Crown of Greed

Update 1.2.0 is NOW LIVE!

Greetings, Lords!

After a long period of silence, we're finally back with some important news — Crown of Greed Update 1.2.0 is officially LIVE!

First of all, we want to address something that many of you have understandably been wondering about.

Crown of Greed has NOT been abandoned.

We know that the lack of updates and communication over the past months may have left some of you disappointed or concerned about the future of the game. We understand those feelings, and we sincerely apologize for the extended silence.

During this time, we went through significant internal changes, including a restructuring of the teams responsible for the game's development and support.

Crown of Greed is now being handled directly by our internal team at ConsoleWay, which has taken responsibility for fixing existing issues, improving stability, and continuing the game's development.

These changes took time, but they were necessary to establish a stronger foundation for the future of Crown of Greed.

And today, we're taking an important step forward.

A Major Patch — Update 1.2.0

Update 1.2.0 is one of our most significant updates so far, focusing on resolving critical issues that have affected your experience.

We've addressed numerous bugs related to save files, campaign progression, crashes, game stability, hero behavior, and gameplay mechanics.

Our goal is simple: to make Crown of Greed a more stable, enjoyable, and polished experience for everyone.

General Fixes

• Fixed an issue causing save files to be deleted after completing a mission.

• Fixed an issue preventing players from starting a new campaign after save file deletion.

• Fixed an issue preventing campaign progression after a game crash.

• Fixed broken achievements.

• Fixed certain items preventing players from saving the game.

Lord of Greed Scenario

• Fixed an issue where failing to collect 50,000 gold within the time limit would not end the scenario and would make the dragon immortal.

• Fixed repeated notifications about caravans being attacked.

This Is Not the End — It's a New Beginning

We want to make one thing absolutely clear:

Crown of Greed will continue to receive support and further development.

Update 1.2.0 is not intended to be the final chapter of the game's development. It's an important step in getting things back on track.

We are aware that there may still be issues to resolve, and our team will continue working on improving the game, addressing bugs, and refining the overall experience.

We also want to improve communication with our community and keep you better informed about our progress.

A Fresh Start for Our Community

As part of these changes, we've also moved to a new official Discord server, where we'd love to reconnect with all of you.

Join our new Discord community: https://discord.gg/B2HGsXye4

This will be our main place for community discussions, feedback, bug reports, and direct communication with the team.

We Need Your Help!

With Update 1.2.0 now available, we'd like to invite everyone — especially those who stepped away from Crown of Greed because of technical issues — to give the game another chance.

Start a new campaign, revisit your kingdom, and see what's changed!

And if you encounter any bugs, unexpected behavior, or anything that doesn't seem to work as intended, please let us know.

Report the issue through our new Discord server or Steam Discussions. Whenever possible, include screenshots, a description of what happened, and steps to reproduce the problem.

Your reports and feedback are incredibly valuable. They help us identify issues faster, understand what needs attention, and make Crown of Greed better with every update.

We want to build a better game, and we'd love to have you alongside us on that journey.

Thank You for Your Patience

Finally, we want to sincerely thank everyone who has supported Crown of Greed.

To those who continued playing, reported bugs, shared feedback, or simply waited patiently for news — thank you.

We know that trust is earned through actions, not promises. That's why we're focused on delivering meaningful improvements and showing our commitment through continued work on the game.

We still have a journey ahead of us, but we're looking forward to what comes next.

The kingdom is waiting for you, Lords. Welcome back!
