Updates and Patches
May 30, 2026 at 08:28 PM
Added Launch-Week Hotfixes section covering versions 0.25.1_2 through 0.25.1_6
Romestead is in Early Access, which means it is actively being developed with player feedback. The developer has described an approach focused on listening to the community before committing to a long-term plan. Patch versions follow a major.minor.point_iteration scheme (for example, 0.25.1_1).
Both hotfixes shipped within twelve hours of the May 25 launch, addressing the most critical bugs reported by players.

0.25.1_1 | May 26, 2026 | More fixes to unenterable dungeons; falling through dungeon floors; Burning Fallen Horde no longer appears after first boss; icon updates; localization updates. |
0.25.1 | May 26, 2026 | Crash fix for Magus Ceres Scroll; unenterable dungeon fix; falling through dungeon floors; removed a stray arrow from one of the dungeons; soft-locking fix. |
