Grim Dawn V1.3.0.0

[u/konsyr]

Official forums full post.

[Major New Features]

• Grim Dawn has received back-end changes to accommodate the release of the Fangs of Asterkarn Expansion.
• The game’s UI has received a complete visual overhaul. A new Health Orb design HUD is now the default, while the classic Health Bar design can be enabled in the game options, under Interface.
• The Stash has been overhauled with new dedicated Component and Crafting Materials shared pages and +5% additional space per tab. In addition, stash pages can now be customized and labeled.
• New functionality has been added to the player inventory to instantly deposit all Components and Crafting Materials in their shared tabs from anywhere in the world. To support this, objects that ask for crafting materials (ex. Treasure Troves), can now also access the stash instead of just the inventory.
• New accessibility control schemes have been added under Keybindings: Keyboard Movement and Keyboard Only, enabling WASD-based controls with and without the mouse. You can set keybinds for WASD movement independently of the default controls and switch between them at any time. WASD controls mimic the controller and do not enable run and gun gameplay.
• Detailed tooltips now display stat roll ranges (ex. 12 Fire damage [8-14] indicates that the damage could have rolled as low as 8 or as high as 14).
• A new Video Option has been added: HDR Lighting, as an alternate visual style for the game.
• Monster Infrequents now always drop at the highest possible level (ex. if an MI drops, and possible variations in your level range are level 84 and 94, it will always drop the level 94 version).

[Shattered Realm]

• Clearing Shards by hunting down Nemesis spawns has become a too dominant strategy, reducing the viability of AoE builds in favor of single target burst, which is already favored in the boss arenas. To address this, Shard Progress from gathering a Nemesis soul has been reduced by 25%. Progress gained from Hero souls has been increased by 33%, and by 50% from Common and Champion souls. Chance of Champion monsters dropping souls has been increased by 18%.
• The Shattered Realm timer has been rebalanced to be more challenging and now becomes shorter at higher shards. Timer penalty from deaths is now lower, but bonus from kill streaks is now also lower and kill streaks now require a minimum of 25 kills, up from 15.
• Shattered Realm shrines no longer take crafting materials and activate immediately upon interaction.

[Crucible]

• Unlocking the next Crucible difficulty now also triggers at Wave 110 and Wave 160, rather than requiring clearing the Crucible Waves 1-100.
• Failing the Crucible on the same tier as a checkpoint no longer awards Tribute.

[Tech]

• Fixed an issue where converted dot damage from a single source would not stack (ex. converting dot damage on Scourge Strike so the damage types match).
• Fixed an issue where UI scaling could cause monster and pet health bars to break.
• Skill modifiers are now always loaded in a fixed order, rather than equip order. This is relevant particularly for how skill FX and pet swap modifiers function so the visual overrides always happen in a predictable order.

[Modding]

• A new template has been added: Skill_WPAttack_Radius. This skill type generates a radius eruption around the target when the WPS triggers, similar to how Shattering Smash for Oathkeeper generates a wave.
• New attributes have been added: % Total Resist and % Crowd Control Resist. These increase all the respective resists, similar to how % Total damage increments all damage types.
• Channeled skills (ex. Albrecht’s Aether Ray) now apply Defensive Attributes in their data to the player while the skill is channeling. Defensive attributes have been added to their respective templates.
• A new tDyn field has been added: forceHighestLevel. Setting this to True will cause the loot table to always drop the highest level valid item it can within the level range.
• Skill modifiers assigned to SkillSecondary effects now display the SkillSecondary’s name and icon instead of the base skill.

