Stronghold 3 - Neuer Patch veröffentlicht

Feuer kann in Stronghold 3 zu Problemen führen.

Die Entwickler der Firefly Studios haben einen neuen Patch für das Strategiespiel Stronghold 3 veröffentlicht. Das Update wird automatisch über die Online-Plattform Steam heruntergeladen, wenn sich Besitzer des Spiels dort anmelden.

Der Patch trägt laut der offiziellen Internetseite des Entwicklers die Versionsnummer 1.1.24528 und soll sich größtenteils um das Verhalten von computergesteuerten Einheiten kümmern. So sollen Bogenschützen beispielsweise ab einer gewissen Entfernung automatisch den Bogen nutzen und nicht in den Nahkampf gehen.

Der Patch bringt jedoch nicht nur Gutes, sondern auch ein neues Problem mit sich: Laut Firefly sind alle Speicherstände von vor 1.2.24396 die Feuer enthalten unbrauchbar, da sie beim Ladeversuch das Spiel zum Absturz bringen.

Hier die kompletten Patch-Notes:
