Nightingale was eagerly anticipated prior to its wide release into Early Access, but it has stumbled a little since then, with server connectivity issues and numerous bugs. Even still, the developers remain committed to polishing the game to its best build before a final 1.0 release.
This Nightingale update for March 19, 2024 will occur during the server maintenance period, and brings with it a host of bug fixes, gameplay tweaks, and basic QoL improvements.
The complete patch notes are below.