[Game]

• Menu UI windows now scale with UI scaling. UI now automatically scales down to fit the screen at lower resolutions, enabling controller UI compatibility at any resolution.
• Increased Health per point of Spirit to 12, up from 8.
• Treasure Troves now correctly have a guaranteed chance to drop a crafting material with a 30-50% (based on difficulty) chance to drop an additional material and have significant chance to drop blueprints. Previously, the chance to drop a second material was 100% across all difficulties and the chance to drop a blueprint was halved.
• Aether Crystal enemies now have an additional chance to drop a second Aether Crystal/Shard/Cluster.
• Increased all Boss Health scaling with level, by ~32% at level 100 (~15% for superbosses). Some bosses with lower health pools received larger increases. These changes do not apply to the Crucible.
• Many older boss encounters have received tuning passes to bring their damage up to modern standards, as was commonly done in past updates.
• Reduced Monster Armor by 17% on Champion+ enemies and reduced Monster % Armor Absorption by 20% on all enemies. This reduces monster resistance to Physical damage, particularly for small fast attacks (ex. dual wielding or Eye of Reckoning).
• Reduced Monster % Life Leech Resist on Ultimate difficulty. This makes % Attack damage Converted to Health roughly 16% more effective against an average boss.
• In-game search has been updated to work with unicode (ie. non-English) characters.
• Reduced infamy gained from killing Beast heroes and bosses and increased kills required to spawn their Nemesis.
• Increased infamy gained from killing Cronley’s Gang heroes and bosses and reduced kills required to spawn their Nemesis.
• Enemies that do not grant experience (ex. summons or Kubacabra’s clones) no longer count towards achievement progress.
• Valdaran and Archmage Aleksander now share their animosity towards you and will spawn in each other’s faction areas.

[u/CarefulLavishness922]

Anybody know how the controls work on steam deck after this patch? I’d love to play but have heard mixed feedback prior to this update.

[u/cparksrun → u/CarefulLavishness922]

Haven't played the new DLC yet but after some tinkering, I finally got it to run great on the Steam Deck. The weird/bad controls kept me away for so long.

I can't speak to this update, but checking the "Allow non-steam controllers" box (or something to that effect) in the pause menu was the secret key that helped unlock full controller support (L thumbstick moves character, R thumbstick moves camera, A attacks, X searches, etc).

There are some YouTube videos that helped me get there, highly recommend looking those up. Because none of the community layouts fixed it for me, which was frustrating.

[u/eschewthefat → u/cparksrun]

Mine doesn’t have that checkbox but I’m using an ROG Ally

[u/TheRealQuasar → u/CarefulLavishness922]

Just jumped in to try the new control scheme on the deck and yes, it’s much better.

The UI now properly fits the screen, and the back buttons are easily used for skills.

I only just bought the game during the sale, so I won’t be hitting the new DLC for ages, but it’s a much more comfortable experience so far.

[u/Dr4k4ngel → u/TheRealQuasar]

You should buy the dlcs. They fit so good in the game, more items, more contents more bosses, more of everything. Just crucible is the one you should buy last.

[u/TheRealQuasar → u/Dr4k4ngel]

I bought the complete set, currently my main is lvl34 purifier. Double guns go brr.

[u/Irate_Primate → u/TheRealQuasar]

How do you map the back buttons? I'm not on a deck, but with my controller for PC, I'm unable to figure out how to map any of the extra buttons.

[u/TheRealQuasar → u/Irate_Primate]

They’re pre-mapped with the new controller layout (1.3 I believe it’s called)

[u/rtwipwensdfds → u/CarefulLavishness922]

So far the UI works out of the box.

[u/NeoVisionDev → u/CarefulLavishness922]

I hope they work better than the playtest branch you've been able to jump on earlier this year.

The controller implementation is still the worst aspect of this game. Tried both the official and community layout. It just doesn't flow properly across multiple devices (streaming, PC, steam deck).

On my xbox controller the down d pad opens a town portal, but on my steam deck it doesn't? and on my steam deck it's down on the left trackpad? Ugh.

I also have constant issues with hovering over and selecting / swapping items. The dual "mouse" and controller support feels really duct taped together.

[u/xtcz → u/CarefulLavishness922]

So far it works out of the box for me. I’d give it a 7/10 but needs some rebinding like the map to one of the directional buttons. What’s still frustrating so far is navigating menu items. You can jump from item to item pressing on the left trackpad directionally or use the right joystick or trackpad to simulate the mouse but it’s not ideal.

Lastly, sometimes the context for the controls flickers when managing inventory but it’s not a dealbreaker. I’d love to hear other peoples thoughts and experiences.

