rolling Out

I am testing a new (Game Development Kit) Update from the Xbox Team to see if it resolves crashes and updating it to hotfix 7. Let me know how it goes and if you have any major issues.

Why is my dino in a different spot then when i logged out on Riparia?

Your dinosaur may be in a different location because the map was updated. With this update, all characters were reset to new positions to prevent them from getting stuck due to map changes. This was necessary since many players were unable to continue playing because their characters were trapped. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Platforms: Xbox One, Xbox Series

• Fixed: Issue from Hotfix 14 where some ability cooldowns were not working correctly

We want to sincerely apologize to our Xbox players for the recent crashes and the frequency of larger patches. Many of these crashes have been difficult to reproduce in our internal testing, which has slowed down how quickly we can identify and fix them.

Xbox Settings Reset Bug

While we haven't found a root cause to this issue yet we are working on applying a workaround which is implementing cloud save for the settings. This will save your Xbox settings per user cloud storage which will sync between Xbox consoles via Xbox Live.

This has a number of benefits including if your Xbox gets damaged or factory reset you will still have all your settings. It will let settings be customized per Xbox Live user profile which previously it was a per console basis.

Thanks for your continued support and patience during this bug, I know people spend hours customizing settings and controls so this is really important and we hope to roll this out soon for the next Xbox update.

<@&630630162597281792>

[stone ivy]

Patch 47021 – Hotfix 36

Platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux, Xbox One, Xbox Series, PS4, PS5
Please note that it may take some time to show up on all platforms

Xbox

Settings Cloud Save

• We have implemented Cloud Save for Xbox Settings as a workaround to fix the Settings resetting due to a bug.
  Existing settings should be migrated to a cloud save.

This will save your Xbox settings to per user cloud storage which will sync between Xbox consoles via Xbox Live.

This has a number of benefits including if your Xbox gets damaged or factory reset you will still have all your settings. It will let settings be customized per Xbox Live user profile which previously it was a per console basis.

Server Owners

Increased MOTD and Rules Sizes

• Increased the Message of the Day and Server Rules length limit from 1,024 Characters to 16,384 Characters, which is a 16x increase in available space. This gives admins room for full rule sets, formatted server info, community details, and event announcements without needing to truncate. For text like Dinosaur Profiles we plan on adding a in-game wiki that can be customized on a per server basis by server owners to add these realism profiles to per dinosaur.

DiscordId Added to PlayerLogin Webhook

• Added DiscordId to the PlayerLogin webhook. This provides a basic identifier that allows community servers to confirm a player’s linked Discord account (if connected to their Alderon Games account).
  • This is simply an ID used for verification and automation.
  • Enables server owners to optionally build features such as automatic whitelisting, Discord role integration, or streamlined verification systems.
  • Can also be used to restrict Discord communities or channels to players with linked Alderon Games accounts, helping reduce trolling and harassment.
  • Usage is fully controlled by server owners, with implementation handled by server tools or bot developers.

ServerMap=Gondwa will now load the correct map

• Updated server configuration behavior: using ServerMap=Gondwa will now automatically remap to ServerMap=Island instead of failing to load.
  • This reduces confusion caused by the internal map path being labeled as "Island."
  • In the future we will rename the internal map file name to Gondwa

<@&922768313698902056> <@&630630162597281792>

[stone ivy]

Known Issue: Singleplayer saves missing on Xbox

We will be fixing that in a follow up patch sometime in the next few days. From what I can see on my side the saves should be restored when we fix it in a update.

<@&630630162597281792>

[stone ivy]

Balance Update (5th May 2026)

Please note that this will take some time to roll out to all servers as they restart over the next few hours

Food and Combat Changes

Body Food Amounts:

We have decreased the amount of food all player bodies and critter bodies provide. This change has been tested on the game back in early March and kept on official servers for several weeks before they were removed in the Metri update. We are reintegrating the changes with the goal of decreasing how much food is readily accessible. The game will be getting additional changes in the next major patch to supplement it.

Metriacanthosaurus:

• Default bite now deals 25 base damage (from 20)
• Default bite now has a 15% damage buff at night (from 10%)
• Noxious Frenzy now only requires 10 stacks (from 15)

Dev Note: We have adjusted Metriacanthosaurus' base bite and Noxious Frenzy to be stronger and more usable compared to other attack options. We are aware of issues this dinosaur is facing with some of its peers such as Pycnonemosaurus and Allosaurus. There are planned adjustments to these two that will be coming in the future. All of the changes combined should give our Metri players some more breathing room.

