DUNGEON OF THE ENDLESS UPDATE

Release Notes [1.0.58]

• Added a save and load system in multiplayer and auto save at the beginning of each floor. It also allows the host to reload a game with disconnected players. See Multiplayer Save part below for more details.
  
• Added a share items feature in multiplayer. Items in the inventory are now shared between players. The backpack is still for personal items. Be careful when you go to another level and check your inventory before leaving!
  
• Researches are now shared between players on multiplayer
  
• Added a new menu (top left corner or “P” shortcut) in multiplayer with the following features:
  
  • Players can give heroes to the other players
    
  • Players can check the network ping state of each player
    
  • Players can still exchange resources
    
  • The host can kick players
• Added an option on multiplayer which allows the host to choose between private (only by invitation – default), friends only, and public game
  
• Added DLCs listing in the main menu
  
• Added more variety in the weapon impact VFXs
  
• Improved the main menu light and VFX
  
• Fixed the negative restore Science cost bug
  
• Reduced the Tear Gas module damage over time
  
• Improved the loading time when generating a new floor

Multiplayer Save

The host can save and quit the game in the same conditions as the solo mode (only during the strategic phase). Every player will be disconnected and receive the save. One of the players (and only one) must go in “Multiplayer / Load” and select the game (he/she then becomes the host). The other players can then see the loaded game in the session list (only available for players of the previously saved game).

This feature allows a disconnected player to get back into the game. If a network issue occurs, the host can save and quit, then reload the game with everybody. We’re working on small improvements to make this process simpler.

The auto saves are also available on multiplayer mode. If the host crashes or is disconnected, he/she will be able to load the game at the beginning of the current floor with the other players.

DEEP FREEZE DLC

In the test build the MP fixes were fantastic. Definitly making the MP much more worth it :)

[Gladeel]

The issue has been fixed! You should be able to install and play the game now.
If it doesn't work, I suggest you to restart Steam.

[Nikotin]

Yep, now it works. Thank you.
