Talisman: Digital Classic Edition news & patch notes

Hi Talisman fans! ːBlueTalismanː ːTalProToadː

We've just rolled out a small patch for Talisman: Digital Classic Edition on all platforms, which includes the following changes and fixes:

• The game now enables the 'revealed endings' setting by default. It also defaults to selecting the 'Crown of Command' as the initially selected revealed ending by default.

• Fixed an issue where changing region would sometimes cause the online menu to become un-interactable

• Previously, the Wishing Well from The City Expansion wasn't working correctly, specifically when you re-rolled your die. This has now been fixed, and the card works as written even when you re-roll. So go make a wish! ⛲

Alongside these fixes, we've also resolved a seperate issue where some Android players were unable to resume online games. We know that many of you play using cross-play between the Steam and Android versions, so we hope this helps your online games run smoother!

As always, if you notice any bugs or issues in Talisman: Digital Classic Edition, please report them here on the Steam forums so our team can investigate them.

And finally, from our small studio, thank you as always for your support! ːheartː

Hi Talisman fans! ːBlueTalismanː

We've just rolled out a super small patch for Talisman: Digital Classic Edition, which fixes a crash that was happening when players were selecting their characters at the start of a game.

This issue has been fixed as part of this patch - so thank you to everyone who reported the issue directly to us and here on the Steam forums.

As always, best of luck with your dice rolls and thank you for your support! ːheartː

Hi Talisman fans! ːBlueTalismanː

We've just rolled out a super small patch for Talisman: Digital Classic Edition, which makes some behind-the-scenes changes to fix how we're tracking player statistics through the Nomad Account system.

It looks like some of the changes we made in the last update knocked some things about, but this small update should put things back on track going forward. ːTalProToadː

As always, best of luck with your dice rolls and thank you as always for your support! ːheartː

Hi Talisman fans! ːBlueTalismanː ːTalProToadː

We've just rolled out a small patch for Talisman: Digital Classic Edition, which includes the following changes and fixes:

• Updated the graphics subsystem, to improve graphical performance across the game.

• We've made some changes to the save data system to reduce stalls during gameplay. Due to these changes, playing with your old saves from before this patch may cause odd issues to occur - if you can start a new game instead of loading one from before this patch, that should resolve your issue!

• Fixed a bug where the Ghoul was able to use more than one raised follower at a time. They now form an orderly queue, as they should. 🧟🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️

• Previously, the Runes space would incorrectly override the ruling regarding ignoring spaces when you encounter a dragon scale. Now, if you encounter a dragon scale on the Runes space, the space won't affect any enemies you draw.

• Fixed an issue where the Amateur Inventor card from The Clockwork Kingdom wouldn't give you a new invention.

• The Devil's Minion character specifically says you can't use weapons or armour in battle, but this was also incorrectly effecting his ability to use armour in Psychic Combat (aka Craft Combat). This has now been fixed, so he can use armour in Psychic Combat as intended.

• Some parts of the game were showing Polish translations instead of Italian when playing with Italian language selected - these parts now show the proper Italian text! 🇮🇹

• Fixed a number of small issues with character abilities not always working as they should.

• Fixed an issue where the background music would not always resume after a battle.

• The AI was occasionally casting Transmute on itself, making them discard their weapons and armour. We've told it to stop doing that, because that's silly. ːTalProToadː

As always, if you notice any bugs or issues in Talisman: Digital Classic Edition, please report them here on the Steam forums so our team can investigate them.

And finally, from our small studio, thank you as always for your support! ːheartː

Hi Talisman fans! ːBlueTalismanː ːTalProToadː

It's been a hot minute since we rolled out an announcement for Talisman: Digital Classic Edition, but today we launched a fresh patch for the game focused on resolving one issue - the crash caused by playing the game with the Steam Overlay enabled.

You should be able to download it via Steam now - if anyone is still having issues with crashes after downloading the patch, please leave a comment on this announcement or send an email with your PC specs to [email protected]

An Update on the Talisman Steam Page

While we're talking about this patch, we wanted to touch on something that we'll be expanding upon fully in the future. Some of you will have noticed that back in February, the Talisman: Digital Classic Edition base game was removed from the search directory in Steam. Since earlier this month, the game is now relisted in Steam search, as part of the Talisman: Digital Classic Complete Collection.