Tylosaurus:

• Increased Headbutt cooldown to 8 seconds (from 7)
• Decreased Hardskull AoE damage to 30% (from 50%)
• Decreased Feral Instincts Damage Buff to 10% (from 20%)

Dev Note: Tylosaurus has seen a decreased to its Feral Instincts sense ability to make it less universally picked and give breathing room to some of the larger semi aquatics. Headbutt has seen a small cooldown increase and Hardskull now deals less AoE damage to allow smaller aquatics more interaction with it. We will be keeping an eye out and seeing what further adjustments Tylosaurus needs to make it more fair to interact with for other dinosaurs.

Tyrannotitan:

• Decreased Base Bite Bleed Amount to .4 (from .55)
• Increased Terrifying Presence Stamina Cost to 20 (from 8)
• Decreased Skydiver Fall Damage Reduction to 20% (from 40%)
• Increased Food/Water Drain to 40 minutes (from 60+)

Dev Note: Tyrannotitan has seen a decrease to its bleed output and Terrifying Presence now has a much heftier stamina cost. This should make Titans less likely to outperform its 5 slot peers. Skydiver reduction should allow smaller playables more options to escape from a pursuing Titan. Additionally Titan's planned food/water change has been implemented to make it less able to heal stall as reliably. The design team will be keeping an eye out if Titan needs any further balance tweaks following this and the rest of the upcoming food/water changes.

Patch 47021 – Hotfix 42

Platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux

• Crash Fixes / Bug Fixes
• Updated Crash Reporter

[stone ivy]

Update regarding next major patch

Quick update on the upcoming patch: it's going to take a bit longer than usual to ship.

The patch has been in internal testing for the past few days, and during that process the team identified a few areas we feel need more polish before it's ready for your hands. On top of that, we've decided to expand the patch with some additional content while we're at it.

We know waiting isn't fun, but we'd rather take the extra time to deliver something we're genuinely proud of than push out a build that isn't where it needs to be.

I will keep you updated on how it goes. We are also working on a Dev Blog with more detailed updates on what the team is working on and will post it here as soon as it's ready. Thanks for your patience and continued support.

Patch 47021 – Hotfix 43

Platforms: Xbox

• Crash Fixes
• Fixed a few issues where the game would freeze loading mod / store images.

[stone ivy]

Xbox Crash Update

We wanted to share an update on the Xbox crashes some players have been experiencing, especially crashes that happen when suspending and resuming the game.

After investigation, we’ve identified a root cause affecting a lot of these crashes. Microsoft has confirmed there is a regression in the April 2026 Xbox Game Development Kit that can cause crashes during resume. They are preparing a fix, which is expected to be included in the April 2026 Game Development Kit Update 1 next week.

Once that fix is available, we’ll work on integrating it and getting it into a future Path of Titans update as soon as we can.

Thank you to everyone who sent reports and details. We know these crashes are frustrating, and we appreciate your patience while we work through them.

As always if you are having issues with the game on Xbox please let us know via #1150510168073850971 or support ticket.

Known Server Issues

Currently Investigating Fixed

[stone ivy]

Known Server Issues / Maintenance

It seems one of our providers in the US is doing maintenance on their networking equipment which is causing servers to go down. I will be taking a look to see if we can have the game on backup servers. However this is expected to be finished within the next few hours.

[stone ivy]

Known Issues: Linux Mesa 26.1.0 is broken

Rolling release distros that ship development / unstable packages (like cachyos etc) to users seem to have triggered an issue with latest mesa version that is broken and the game doesn't render or only renders the UI with a black screen is caused by the latest mesa update. Using the flatpak the game seems to render fine because it uses a old version of mesa.

We plan on sending a bug report to mesa team about this. However as a workaround try using the flatpak instead.

"Mesa 26.1.0 is a new development release. People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait for Mesa 26.1.1." - from mesa website

@everyone As apart of our initiative to support content creators and modders we will be providing some free dedicated servers to modders who have been granted access to the dev kit so everyone that has been invited to the testing can contribute and help test mods and the base game while they are developed.

Reminder that if you have previous modding experience or have made mods before in any unreal engine based games feel free to contact one of us with examples of previous work and we will look at adding you to the private dev kit testing group.

Please contact @gloomy mulch if you fit into these categories. Otherwise if you want to sign up for testing on PC or android please checked pinned messages in this channel and fill out the form.

@everyone If you are interested in donating or supporting the project early you can now do this from our website.
Donating early won't get you access to the game yet. It is just for supporting the developers!
However the website will allow you to make an account so we can track your donation so we can give rewards at a later point.
We are planning on doing a full crowdfunding later down the line, so it's up to you if you want to wait for that.

We are also working on a form that you can use to signup for testing / dev kits on the website too. So stay tuned for that.
This form will allow us to add people to dev kits or testing in bulk and is much easier then manually adding people from a google form.

Thanks everyone for the support!
