In late April, the developers returned to King's Bounty: The Legend again. They are currently testing a beta update and have released a "final hotfix" for it:
This hotfix is dedicated to the final touches and minor improvements. We carefully reviewed all your comments regarding achievements, corrected their behavior and how they are obtained, and polished the game interface where possible.
The developers said that they are now ready to transfer all changes to the main branch of the game. However, they first want to know the community's opinion on the future of the game — they suggest players answer a few questions.
- What do you think the main version of the game should look like next?
- Would you prefer the game to remain exactly as it is now - untouched, in the form you remember it? Or should the updated version become standard, without the need to connect to the beta branch?
Some fixes, improvements, and new features:
- Added a configuration file that allows you to configure scanning saves for unissued achievements at game start. It contains the parameter setf ~bg_scan X, where a value of 1 enables this function, and a value of 0 disables it. This file will be located in the game folder.
- For 1920x1200 resolution, the description field for the mage class has been corrected so that the text fits completely within it.
- The Defeat window has been redesigned to look more attractive and user-friendly.
- Victory and New Game screens have been improved for ultrawide resolutions.
- For 16:9 aspect ratio and ultrawide resolutions, the issue where the coin icon might not appear after high prices (long numbers) has been fixed.
- Fixed the display of the "Equipment" inscription in shops that are not a city or castle.
- For 16:9 aspect ratio resolutions, the display of long enemy names in combat has been fixed.
- The loading bar on the loading screen has been fixed for 16:9 aspect ratio resolutions.
- The "One-Punch Man" achievement now takes into account all damage modifiers, buffs, and debuffs.
- Improved the accuracy of determining the necessary thresholds for achievements: "Bookworm", "The Mage Who Lived", "Almost a God", "Shepherd", "Commander", "Scourge of God", "God of War", "Bachelor", "Master", "Mr. Doctor".
- Improved detection of visiting the Ultrax location.
