Key Highlights of Slay the Spire 2 Hotfix 1

Upon its release, players encountered a frustrating glitch: if a PC’s default language wasn’t in the list of supported languages, all in-game text defaulted to a string of “W’s.”The first hotfix has successfully resolved this issue, providing much-needed clarity:

Fixed unsupported Steam languages displaying all text as W's, ensuring fallback to English

Other improvements from this hotfix include addressing crashes related to rapid card plays, as well as resolving complexities with untranslated text in languages with intricate pluralization. Moreover, intermittent crashes experienced by players using non-English languages have also been rectified.
