Hey everyone! This patch is focused heavily on stability and crash fixes. Over the past day, I’ve been digging through tons of crash logs and soft lock reports -- huge thanks to everyone who sent them in. A large number of these issues seem to be tied to the game’s new multithreading behaviors, which were introduced to improve performance across modern hardware. That said, the results were mixed: some players never encountered a single issue, while others ran into frequent crashes / soft-locks depending on their system. I believe I’ve resolved the majority of these problems, but just in case,

Hey! So I decided to do a full revamp of the game's systems and prioritize optimization for this patch. The game should now have major FPS improvements across the board. If you run into any new issues or crashes let me know either in the forums or the Discord :) 🔧 Optimization Overhaul Collision systems have been completely overhauled for better efficiency. Major game systems now utilize multithreading to distribute workloads. Revisited all weapon projectiles to significantly improve performance and reduce overhead. Improved object pooling across systems for improved memory efficiency. Revamp

I quite like the whole action roguelike genre that built up around games like Binding of Isaac and Nuclear Throne and metamorphosed into a whole new thing with the explosive birth of Vampire Survivors... Read more.

Hey everyone! This patch brings another big round of improvements as I continue refining things during launch week. It includes a bunch of important bug fixes, a brand-new overlay rendering system for (hopefully) better performance, and several quality-of-life upgrades based on your feedback. Thank you all so much for the incredible support during this launch. It seriously means the world to me. I'm going to keep rolling out updates to squash bugs, smooth things out, and make the overall experience better and better. Balancing and more QoL are up next so keep the suggestions coming!

Hey guys! So this patch addresses some of the common crashes and soft-locks that have been reported, among a few other things that were suggested. I'll still be continuing to bug fix, with the next focus being optimization and a new overlay rendering pipeline that will hopefully improve the game's performance. Then I'll be moving towards QoL and implementing some of the suggestions that have been mentioned. Thanks so much for all of the feedback from everyone. I'm so determined to get these bugs squashed

✨ New Features First-Time Setup Wizard: A calibration wizard has been added to help you set up the game for the best experience! It appears on first-startup but is still accessible from the Settings menu. One of the important settings added to it is Transparency Threshold for systems which process black colors differently (e.g. black text is rendering transparent). Swordy Tutorial Sequence: Per request, after Swordy’s intro, players will now be guided through starting their first run, opening the map and stats menu, navigating rooms, and surviving their first 60-second wave.

New Features QoL Keyboard Controls Added: Per request, some keyboard controls have been added :) Press ESC to toggle the game. Use Tab to toggle stats. Press M to open the map. Click-Through Toggle Button: A setting for toggling pass-through clicking has been added to the Settings menu! When enabled, it will prevent your cursor from interacting with your desktop. Bug Fixes 5120x1440 Resolution Crash: Fixed an issue where launching the game at 5120x1440 caused it to crash.
