An awesome tester helped reproduce that Borgen's Crossing bug, and it will be fixed in v102. It happens when you enter the zone using the space just to the right of the haystack (which 99% of people don't do, but it happens).

This is very interesting. Having lots of disagreement about what is good is the sign of a healthy game system. Some notes about future versions ... 1. Silence is currently somewhat broken and doesn't affect as many enemy abilities as it should. It will have longer durationa nd work correctly in v102. 2. Teleport now costs 6 AP. It is situational but can be hugely powerful.

This is indeed bugged. You can't turn the scroll in until you do the dragon quest (when you shouldn't have to do the dragon at all). This will be fixed in v102. Thanks!

I'm sorry you don't like the game. I can't convince you to like a game you don't like. I can say why I did what I did. "The "you have to complete a dungeon on one run" change is obnoxious. I always found the "jump down a hole and you're trapped and can't get out the way you came" dungeons to be the most stressful, and now every dungeon is like that." I want the game to stress you out. Queen's Wish operates on a Darkest DUngeon/Into the Breach principle where the enemy dungeon is a puzzle you need to solve. You're supposed to always feel anxious and like you need to be careful and pay attention and be a little lucky, but still almost always win. It is VERY carefully balanced. However, the difficulty level you choose matters a lot more than in the other games. Veteran is really quite difficult for most people. (Though I have gotten complaints it's too easy.) "It seems like the plot kind of sucks. " I love it. I love this world and these characters. They are a blast to write. I love the sort of quandaries the game gives you. Queens Wish 2 and 3 will be a lot more of the same. "When I saw what happens when creatures die, I rolled my eyes." This was one of the very first ideas I got when designing the game. It was meant to be reminiscent of a tabletop RPG. I love this effect and every time I see it I smile. Hope you like Geneforge more.

There is a problem with this and it will be fixed in v102. Thanks!

The location of the saved games is on the Support page ... http://www.spiderwebsoftware.com/queenswish/support.html Mac and Windows saved games are compatible with each other.

One of the difficult things about the job is the way it exposes your shattering ignorance to the world. SOmetimes multiple times a day. Anyhoo, you're right, of course. That SDL_Delay command dramatically reduces CPU load without impacting performance as much as I can see. I'll put it in the Mac Windows and iOS versions and see how it goes. It'll probably be a week or two until v102 comes out, so I'll have to ask for your patience until then. I thought to fix the problem I'd have to make and maintain my own SDL2 fork FOREVER, and I really didn't want to do that. Thank you for your extreme patience helping me with this.

I've had no more reports of it, and I've definitely been watching. It's rare, but gremlins do happen.

This makes sense. I'll tweak the text so it's less obnoxious. I also tweaked the error message ot help prevent confusion.

Ah, I see the problems. I'll look into tweaking the documentation some time, though it's a low priority. I tweaked the Haven's Might tooltip to make it clear it's a much beefier effect.

You aren't allowed to change armor when a foe is nearby, and I changed it so it will display the correct error message. There was also a bug that kept you from switching armor in combat when not near foes, and this will be fixed in v102..

I want to be clear that my games having flaws that someone good at programming could fix easily is very upsetting to me. You have convinced me that if I deep dive into the source for SDL2 I could rewrite it to optimize it. As for whether I will do that, for Queen's Wish or for the Geneforge remaster, is still up in the air. It will take time for me to learn how MacOS event-handing works now, make the desired changes, and then more time to test it, and we're really scrambling with everything else for a game release and for all our Kickstarter obligations. It is on our to-do list, and we've bookmarked this thread so we know what to look at. If not for this game, the next one (when we can make sure the engine changes get a full test pass). Sorry I can't give a better answer. In the end, I'm just one guy with one brain, and serious techie stuff is outside my capabilities. If this is a big issue, instead of yelling at me, just write us at support@spiderwebsoftware.com and you can get your refunds no questions asked.

Radiance is indeed broken. It gives a very high chance of helping the character with the stat but 0 chance of helping others. This will be fixed in v102. Thanks to the person who emailed it to me. I'm really flooded with input right now and it's easy to miss bug reports.

Thanks so much for giving the game a fair chance. We really believe in this one.

I'll look into this for v1.0.2.

The armor description in the docs looks correct. It looks like it's accurately describing how the armor works. In the example, the 9 is the MAXIMUM the armor can block. So in the example it won't block the full 60%. I'll look at the Haven heal description, but how is it wrong? It says it powerfully heals and cures, and it does that.

"Game is no longer scaling correctly, on 1.0.0 is scaled up the text and game in general okay on a 2560x1440 screen - i deleted my settings file but no change, run my screen scaled up by 175% and it had been working fine with no issues until the patch last night." I assume this is Windows v101. I turned on resolution switching for v101. I suggest turning off scaling. Then re-run the game and pick a lower resolution. It should scale correctly but everything on the screen will be big and visible.

This was always meant to be a PC/Mac game, and the vast majority of its customers will be there. I wanted a look reminiscent of our early games and old-school Ultima/RPGs. That the new look works better on mobile is a just a bonus.

We are doing the v1.0.1 updates everywhere now. Because there are so many platforms, all with different interfaces and requirements and delays to take the build live, sending out a patch is a 2 day process now.

The Tainly Mines bug will be fixed in v101 For the Rusty Barb thing, I just checked, and all the scripts seem to be in order. I'll keep poking around and see if something seems off.

The text is odd, but intentional. Haven does encounter subterranean races from time to time, with their own denizens. As you might find yourself in time ...

MacBooks are infamous for their poor heat management. When my wife was playing Into the Breach on her laptop the other days, the fans sounded like jet engines. I don't "just shrug" about it. It makes me really unhappy (especially when I fall victim to it). But I can't make Apple correctly engineer their laptops. They're too busy making the new butterfly keyboards never work right. if you really still believe it's my fault, Google "macbook game fan running". Truly, I am sorry about this, but it's past my control.

Trust in your mother's protective magic. Fight bravely like a warrior of Haven. If the ghosts seem to destroy you, your protective magic will save you. (And you get an Achievement!)

Contact us at support@spiderwebsoftware.com. The v101 update will be out very soon, but it you're getting general slowness you should look into reinstalling the game and your video drivers.

If game usage it going to 0%, that means something else if preventing the game from running. Is it possible Time Machine is kicking in at this time? Do you have any unusual programs that are doing frequent jobs in your system?
