KNOWN ISSUES

• We’re aware of an issue affecting some users where they get a black screen after entering their Player Name
  - Please first try the following possible workarounds: https://firefly-studios.helpshift.com/hc/faq/558-black-screen-on-startup-stuck-on-firefly-logo/
  - For Windows N version users, a possible workaround is here: https://firefly-studios.helpshift.com/hc/en/15-stronghold-definitive-edition/faq/559-black-sreen-and-using-window-10-11-n/
  - If these do not work, we are still working on a solution and will release it ASAP. Sorry for the inconvenience.

• We’re aware that some users cannot load Help text in the in-game browser. This mainly affects SteamDeck, Proton and users with SymLinks in their Windows install. We have now added a game option that allows users to open help in the Steam overlay browser instead of the in-game browser.

• Multiplayer: We have implemented fixes to stop multiplayer games failing so often but are working on further fixes. These include fixes for joining blank lobbies, available games not being listed correctly, and regular resync issues.

• Players can show pings of all players in-game using ALT+T

• We’re looking into adding pings to Multiplayer lobbies
