I guess I don't get the point. Where's the money? I've got like 400 hours on the game, I quite liked it, but I also haven't loaded it up since... uh.. 2013. Wouldn't efforts be better served on improving the current product or making a new one that lives up to the original? This kinda smells of 'we messed up repeatedly so now we're trying to re-light the magic of the original!' Spark's gone, not likely to come back. And if the lobbies are as dead as people here are indicating you're not going to get new players, more so with how old the game is at this point.

I might install this and check it out, but I'd have been more likely to slap down another $30 and buy DLC characters on a well done modern version of this game. Best of luck, but I just dont' get it.

Why are people so confused about the fact this is not the official development team? Ya'll should learn how to read

I never understood why the makers of this game have tried severall times to "reboot" or "remaster" DD1 but always end up abandoning the project and returning to the original game...
I am still banned on DD1 for cheating, i think it was 4 years ago i did that.
But unlike going to prison, Game bans are almost always permanent....
Funny how if i rob a store or rape someone i get less of a punishment in time than if i cheat in a game.

Your only punishment was to not been able to play DD1. Although very often it's permanent you can be as stupid to compare with rob or rape. Sorry but feels like you did not learn your lesson and therefore I believe they should keep your ban.

They banned people? For cheating on a game with no PvP? Jesus, what were you trying to protect? The six legit players?

Cool update, might even check it out. But banning folks for skipping the tedium in your game design... that really doesn't feel right.

I am one of the six legit players and can confirm I do not care about the cheaters (the ones I've encountered just dropped items, it was optional to pick up and they weren't ever obnoxious although only encountered them back in 360 days), they made the game fun, a welcome surprise whenever one showed up

Why are you updating this when DD2 REALLY needs some attention? What a joke.

Ehh, from my experience with DD2, I'd definitely say it is a better use of their time to work on DD1 given how much DD2 was different from DD1 (and not in a good way)

Uh, you're wiping saves? Bold choice.

To me, it doesn't look like they're actually wiping the saves. They're just saying that once you update to this version, you won't be able to go back to an older version. So your save will still be intact unless you try to go back to older versions.

Yeah, that's what they meant. The wording is a little too easy to misinterpret if you're just glancing over the patch notes.

No banning me wont change me, you could say its me not "learning a lesson" but i dont think banning people will change anything than their bank account balance.
However i believe myself to have changed in that time in another way. I dont miss cheating, i just miss the gameplay of DD1. Was great fun grinding through every difficulty and map untill i could do it with my eyes closed, definetly a game worth the money for the amount of time you can spend on it.
Cheating was my way of making the game more fun when i had done most things in the game. Playing with my friends and helping them level up or just helping randoms. Ofcourse it isnt "legit" but the people i met and helped when i was cheating were very thankfull and some of them i still know today.

I'm not saying likening restriction from accessing a server for a multiplayer videogame isn't a false equivalence to real-life imprisonment, but their banning policies are at the least objectively medieval. It would make more sense to mark violators' profiles with a tag, and let the players decide whether violators should be allowed to join their game, or whether to join games created by violators. It would of course mean the violator tag would have to proliferate because playing with someone who's progress is not legitimate would also make your own progress no longer legitimate, but that should still be up to the players.

Although, it isn't like being banned means you can't play anymore. It only means you can't connect to their server. You can still play local or on private servers. There are players like myself who can't play on the server not for any banning, but because of bugs they never fixed, and evidently never will. The creators don't give a damn about the player experience, they only care that you dumped your money on them. If, for any reason, you can't use the multiplayer feature, then you still got at least a single-player game out of it. Who can blame them? That is what Steam has turned the videogame industry into. Nobody has to be accountable for the quality or integrity of their products anymore.

Any way to make the "native 4k support" stop using letterbox, or was this another faux-k update like we see with many an older game these days?

I agree, that is a great system and idea, but most games are like this, not only DD1 (I don't know of any game with temp bans for cheating but this system I would say is much better)

Update with bugs.
In the game menu, when i select a character, the character itself visually disappears, except for the pet.
When I add a character through f3-f5, all my HUD starts to flicker.
No settings in the game fix the situation. Reinstalling didn't help either.
All drivers are up to date.
Does anyone know a solution to the problems?

Disable antialiasing for dungeon defenders on your graphic's card control panel

I turned off FXAA in the global setting in nvidia control panel and now the problem is gone.
Thanks for the help!

Glad to see more updates coming out! keep up the great work.
