Patch 1.0.1 – Deeper, Safer, Shared

Hey delvers! Patch 1.0.1 is live. It's all about getting you down the stairs safely – and making sure nobody in your party walks out with empty pockets.

Fixes

• The stairs down are always reachable. On long runs, an unlucky sarcophagus or urn could very rarely block the way to the stairs and end your progress. Every stairs room is now checked against your hero's real size: blockers get cleared, or the stairs move to a spot you can reach.
• Safety net when you enter a depth: the check runs when a stairs room is built and again when your party walks in – a blocked staircase gets fixed before it can trap you.
• Emergency descent as a last resort: if your whole party has spent a while in the stairs room and the stairs still can't be reached, a way down opens nearby ("A way down opened nearby"). It never lets you skip anything – it only kicks in where you could already go down.
• Event altars no longer spawn on top of the stairs, so holding Interact always takes you down.

Improvements

• Calm arrival: the first room of every new depth – and the entrance hall at the start of a run – no longer contains enemy groups, ambushes, mimics or traps at the foot of the stairs.
• Grace period: right after you arrive, enemies from neighbouring rooms ignore you for up to 10 seconds (until you leave the room or attack). Works for every player in co-op.

Co-op

• Gold is shared. Whenever anyone picks up gold, it's split evenly between everyone still in the run – including friends who are downed or waiting to respawn. Players who already extracted or left get no share, and leftover coins go to whoever picked them up. No gold is created or lost, everyone sees their own share pop up (e.g. "+25"). Solo runs are unchanged.
• Version check when joining: you can only join a host on exactly the same game version. Lobbies on other versions are greyed out ("Other version"), and Steam invites to a different version show a clear message instead of a broken session.
• Players on 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 can't play together – make sure everyone has updated (restart Steam if the update doesn't show up).
