Today we’re rolling out Cross-Save capabilities to PC, PlayStation, and Xbox versions of DD:A! This feature will allow players to seamlessly link progression and save data across up to three accounts–one on each of the aforementioned platforms. The linking of two or more accounts is permanent, so please be sure to thoroughly read the information and F.A.Q. provided within this post! Cross Save When establishing Cross-Save, players will designate one primary account. The save data and progression of the primary account will be used to overwrite any save data and progression of any linked secondary accounts. Please select your primary account carefully. Once a link has been established, your entitlements from your secondary account(s) will transfer to your primary account. DLC will not transfer from one account to another. The DLC must be owned on both platforms to be utilized within the Transmog menu. There is nothing preventing two linked accounts from being logged into simultaneously, although this is likely to cause data loss on one or more of the linked accounts. Please do not attempt this as customer support will not be capable of restoring your game save! Linking Accounts Launch Dungeon Defenders: Awakened and select 'Play Online'. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36219846/b19bffab32893fdf566eb072c0f2d6bb4672c18f.png Navigate to the ‘Options’ menu and select the ‘Account’ tab. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36219846/622c0ce31581b96acbb301b98f3140ab83521acc.png Navigate to https://link.dungeondefenders.com/. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36219846/dac1157060768cfb6d58cb59c613959f34d64c3d.png Copy your PlayFab Support ID and Link Code from the ‘Account’ menu. If you intend on using this as your primary account, paste these codes into the ‘Primary PlayFabId’ and “Primary Link Code’ fields on https://link.dungeondefenders.com/. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36219846/f716c6eeba1ec0072e323ef2248c4058dedfb244.png If you are linking a secondary account, paste these codes into the ‘Secondary PlayFabId’ and ‘Secondary Link Code’ sections. Please note that the save data of secondary accounts will be overwritten and is not recoverable. Close all instances of Dungeon Defenders: Awakened. Click ‘Establish Link’, and enjoy your seamless cross-save capabilities! Repeat these steps as necessary if linking more than one secondary account. F.A.Q. Q: Can I unlink my account(s)? A: Linking your accounts via Cross-Save is permanent, and can not be undone. Q: I’ve accidentally made the wrong account my primary account–can anything be done? A: Once a primary account has been designated, it can’t be changed. Q: How long does the linking process take? A: Configuring Cross-Save only takes a few minutes. Once the link is established, Cross-Save will usually activate within five minutes. Q: Will my saves be merged? A: No, only the primary account’s save will be available after the link has been established.

Today, we released a small hotfix to address recently discovered issues within the live build, including an issue that was improperly flagging some users for cheating. Fixes Fixed an issue where loot would appear invisible when swapping heroes. Fixed “Patch Notes" button linking to the wrong update. Fixed an issue where the 'Tavern Stash' was causing some players to be incorrectly flagged as a hacker. For those affected, you will no longer be hacker flagged upon your next login. Improved the tooltip experience within the 'Tavern Stash' based on player feedback. Better optimized interactables (e.g., objects that you can look at and a UI appears) with the changes that were made for split-screen in non-split-screen games. Split-Screen, Tavern Stash, and More!Feb 1, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsDungeon Defenders: Awakened - Split-Screen, Tavern Storage and Cross-Save Update Greetings, Defenders! Today the additions and changes from the Public Test Realm come to the live game, along with the foundation for Cross-Save and more fixes. Our appreciate goes out to all Defenders who participated in the PTR, and those that provided feedback! You'll find these patch notes strikingly similar to our previous post on the 17th of January, so we've provided the courtesy of bolding new additions. Split-Screen Implemented Split-Screen! This feature is currently limited to two players. To enabling Split-Screen; Grab a keyboard and a controller (or two controllers). If using only one controller, go to the options menu, and within the 'Gameplay' tab select 'Use First Gamepad for Player 2'. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36219846/ca48253632a258d486778128b9efa5f2cf5187e0.png In the top-right of your pause menu, add another player as usual, but as opposed to selecting 'Online', you'll select 'Split-Screen'. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36219846/0f5d1d58e80a424eece2767c57a4700e967d3aec.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36219846/fa8962eb03ca3be56e80364932599a06df19da9a.png Get defending! