- Trails of Cold Steel III Version 1.07 Patch Notes - 9 December 2024
Hi everyone, today we are releasing a patch for Trails of Cold Steel III which improves how the game interacts with platform achievement APIs. This should prevent performance issues in some circumstances, specifically when a large number of achievements was already unlocked. Note that this issue surfaced due to changes in how Steam deals with repeated achievement API calls, and this change affects many of our prior releases in similar ways. We are committed to patching all affected releases, but this has taken some time, especially for cases where we need to re-build games for which we already archived various development resources. Cheers, Peter "Durante" Thoman, PH3

- Trails of Cold Steel III Version 1.06 Patch Notes - 11 February 2024
Hi everyone! It's been a while, but we are providing a new update to Trails of Cold Steel III today. This is primarily in response to some relatively recent changes in behaviour on a subset of systems with AMD GPUs, but we also sneaked in a few more fixes: Fix potential text-rendering-related performance issues which could occur on AMD GPU hardware on some systems. Improve collision detection to prevent getting out-of-bounds in some rare scenarios and at specific framerates. Improve responsiveness of Alt-F4 for quitting the game. Note on Reverting to Previous Versions While we of course aim for each new version to only solve issues and provide improvements over all previous ones, it is always possible for something to break on some particular configuration. Therefore, we keep all versions available as Beta branches in Steam. Should an update lead to issues on your system, you can revert…
- The fan who took the reins at a JRPG powerhouse - 24 June 2021
There are beloved boutique Japanese studios, and then there's Falcom; a true grandee about to celebrate its 40th anniversary, the company traces its beginnings back to a hobbyist shop selling PCs and Apple IIIs as well as the curious games people were coding for them, before turning to making those games themselves. The studio has stayed purposefully modest ever since, still employing just over 60 people as it continues doing what it does best: making RPGs rich in character and story, with vast arcs that can span multiple games. Fans of Falcom are a dedicated bunch, then - like Toshihiro Kondo, for example, who took over the reins from founder Masayuki Kato in 2007. Since then, there's been a gentle push towards the west that's led to new audiences discovering the likes of Ys, the brilliantly breezy action RPG, and the ongoing Legend of Heroes series and its offshoots - a series that ri…
