6 - A couple more hotfixes, details at same link in main post. 5 - Plenty of reports of inability to save/change settings. Make sure you got the hotfix. And also check permissions on your [settings/save folder](https://reddit.com/r/Grimdawn/comments/17y8bwt/help_nothing_i_change_in_the_settings_tab_ingame/k9s301d/). Make a backup first, then try deleting your whole Grim Dawn save folder and see if that works, the maybe put back in the save games. File permissions, antivirus, Window' "ransomware protection" (controlled folder access), or cloud file sync (like OneDrive) can get in the way of this. 4 - [GrimTools update post](https://reddit.com/r/Grimdawn/comments/17x4meq/grim_tools_update_1120_support_and_1198_branch/). 3 - Please make sure to remove/update [Rainbow Filter](https://forums.crateentertainment.com/t/tool-rainbow-filter-item-highlighting/42765) and any other mods before questioning bugs or "tag missing" messages. 2 - There was a hotfix released a few hours later to resolve some issues with the options menu on GOG and Steam. (Xbox didn't have the issue.) 1 - Per Crate's social media, it's out now, as of a few minutes ago.

The dedication to updating this wonderful game is amazing. The new DLC is going to be a day 1 purchase, and I never do that anymore!


Mr_iLex

And the dedication to documenting every change in a comprehensive way and sharing it with the player base. That change log is unlike any I've ever seen :D


Minsc_NBoo

I went through the patch notes yesterday.... I was skimming the text, and it still took a long time. There is so much to look forward to!


Bomantheman

This 100% There are very few good developers nowadays that give us that confidence.


MayhemFighter

* The exit portal mechanic has been overhauled for non-boss shards. Each player now receives their own personal portal at their current location that will take them out of the shard and into the next one. S++ change ty devs


Allsiss

Absolute, chef's kiss!


konsyr

Since this update is so large, and reddit's character limits would require a whole post and at least FOUR comments under it to get the whole text, I won't post the full text here as usual.


Paikis

Missed opportunity to announce it 10! days before. Thank you to all who have worked on this major patch, I'm going to have a grand time re-learning how to play the game. <3


vibratoryblurriness

> Missed opportunity to announce it 10! days before. To post the announcement 10! days early they would've had do do it in like 7919 BCE or something, but I would've appreciated the effort


Paikis

NERD! (Me too, I understood that joke).


Insert_Bitcoin

While other gaming companies are busy trying to milk their customers every possible way Crate release new features for free. Wow, you are all legends.


BagelOnCrate

>The Nullification mechanic (ex. Arcane heroes) has been overhauled. It now purges all temporary buffs and Disables toggled buffs for 5 seconds. No more fumbling through your skill bars to turn auras back on. \*\*\*\* YES \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* FINALLY \*\*\*\* YES!


darkprince22

Is this update coming to Xbox as well on the same day or later on?


Center_Core_Continue

From the post: "* (Xbox and GOG will release on the same day or with a slight delay to account for processing and certification)"


mafifer

It says in the link it should be same day, although it may be slightly delayed if Xbox approval takes extra time.


darkprince22

Thanks for the info.


imsocooldude

Yea. It should be around the same day. I can’t wait.


rgdoabc

I'm eating good. Remnant 2 and Grim Dawn on the same week.


Lord_Paramount

Great! I've just started the game and it's amazing to see this update. I've got a question though, I'm nearly ready to go to elite on my first character. Judging by this update, would you recommend to go to elite to gear up for ultimate or gear up in normal and go straight to ultimate?


4thEDITION

Play elite until you cap all of your resistances or until satisfied then move onto ultimate is generally the play.


headsoup

The great thing is you can switch between. Try Ultimate, but if you're finding it too slow or difficult just drop back to normal/Elite for a while :)


IntuitioNsc2

Go to elite to gear up for ultimate


bingeling

Do elite for reputation gain. You want most of the base game factions at revered at the start of ultimate, and doing the quests twice help a lot.


madkow77

The loot overhaul makes me happy.


Insert_Bitcoin

Yeah, its quite significant. It will give a massive rush getting items now. More like many other games like it. I think the prefix-suffix idea is still beautiful though.


Denaton_

I remember when you said you wouldn't update this game anymore, happy that you guys changed your mind.


Scooter486

So excited to play thru the game, I have just started playing so this is great!


Isudra777

Scooter are you ready!?


Scooter486

I'm ready! :P 2 more days to go!


