Horingar: Darkside 1.2.0 Fixes Mana System, Adds Linux Test Build

Developer XforU_Dev has released Update 1.2.0 for Horingar: Darkside, pairing a batch of bug fixes with a notable infrastructure expansion: a native Linux build is now available for private testing.

Linux Test Build

The Linux version is currently held at Patch 1.1.0 while it undergoes separate testing. The developer reports stable performance on an Ubuntu virtual machine but has not yet tested it on Steam Deck. Players with a Linux system or Steam Deck can access the build through Steam's beta opt-in system using the private code linuxtesting. The developer states the build will be updated to the latest patch and added to the store page once testing concludes.

What Changed in 1.2.0

  • Fixed Denver's Gallery Scene 3, which was not working correctly
  • Fixed a Torch collision issue in the camp
  • Fixed Mana regeneration for Nature Weapons
  • Changed Mana regeneration from a flat value to a percentage-based system
  • Resolved several additional minor bugs

The shift from flat to percentage-based Mana regeneration is the most mechanically significant change here, as it affects scaling across different character or equipment states rather than applying a single fixed number. Players using Nature Weapons in particular should notice the correction now that their regeneration functions as intended.

For most players on Windows, the fixes are available immediately; Linux players willing to help test should expect a build one patch behind the current state.

Horingar: Darkside 1.2.0 Fixes Core Bugs and Launches Linux Test Build

Developer XforU_Dev has published Update 1.2.0 for Horingar: Darkside, pairing a set of bug fixes with the quiet arrival of a native Linux build now open for community testing.

What changed

Linux build (currently on Patch 1.1.0):

  • A native Linux version is available via a private beta branch, accessed through Steam's Game Versions & Betas panel using the code linuxtesting
  • Testing has been conducted on an Ubuntu virtual machine; Steam Deck compatibility has not yet been verified
  • The developer intends to run the Linux build through additional testing days before adding it to the store page officially, at which point it will be brought up to the latest patch

Bug fixes in 1.2.0:

  • Denver's Gallery Scene 3 has been corrected
  • Torch collision in the camp has been fixed
  • Nature Weapons' Mana regeneration has been fixed
  • Mana regeneration logic has been reworked from a flat amount to a percentage-based system
  • Several additional minor bugs and issues have been resolved

The shift to percentage-based Mana regeneration is the one mechanical change here with broader balance implications — players using Nature Weapons in particular will want to note how their sustain feels under the new formula.
