v1.03 - Engine Stability information -- Bugfixes/improvements
Bad News: The Engine I'm using seems to randomly cause crashes that happen inconsistently - that is I cannot replicate them even if you send me a save file right before the issue occurs. Even during my own testing on 2 desktops, 2 laptops (one Windows, one bazzite) a steam deck and steam machine and some random friends helping me QA we did not experience any crashes prior to release, which leads me to believe it's an underlying issue with the engine and possibly some hardware/driver configurations, which I have reported at length to the engine developer. Good News: The developer of the engine has confirmed a 2026 release of an update which should improve stability and performance My plan when the engine update releases: I'll migrate R&R: Abencor to the new major engine release as a beta branch. After extensive testing, I may simply offer two launch options, one for the latest engine, and one for the previous since some player have no issues at all with the game as it stands. This update includes the following: • Fixed the vault/bank so your inventory is shown with the vault window, which was causing issues actually storing items • Changed it so the background selection screen also shows the statistics information, so you can make a more informed decision on game start • Fixed an issue where some items (mostly potions) were not charging the price listed in the shop • Fixed a typo in a quest dialogue • Added some dialogue to give the player a hint about the Swamp Temple boss fight so they can better prepare • Added some dialogue to give the player a hint about the Dune Tunnels boss fight so they can better prepare • Fixed an issue with the priests in Culceth and Mandora that may prevent interacting with the level up shrine • Fixed an error with the swamp map that was showing the incorrect cardinal directions• Fixed a UI issue when leveling up • Adjusted some dialogue from the NPC's in Ivywood • Fixed an issue where player notes were note saving • Added description tex...Read full article on Community Announcements (bonebrah)Patch NotesOfficial

v1.01 bug fixes and start improvements
Based on player feedback, I added some new things to improve the new player experience. Changes below: • Added an option for the player to pick a background (Warrior, Scout, Apprentice) at start up with some starting equipment, with a brief explanation of how skills work • Added more descriptions to a handful of items to make it clear how they work • Fixed various grammar issues • Adjusted the main quest global variable tracking that could cause a softlock • Adjusted the Sandstorm Sanctum boss encounter to hopefully prevent a crash • Fixed scroll bars appearing on the stat screens UI elements • Fixed a chest that was displaying it's internal script name, rather than a string that was player friendlyRead full article on Community Announcements (bonebrah)AnnouncementsOfficial
