RANDOM GAME CRASHES

• If you are playing on an Xbox Series controller, please update your controller’s firmware through the Xbox Accessories app. There is a known issue with the Desktop Windows Manager and the older firmware that will cause an assortment of programs to crash (not just RL2).
  *A big thank you to the community for pointing us in the right direction on this one.
  
  
• The other cause appears to come from incorrectly overclocked GPUs and overheating GPUs. Please try disabling any overclocking options in your GPU driver software, and to help with overheating we have included a new Limit Max FPS option in the Graphics Settings.
  
  
• Still randomly crashing? Don’t forget we have an OpenGL graphics API to help mitigate this. In order to play the OpenGL version, in the game’s Launch Options (found in the Properties on Steam and in your Account Settings on Epic under Additional Command Line Arguments), add the following line: -force-glcore32
  

PATCH HIGHLIGHTS

• It’s a Wild World: As you venture deeper into the depths of Rogue Legacy 2, the challenge expectedly creeps up to match. What we didn’t want though, was a sudden wall of difficulty that gamers slam into and could not overcome. That appears to be the case for some of the later biomes, so we’re taking another look at biome difficulty scaling. The Sun Tower is now more forgiving with easier to hit (and harder to get hit by) windmills, reduced platforming struggles, and a sweet gold bonus. The Pishon Dry Lake is also now brighter, and enemies that are dashing towards the player off-screen are highlighted with an icon similar to incoming projectiles (no more cheap shots!).
  
  
• More Quality, Better Life: A lot of great suggestions from the community have been made regarding how to improve the overall feel for RL2. And while we can’t get everything requested in, we did try to include some major ones, like playing music while paused, mouse-clickable pause menu tabs, more leniency when contact damage is disabled, and right-stick menu movement when shopping.
  
  
• The Balancing Act Continues: We’ve put all systems through the ringer with this update, and almost nothing has been left untouched. Along with the biome improvements, we’re tweaking Traits, Economy, Skills, Relics, and more. It’s nothing major, but coupled with the quality of life additions we’re hoping this goes a long way towards better playability in general.
  
  
• Wand vs. Gun: While we were happy with the power levels of the Gunslinger and Mage when Rogue Legacy 2 released in version 1.0, we couldn’t help but feel we could improve their play rates. Oftentimes players would choose easier classes that dealt similar damage, so we’ve bumped up their numbers and added more utility to their kits to match their complex playstyles.

GAME CRASHING FREQUENTLY?

PATCH HIGHLIGHTS

• Fixing Flicks: We’ve received a number of reports about players turning direction when the controller joystick snaps back. The deadzone values in the game settings helps mitigate this, but it increases the amount you need to press for all directions, which can cause sluggishness. So we’ve gone back and implemented a comprehensive anti-joystick flick system to make RL2 even more responsive than before.
  
  
• Dragon Lancer Redesign: A lot of players are really enjoying the variety of classes, however one class in particular is being left by the wayside. We’ve done a minor redesign to the poor Dragon Lancer to make it more viable and a bit more Dragon Lance-y. Hopefully players that avoided the Dragon Lancer will give it a second shot, while those that already liked the class will like it even more!
  
  
• Relic and Traits Buffs: Having so many people playing Rogue Legacy 2 was like getting months of feedback all at once. Through involved discussions on various forums, to watching gamers use them first-hand, we’ve gone back to the Relic and Traits and made a bunch of tweaks to improve the balance.
  
  
• Economy Update: Much like the Relics and Traits, we’ve paid attention to where people are having trouble with collecting resources. So we’re taking another stab at where we can make changes so that people don’t feel like they’re not progressing. Basically, a bunch of stuff is now cheaper.
  
  
• Trading Cards: We apologize for the delay, but Trading Cards are now live on Steam!
  

TURNING AND THE STICK FLICK PROBLEM

• Implemented a new “Flick Stick check” into player inputs to prevent players randomly turning.
  
• Raised the default deadzone from 0.25 -> 0.4. If you were below this value, it’ll bump you up. You can lower this back down to 0.25 after this patch if you wanted.
  
• Made Left Stick take priority over Right Stick while aiming (fixes an issue for players not being able to aim if they have a very loose Right Stick).
  

ECONOMY

• Ore scaling increased (speed at which ore drops go up as room level raises).
  
• Bonus Ore from Gold chests increased from 150% to 200%.
  
• Bonus Ore from Silver chests increased from 50% to 60%
  
• Commanders Ore base drop rate and scaling rate increased.
  

• Base cost and scaling for Tier 1 Armor, Focus and Dexterity skills slightly reduced.
  
• Base cost and scaling for Tier 2 Armor, Focus and Dexterity skills moderately reduced.
