Connection Issue Indicators

We also added performance indicators to help you better understand the connection issues you may encounter. Here is how they currently work.

 

Character Saves and the Character Collection

We have updated how characters created in the Character Editor are saved.

You can now choose between Apply and Save.

Selecting Apply applies your changes and returns you to party setup without adding the character to your Character Collection.
Selecting Save applies your changes, adds the character to your Character Collection, and returns you to party setup. 

The Save option applies the changes and adds the character to the Character Collection
Save: apply the changes without adding the character to your Character Collection.
The Apply option applies the changes without adding the character to the Character Collection
Apply: apply the changes and add the character to your Character Collection.


Before you head out to experience the new content available, please have a thorough read below to find all details about:

  • Alternative Steam branches in case of major blockers
  • Understanding issues we already know of and will try to fix as soon as possible (thanks for your patience!)
  • A complete (and long!) list of all things fixed, added or improved since the last major update, last June!

Previousversion and Beta branches

Previousversion branch

While your save files should remain compatible with the new update, you have the possibility of rolling back to the previous version if you’re running into issues that did not occur previous to Update 1 release (simply bear in mind that the game will be playable solo only and without the new warlock class). To do so, simply right click on Solasta II in your Steam Library and select Properties, then go to the Game Versions & Betas tab and select previousversion.

Beta branch

Following the same process as described above, you can choose this version instead, especially if you encounter either of the following issues with Update 1 Default version:

  1. You experience infinite loading screens upon leaving for the Worldmap
  2. Characters can't move on their first turn if they ambush the enemies
  3. You experience crashes upon rejoinin the session after quitting and relaunching the game

This version of the game should get you going!

Just make sure you go back to the Default public version at some point, otherwise you won’t get the newest hotfixes later on!

 

Known Issues

For the latest information about known issues and available workarounds, please refer to the Solasta II Known Issues document. If you encounter a bug, you can report it using the dedicated bug-reporting feature on the Solasta Support page.