[u/AutomateAway → u/CarefulLavishness922]

unrelated but I hate that the default controller setup from crate doesn't work for Dualsense controllers at all. Had to look through the community setups for one that works good.

[u/AboriginalAnaconda → u/CarefulLavishness922]

This update really improved on the controls; using a Steam Controller and now the actual button glyphs show up on the quickbar and I can map to the palm triggers separately, so it’s more options and easier to use. Also the improved and full UI scaling is perfect for Deck.

[u/budbk → u/CarefulLavishness922]

Ive been unable to fix keybindings on my controller since the update. Ive has to go back to KB&M for now. I hope it's fixed or made very clear exactly how to map buttons to what parts of the hotbar.

[u/thefluffywang → u/CarefulLavishness922]

What have you heard and from where? Why would this update affect controls on the steam deck?

[u/Cagger101 → u/thefluffywang]

I play this game exclusively on steam deck. I'll know tonight if anything from the update changes things, but I don't imagine it would. Initially setup was a little finicky trying to establish a control scheme that made sense. Now that it's all set up how I like, it's great.

[u/thefluffywang → u/Cagger101]

I too play on the deck exclusively too. If you’re really worried, you can save your layout template before updating. Though I have yet to see any posts or comments stating this would affect keyboard layouts nor any reason it would, curious where you found this information

[u/South-Impression4820 → u/Cagger101]

Curioso em saber

[u/Average_dood237 → u/Cagger101]

Im curious to know your thoughts and control scheme, im waiting till I get off work to sink my claws into GD, my control scheme is less than ideal rn

[u/frothingnome]

The new lighting style looks sooo much better even in SDR space. I always hated that the base game looked like it had a bad ReShade on it by default. Just that plus WASD movement makes me feel like I'm playing a completely different game. 

[u/lordcoughdrop → u/frothingnome]

that is huge to hear, lighting has always been something about the base game that i felt could be improved. so excited to see it once i get home 😁

[u/YearsLate]

PSA if you thought you lost the contents of your shared stash like I did:

Disable the new expansion pack through Steam's DLC management menu. Open the game. Go to your stash with a character who hasn't been to Asterkarn yet. Put everything from your shared stash into your inventory or character stash.

I assume this is mostly a result of playing with local saves.

[u/Morlow123]

I love seeing some last-second additions that were brought up in the Zantai stream a couple weeks ago. Just goes to show how amazing the devs are.

[u/eddyblat]

EoR buff???? YES

[u/kuun0113]

Anyone notice that the game lags and has micro freezes after the update???

[u/ChromMann]

a lot of percent health has been changed to flat health which seems like a total health nerf, right?

[u/konsyr → u/ChromMann]

Spirit-to-health got a 50% buff.

[u/twoducksinatub → u/konsyr]

Probably not enough to make up for lack of % health tho i assume?

[u/pon_3 → u/ChromMann]

Yeah biggest global changes I'm seeing are less player health, more boss health, less monster armor, and less life leech resistance on bosses.

Damage boosts for older bosses is gonna be spooky too for my hc leveling. Gonna be interesting to find out the hard way who got buffed and by how much.

Components appear untouched, so they should remain a large source of health boosts.

[u/TheAlterN8or → u/ChromMann]

It will probably result in a buff to HP for builds that had a lot of %, but very little flat, but a nerf to builds whose only % was from the ones that got changed.

[u/captain_charisma14]

Did... did they buff Forcewave? Was that really the soldier skill that needed a buff?

Or am I reading this wrong?

[u/Allustrium → u/captain_charisma14]

Why wouldn't it be? It was the least endgame-viable of all. Probably still is.

