Dark Queen of Samobor First Demo Patch Fixes Camera Stretches and Traps
The inaugural Dark Queen of Samobor demo patch tackles navigation bugs, tightens combat area layouts, and adds healing properties to potion refill checkpoints. Developers also updated tutorials and adjusted visual elements like waterfall colors.
The development team behind Dark Queen of Samobor has deployed the first patch for their ongoing Steam demo. The update focuses heavily on resolving frustrating movement snags, smoothing out camera issues, and adding clarity to environmental cues.
Bug Fixes and Collision Adjustments
Several camera clipping and stuttering issues have been ironed out, particularly following the third enemy encounter. The layout of combat areas was reduced and optimized to prevent players from getting stuck on rocks and walls. The patch also fixes a bug where players could get wedged at the first secret passage entrance, prevents backward climbing on large snow-area traps, and removes an unintended death trigger on the dragon skull.
Gameplay and Combat Tweaks
Potion refill checkpoints now restore health alongside refilling charges. Enemy placement throughout the level has been adjusted, and environmental traps now deal damage to enemies even while those enemies are in the middle of attacking. Additional quality-of-life adjustments include increased lever colliders, a new ledge collider ahead of falling platform sections, and expanded tutorials explaining axe-trap activation, unparriable enemy attacks, and mana refilling.
Visual Improvements
Biome introduction text now correctly disables after its initial appearance. Waterfalls have been shifted from green to white, and floor buttons requiring a player to stand on them have been recolored to distinguish them from buttons that require a hit. Skeleton models have also been tweaked for better visibility against the environment, and privacy screen button anchoring has been fixed.
Why this patch matters
By smoothing out unfair geometry hangups and ensuring checkpoints also heal, this first patch makes the Dark Queen of Samobor demo a much fairer experience for newcomers.
