Important Information!
- Added Russian & Brazilian Portuguese localization
- Please make sure to remove / deactivate all your mods! Large updates will often conflict with existing mods, so mods may very well break the game if you don't deactivate them - leading to frequent crashes and / or other issues.
- This also means loading a save of a run where you had mods enabled will probably break.
- If you run into a bug, a list of known issues is available at the bottom of the Patch Notes
Class & Gameplay
- Added Ironman Mode to the difficulty setting. Ironman Mode can only be selected when you start a new campaign, and can't be turned off - you only get a single save file, and it gets deleted on a game over!
- Added the Sorcerer Class to the Character Creator (Draconic Bloodline, Mana Painter, Child of the Rift)
- Sorcerers have access to additional facial customizations, currently unavailable for other classes (but we're looking into it for the future!)
- Rangers can now replace one known spell when they level up
- Fixed Rangers sometimes not getting the correct favored enemy / terrain they selected at level 6
- Fixed Champion Fighter's 2nd fighting style overwriting the 1st at level 10
- Fixed Rogue missing their ASI at level 10
- Fixed not being able to level up as a wizard if you already knew all the spells available
- Fixed Fighters not being able to dash twice with Action Surge
- Fixed Paladins starting with javelins equipped instead of their longsword
- Fixed dwarves getting slowed by wearing heavy armor when their strength is below requirement
- Fixed Creed of Arun sharing the same text with Ambidextrous
Spells & Magic
- Spells can now be upcasted even if they don't scale. This option only appears when you're out of spell slots for that specific spell level
- Added Dominate Beast Spell (level 4)
- High CR Soraks can no longer be affected by Calm Emotion
- Fixed Aid not being dispelled when traveling on the World Map
- Fixed Aid sometimes making you lose health (wut?)
- Fixed Heroism Spell not displaying the correct values in the tooltip
- Fixed Heroism not working as it should
- Fixed Pass without Trace granting +20 instead of +10 on Stealth Checks, effectively rendering all enemies blind outside combat
- Detect Magic now keeps detecting magic as long as you concentrate on the spell. As opposed to, you know, only working when cast and then sit there pretending to be important, eating your concentration and sleeping on your couch.
- Fixed Bane not working as it should
- Fixed Slow granting a bonus to dex saving throws instead of a penalty… yeaaaaa…...
- Fixed Grease & Protection from Energy scaling with higher level spellslots since they are not supposed to
Items & Equipment
- Disabled auto-equip! Your party will no longer sneakily equip this random unidentified magical item lying on the ground. Most wise!
- Fixed an issue where the party chest would become unusable. Simply leave and re-enter Caer Cyflen to fix it.
- Fixed Tome of Understanding not being usable
- Fixed Potions using your concentration, that's not how it's supposed to work!
- Fixed an exploit where you could drop attuned items in chests while keeping the magic item's bonus… you sly dogs… Magic items now lose attunement when dropped in a container
- Fixed Staff of Metis not recharging at dawn
- Staff of Metis is now blue like it was originally intended to be, and now has a teensy bit of VFX as well!
- Fixed Primed Chain Shirt not being available in the Arcaneum Shop
- Fixed being able to drink Spider Venom as if it were a health potion. Weirdos.
- Fixed spells with multiple options (Eyebite, Fire Wall…) not working correctly when cast using scrolls or magic items
- Opening readable items should now correctly focus on the beginning instead of the end of the text. Because that's how you're supposed to read letters
- Fixed the Book of All Things' tooltip
- Fixed Encumbrance sometimes being wonky when splitting stack of items
- Fixed some scrolls not having the right icons
- Fixed being able to scribe a scroll and use magic items while being on a shop screen, which is fairly rude to the merchant (and also caused quite a few issues)
- Fixed Greataxe of Sharpness dealing 1d8 extra lightning damage
- Fixed some magic weapons giving double the bonus they were supposed to give
- Fixed Cog of Cohh again. Wishing him a pleasant trip to Eorzea!
Quests & Story
- Fixed being able to interact with the gem under the dragon if you had enough stealth in the Conjuration Main Quest, blocking progression as it teleported you before getting crucial information. If you had that bug, you must load a save before the event specified here to unblock yourself.
- Fixed Brok not being where Brok should be when party brings Axe to Brok. Brok apologizes, Brok got distracted.
- Brok and Kebra will no longer follow you if you leave the volcano right after freeing Brok
- The rotating bridge in the caves of Caer Lem now resets each time you enter the caves to avoid blocking a portion of the level. Who resets it? Uuuuhhhh I guess Soraks?
- Fixed a rare issue where Master Dackin would decide to take some vacations, and thus prevent the party from playing the Academic Background Quest
- Fixed Master Dackin being in two places at once after you complete the Academic Background Quest. It's simple. We kill the doppelganger.
- Fixed being unable to complete the Lowlife Background Quest if you cast Knock on the chest. Magic is cheating!
