Forsworn - Patch v1.0.20

Patch v1.0.20

Released on 9/29/2026

Graphics optimization, more QoL & Bug fixes.

Graphics Optimization

For best performance, set Frame Rate to Capped (60fps)!

Overall GPU load should be decreased by 25-50% (depending on level). This was tested on the machines I have available, and could vary based on your specific hardware.

Quality of Life Improvements

  • Artifact Selection: Your last used Artifacts are now saved and auto-selected when creating a new party/game
  • Armor / Thorns: Armor now mitigates Thorns damage received at a 1:1 ratio (1 Armor reduces Thorns taken by 1).
  • Endless Leaderboard: The leaderboard can now be viewed during your run, located in the Pause menu.
  • Chest Auto-loot: Items auto-looted from a chest now show up in the Rewards screen so players can see their obtained loot and know that it's working
  • Ultimate Ability Preview: Ultimate Abilities for each subclass now show up in the Loadout Management screen. Players can now see what Ultimate Ability will be active when selecting their Subclass.

Bug Fixes

  • Hungering Flame (Wizard) now properly triggers with damage procc'ing items when dealing damage (ie. Anomaly, Band of the Raging Storm)
  • Movement Bar for your friend's heroes now updates properly in Multiplayer
  • Heightened Senses (Ranger) now correctly stacks damage bonus if cast multiple times per turn

  • Fixed Death's Call (Assassin Ultimate) not applying multi-hit damage to the marked target
  • Map button now appears when using the Upgrade Site for you to view while upgrading abilities

  • Fixed an issue with Blessing Previews appearing incorrectly when choosing Blessings via the starting hooded figure
  • Fixed Purge (Wizard) not applying multiple Shield per debuff cleansed
  • Fixed Heaven's Descent (Paladin) not applying bonus damage to Shattered enemies
  • Fixed Spirit Guardian (Monk) not properly applying Shield Generation to the Shield it created via damage dealt
  • Fixed Soothsayer's Emblem (Item) to properly trigger when ending turn without Shield
  • Fixed Flash Freeze (Wizard) where it sometimes would not include bonus damage from freshly applied Frostbite stacks
  • Fixed Avenging Wrath (Paladin) not stacking Thorns when cast multiple times per turn
  • Endless Shop Merchant no longer consumes your item remembrance when refreshing his stock
