In the midst of legal problems, Rune II finally gets an update

The strange trip of Rune II continues to announce that the game finally receives an update. Ragnarok, the game publisher, has had access to the resources needed to bring updates promised to the game.

The game has only been released for a few months, but its short life has already been incredibly bizarre. The day after his release, the developer of the game, Human Head Studios, closed, only for the team to be redeemed by Zenimax, renamed Roundhouse Studios and joins the Bethesda Softworks family. The publishers of the game, Ragnarok, were given the responsibility to support Rune II, but he did not have the necessary resources to do so.

Last month, Ragnarok filed a complaint against Human Head for breach of contract and fraudulent concealment, claiming that the studio had refused to put the source code and the assets to the game at their departure, which prohibited in Ragnarok to provide the updates. day.

But all this event took a small step in the right direction, like Ragnarok announced on its official forums they received a hard drive containing the source code and the resources of the game. They used engineers to make sure that all the necessary assets were on the hard drive, adding:

"Currently, we have set up an environment of generation, testing and transfer. Once we have confirmed that we are able to create a full version of the current version of Rune II (.12L), we will start to work on a hotfix to solve the main critical problems, bugs and optimizations reported in the last and a half months. "

Although it's good news for game fans, it does not mean that legal issues are resolved. This battle is still in progress, Ragnarok seeking to be reimbursed for the development costs of the game and at least $ 100 million in damages.

Despite this, I hope it means that the whole situation is in the right direction. For those who are waiting with impatience Rune II to get big fixes and fixes, the light at the end of the tunnel has become slightly brighter. Now we will have to see if Ragnarok really has everything he needs.