These changes were made based on the feedback and popular demand that we heard from you all after the initial change. As for why these changes happened in the first place, Talisman is a licensed product, so there are certain things that are out of our control when it comes to what's allowed to be listed on different storefronts, requirements for how we present our titles and how that impacts our ongoing licenses with the physical board game publishers we work with.

Thanks to your feedback and some work on our end, we're pleased to be bringing back the previously removed from Steam search Talisman: Digital Classic Edition store page, even if it's in a slightly different way than before. Going forward, we're going to be pushing for and doing what we can to come up with solutions that give you all the best outcome while fulfilling our requirements to our license owners.

Thank you as always for your understanding and support! ːheartː

Deciding What to Adapt First

Reaper Card Art Update

Reaper Warlock Quests

Deck Editor Considerations

• Allow you to individually add The Reaper Expansion cards into the base game decks when editing your decks.
• Allow you to create custom decks just for The Reaper Expansion, which you could then choose between when you enabled the expansion.

Making a New Reaper Model

• We’re going to be bringing content from Talisman: Digital Edition over to Talisman: Digital 5th Edition, starting with The Reaper Expansion.
• Not only are we bringing existing DLC content over, but on the platforms that support it, if you’ve already purchased that content in Talisman: Digital Edition, you’ll be able to play it in Talisman: Digital 5th Edition completely free of charge!

Talisman: Digital 5th Edition - DLC Carryover FAQ

Will this only apply if you buy the expansion before it gets added to Talisman: Digital 5th Edition?

Will this work across all my devices?

Will I still be able to get this Talisman: Digital Edition content in Talisman: Digital 5th Edition if I don’t own Talisman: Digital Edition?

Will we still be able to share expansions for free in online multiplayer?

When will 4th Edition expansions be added to Talisman: Digital 5th Edition?

How often will you be adding 4th Edition expansions to Talisman: Digital 5th Edition?

Will you still be able to try a Talisman: Digital Edition expansion each week for free?

What are you going to do with cards/rules that don’t work in the 5th Edition rules?

• Cards that work within the 5th Edition rules with no changes needed.
• Cards that still technically function within the 5th Edition rules, but no longer function as they should.
• Cards that no longer function/don’t have a purpose at all within the 5th Edition rules.

What about the DLC characters?

What about the Legendary Decks?

Talisman: Digital Edition - Free to Play FAQ

• Fixed a crash that was caused by clicking on the Omen Tracker icon when there's was no current omen
• Fixed a crash that would happen at the end of round when Kallind was discarding Adventure cards from the board
• Fixed a crash caused by there being no valid player when evaluating whether any spell could be cast at the beginning of a turn
• Fixed a potential crash when the game tries to get the Strength/Craft value for a card that's not an Enemy
• Fix for a crash caused by the Shapeshifter using their ability against a ghost, then winning their battle at the Crown of Command (talk about specific! 👻)
• Fixed a crash that would sometimes happen when trying to view all cards on a particular location
• Previously, you'd sometimes be able to join greyed-out lobbies that you shouldn't have been able to join if you clicked fast enough. We've now made it so you can't join those lobbies, no matter how fast you think your clicking skills are.
• Fixed a crash caused by stealing things from inside something else. e.g. Stealing from within a Bag Of Carrying. (Turns out stealing from pocket dimensions causes universal collapses, who knew?)
• Fixed a crash caused by displaying a log message after something has been stolen from a player, when the original player who had their card stolen is no longer in the game
• We've updated the AI so that it should no longer use its last life to gain gold. Money is important, but it's not THAT important
• Previously, Thieving Piskies would be removed from the board after a battle. We've updated our Piskie trapping technology, so they will now stick around after a battle
• Fixed a crash caused by trying to bring a player back into the game after they had died, when they had trophies
• Fixed the 'End of Days' cards not being properly added to the board when loading a save
• Fixed the Ageless Talisman not buffing player stats correctly
• Fixed the Jin Blooded being able to incorrectly bind spells cast by Ascendant Divine
• Fix a crash caused by switching to view the inner region in the Challenge For The Crown ending
• Fix a crash caused by moving a Terrain card that has a Denizen on it
• Fixed the AI not using the 'Amateur Inventor' card properly
• Removed the infinite loop in the Battle Royale ending caused by the loser having 'Flail of Blood'

• Fixed errors that would happen when handling directory names with accented characters, eg è
• We unified network libraries across all platforms to address odd crashes that cropped up since the last patch (the one that fixed Windows 7 compatibility).

