Dungeon Settlers — Patch 4.17

Dungeon Settlers update 4.17 introduces a Portrait Lock option for recruiting expedition members, allowing players to retain a candidate’s appearance when recruiting again. The new Mute in Background feature automatically mutes the game when the window is inactive and is enabled by default. The Explosion skill has been reworked to remove damage scaling with Burning stacks, now consistently applying Burning stacks and featuring a reduced casting time. Various bug fixes address issues with recruitment confirmation, NPC hostility, animations, and tutorial notifications, alongside improvements to save compatibility warnings and localization corrections. Additionally, the update includes minor UI enhancements, such as updated control information in the Inventory guide and a new Guard Captain sprite.
