Elders K.O. Update 1.0.5370 Adds Public Lobbies, How-To-Play Guide, and Graphics API Options

The 11 August update to Elders K.O. (1.0.5370) covers a wider surface than most single patches, reaching from the initial loading screen down to how ammo lands in a player's inventory.

What changed

• Performance: The initial loading screen is described as quicker and lighter.
• Graphics API options: Vulkan and DirectX 12 launch options are now enabled on Steam. Vulkan remains the recommended path; DirectX 12 is offered as a fallback for those with compatibility issues.
• How To Play book: A dedicated guidance resource is now accessible from the main menu and lobby.
• Public lobby list: Players can now browse and join public lobbies directly.
• Battle of Bellies map removed: One map was cut from the Battle of Bellies mode for being too large, though it remains available in other minigames.
• Full armor bundle card: A single card that grants four armor pieces has been added.
• Ammo as purchasable cards: Ammo can now appear among cards available for purchase.
• Ammo inventory routing: Ammo now routes to inventory slots rather than the hotbar — the patch note flags that 16% of players had never opened the inventory at all.
• Small fixes, plus undisclosed groundwork for future updates.

Taken together, the patch lowers friction for new players through the How-To-Play addition and public lobby list, while the inventory and ammo changes suggest the developer is nudging players toward systems they were quietly ignoring.
