Update 23.373.001 Now Available: Daily events, a free Rep boost and more!

[ecavalli]

This is a great weekend to play some Prominence Poker, as we've just released a significant update that adds daily events, improves the in-game UI, grants all players a free Rep boost, and much more! For full details, take a look at the official patch notes:

PATCH NOTES - Update 23.373.001

Highlights

EVENTS have come to Prominence

The time has come for EVENTS to be released into the streets of Prominence! And just in time for SUCKER PUNCH SATURDAYS.

SUCKER PUNCH SATURDAYS: All Day long, receive TRIPLE REP from the Knockout REP Reward

Events occur every day, granting rewards for performing specific actions, using certain items and even representing your current affiliation.

Please view the EVENTS section of the HOW TO PLAY menu for information about event criteria, scheduling and rewards!


FREE 3 Day BOOST

In our last patch, we removed the Dry Cleaning system, hinting towards revamping the system into something a bit more rewarding. Welcome BOOSTS.

BOOSTS will drastically amplify both your REP and Daily Cut rewards for 3 full days! All players will receive this FREE 3 Day BOOST upon creating their account and logging in for the first time.

Fear not existing players, you will receive your FREE 3 Day REP BOOST upon your next log-in.


Reworked the way players join their first AFFILIATION

As mentioned in the prior patch, we noticed that there was some confusion surrounding the Affiliations and how to join them. We took a step back and realized that the process required in joining an Affiliation felt more like a chore than a reward.

We have changed the Affiliation join process. Players will no longer be required to beat the Affiliations Boss in the Underground in order to join their first Affiliation. Now, all players will be directed to the Affiliation menu upon returning to the Main Menu after reaching level 10. Players can then join an affiliation of their choice and begin reaping the rewards without having to complete any additional actions.

Choose wisely my fanny pack wearing friends, only your first Affiliation can be joined without beating the Boss.


BOUNTIES have replaced Timed Challenges

We have reworked the timed challenges displayed on the PLAY! and PAUSE Menus, turning them into BOUNTIES.

BOUNTIES reward CHIPS instead of REP for completion! Players can hold 1 Weekly and 3 Daily challenges at a time.

Weekly challenges reset each week, Daily each day at 00:00 UTC (this will be the same time that your Daily Cut is ready), so make sure to complete these before they expire!


DAILY CUT payout changes and increased messaging

We have adjusted the DAILY CUT reward values and increased rewards for building a Streak. We have also added additional messaging to let players know when their next cut is ready, as well as what level they will receive their Next Cut Increase.

We wanted to emphasize the Streak Bonus multiplier instead of the Base Bonus to further reward players who come back more often. Players will also now build their streaks quicker, resulting in more chips faster for consecutive log-ins.


Improvements

We are always looking to improve the game, along with the larger changes mentioned above, here are some quality of life improvements we’ve made. If you’d like to know more about these changes, or suggest new ones, please let us know on the Forums!

Still no option to turn the blue spotlight off.

I am stuck in the casual games menue since the update. It loads and loads and loads but nothing happens. The only chance to close the game is with the task manager.

My feeling is that this game had a good start and get's worse with every update. The four color deck option which you rarely see in social poker gave me a hint that this will be very much different, but I'm not sure if all this is going in the right direction.

Daily events are for everyone.

And I'm sorry that you've been losing, but that's not an indictaor of other players cheating and it's no reason to resort to swears. That's why your second comment was deleted.

Update: now I get directly into the broken casual games menu after the start of "Prominence Poker". the main menu has disappeared. playing is impossible since the update.

I don't know why you can't join, but if it immediately starts trying to join a room/table after you restart the game, hit the back button. That means you are still 'connected' to that table and the game automatically starts trying to stick you back in it. Do you get to the point where it shows peoples names who are already at the table?

[Thorim]

The game shows me where I played the last time. It was a 10k ring games table. Nobody is on this table. The back button (or any other button) does not work. I can do nothing in the game.

Maybe a dev can provide better info, I don't wanna steer you wrong. But at that point I'd verify game files, check AV/firewall permissions, or complete reinstall.

[Thorim]

Ok I will test this the next days. Thank you for your help!

That's solid advice. If you keep seeing the issue after trying these ideas, please let us know and we'll see what we can figure out.

Yup, that's certainly the "can't connect" error message.

Are you able to play other games online? Does this problem persist even if you restart Steam?
