- Deck Builders Round Up - 14 May 2022
Deckbuilders! I love 'em. Slay the Spire got me into this genre digitally, after originally feeling the pull of Magic the Gathering in the late 90's. After over a hundred hours playing Slay the Spire, the classic that invigorated the whole genre, I had the bug, bad. So since late 2019 I’ve been hunting for more. MOAR! Here’s a round up of a few favourites. Read the full article here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2022/05/deck-builders-round-up
- v1.3a - Patch Notes - 29 April 2022
Hey folks! We've just updated the game with some small (but quite important fixes). Steam and GOG are updated now, and we hope to be able to push this update to Xbox tomorrow :) ### PATCH NOTES: Terms of Service buttons changed to single press, instead of hold. We've introduced "Press Any Button" screen after launching the game to make it easier to catch a controller's focus on the game (this should resolve various issues such as "I can't accept TOS after starting the game". We've fixed a broken Seamstress passive skill (the one that was impossible to unlock on a gamepad) We've adjusted controller settings to better handle situations in which multiple controllers try to provide input to the game. We've fixed a bug that sometimes killed bosses when players left the game and returned to it with 'Continue' button We also want to push a patch later next week - it will contain fixes to vario…

We've made some extra game optimization available for everyone (+ added font scaling) We also made some adjustments to the game on Steam Deck! ...And it also works on Linux now!

- Xbox Game Pass March line-up concludes with Shredders, Weird West, Crusader Kings III and more - 15 March 2022
The Xbox Game Pass March game selection has been revealed! This month, we’re getting a decent mix of genres added to the Game Pass lineup, including Crusader Kings 3 , Weird West , and Shredders among some other notable additions. Xbox Game Pass, the subscription service offered to Xbox console and PC users, provides a sizable library of games for the cost of £8 / $10 a month . For that price, you can often pick up some recently released game for a fraction of the cost, making it a decent option for those who can’t or won’t spend full price for the latest titles. The first game up is Crusader Kings 3 , which is getting a Xbox Series X/S version on Game Pass. This grand strategy game puts you in the role of a ruler during the middle ages, as you engage in politics, war, and plenty of scheming in order to expand your empire. In our review for this title back in 2020 , Lauren Aitken descri…

- Patch 1.1: Shattered Reality is LIVE! - 19 August 2021
Hey! After a safe beta-testing period (huge thanks to everyone who participated and shared feedback with us!), we are ready to post our very first MAJOR patch after launch. Welcome to Patch 1.1 - Shattered Reality! We are super excited to bring quite a big chunk of extra content to Tainted Grail. Before we will get to the “meat” of the patch that will bring you many hours of extra playtime - let us start with some of the things that might not be instantly visible. First of all - our team worked on extra optimization of the game and we were able to get the game working better, especially at the lower-end specification. Nothing really groundbreaking, but hopefully a noticeable change ;) Secondly - we did a lot of (really small) balancing tweaks, fixed quite a lot of bugs, and added some visual improvements here and there. Again, nothing groundbreaking, but the devil is in the details! ;)…

And we hope that even a brief look at the changelog of today's patch will show it that we take your feedback seriously!

- Plans for the future & Remembering a year of Early Access - 18 June 2021
Hey everyone! As it turns out, today is the anniversary of the game's first appearance in Early Access! Looking back, it feels really crazy how the game's changed since that time - and that we've been able to finally release it and hear so many positive things from you about it! So thank you for being with us back then - and if you weren't, today we have a quick ride down the memory lane to the early state of Conquest - and an amazing wrap-up written by lMaltel on our Wiki page. But before we get to memories and more details about our plans for the future, here's a VERY SHORT tl;dr of what's currently happening with Conquest: Soon: a big patch with fixes, changes, balancing, and first translations. It's available NOW on the BETA branch of the game for members of our Discord server. Within the next few months: a big update containing optimization (making the game run better/smoother), ne…
- Quick Hotfix - Performance on High-End PCs & Small Fixes - 10 June 2021
Hi everyone! We're pushing a small hotfix today containing a couple of things -- but one of them may be really important for some of you. We'd really appreciate your feedback about one particular change we've made. So the most important thing in this small patch is: We've been looking hard at the issues you've reported with the game's bad performance on high-end PCs - especially the "hiccups" / small, constant framerate drops / lack of smoothness during gameplay. We think we came up with a solution and after today's patch the game should run better - and the "hiccups" shouldn't be noticable anymore. Please let us know if this helped, though! Also: It shouldn't be possible to "overwrite" a runestone instead of switching it for another one. Legendary cards now properly lose charges again Sound effects of buffs and debuffs were tweaked a bit Stagfather's charm icon was updated to remove th…
