This update sucks

[esx9]

This is a regression, not a progression. We're moving back into Beta territory. Our group is all having bugs with moving (alt-tab to fix), bugs with upgrading cards, bugs with player soft-lock, we've all had to restart in the middle of a session. And the camera sucks more now. All our Steam profile images have been replaced with random colours, ones we can't even choose. Just check out the steam forums for 1001+ bugs reports but we get a few small fixes related to controller support. Disappointing in so many ways.

Agreed, the question is no longer 'Frosthaven when?' but rather 'Can we just get a working Gloomhaven back?'

agree soft lock while attacking with elementalist because of formless power time and time again

Surely the devs who created the game aren't the same devs working on this last update.

That's what's being said on the discord--this was an outside dev team brought to work on the console version. So they basically F'd the game to all hell for PC, and then released the update without even realizing what they did. Which is frankly insane if true, but of course it's obvious no testing was done on PC prior to rollout.

I am going to miss playing this game

That's correct. Flaming Fowl were dropped after the solo scenarios were added. Since then Saber Interactive have been doing the ports to console and have updated the PC version to match. I assume they've done some testing, but they've not been active on the Gloomhaven Discord nor used the beta testers that Flaming Fowl did (me being one of them).

This is a very buggy release. We desynchronized 5 times in 2 hours. And each time, one character with the bird/curse mask lost their recovered items but got the curse and the mask was down.

We rebooted and that helped nothing. Please fix these network problems faster than the last time (It was broken about 8 months last time).

These are *basic* errors that should have turned up with even the *lightest* testing.

Roll it back until these bugs are fixed.

They said something about a rolling back branch for multiplayer in their post here https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/780290/view/3746488274492648511?l=english

The game can't show card selections at random times. The attack draw counter gets hidden behind card selection. The enchanting is broken. I had the game screen lock me looking trying to look at my trainer. The burned cards didn't show burned on listings so I missed when to time my burn card recovery. Items get auto-binded for mercenaries I never wanted for them for both store purchases and quest rewards. The game is lagging the longer its open or at least accumulated turns taken. The game actually fully steam crashed during a start turn that broke a save that even the game's own popup report showed up. Graphic glitches. And still no way for backup saves in-case this might corrupt the current game.

That's unfortunate as Flaming Fowl did an amazing job at translating Gloomhaven to Digital.

What sad news..

At this point I think they should roll back to last working version on pc. Don't know why most dev teams never roll back updates, Larian did it with baldurs gate 3 some weeks ago so it's possible.....

[Lunaedge]

I just lost a scenario because of some stupid design changes. When selecting an enemy to attack, the options that pop up WERE, from left to right, Undo -> Confirm -> Skip Attack. For whatever reason they've swapped the Undo and Skip Attack buttons and led to me skipping two burn card attacks. Having gotten to basically the final levels of the Guildmaster Campaign, I've sunk in 70+ hours with the previous configuration. Why on earth would this be changed now???

I don't really want to nitpick, but I feel like the current situation is at least partly Flaming Fowl's (and the two publishers') "fault". The whole console port / cross-platform standardization started with a buggy, un-optimized PC game that still had tons of well-documented bugs and performance issues still untouched after many months / years.

I feel that had the PC version been properly stabilized and optimized before starting this expansion into the console markets, the results could have probably been more favorable. As far as I know, Saber Interactive is not a small or inexperienced developer, so I would assume they should be capable of meeting reasonable publisher expectations...

Yeah, saber interactive has different studios, but overall, they always release good games...I'm actually a fan of them.

Also notice that the CM on discord told me that you actually can rollback the update in steam options now :-)

[Muzed]

@El_pipitas how do you rollback?
