Patch 1.7 - Rocksteady Resolve Update!
Greetings, Dark Envoy faithful!We're thrilled to announce the release of Patch 1.7 - Rocksteady Resolve Update, a significant step forward in our ongoing commitment to enhancing your Dark Envoy experience and ultimately delivering Dark Envoy version 2.0 later this year. As we pledged in our previous communication regarding stability, this update directly addresses critical issues and introduces a host of improvements based on your feedback.Steadfast Resolve Against Freezes and CrashesOur primary focus with the Rocksteady Resolve Update has been on tackling the most frustrating issues reported by our community: game freezes and crashes. We understand how disruptive these can be, and we've dedicated significant resources to identifying and eliminating the root causes. This patch includes fundamental fixes aimed at providing a much more stable and reliable gameplay experience for everyone. Your patience and detailed reports have been instrumental in this effort, and we thank you for helping us make Dark Envoy more robust.Polishing Your Experience: From Localization to UIFollowing the successful implementation of Italian localization in May, we've taken the opportunity to conduct a comprehensive pass on all other languages. Beyond the general polish, we've specifically added missing translations for numerous in-game elements, including skill popups, weight tiers, controller buttons, and unique item descriptions, ensuring a truly localized experience.To further enhance your localized experience, from now on, when you launch Dark Envoy for the first time, the game will automatically detect your system's language settings. If we've localized the game into that language, it will launch directly in your preferred language, saving you the hassle of manually changing it!Beyond translation, you'll notice several quality-of-life improvements throughout Dark Envoy, including streamlined game menu, enhanced UI and character customization refinements.Patch NotesVersion: 1.7.0.73927; download size: 25.7 GBMajor Improvements:Fixed the edge case with the game freezing during line of sight calculations for enemies.Resolved the issue with the game freezing during shutdown due to unloading audio banks, causing the players to force quit the process using task manager.Improved asset bundle packing strategy, which results in lower memory consumption as well as shortened loading times.

We're immensely grateful for your continued support for Dark Envoy. This update is a direct reflection of our dedication to providing you with the best possible experience.
