Desperados III: Free Content Update Out Now!

Hey friends,

Once again, thanks so much to anyone who has already played Desperados III!

I'm happy to announce that we just released a FREE CONTENT UPDATE on all platforms .

As highlight the content update includes the "Baron's Challenge Mission Pack #1", adding four brand new Baron's Challenge missions:

- Vanishing Act: A certain snake-oil salesman is peddling his wares at the town square of Flagstone. Make him disappear.

- Untitled Voodoo Mission: Isabelle is about to crash Mayor Higgins' wedding, and she has brought a LOT of mind control darts.

- Public Transportation: Two dead men must be carried to the Eagle Falls train station. The guards won't shoot on sight, but if they see a body...

- Bird Hunting: Doc is perched on the roof of Casa DeVitt, with plenty of ammo and five targets on his list. The party is still going. Happy hunting.

But there is more: We know that many of you have been waiting for a patch to come out, which will address the most common bug issues and fulfill your wishes for additional screen options.

With this free content update, we are fixing the most common bugs and performance / stability issues on consoles and PC. The patch includes, for example, Crash, UI and Cloth Simulation fixes and solves the Showdown Mode Pause Bug, the Bootup Video issues and the Blackscreen on Mission End, among others. Moreover, we added some sweet new screen options that the community has been asking for:

- Borderless Fullscreen Mode: You can now tab out of the game without minimizing it.

- Exclusive Fullscreen Mode: The old fullscreen mode. Switch back to this option if you have performance issues with the new borderless fullscreen mode!

- Enhanced Renderscale Support: Our renderscale only supported a maximum resolution of4096 x 4096. This leads to some confusion for UHD-1 (3840 x 2160) users, who experiencedn early no graphical gain when setting the renderscale to 200%. This has been fixed now, andthe users should be able to push the renderscale to 8192 × 8192. This means UHD-1 users can push it to UHD-2 (7680 x 4320) now.

- Zoom with Ultra-Wide-Screen: We heard your feedback and matched the zoom levels for ultra-wide-screen displays to those of all others displays. This might lead to graphical glitches on map borders, but we won't hold back what our community wants.

Furthermore, you can now use Tobii Eye Tracking in Desperados III to seamlessly aim, place markers, reveal view cones, zoom out and zoom in to where you are looking, interact, and center the camera view of where your focus is! If you don't know what Tobii Eye Tracking is, have a look at their website: https://gaming.tobii.com/games/desperados-3.

Also, the game will get 3 additional missions later this year with the season pass. We can't share any details on the DLCs yet, but they will feature some epic content. In addition, we are releasing another free content update in August, featuring more Baron's challenge bonus missions. And we will be adding Mac & Linux support this summer.

Have fun with the content update and let us know what you think!

Thanks!
Your teams from Mimimi Games & THQ Nordic

Just booted up first new Baron Challenge on hard with real-time showdown and that unfortunately doesn't seem to be the case. Character selected will pause doing whatever it is he was doing once player initiated showdown mode. From what I can tell it works exactly the same as on launch.

And unfortunately, characters still stand up by themselves after being ordered to carry a body via double click.

EDIT1. real time Showdown is fixed, but only on Desperado difficulty. Having it set in custom setting still results in old behaviour.

Will it be possible to get this additional content if you have not bought the game yet? e.g. when I buy it, will all this content be automatically included?

Baron missions are part of the base game. You will have it no matter when you buy it.

Thank you. I thought the base game had Baron's missions from release and that maybe this content was additional Baron's missions. Thanks for clarifying.

The only additional content to purchase is season pass which consists of 3 missions, which don't have a release date at this point.

Right, and they are different to the Baron's challenges, correct? How many Baron's challenges are there in total including the ones in the base game and the additional ones posted above?

[Burdpal]

There are currently 9 challenges on the main game, and they plan on making one for each level that doesn't already have one.

Thanks, how many of the levels are left after the four challenges that have just been released?

Finally a borderless mode. Thank you. This helps streaming the game by a lot.
