Hey everyone, thank you for your patience as we work through the set of bugs that appeared with version 1.0.

This patch will fix some of the most major issues players were running into, but there are a few stragglers we’ll have to pick up later such as the ‘floating structures’ bug.

Forcing updates

It’s important to know that during this time, as we synch updates across iOS and Steam, the only way you can receive this patch is by forcing the update in your Steam client.

##New feature

Faeria will now mute sounds while in background, and there is an option to disable this new behavior in the audio settings

Bug fixes

‘Double harvesting’ should no longer occur

Mythic Chests now properly displaying avatars that you open.

Gabrian Archon is now working correctly

Altar of Souls cost is now correct

Chat won’t crash anymore when using /m and /w commands followed by another player’s name

[Steam client] Password recovery won’t make the game crash anymore when clicking “OK”

[Steam client] Various Steam crashes should not occur anymore

Rewards you would receive during a tutorial won’t pop until the tutorial end is reached

Spectators should now properly see “Player X’s turn” at each new turn instead of only “Your turn” when it’s the spectated player’s turn

Spectators won’t hear a constant humming sound anymore

Coupons awarding 1 battle chest or 1 mythic chest can be redeemed back again

RAM performance improvements

The “Your turn” messages are now smoother/faster

##Server restart, tomorrow at around 10am CET

There are a couple bug fixes that we cannot implement without restarting the servers completely. Therefore, tomorrow we’ll be restarting all Faeria servers at around 10am CET. Expected downtime is 20 minutes.

Bug fixes upon next restart

Minichests will reward 10G less often

We’ve heard a lot of feedback on the new reward system, but we want to be clear on the fact that the 10g rewards which are currently received so often from mini-chests is actually a bug, and in general you are intended to receive more on average. We’ll talk more about the reward system in tomorrow’s Faeria Friday, but here is a summary post where we share some more philosophy behind the changes.

We’ll be fixing it so you cannot buy a cosmetic item in the shop if you got it from a Mythic Chest before.

Missing from yesterday’s patch notes: Pandora reward adjustments

With all of the new changes from version 0.96 to 1.0, some things fell through the cracks and didn’t make the patch notes. One of those important things was the following:

Pandora games now reward the same mini-chest after each win as in constructed, and therefore all Pandora rewards have been reduced by 100 gold each.

Keep in mind, Pandora rewards before this version included the old amount of gold for each win within the Pandora prize itself. You didn’t get an extra screen where you received gold for a win - now you do. That is the reason for this change, and sorry we didn’t explain it earlier.

Here is a list of updated Pandora Rewards.

iOS fixes

We are currently waiting on approval for an iOS version that should fix many of the crashes players are experiencing. Sorry for the wait!
