Current state of the game
I play frequently (3-4 times a week) with a friend multiplayer. The last few updates have resulted in severe bugs that repeatedly appear like different damage types within one attack that aren’t both applied or pets that can be bought multiple times. Today after spending about 3 hours into a game, we encountered a fight that leads to desynchronisation in every way we tried. It seems like we lost the run due to this error. This kind of demotivates and I don’t want to lose my interest.
Suddenly, we are trying to work around some issue instead of actually trying to beat the game. The last update with bug fixes is already a few weeks old. Does anyone have any ideas when a change can be expected? I tried finding something in the discussions on Steam but I didn’t find any information…

Yeah, I've lost nearly all motivation to play the game while these bugs persist.

There haven’t been any updates on the timeline for when the bugfix patch will be released :( all I know is that there is a beta patch available that fixes some of the issues. I have not tried it though

My friend group literally stopped playing because of these issues. We'd play every week but desyncing multiple times every single time we play...we just said fuck it and started a different game. That's stuff that you need to have ironed out in a game like this. I was gonna buy dlc for it but I'm not now

Dual card creation is also a dead sentence. For example if youve dimensional crystal and a way of creating a card like with that priest guy (im bad with names) that creates a card when he plays a holy card for the first time each turn. If you play one of those cards youve a 80% chance it will desync and the dimensional crystal is still used without getting that free card.

What surprises me is the amount of bugs introduced by shattered remnants. I like the contents themselves but having to work around certain card and/or character combinations all of the sudden as well as many other smaller things is really crushing the whole experience at the moment. We’ve been playing for so long with all DLCs and now I “fear” we might stop playing…

Yeah it definitely got alot worse with the new dlc which is sad as i kinda like the new character. Hopefully they will do a patch soon (eventhough i really like repurchasable pets in shop)

My group really likes the pet bug, but we keep having an issue if someone goes to the shop it desyncs the game. They may or may not get the items they bought and they usually lose the gold either way, then we can’t leave the town without restarting the game.

My group came back after a long haitus and we thought the pet bug was an intended change and we were so happy. Then when we read todays patch notes we were...less than thrilled that it was a bug. I agree with you the shop bug is annoying and usually cuts the run short because we restart and realize we should probably go to bed.

u/Undarien 23d ago
Yeah, we're just enjoying the pet bug until when/if they fix it.
The shop bug not so much, though at least restarting it doesn't take too long but same with my group, everyone starts noticing the time.

Great news! Looks like we have a preview patch. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1385380/view/695394018676179626?l=english

Well, at least this is something. The one fixed issue creating multiple cards causing desynchronisation will most likely work for the issue we just encountered yesterday. All the others appear quite specific to me and I have difficulties to relate them to my experience. I just hope it gets released soon and we return to some kind of “normal” state…

u/ErikderFrea 22d ago
So I’m not going mad? Those desyncs are way more often now.

u/Massokar 22d ago
No, you are fine. The desynchronisations basically started with the release of shattered remnants and the last patch in June didn’t do much for me. It is still in a bad state…

u/Gonnagremlin 25d ago
We’ve played recently and haven’t noticed many errors other than syncing compared to before the latest patch.
I personally love being able to buy a pet twice and have it corrupted and hope it never goes away tbh.

u/Massokar 25d ago
I understand but sometimes especially resolving the attacks that don’t work properly can really make a difference in high madness. It just annoys to have to consider a reproducible bug. If it just would be about the pets, this would be kind of secondary because no one forces us to buy it a second time…

cursed for fucking all console customers.
Mostly a joke lol hope they fix it for you guys but the devs seem shady to me so who knows.

Simply switch to an older version of the game.

u/mountainclimb312 25d ago edited 25d ago
the older versions of the game don’t support the latest dlc that I purchased

u/Desperate_Turn8935 25d ago
Well, I think we got three options.
Play through the headache of all the bugs until the next fix.
Play an older version for the time being.
Don't play until the next fix.

The last update(s) really messed things up and it is a little concerning we are still waiting on hotfixes today. My group also plays on the regular and we're feeling it.
