Age of Wonders 4 - PC Hotfix - 04/05/2023
To my fellow Godir,
First off, we want to thank you for the awesome release! It’s been amazing seeing so many of you finally getting your hands on the game. Many of you have been able to enjoy the game as we intended but there have been difficulties along the way.
Over the past few days we’ve been hard at work to address the most common issues that have popped up. The people on the Hotfix branch have been incredibly helpful in tracking down the Graphics Driver issues and we’re now confident in rolling out the fixes at large.
For users with the NVIDIA Graphics cards defined below, that have experienced frequent crashes, we have added a Driver Workaround setting. This setting will be automatically enabled for the affected users and should alleviate the most commonly experienced crashes.
May your Pantheons Thrive
