- Patch 1.00.12 - 16 September 2026
Hello! I've seen quite a few people getting stuck on the Gorilla, so I felt he was a little too punishing, especially with Shatter guaranteeing crits, it didn't seem like fun way to die. I've given him a small nerf, along with a few other fixes. Changes Gorilla Headbutt: 24–25 -> 22–23 damage Earth Projectile: 25–26 -> 21–22 damage Gorilla projectiles: 60% -> 40% Shatter Apply Rate Fixed Illdrake Mage projectiles firing the wrong direction. Increased the success chance of the final option in the Skeleton fungi-stealing event by 10%, making the "A Bone To Poke" achievement easier to obtain. Small performance and optimisation improvements. I have also awesome news that Rogue Blight has been accepted for Steam Trading Cards! Still getting the artwork ready, but I'll let you know when they're live. Thanks for playing, more stuff to come! -CodeRad (Solo dev)
- Patch 1.00.11 - 13 September 2026
Hello! This patch focuses mainly on performance and optimisation, particularly addressing lag spikes that could occur when large numbers of projectiles are spawned, especially on lower-end PCs. Optimisation The majority of projectiles throughout the game are now object pooled. Reduced unnecessary projectile and background particle counts. Added a save recovery safety check in case of save file corruption. As a last resort, the game can now attempt to recover the save file, although the current map will need to be abandoned. Added several Steam Deck-specific optimisations. For Steam Deck, I recommend using the Linux build, as it currently provides slightly better framerate. To enable it: Steam → Rogue Blight → Properties → Compatibility → Enable "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool" → Steam Linux Runtime 1.0 As always, if you run into any issues or have any question…
- Patch 1.00.10 - 11 September 2026
Just a quick hotfix! In the last patch, I fixed a bunch of issues with PlayStation controllers, but unfortunately this introduced a small lag spike whenever game detects switching between keyboard/mouse and controller. Normally, this wouldn't cause any issues, but some controllers, such as the Xbox Razer Chroma V2 Controller, can sometimes be detected as both a keyboard/mouse and a controller at the same time. This could cause noticeable lag while playing with those controllers. This should now be fixed. Sorry about that, and thanks for your patience! If you run into any other issues, please let me know on the Steam Community forums or on Discord: https://discord.com/invite/Ga4qG5nQkJ -CodeRad (Solo Dev)
- Patch 1.00.09 - 11 September 2026
Hello! First of all, thank you so much for playing Rogue Blight. I’m honestly still having a hard time believing how many people are playing and enjoying the game. I wasn't expecting this. I’m just one developer, so some things may take a little time, but I’ll do everything I can to keep improving Rogue Blight and make it as good as it can possibly be. This patch mainly focuses on fixing controller issues, especially those affecting PlayStation controllers. I’ve also taken care of a few other bugs that were reported, as well as addressing some boss balance issues brought up by the community, particularly Broodmother! Thank you all for the continued support and for reporting issues! If you find anything or have suggestions be sure to post on Steam Community or discord! I read all of your feedback.

- Patch 1.00.07 - 5 September 2026
Hello! I was working on a larger patch, but I noticed a few reports of issues affecting ultrawide displays. So, rather than making you wait for the bigger update, I decided to push out this hotfix to address those issues with ultrawide. I’ve also listened to your feedback about Starting Gear not having enough of an impact, so I’ve rebalanced it to make your starting choices feel more meaningful. Changes: Bug Fix: Fixed the Blacksmith and Shop UIs not scaling correctly in later areas of the game when playing on ultrawide monitors. Starting Gear Balance: Gorilla: Each piece now increases Crit Chance by 3% (up from 1.5%). Bloody Gorilla: Each piece now increases Crit Damage by 4% (up from 2%). Wendigo: Each piece now increases DEX by 2 (up from 1). Statue: Each piece now provides +3 DEF and +3 Bonus Elemental Resistance (up from 2). Statue Flesh: Each piece now increases Resistance by 3% (…
- Patch 1.00.06 - 4 September 2026
Another quick hot fix, mainly addressing localization issues. Bug Fixes: Fixed an issue where Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Russian, and Ukrainian could sometimes display ▢ instead of certain characters. These languages should now display all characters correctly. Localization: Corrected several spelling mistakes in the Spanish localization. Corrected French localization issues related to gender-specific text. I just want to mention that the next things I’m planning to address are some lag spikes that can occur during certain fights, as well as adding native PlayStation controller support. Thank you so much for sticking with me and supporting the game! It truly means a lot. - CodeRad (Solo dev)
- Patch 1.00.05 - 4 September 2026
Hello! Just a quick small hot fix!

Localization: - Corrected some of English localization (one of them was "Gold Stealen" instead of "Gold Stolen") - Corrected some Spanish localization spelling mistakes (thank you to 𝕷𝖔𝖗𝖉𝖆𝖆𝖘𝖙𝖆𝖗𝖔𝖙𝖍) Improvements: Zoker's Pants now properly cover the boots armor. Thank you so much for playing! I honestly can’t believe how much attention the game is getting. It’s truly humbling to see so many people enjoying something I’ve poured so much time and effort into. I just wanted to mention a few issues with the game that I’m currently working on: Localization: Some languages are missing certain characters, which are being displayed as boxes. I’ve specifically noticed t…