General Fixes:

• If you quit and resumed the game, you were prevented from using spells against the Lord of Darkness on the Treasure Chamber space. As much as the Lord of Darkness would have liked to keep this bug in, we’ve now fixed it so you can properly cast spells on him.
• Occasionally, the game would hang and get stuck when there was a Stand Off during the Battle Royale ending. This has now been fixed, so your battle royales can continue with no interruptions.
• We fixed an issue where finishing an online game would cause a “Lost Connection to Server” message to pop up.
• We’ve also fixed Steam Cloud saves not syncing correctly - your saves should all now save to the cloud properly, so you can continue your games on a different PC.
• Previously, the reward for the 'Defeat 100 Demons' challenge was giving people the wrong title. It has been fixed to be the correct title, so demons will now be appropriately intimidated by you.

Crash Fixes:

• A crash caused by using immobility and spell call when playing with the Sprite character.
• A crash that happened when you pressed the ‘Delete Account’ button when you didn’t have a Nomad Account.
• An occasional crash when reloading player account avatar images.

• Fix for Pit Fiends battle crash
• Fix for Settings not reloading properly

General Fixes:

• We’ve made it so that you can’t use the ‘No More Lives’ house rule while The Dancing Skulls ending is active. This is because during this ending, You can only resurrect if you have at least 1 life point which you can gain from defeating enemies (or trading in trophies depending on rule choice) or other card encounters. If you have the No More Lives rule switched on, you've basically made it incredibly difficult to get resurrected, to the point you're limited to 2 cards from the realm region's deck. So it could also become impossible to do so. So in order to avoid people getting stuck in this situation, we’ve made this change.
• Certain Legendary versions of cards weren’t causing challenges to trigger as they should, so we’ve gone ahead and fixed those cards. The Legendary Deck versions of Self Portrait, Wraith and Giant will now add to challenges when encountered.
• The Devil's Minion was previously unable to use weapon inventions during psychic combat despite the fact they can use regular weapons that are meant for psychic combat. We’ve fixed this, so now all you Devil’s Minion players can use invented weapons to your evil hearts content.
• We discovered and fixed an issue with the Witch Doctor's Evil Eye ability. If you land on a character in the centre space for the first time and there is someone already there, it's ok to use his ability. However, the game was allowing you to keep using his ability on the following turns despite not moving to land on the other character. We’ve fixed this now, so he can only use his ability when he lands on someone.
• A minor fix, but sometimes the Werewolf card wouldn’t appear properly when you encountered it - it should now be visible.
• We fixed an issue where the use of the Horn of Dread could lead to locking the game if the owner dies and then the new owner who uses it straight away loses a life.
• We fixed a bug with the Enlightened destiny card, where it would not give the player a chance to trade in 1 light fate to gain a spell. Even if the player had room for a spell in their inventory and there are no anti-spell/magic effects in play, the game still wouldn’t let them use it. This has now been fixed, and the Destiny should function properly.
• When the Ifrit Invasion card from the Fireland expansion was drawn while the Cataclysm version of the board was in use, the card wouldn’t let you roll for its effect. We’ve fixed this issue, so now the card should function as expected even when using the Cataclysm board.
• We’ve added some more localisation fixed based on feedback from the community - thanks to everyone who pointed out text that needed updating!

Crash Fixes:

• An occasional crash downloading Avatar and Challenge textures
• An occasional crash when selecting cards in a network game
• An occasional crash in CURL on Android
• A very infrequent crash when saving the game
• And more!