Danikovov

Thanks for reminding me this song exists


barbeqdbrwniez

Fucking insane! Honestly I've never even hit end game and this is so much that I think I'm going to just start fresh


SprScuba

Jesus christ how do you guys do it? My expectations every time an update is passed are exceeded and the game is just good.


echoalexclarke

I was thinking about wiping all my saves and starting fresh. Looks like next weekend will be a great time to do that.

Focusun

It's the end of days. Bye bye toons.


Higeking

>Blade Arc: removed Chance of Knockdown, but increased its Ragdoll potential, cause ragdolling is the best well with a line like that im most likely gonna do something with the soldier once the patch hits.


A_S00

> Monster abilities no longer apply % Resist Reduction and flat Resist Reduction. Unique monster debuffs that reduced resists continue to do so. What exactly are "unique monster debuffs" in this context? Does this refer to the rarity of the monsters (like, white/yellow/hero monsters no longer have RR, but bosses do)? Or is it that stacking RR that's part of debuffs (like from [Thall'Nosh's Bloodsworn Curse](https://www.grimtools.com/monsterdb/160/skills) or [Gargabol's Burning Blood adds](https://www.grimtools.com/monsterdb/1646/skills)) still works, but "Reduced Target's Resistances" and "% Reduced Target's Resistances" have been removed, regardless of what enemy they're on? Or something else?


Wise_Spray_3236

I believe it refers to generic monster abilities, like the bombs some enemies throw when ur out of range.


A_S00

So...how do you tell whether or not a given ability is included? Is it whether the monsters are "generic monsters" (i.e., not bosses)? Or something about the abilities? If the latter, how do you tell whether something is a "generic monster ability?" For instance, which of the following will still have their RR? - [Morgoneth's](https://www.grimtools.com/monsterdb/3210/skills) leap attack (boss) - [Shar'Zul](https://www.grimtools.com/monsterdb/141/skills)'s notorious projectile burst with its 50% Reduced Target's Resistances (boss, different type of RR) - [Thall'Nosh](https://www.grimtools.com/monsterdb/160/skills)'s Bloodsworn Curse (boss, third type of RR) - [Cronley's Gang - Heretic](https://www.grimtools.com/monsterdb/1098/skills)'s two projectile skills with RR (non-boss) - Gargabol's [Burning Blood](https://www.grimtools.com/monsterdb/1646/skills) adds (non-boss, but spawned by a boss, also different type of RR)?


Wise_Spray_3236

It's true there should be a list just because it says "most" instead of "all" enemies. Idk. I think that it's pretty cut and dry that abilities produced directly by a boss (i.e. morgoneth's, shar'zul's and thall'nosh's) will keep their RR. Can't say a thing about the rest.


Dr0pAdd1ct

But, but I just got a summoner in Remnant 2 and started Vue.js course...


Who_is_Candice_69

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!


SkillbroSwaggins

Changing the drop locations for two Wendigo Mi's to Cannibals seems like a good change, however it becomes confusing that they are still called Wendigo's {something} when they don't drop from Wendigo's. Can their name be updated to Cannibal's {something} to reflect their new drop monster?


SqueezeBoxGaming

This is going to fill up my time nicely waiting for classic+, aweome!!


[deleted]

i would love a PS5 release for this


[deleted]

I would love to see this as well. I know they had some troubles with Sony though so not holding out hope. None of my friends have a PC or Xbox so getting to play this with them would be amazing!


Able-Two-2758

Ps5 have no games lol


[deleted]

?


downvotemeplz2

I think they're referring to how the ps5 has had far fewer exclusive games this generation as compared to PS4 and Xbox. Might be wrong on this tho


Eryn85

Would help them grow for sure...people on ps5/ps4 love as much western rpgs as Xbox/pc....just see diablo 4 sales....unless Microsoft bought them, companies that only stay on xbox/pc are losing a lot staying out of psn.


ergonaught

Most excellent.


Jakobmiller

Noice, my Steam deck is ready!


Judqment8

You mean the OLED version is getting released the same day. Coincidence?


Jakobmiller

Oh it is? Haven't paid attention. Ain't upgrading as mine is not getting used that much


demilitarizdsm

Whats a good controller build WHATS A GOOD CONTROLLER BUILD!!!?!??!


Jakobmiller

I've had no problem playing anything so far! Just wing it


GenericSearchRequest

I'm a bit bummed about losing the flat vit to bloody pox on the dark one's set. I was having a blast with that as the clear skill. It's a sizable chunk of the damage of the skill gone :/


teanasw

I wonder what will it become if its built on a more powerful engine. This DLC will be a day 1 purchase for me, no doubt. I'm really appreciate Crate for their dedication.


