Dark and Darker adventurers carry a torch, sword, and staff beneath a full moon.

IRONMACE announced Dark and Darker Early Access Hotfix #127 in its Steam announcement, with a new Stash sorting button and a set of stability fixes ahead of the EAS 11 wipe scheduled for October 9. The update also includes server optimization work and several quality-of-life changes. The update follows Hotfix #123’s High Roller and Firedeep changes, which lowered the High Roller entry requirement and added the Emberwing monster to Firedeep.

The new Stash tool does more than tidy one page. It places loose Gold Coins and Arrows into available containers, combines matching stacks, and then sorts the current page by Weapons, Armor, Accessories, Utility, and Miscellaneous. Marketplace listings and item splitting also get quicker text entry, while dismantled Scrap can stack with matching rarity already in the inventory.

Stability work covers crashes during launch, frame stuttering, and Voice Chat disconnects between floors or during post-death spectating. Several dungeon issues are also addressed, including climbable walls in Forgotten Castle – Ruins, blocked Dwarves in The Goblin Cave – Firedeep, and misplaced or broken objects in The Blue Maelstrom. The full notes are below.

Game Updates

Midnight Stag, Root Goblin, and Flame Butterfly are now immune to the effects of Taming Shot.
Added a Sort button to the Stash. Clicking the button will first place individual Gold Coins and Arrows into Gold Containers or Quivers with available space, then combine stacks of the same item, and finally sort the current page in the following order: Weapons, Armor, Accessories, Utility, and Miscellaneous.
Improved Scrap obtained by dismantling items in the Workshop so that it can now stack with items of the same rarity already in the inventory.
Improved the Marketplace so that the sale price input field is automatically activated when selecting an item to sell, allowing you to enter the price immediately.
Improved the item split quantity window so that the number input field is automatically activated when the window opens, allowing numbers to be entered immediately.
