Vienna/Bremen: Developer KING Art Games continue work on The Dwarves.
A new patch has been released for Xbox One to improve performance, whilst a larger update is currently in development that will bring a few fan requests to the game.
With yesterday’s patch, the following problems have been fixed to make the game run smoother:
- ● Fixed a bug that under certain circumstances overtaxed the audio processor, resulting in stutter or freezes at some locations
- ● Fixed possible audio distortions in a few locations
- ● Fixed lag spikes that could occur in random locations, for example Mifurdania Marketplace or outside of Lot-Ionan’s Vault
- ● Fixed a glitch that could make it hard to select a waypoint on the world map without getting sick
To further address performance issues – especially during loading times on console – KING Art is currently checking if a new version of the Unity game engine will shorten the time needed to load locations and still guarantee gameplay stability. This next bigger update is either arriving as a christmas present or very early 2017 and will enhance all versions of the game on all plattforms.
The Dwarves offers massive-scale, tactical battles in real-time and a brand new, physics-based “crowd combat system”, to let the players feel the thrill of fighting hundreds of enemies with only a small bunch of heroes (no pun intended).
Besides the challenging combat, players can dive into a deep story, based on the best-selling ‘The Dwarves’ series of novel by Markus Heitz.
The Dwarves is available NOW for PC, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One at a retailer near you or as a digital download.
