New patch that improves performance of Xbox One version now
live

Vienna/Bremen: Developer KING Art Games keeps on working on
The Dwarves. A new patch has been released for
Xbox One to improve performance, whilst a larger update is
currently in development that will bring a few fan requests to the
game.

With yesterday’s patch, the following problems have been
fixed to make the game run smoother:

• Fixed a bug that under certain circumstances overtaxed the
  audio processor, resulting in stutter or freezes at some
  locations
• Fixed possible audio distortions in a few locations
• Fixed lag spikes that could occur in random locations, for
  example Mifurdania Marketplace or outside of Lot-Ionan’s
  Vault
• Fixed a glitch that could make it hard to select a waypoint on
  the world map without getting sick 😉

To further address performance issues – especially
during loading times on console – KING Art is currently
checking if a new version of the Unity game engine will shorten the
time needed to load locations and still guarantee gameplay
stability. This next, bigger update is either arriving as a
christmas present or very early 2017 and will enhance all versions
of the game on all plattforms.

The Dwarves offers massive-scale, tactical battles in
real-time and a brand new, physics-based “crowd combat
system”, to let the players feel the thrill of fighting
hundreds of enemies with only a small bunch of heroes (no pun
intended).

Besides the challenging combat, players can dive into a deep
story, based on the best-selling ‘The Dwarves’ series
of novel by Markus Heitz.

The Dwarves is available NOW for PC, Mac, Linux,
PlayStation®4 and Xbox One at a retailer near you or as a
digital download.