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36219846/d61d11cff183207a1cc99c4f82bec0804bb03dbf.png Tavern Stash Implemented the Tavern Stash! This new storage system can hold up to 1000 items, and is accessible--as the name implies--within your Tavern! Player Inventory Reduced from 525 to 200 slots (any overflow items have been moved to your Tavern Stash). This also greatly improves multiplayer load times. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36219846/01ddca8fcccc2146b7f10f35fbd15bb9a3876dae.png Quality of Life Rune tooltips now include which hero can effectively utilize the rune. Hosts of multiplayer games will notice a new hint for force-readying other players (the current shortcut is Ctrl + G on PC). Client party icons now default to the player's current hero if playing offline or Steam is unavailable. When one or more accessories are not equipped on the current hero, a warning for the associated slot(s) will be displayed on the transmog UI. When trading, players can now type "1M" / "1B" / "1T" to add a million / billion / trillion gold respectively. Players are now able to toggle their match between public and private with the 'Change Access' option on the pause menu. Players can manually lower the rank of any given rune in the 'Runes' tab. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36219846/f8dc761e541d53040cd8e8c7b0d020828fccd21f.png Fixes Fixed an issue where swapping heroes during Guardian's 'Shield Slam' would no longer allow you to move. Fixed a crash related to selling multiple items at once. Fixed a gap left of a spawn door on Bazaar that the player could crawl through. Fixed a typo in the description of Guardian's 'Divine Judgement'. Fixed Warden's Action Wheel tooltips not filling out their numerical values. EV's Action Wheel now includes descriptions for her 'Plasma Defense System' and 'Heat Cannon Defenses'. Fixed a formatting issue in Huntress' 'Poison Trap' ...PTR Hotfix 1/26/24Jan 26, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHotfixes: Fixed an issue where split-screen profiles were not saving correctly in the PTR build. Fixed an issue where in-world item tooltips would be cut off in some non-16:9 resolutions. Fixed an issue where enemies damaged in the middle of a stun would look like they’re doing nothing, rather than actually being in a stun/cough animation. In split-screen, player 2’s highlight pointer now displays as expected in the pause menu. Fixed an issue in the Stats UI where hero DPS was only updating correctly when adding to Attack points, not subtracting. The tavern stash’s “Transfer All” keybind now displays correctly. Both search bar filters now work as expected in the Tavern Stash UI. Fixed an issue where “Auto-Loot Overflows to Stash” setting wasn’t in Gameplay settings. Fixed an issue where Player 1 profile saves were incorrectly named in the PTR build. Please note that the previous hotfix incorrectly removed “_PTR_35190” from the save file, so if you’ve played during that time, you’ll want to add this to the end of your save file’s name to keep progress. Core Transmog tab has been hidden again. Fixed an issue where Summoner’s Phase Shift being used on Player 2 caused Player 1 to lose focus of the viewport. Because of engine limitations, only Player 1 goes into top-down mode during Phase Shift. When Player 2 uses Phase Shift, they can look around as usual in third-person mode. In the action context menu (e.g., the menu when interacting with an item in the inventory), highlight focus is now shown with a border. Fixed an issue where the main bag filter (All Items) was not saving the filters when using the Tavern Stash UI. Please note that it is intended for the “All Items” bag filter to not save to the actual profile, allowing it to reset to no filters on game restart (This is how it acts on live). You can now properly click the bag filters in the Tavern Stash and Trading UIs as expected. Fixed an issue where “Auto-Loot Overflows to Stash” wasn’t auto-looting into stash as expected. Fixed an issue where “insert gamepad offset setting name here” wasn’t applying properly when restarting the game. Split-Screen and Tavern Stash PTRJan 17, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsDungeon Defenders: Awakened PTR - January 17th, 2024 The PTR is available to all players who own Dungeon Defenders: Awakened on Steam.

This should help either fix stuck mobs or kill them off much quicker instead of waiting for them to timeout. Additionally Flying enemies are exempt from this system, due to their special pathing. Strengthen Field Rune Now heals back a % of the damage from reflected projectiles increasing per rune rank. Additionally it now properly drops at the correct map & act. Spiders They will now hunt down towers instead of chilling at the core. Rift Spiders are able to throw webs again. King's Game Now has some ambient sounds. Bugfixes: Rift Portals now spawn after wave 1010 in endless survival. Foundries and Forges Furnace collision has been updated.