- Fixed Nel becoming very confused in the Lowlife Background Quest if your entire party attempted to open the chest repeatedly.
- Reworked a couple of cutscenes, notably fixing a couple of camera shots that used to show you walls instead of your party (it's art, you wouldn't understand it)
- Fixed some quest markers not pointing to the right place (damn NPCs are so unclear with their directions)
- Fixed the Legendary Quest completing before the end of the fight. Don't count your chickens before they hatch, folks.
- Maddy can no longer raise your faction points above 14 when you greet her, no matter how polite you are
- You can now leave the Legendary Quest location instead of being forced to finish it once you arrive to the temple
- Fixed a bug where a party member could get stuck after a cutscene in the Lawkeeper Background Quest
- Fixed a quest item sometimes not being interactable in the Goblin Culture side quest
- Fixed the Spider Queen sometimes appearing as both dead and alive after loading a save (Schrodinger's Spider, much scarier than his cat)
- Fixed a very rare bug where your crown could disappear if the wearer was over encumbered at a very specific moment in the game
Monsters & Combat
- Fixed Bonus Action spells incorrectly using a Main Action when cast to start a fight (often seen with Hunter's Mark)
- Fixed an issue with Minotaurs being stuck in their charge animation sometimes
- Fixed death fall animation on elementals
- A dying character will no longer roll -1 on their death saving throw when receiving damage. Negative values on a D20 are not a thing (yet)
- Fixed a couple of combat animations that were looking weird
- Fixed a rare freeze when multiple groups of creatures would try to start combat at the same time. Everyone, get in here!
- Fixed a rare bug where you could break the game by killing the last enemy in a fight with Spiritual Weapon or Flaming Sphere right before a cutscene triggers
- Fixed one poor Fire Elemental being stuck in a particular fight in Lava Forest
- Fixed some monsters not correctly looping their idle animation in the bestiary
Exploration & Misc.
- Characters with very low Constitution modifier will no longer lose HP when doing a short rest (minimum healing is still 0 though, as per RAW)
- Fixed not being to fly over small gaps in some locations such as inside the Tirmarian Tower (Caer Lem). If you find other places where this happens, send us a screenshot and tell us where that is!
- Fixed a potential crash when entering / leaving / re-entering Earcorn location
- Party members would sometime say the same thing at the same time when clicking an interactable item while exploring. This should now be fixed.
- Relaxed camera restrictions in planar mode when mouse pointer is above non traversable terrain (like death pits or outside playable area)
- Fixed a rare bug where the Victory text would stay in the middle of the screen after combat. Because it's a little hard to play like that.
- Added Environmental VFX in many locations
- Added missing audio in a couple of places
- Fixed large squares showing up when targeting Lava Bulbs
- Fixed some lighting issues in a couple of locations
- Fixed a couple of clipping issues with hair & armor
- Fixed some doors not being openable even though they were highlighted when pressing ALT
- Fixed some doors appearing as locked on the blueprint map even after being opened
Dungeon Maker
- Added 2 campaigns made by Tactical Adventures (Dun Cuin & Caer Falcarn) to the Dungeon Maker folder for new players & modders. Note that if you delete them, they are also available in the Steam Workshop if you want to re-download them at a later date.
- Added the Sewer Environment to the Dungeon Maker
- Added the Woodland Environment to the Dungeon Maker

- Fixed name filter not working correctly in the Dungeon Maker chests & monster spawners
- Fixed an issue that would corrupt characters when exported at the end of a Dungeon Maker map when they would be attuned to magic items or have an active magical effect on a worn item (like Light)
- Fixed being unable to upload a Dungeon Maker Map if you already uploaded it and deleted it from the Steam Workshop previously
- Added Mod.io support for non-Steam versions of Solasta
And for those who didn't get to see it yet, check out our Dungeon Maker Trailer! More features to come :)
Known Issues
- Opening your inventory via the spell "Identify", then opening another tab (spells, skills...) and then coming back to inventory will prevent clicking on the items to identify (but why would you do that?). Simply cancel the spell and cast it again if that happens to you.
- Hector, the pre-made Sorcerer, somehow knows Guiding Bolt twice (one for each hand). Unfortunately since Guiding Bolt is outside of regular Sorcerers' jurisdiction, you won't be able to unlearn it either. We'll be fixing that soon, but know that if you do decide to start an adventure with this version of Hector, he'll have two Guiding Bolts until the end (as we can't change the spell list of characters that are already in an adventure). Still, you can love him nonetheless.
- We uh... we broke the spell Protection from Energy. Just don't use it, it's not going to do anything when cast. Sorry, we'll be working on fixing it asap.
- We have noted an issue that can happen while in combat - some attack buttons may sometimes disappear at random during combat. When that happens, you may become unable to load save files (it will give you "data corruption" error), but re-starting the game will fix that (your saves aren't actually corrupted, the message is just wrong). We are already working on a fix that should be available in the upcoming days.