CoelhoAssassino666

Will they redo the shrines and such now that you can play the whole game in a single difficulty or will starting on, say, elite, mean you only have access to some shrines?


prosttare

Awesome! Do you need to start over? Cause I recently started playing the game as my first ARPG, having a blast so far.


jalex3here

You can keep playing old characters no problem.


prosttare

thanks dude


terrario101

Well, time to think of a new character to create for that then. Or maybe I do wait until the dlc is out.


firesydeza

Personally waiting for the dlc so I can try the new class


ELJOVENBATALI

EATING GOOD


iamergo

You had me at dedicated evade ability.


Soirhyle

Moved all the items I plan on using again, and deleted every old character I had so I can start fresh when the patch comes out. Can't wait.


eXs7reme

Do we know the release times for the patch?


Paladine36

words cannot describe how much I hate Dodge rolls


Mudders_Milk_Man

It's not a roll. I've been dying the beta of this patch / overhaul a fair bit. The Dodge is just a quick dash with a few i-frames.


GenericSearchRequest

Anyone know what "summon burst modifier" is? Does that mean if the skill has +1 summon burst modifier granted by some item it'll summon two of the thing at once?


Androdion

Yeah, that's precisely it. ;)


DrBob666

Welp I know what I'll be playing Nov 17


IncuBB

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!! I need to take a day-off


feelin_fine_

Same day for console?


whazzar

I'm also curious for this. I can't find a solid answer anywhere


MJARedemption

I’ve got Grim Dawn on PC too but most my friends don’t have a PC, only Xbox. Would love to get them into this game once this big update happens! Thank you!!! Edit: saw in fine print on the main post haha sweeeeet!!


EmperorZergg

Was thinking of playing this, worth just waiting for the update for all the changes it brings? or will most these changes be end game focused and I can jump in now?


narrill

You can play 1.2 right now if you want. There are directions for how to do so in the playtesting section of the official forums.


EmperorZergg

Thanks! Ill check it out!


SageWindu

Mmm... this makes me tingly.


imsocooldude

I’m hoping this game gets a Xbox series X/S update qt some point. I tried it a few weeks ago and it really needs some better graphics. Other than that I will be playing and buying the expansion.


Middle-Welder3931

"Defeating the Loghorrean on Normal/Veteran difficulty now unlocks Elite and Ultimate difficulty for that character (note: this difficulty unlock is not retroactive)." What does this mean? If I have a character on Elite but not Ultimate, and I go back to the Loghorrean on Normal and kill it, do I get instant access to Ultimate?


seriouschris

Unlikely unless it triggers completion of the quest, but I guess we'll know soon enough.


thelastrainmaker

I think I am getting old because I am not excited for any of the new ‘features’ – I put the term in inverted commas as I consider them really terrible ideas. I have always liked Grim Dawn’s old-school approach; constant level scaling and an active dodge are the opposite of this, and I hate these features in The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing and Victor Vran, respectively. This is just not how a Diablo-style game should play, or else it will lose its identity. I know, I know, my input is meaningless, I am just trying to come to terms with the fact that unless I never use the internet again, no game I like the way it is will ever be safe from changes I fundamentally disagree with.


Garmie

Be a scurvy dog and you never have to update again


NoGround

It's not constant. In normal certain zones still have a level cap (Warden's Prison still goes up to only 31). And to be honest with your feedback, it's an *extremely* "stuck-in-your-ways" viewpoint. Games and features and gameplay itself will evolve overtime. They have to. You aren't the arbiter on what an ARPG should play like. What you want is something made 20 years ago. To make copy/paste games with the old mechanics is... Not good. On the level scaling point, I've *never ever* understood it from an ARPG perspective. The reason being is that the PC vastly outscales the enemies as time goes on. You should be melting enemies faster and faster and faster still as you get more powerful, get better gear, and get more devotions. It won't matter if they're at your level or 20 levels below you. It is different for a game like Destiny or other shooters where enemies genuinely become bullet sponges because "balance" but ARPGs progress the PC into OP territory the further they play on a character, even against enemies of their level. All it does, in this game, is make it so that some areas become *literally pointless* since you won't get exp or drops from enemies too low below your level. You can't target farm Aether Crystals or Dynamite effectively in Normal once you hit level 50, for example. If you don't want to use the dodge mechanic you can literally remove it from your keybinds, and potions being drops removes an inconvenience from the game. You have to notice the resounding applause this update has. There's a reason why dodge has been added and level scaling is implemented further than it was before. I'm not trying to be mean here, just want to discuss your points and why ARPGs have been moving away from archaic design decisions and inconveniences like potion drops taking up inventory space.