This update contains King’s Game, a recreation of the DD1 map, Player Titles and an overhaul to how special enemies spawn in the wave. While this update is a on the smaller side, our goal is to continue to break up large chunk updates into more bitesize updates that constantly improve player experience instead of having long periods between updates. New Map - King's Game {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36219846/f72021f2141da8c302cdcfb8684949150a4b9eb5.jpg This was a very popular DD1 map and has been highly requested to return to DDA. We’ve brought back the Dice pet as a map's pet reward. This pet will offer a lot of similar features to the original but with some slight changes to fit DDA’s design. We've seen feedback from players about bringing back some of the weapons from Kings Game and this is something we will continue to investigate, as well as potentially look into some new runes to populate the map rewards a bit more. Player Titles {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36219846/2b046e162e6211bf53ff3c3782f725123b8bd664.png Player Titles were a reward offered during our Kickstarter, BackerKit and Xsolla pre-order days. Adding this will allow players to display a title below their nameplate for other players to see when playing in multiplayer. We will be looking into distributing the special player titles in the near future, and will let players know once those have started going out. There are also a handful of player titles that are tied to achievements. That way if you didn’t get any of those rewards you will still be able to have access to titles. New Schedule System A new schedule system to help evenly spread-out the special enemies throughout the wave, without the many flaws of the current system causing enemies to come out too quickly or delay the wave waiting to spawn. This should help with the issue players were seeing with having to wait for ogres or sirens at the end of the wave to spawn. Balance & Changes Guardian Owl Perch Disabled attack rate overflow which was causing damage values to go higher than intended as the Owl Perch doesn't have a traditional attack rate and more of a reset time. Fixed issue with Texture Streaming setting not enabling properly, this should hopefully help with some of the textures not loading properly.This will be a monitored changed for any issues that may arise. Fixed issue with Holy Cannon rune killing Rift Portals. Giraffe now gives 20% Cast Rate.Mista Mine now gives 30% Cast Rate. Guardian SFX have been updatedTavern Storage (Postponed) While Tavern Storage was one of the features we had hoped to include in the update, during the PTR there were a couple of reported issues that needed more time to be investigated and as such we’ll be giving this feature a little more time to cook as we look into those. That said we are hopeful it shouldn’t be too far behind and our goal is to get it in the game when possible. What’s Next? We’ll be working on investigating the remaining issues with Tave...New PTR Update available for testing!May 19, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsDefenders, This update is open for PTR testing! The update is centered around bringing some long requested features and quality of life to the game. The addition of Tavern Storage for players to more effectively store items, and Player Titles for various Kickstarter tier rewards and Gameplay wise we are also bringing back King's game from DD1 and testing a new enemy schedule system for Survival and Mixed mode. How to Join We want you to join the PTR! If you own Dungeon Defenders: Awakened on PC/Steam, check out our forum post that shows you exactly how to join! PTR Reward Given this is a smaller PTR test and the different nature of it we won’t be offering a new reward, but you are able to earn any of the previous PTR rewards if you are missing any. We’ll be offering a smaller choice of rewards in the survey as we'll be rotating the different rewards in the PTR as offering tons of different rewards complicates sending out the rewards. This includes the following rewards: Egyptian Eagle WingsCrystalline CorgiRGB Pumpkin MaskA Giveaway entry for a Pizza Wings Transmog (3x Winners) New Map - King's Game {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36219846/36e12fffbc936c3c8eb9350b60da40f5aef74fec.png This was a very popular DD1 map and has been highly requested to return to DDA. We'll be bringing this map back as closely as possible to the original including the Dice Pet that was an iconic reward from the map. The PTR Survey specifically will ask about what you would like to see the Dice Pet do as well as ask if you would like to see the special tiles return. Tavern Storage {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36219846/5372f9d99743e68dbe5ef7d5a8694a25a8254358.png Tavern Storage gives players a way to store items outside of their inventory. This increases quality of life by allowing you to have cleaner inventories when going into gameplay maps and additionally greatly reduces load times for multiplayer. Players will start with a set amount of storage space of 999, and will be able to unlock more by acquiring rare consumables throughout the game. Though those consumables are not part of the PTR. With this change, we will be reducing the size of the normal inventory as we want players to be utilizing the extra tavern storage available while benefiting from increased load times for multiplayer. Player Titles {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36219846/2b046e162e6211bf53ff3c3782f725123b8bd664.png Player Titles were a reward offered during our Kickstarter, BackerKit and Xsolla pre-order days. Adding this will allow players to display a title below their nameplate for other players to see when playing in multiplayer. There are also a handful of player