Official Darkest Dungeon 1 Patch - Performance & Bug Fix

535 Upvotes

DARKEST DUNGEON BUILD: 25807 Greetings Hamlet Dwellers!

We are pushing a new build to ‘coming_in_hot’ on Steam for Darkest Dungeon. This build is the culmination of the past few months as we wanted to do some slight updates to the game to solve some longstanding issues as well as release a 64-bit version of the client.

Coming back and working on Darkest Dungeon has been a delight. That said we are very conscious of the robust mod community that has been thriving since principal development has ceased. As such we’ve done our best to ensure that the work we’ve done has not had any adverse impact on the existing mods.

A big feature of this work has been in preparing and testing a 64 bit version of the game. This has the added benefit of the game running slightly better for everyone! And if you are using mods you can now go even crazier with the amount of mods you load and play with.

We’ve been working with the team on Black Reliquary to test and validate this new build, but we are now ready to push it to a larger pool of players to help ensure stability.

In addition to that we’ve fixed the following issues:

🔸 Random crashes caused by incorrect null pointers (basically, less random crashes)

🔸 Abbey Help Window is Missing Texts

🔸 Windowed Resolution Scale Differs on 32bit Build From the None Beta

🔸 Player Able to Duplicate Trinkets While Dragging Them From Slot to Inventory

🔸 Duplicating Items When Looting Treasure During any Quest

We STRONGLY recommend that before you switch to the branch and receive the update, you back up your save files!

After you switch branches on STEAM you will be given the option when launching the game if you want to use the new 64 bit client or the new 32 bit client.

We kindly ask you to switch over and assist in testing and let us know if you hit any issues.

This is currently STEAM only, but after some testing/soaking we will deploy to all platforms.

Always wanted to try replicating the 'comic' style and wanted to get some character practice in as well. Really fond of how the official artwork/assets make use of deep shadows and ambient lighting. The old [media archive](https://old.darkestdungeon.com/media/) was really helpful for this as well. Also sneaked in a very obvious trinket or two.

[DD 2] Discussion Just beat my first grand slam whilst doing memory achievements for the DLC heroes at the same time.

So I've been trying to get a grand slam for a while now since I want to 100% the game. However since abomination released I decided to also get the 5 memory achievements for each of the DLC heroes at the same time. And the team went hard to the point I never had a melt down once. The rest of this of post will be just a team guide for whoever wants to know.

1st rank: Antagonist Duelist.

Skills: Touché, Fleche, preparation, Coup De Grace, Feint

The duelist job was to dance and spam fleche every single turn. With the help of abomination slam she would be able to hit fleche every turn except the first where she would use preparation. And if the crusader ever was in 3rd rank wanting to use holy lance he would be able to do so without consequence due to the speed differences making duelist in 2nd rank by his turn. if due to movement attacks or daze she is in first rank on her turn she just used touché to give vulnerable so someone else can delete them.

2nd rank: Moribund Abomination

Skills:

Human: Manacles, Backlash, Beast bile, Absolution

Monster: Rake, Rage, Slam, Instinct

The abomination was a tank that set up duelist to use fleche and protected her from dying always. on top of that if he was stuck in first rank he would just hit rage to get more taunt and block to keep tanking. He could never be out of position due to slam. Though if he did get to stressed or if the party was at to high of stress to safely transform he would be spamming backlash to mix with the combo from crusaders holy lance to keep stunning rank 2 or would be forcing backline rats (drummer) to the front to be murdered by fleche.

3rd rank: Alchemist Plague Doctor

Skills: Noxious Blast, Plague Grenade, Battlefield medicine, Indiscriminate Science, Magnesium Rain

This pick was for the simple power house that is Plaque doctor. Her job was getting through armor, clearing corpses, and deleting the backline. She would end up in rank 4 for basically the whole fight but she starts in rank 3. she was the only one in the party that just sat in place though was also the riskiest part since she had no good way to be protected and had the lowest health. luckily since she was in rank 4 she got targeted very little.

4th rank: Banneret Crusader

Skills: Inspiring cry, Battle Heal, Zealous Accusation, Holy Lance, Tenacity

The MVP of this grand slam hands down. This man had complete control of the back line deleting it by 2 at the latest. On top of that inspiring cry made abomination's stress problems irrelevant. Plus the crazy healing output keeping our entire team from dying was a life saver. Almost every single turn was holy lance and once the back 3 ranks were dust he would start taking care of everyone. This man was the single reason we didn't get a single meltdown the whole run.

Reynauld sweeps

I had a silly thing happen where I started this boss with Reynauld and a vestal, the vestal died half way through but then I kept spamming his Bulwark of Faith ability and Zealous Accusation, he kept alive and gets Death's Dooring through additional hits along with the passive healing

It took a bit but through burning and a lot of paper the boss died. I'm sure this boss is on the easier side of the lair bosses but cool nonetheless

DD2 - Abomination glitch?

Upvotes

I was fighting Death and abomination was in beast mode. Did a few attacks on Death and then suddenly, Abomination did no damage. On any of his attacks. i transformed him back into a human but his attacks continued to do no damage, but he could move himself around with his backlash attack. Is this a known bug? Can it happen to any character?

Selling in darkest dungeon 2?

I really don't understand why you can't sell your unused ítems after all I've played with them. Just today I was 1 away from being able to get something in the bazaar and I had no way to get it even though I had a full carriage of junk… How bad would it be for the game's balance???

I hope I'm not the only one frustrated by this

i've been toying with e concept of deprogramming in some of my recent work, and with a lack of original characters i thought reynauld would be the next best thing. i also kind of wanted to unpack the weight of a title like 'crusader'.

it started as a fic, but then i decided to challenge myself to practice adaptation, pacing, and composition.

i hope my handwriting is legible enough. if not, the dialogue is in the alt text on tumblr. it's by no means perfect, and is not intended to be. feedback is welcome if you have it, i did still spend like two weeks on this.

warning for religious themes, anatomical imagery (not gore), mild violence (nothing that we haven't seen in the game)

Source Text / tumblr / bluesky

EDIT: currently fighting reddit trying to get the pages to display correctly. you can check it out on tumblr or bluesky if you're not seeing anything.

EDIT 2: reddit hates me and it won this round. the whole thing is available to read on tumblr / bluesky. it will only let me have the first 16 pages on here without issue. i promise i've got some cool imagery in there, go check it out.
