Public Testing[]

Darkwood 1.4[]

Following the game's official release and patches which ended by the end of 2019, the development of Darkwood 1.4 was then initiated in the early 2021 with the goal of optimizing and polishing the game. Due to extensive changes in the back end of the game, this version was put on the testing branch for the public and can only be accessed from there.
The following is a list of all the available[?] Release Candidates (RC) of version 1.4 public testing. Note that despite being posted on the 1.4 patch notes thread, the Final update post is not part of the testing phase, which ended with the release of RC 30, but instead is a direct hotfix to the official release of Darkwood 1.4.