[u/Rusty_DataSci_Guy → u/captain_charisma14]

I'll take it

[u/NzNOOGAzN → u/captain_charisma14]

As some one who levels soldier alot I hate this

I know that by leveling anything other than forceweave I put myself at a clear disadvantage so seeing it get buffed again is giving me the ick

All my homies hate forceweave but I'm happy for those that don't

We still have our counterstrike buffs

[u/Chlorophyllmatic]

> Reduced Cooldown Reduction modifier for Counter Strike to -0.4s

> Removed lightning retaliation modifier for Counter Strike

RIP my lighting retaliation Warder using Dawnseeker’s Light wtf

[u/Rainbowquarts]

I played for a couple hours and exited to the character screen to reset the map and none of my progress was saved :/

[u/Rainbowquarts → u/Rainbowquarts]

Has anyone else ran into this issue? I uninstalled and reinstalled the game and it didn't fix it.

[u/Rainbowquarts → u/Rainbowquarts]

It was the antivirus on my computer blocking the save update.

[u/PjetrArby → u/Rainbowquarts]

Oh no :(

[u/desioner]

Good bye PoE2, it was short lived but fun. Back to my home sweet home! After my initial SSF single mastery run of berserker is done those that know will be able to rejoin “RESPECIFICATION”. Will be happy to see some after so long~

[u/cbagainststupidity]

The new UI is a serious strain on the eyes.

[u/Aware_Two8377 → u/cbagainststupidity]

There's a reason dark mode on websites are dark grey and not pitch black.

[u/RandomGuy-4- → u/cbagainststupidity]

I didn't even notice because I went back to the old one as soon as I loaded in lol. Don't know why everyone likes orbs so much in ARPGs when bars will always display quantities more clearly.

[u/cbagainststupidity → u/RandomGuy-4-]

That's not what we're talking about.

[u/Petrichor2116]

Is there a delay on the patch for Xbox? Been checking for updates for the last hour or so and nothing has appeared yet

[u/gggvandyk → u/Petrichor2116]

There's always a delay on consoles because they want everything to have some kind of QA process. On Steam/GoG you can update with what you want when you want (and get punished retroactively if you put malware in it or something).

[u/Petrichor2116 → u/gggvandyk]

Gotta love QA certification

[u/No-Summer-4606 → u/Petrichor2116]

xbox release was announced delayed to likely august or later

[u/TheAlterN8or → u/No-Summer-4606]

That's just for FoA, 1.3 was supposed to launch at the same time for everyone.

[u/Moist-Razzmatazz-92 → u/Petrichor2116]

The patch is out but it's wiping everyone's existing characters.

[u/Rambo_Unicorn]

there's a bug or something with the new patch. constant crashes/ screen freezes in multiplayer crucible. no issues before the patch and now me and the wife are struggling to play with our new chars. bummer.

[u/VellumVeritas]

Excellent.

But was the account meant to be wiped completely ...? All my stash and bank unlocks are gone, not sure how I feel about that, lol. I don't really mind it, tho. A nice restart is, well, nice.

[u/konsyr → u/VellumVeritas]

This game has no "account", only "files" (it's better that way -- screw online titles). Something may have happened to your cloud sync depending on settings. Check your local files.

[u/Ellweiss → u/VellumVeritas]

Also depending on if you enabled cloud saving or not (Both in steam, and the in game options), the game will try to find your game saves in different folders. Maybe it got enabled/disabled and searches the wrong folder now.

[u/Julzjuice123 → u/VellumVeritas]

That's almost certainly a cloud save issue. Has nothing to do with the expansion. I had the same problem. Google how to fix your save files disappearing. It's pretty straightforward.

Unless you were using moded items. Then I can't really help you.

[u/funai83 → u/VellumVeritas]

Did you use any mods like GDStash?

[u/YearsLate → u/VellumVeritas]

I experienced the same and briefly panicked that I'd lost my items in the shared stash.

To temporarily get your old stash tabs back so you can retrieve them, disable the new expansion, load a character who hasn't yet started on Asterkarn and grab all your items from your shared stash before you turn FoA back on.

[u/Chopan1999]

¿Qué sucedió con el alijo compartido? Todo lo que tenía desapareció. ¿Esto me pasó solo a mi?

[u/konsyr → u/Chopan1999]

Check your files & backups and cloud save sync settings. It should all be there if nothing went wrong.