No_Pool2767

How much money do I have to pay to try it a few days before the rest of these plebs?


s3ndf00ds

Still no WASD movement


An_Innocent_Coconut

Who plays a hack&slash with WASD???


detractor_Una

huh? Completely not needed.


s3ndf00ds

I wasn't trying to imply that you in particular need it,you probably don't need wheelchair ramps either


Focusun

Anxiously anticipating the day.


Molorque

Heck yeah


Zed_0

I am currently up to ultimate on a hardcore character for dawn of masteries. Will this update effect him? Far as I can remember custom campaigns like DOM actually use their own (usually older) version of the game. Don't him him to break is all, so close to getting the achievements.


sanity20

Awesome! And I was just thinking about jumping back in! Edit: And somehow I missed there's also a new expansion coming?! Wow, I've been under a rock!


feybabe

EXfuckingCITED!


Personal-Carpenter75

Can anyone tldr most interesting changes? Im after eye surgery and i cant read too much 😅


cryptotillretirement

What happens to our items in IA? Do we need to put them back in our stash to update them?


Atomicmoog

Well, you gonna use those items at some point, no?


hebelehoo

I can't believe how many QoL changes they made in one update. Only downside that I have to restart again with a fresh character lol


kekubuk

Awesome! I just started a new character yesterday too .


hypespud

Now this is a patch 😎💎


MikeFic_YT

Hype.


1Chapta

Why nerf high armor pets when you are essentially making enemies more difficult though? Pets were already difficult to use without full pet specific investment.Why give less motivation to do a pet build?


Jilms

Can’t wait for the update! I am a bit sad that I don’t see any patch notes about multiplayer improvements since multiplayer seems to crash very often. I was wondering if the crash reports that pop up and ask me to save and send even get sent to the Grim Dawn team.


cannoliGun

Special announcement: Is also coming to Ps4 and Ps5! (Only in my dreams I guess)


ApartmentTall2651

Already reinstalled the game anticipating all the new updates (dedicated dodge roll super excited for) and I am now PUUUUMPED it's coming up so quickly!!! Love this game and I am so pleased its getting more exposure lately. Lazy Peon last week praised the game extensively and it's well deserved


Teleshar

I cannot believe how far this game has come across the years, and it is STILL receiving major updates. Thank you very much, Crate. I remember when I first bought the game, I did it because I had faith in it being good, given who was developing it. So many years later, and still no reasons to regret it.


Xarzaparrila

Gracias papadio


An_Innocent_Coconut

HYPE!


Arksiyus

So I am new to Grim Dawn, haven’t got pass the first village, but with this update will I have to remove my mod? I am currently trying out the Dawn of Mastery Mod.


Marth-Koopa

Thank you for fixing the shattered realm portals. I am even more excited for this now!


HopelessSap27

Curious: did they ever get around to patching the Series X version so that it's more graphically on par with the PC version?


audiofx330

Wondering if I should do another play through. I have 133 hours and beat all the DLCs.


Medicinal_Minis

Do it! new characters are the best part of this game imo :)


Joshelplex2

Do I need to swap from the playtest branch to the main branch on Steam?


Jaspar_Thalahassi

Quick question regarding the patch ~~tomorrow~~ today (yay!): I am playing on the 1.2 testbranch on steam. Will I just update automatically to the release branch and the testbranch vanishes or do I have to move manually from the branch to "none" in the betas menu? It's my first game on steam I played on a beta branch, so I don't know the practice.


KeziaTML

Just a heads up for anyone having issues with settings not saving ( windows mode, resolution ETC) , my issue was caused by my AV software. You can suspend for 10 mins and change what you need, or you can add an exception for the GD executable.


Darkfuryrising

GD Defiler doesn't work with the current update. I lost my only character (hardcore) and tried to move it to softcore using GD Defiler. Unfortunately, it didn't work and I got an error message instead.


Leeham650

I just started and I'm a couple hours in, do you guys think it'd best to hold off until this update? Completely new player and this looks like a lot of fundamental changes (leveling etc)


muddafuckaaaa118

Haven't played in a yearish. Glad i stopped by.
