| Changed | Hotfix #70 | To honor our commitment to loyal Blacksmith supporters who purchased the game before it became available on a mainstream platform, we will ensure that those players will still have the chance to switch their account to a mainstream platform if they choose to do so. Players who purchased the Dark and Darker Standard / Founders: Hold the Line Edition on our Blacksmith platform before 9:00 PM UTC on June 7, 2024 (the day we launched the free-to-play version on the Epic Games Store and Steam) and have still not moved over to another platform will have a one-time opportunity to switch their account to the Epic Game Store or Steam platform of their choice (further details will be announced later). We appreciate your understanding as we aim to fulfill our commitment to loyal customers and improve the overall shopping experience for our global audience. | Nov 14, 2024 |
| Changed | Hotfix #50 | This hotfix fixes some pesky bugs to ensure a smooth final week of the leaderboards. The new inventory system gives us renewed confidence as we shift gears on preparing for the next season. We have been working hard on the new wipe which will start a new chapter for Dark and Darker. It will be the start of the vision where instead of bouncing back and forth between trying to find an identity as a competitive PvP game versus a full-on looter RPG we will finally embrace the challenge of creating our own unique experience that combines both. As one of the first changes in this direction we have fully reworked the creep system. Instead of trying to replicate a competitive PvP game by forcing the silent creep, we have updated the system to give players multiple tools to adapt to unique situations that occur in our dungeons. We will continue to release more changes like this including a drastic balance test next week to give a taste of the new path. We thank you for your patience as we endured this growing stage. Finally, we plan to remove the Hold the Line package at the start of the season so get it while you can. See you in the dungeons! | May 28, 2024 |
| Changed | Hotfix #36 | This hotfix fixes minor bugs and continues our efforts to improve the performance and stability of Dark and Darker. This new update also fixes some of the micro-stutter some players may experience while in the game. We have also fixed the circles for the Crypts so the initial circle now encompasses the entire map. Finally, we’d like to welcome our players from Chafgames to our Blacksmith platform. Now that everyone is on Blacksmith, be on the lookout for the upcoming test environment available to our ‘Hold the Line’ supporters through the Blacksmith launcher. Thanks to all our adventurers! | Mar 5, 2024 |
| Changed | Hotfix #35 | Reminder: We have also been working on several backend projects we’d like to announce. First, we plan to open a migration tool to allow players to transfer their Chafgames account to a Blacksmith account. Starting from 5:00 AM (UTC) on March 4th, players with an account on Chafgames will be able to transfer their account to Blacksmith through our official website. Second, we are near completion on the official test environment that we plan to release early next week through the Blacksmith launcher as we promised for our ‘Hold the Line’ supporters. We hope you can join us as we test out the new death cam replay system. Thanks again for your support! | Mar 2, 2024 |