titles that are tied to achievements. That way if you didn’t get any of those rewards you will still be able to have access to titles. That said, in the PTR you won’t have access to Kickstarter, BackerKit and Xsolla titles. New Special Enemy Schedule System Currently only available in Survival and Mixed Mode, but this is a new schedule system to help evenly spread-out ...2023 DDA COMMUNITY FEEDBACK SURVEY & ROADMAP UPDATEApr 28, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsDEFENDERS, DDA Community Feedback Survey With the Episode 2 Part 2 update live we wanted to take some time to gather feedback as we plan and prepare for future DDA updates this year. As such we’ve created a Survey for players to fill out to steer the direction of things and ask some questions about various game related topics. Survey Link: https://forms.gle/zenPttoDaA8LdHA86 If you fill out the survey and you can enter in for a chance to win one of the following rewards: Golden Corgi Pet Transmog (All Platforms) Pizza Wings Transmog  (All Platforms) Rifted Corgi Cover Transmog  (All Platforms) Golden Fish Sword Transmog  (PC, Xbox and PlayStation) DDA DLC Item of your choice (Has to be available on your platform) The Survey will run for 2 weeks, after which the survey will be closed and we'll pick a winner for each of the prizes above! Winners will be reached out on the platform selected in the survey. Updated Roadmap {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36219846/3918604ea5e3a6e221669d4b814f784e47eafac7.png Additionally we’ve taken some time to update the road map with some of the upcoming features we are working on. A lot of these have been features that are long overdue or have been highly requested. Can check out the full site at: https://app.loopedin.io/dungeon-defenders-awakened The goal moving forward is to try to release smaller more focused updates containing individual groups of features or maps instead of doing large bundled episode updates. As for a team our size trying to make, test and release multiple maps, a hero, new features, bosses, etc can often lead to some things being forgotten about and we want to limit that as much as possible. That said, let's talk about some of the items listed. Tavern Storage As the title says, Tavern storage will be an additional inventory space that players can transfer items from their inventory into the Tavern Storage, This feature will be a nice QoL for many players, as it solves a handful of problems and frustrations. Such as the following: Having cleaner inventory by moving long term items into the stash, and making new items easier to identify and keep track of. It will mean reduced load times when joining games in multiplayer as there’s less profile data needed to be transferred to other players. Generally just means players can store more items too. Crystal Core Transmog This feature doesn’t need much introduction. As in DD1 players will be able to swap the Crystal Core model to one of their liking and show it off to other players when hosting a game. These will be earned through gameplay as well as we’ll likely have some specific ones available through Supporter Bundles like how we do with Hero Costumes. In-Game Titles While this isn't a very exciting feature, it’s one that is long overdue. For those that supported us through Kickstarter, Backer-Kit or Xsolla will receive their In-Game Titles according to their reward tiers. Outside of that we plan to also add additional titles that can be earned through gamep...Episode 2 Part 2 - April 25th, 2023 HotfixApr 25, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsGame Version v2.1.0.34989 Balance: Owl Perch Removed DPS from the tooltip to avoid confusion.

This includes the following rewards: Forest Ally’s WingsEagle’s WingsCrystalline CorgiRGB Pumpkin MaskA Giveaway entry for a Golden Corgi Pet Transmog Early Game Changes We've heard a lot of player feedback about the early game and so one of the main goals for these changes is to increase the difficulty of the early game to help better match the power level of players and entertain players who want a harder experience. At the same time our goal is also not to make the early game too difficult as some players do want an easier experience. That said here are the following changes Hard is now unlocked from the beginning.We’ve shifted all the difficulties down from Easy to Insane, What this means is the following:Easy - The difficulty of what Medium used to be.Medium - The difficulty of what Hard used to be.Hard - The Difficulty of what Insane used to be and slightly harder.Insane - Is what Insane used to be but with higher scaling to be a new middle ground between Hard and Nightmare.We’ve changed how progression unlocks work, the way it works now is the following:If a map is unlocked on any difficulty, you can play that map on a higher difficulty without having to play it on lower difficulties first.Example: If you’ve beaten The Throne Room on medium, you can play Endless Spires on any difficulty you have unlocked (Insane, Nightmare or Massacre) assuming you meet the requirements.Removed gear level requirements until nightmare to allow players to equip the gear they are getting as they progress.Insane is now unlocked after beating Easy, Medium or Hard on Campaign Summit.Decreased Nightmare Level requirement to 60 from 70Decreased Massacre Level requirement to 80 from 83.Added some new difficulty explanation popup for when you open the map select for the first time.Maps are now hidden on the map select if you don’t have the difficulty unlocked and it explains why the difficulty is locked.Increased IPWR on Swords and Polearms to help bring them in more in line with Staffs and Crossbows.Greatly Reduced the amount of stats that item effects provide in the early game Ex: Armor giving +50 Fortify on a ...
