Dungeon Settlers v0.4.12 Cuts Starting Resources and Fixes UI Glitches

Dungeon Settlers update v0.4.12 adjusts starting resources for Devastation difficulty, increases Abyss Chest rewards, and resolves numerous animation and interface bugs.

The latest update for Dungeon Settlers targets quality-of-life issues, starting balance, and graphical errors. Version v0.4.12 delivers adjustments to resource counts, fixes menu navigation blocks, and cleans up character presentation.

Difficulty Balance and Rewards

Devastation difficulty now starts players with 1 Cog Wheel instead of 2. Meanwhile, Abyss Chest rewards have been rebalanced to grant increased quantities.

Interface and Menu Fixes

The Create Campaign window no longer closes when pressing the Esc key or clicking outside the interface. The Recreation construction category no longer incorrectly displays the Defense tooltip, startup notice tooltips are fixed, and TEST key bindings have been removed from Key Settings. Additionally, the recruitment refresh confirmation pop-up no longer stays open when pressing the Confirm Notice key, and the Wishlist button has been removed from the Title menu.

Visuals and Localization

An animation conflict between Near Death and Severely Exhausted states is fixed, ensuring Near Death takes priority and the sleep animation resumes properly upon recovery. Chinese and Japanese unit names now display correctly during Expedition Team creation, and text entry errors have been corrected. Finally, Lycan profile data has been adjusted so new recruits appear without facial decals to match their portraits, though previously recruited Lycans remain unchanged.

Why this patch matters

Version v0.4.12 provides necessary bug fixes and smooths out menu snags while tightening the early game economy on the highest difficulty.