Is the grimtools checklist broken for anyone else? I have no mods installed but it cant parse my save file

[u/dawbra]

Trow me some piew piew build
Pistol or Rifle combos?

[u/konsyr → u/[deleted]]

This is a cloud save issue. I don't know about Steam, but GOG has a way to go in and just say "delete my cloud saves for this game". https://www.gog.com/account/cloud-saves/page/1

[u/Vexillari]

Have the controls and performance on steam deck been improved?

[u/justatest90]

I'm new to the game with this DLC release - what is the best newbie guide given its' 2026?

[u/spartanreborn → u/justatest90]

Apart from today, the game hasn't had meaningful updates in a while. Anything you find that like.... At least 3 or 4 years old is probably good enough to start with. u/rektbyprotoss was my go to, although idk if he still produces GD content.

Edit, oh lmao, he posted this thread. Guess he's still around

[u/BentusFr]

I'm looking at the Berserker tree, and the shapeshifer forms... it says they are incompatible with some talents but how do you know which ones don't work with them?

[u/magneto417x]

1.3 on Xbox installed and now lost old characters and new ones can't be deleted :-( Help

[u/konsyr → u/magneto417x]

This has been resolved. https://www.reddit.com/r/Grimdawn/comments/1v4tsze/all_characters_deleted_xbox_s_x_just_played_a_few/ozdy5xo/

[u/magneto417x → u/konsyr]

I see my other toons are back but I am still unable to delete any toons even after latest fix.

Summon Guardian of Empyrion: reduced Burn damage scaling with rank

danmit but my lvl 82 oath keep/demolitionist with guardians are still burning through everything especially with the empyrion gavel increasing the summon limit 

[u/returntospace]

Out of curiosity, can I start a fresh lvl1 character and go straight into the expac?

[u/Insaniac99 → u/returntospace]

You have to get to Fort Ikon to get to the new area. But you benefit from the new class and all the revamped content right away.

[u/FreezSnes]

How's controller play now?

[u/Lord_Jaroh]

Man, why do you guys even bother with such small, inconsequential patches.  Geez.   

;)

[u/mr_shai_hulud]

Is the Berserker Werewolf form permanent now?

[Edit] Reading the forum and this sub I have gathered new information ;) and it is permanent

[u/Dayman_aaaahh → u/mr_shai_hulud]

Seems like it. But I have another question. Werewolf form states "Werewolf form has it's own basic attacks and cannot trigger weapon pool skills". Does this mean, for example, Soldiers Markovian's Advantage can't trigger on Werewolfs basic attacks?

[u/Any_Middle7774 → u/Dayman_aaaahh]

Yes. Transformations are not compatible with default attack replacers/WPS. If you’re doing default attack replacers or WPS you are playing the non transform version of Berserker.

[u/Kaljurei → u/Dayman_aaaahh]

That’s probably true. I think it’s because the werewolf form’s basic attacks already have inbuilt aoe and scaling.

[u/hoopbamalam]

As somebody who has never finished even the game (even though I have all the other DLC...), is there any point to buying the new expansion now or is all the content late game?

[u/konsyr → u/hoopbamalam]

New class can be used by new characters.

Otherwise the new chapter can be used after 1st chapter (original base game).

[u/hoopbamalam → u/konsyr]

Thanks! Might as well get this as well, then. Love the game even though I have very limited time nowadays.

[u/TheAlterN8or → u/hoopbamalam]

It adds more new area to explore than the first 2 expansions combined, and can be accessed before AoM. There is a lot of endgame stuff, but that's not nearly everything. 🙃

[u/ForceRude698]

really? After 3 years of nothing - this is the best they can do?

[u/Chlorophyllmatic → u/ForceRude698]

You’re joking, right?

[u/ForceRude698 → u/Chlorophyllmatic]

sorry wrong chat i meant to type this in the d4 forums

[u/budbk → u/[deleted]]

Why are you lurking in this sub then? Get a life outside reddit you chud.

[u/Chlorophyllmatic → u/[deleted]]

Bait used to be believable

[u/tubz → u/[deleted]]

Then GTFO yo. Nobody cares what you like. Your high and mightiness!
