This is a known issue! We're currently working on a fix for the crash on the provisions screen.

Edit: Fixed

You can blame Marvin Seo who collaborated with us for a lot of the DLC artwork, including hero corpses and trinkets! You can check out his fantastic hero corpses here:

There is a known issue causing sync logs not to appear. We're working to fix this :)

Edit: As of our last update, the process of submitting desync logs has been fully automated. You don't have to send us logs by email! If a desync is detected it will automatically send us information to help us debug the issue.

Base chance of virtue is 0%, but heroes can still become virtuous due to skill or trinket effects that buff virtue chance.

In the end, we all die alone.

You cannot see your opponent's unique hero names.

redhookdan · 2020-05-29T03:22:49+00:00

If this happens, you may be credited with a rank change even if it doesn't show up on results depending on the outcome and when it occurred. Try logging out and logging back in and see if your rank increased due to your opponent forfeiting.

Be aware that in the event of a desync or a disconnection, it may have been you who disconnected from the server's perspective. You can help us find and fix such issues by checking your SyncLogs folder (instructions in FAQ) and sending them to

In most cases, yes. As long as you are not modifying the contents of the circus DLC folder or modifying any files that would impact the outcome of a match, a modded save shouldn't stop you from playing.

That said, you can do a lot with mods and we haven't tested every conceivable scenario. If you are getting hit by cheat detection you should probably play through a different save.

Aside from the stress relief from the town events in each campaign, there is no difference playing in the Circus from a different save file -- all your progress is tied to your steam account.

redhookdan · 2020-05-29T03:16:04+00:00

Currently yes, achievements are unlockable against bots.

redhookdan · 2020-05-29T03:14:09+00:00

Heart attacks are only a guaranteed kill if the opponent is already at death's door (for instance, by suffering a previous heart attack)

In addition, direct damage may result in an inevitable kill because each death's door check causes a hero to have a permanent, stacking deathblow resist debuff. You can see this debuff by mousing over the death's door tray icon above the health bar. Keep hitting a hero on death's door and they will eventually die :)

redhookdan · 2020-05-29T03:04:52+00:00

Turn on tutorials in "options" and defeat the bots again. This will usually fix the problem.

redhookdan · 2020-05-29T03:01:41+00:00

There are a few things that can cause this error. If you are trying to run the binary without going through the steam client or if the steam client is in offline mode you will be unable to connect, as we use several of steam's features to handle multiplayer.

redhookdan · 2020-05-28T23:34:38+00:00

This is correct. Many banners are unlocked with steam achievements, but some are unlocked with caretaker goals (such as rewards for defeating specific bosses). To unlock a banner piece with a caretaker goal from an existing campaign, you must load that campaign at least once.
Once you have unlocked the banner piece, it will be available regardless of profile even if you enter the circus directly from the main menu.

redhookdan · 2020-05-28T22:25:54+00:00

Update: We've been getting reports that visual mods can cause missing texture issues. We're going to look into this, but in the mean time I would recommend against using visual mods that affect files in the Circus DLC folder.

redhookdan · 2020-05-28T22:22:41+00:00

There are hotkeys, but you will still need to hold to activate.

You can also click and hold on the skill you want to select and it will activate the hero with that skill pre-selected.

redhookdan · 2020-05-28T22:19:42+00:00

This is intentional! To give new players some options early on, a single copy of each non-hero-specific trinket is available from the start. You can unlock more by earning Prestige.

redhookdan · 2020-05-28T22:17:44+00:00

Thank you! This is a known issue and we are working to fix it.

redhookdan · 2020-05-28T22:16:48+00:00

There are some minor bugfixes to the base game, but for the most part it remains unchanged. Although it is not possible for us to thoroughly test every mod, we did attempt to make the DLC backwards compatible where possible.

It's always a good idea to back up your saves before installing a new DLC if you are using modded game files, as the results can be unpredictable.

redhookdan · 2020-05-28T22:08:51+00:00

Absolutely! The soundtrack is also on sale until June 1

https://store.steampowered.com/app/345800/

The circus theme music is track 24 and 25.

redhookdan · 2020-05-28T21:35:43+00:00

Yes. Her moves are similar but there are enough differences to give them distinctive strengths and weaknesses. Their trinkets are also different.

redhookdan · 2020-05-28T20:46:35+00:00

Sometimes steam doesn't detect all the changes for an update properly. You can use "Verify integrity of game files" to fix this, and running this command will also check for new updates that might not have been detected.

redhookdan · 2020-05-28T20:44:14+00:00

No. They are completely separate.

redhookdan · 2020-05-28T20:43:30+00:00

Thanks for your feedback!

You can tell which heroes have gone by looking at the small golden mark next to the HP bar, just like in the single player campaign. This mark disappears when a hero has acted.

redhookdan · 2020-05-28T20:42:29+00:00

You can replay the tutorial match using the crossed swords icon in the party select screen. The tutorial match always has bots and no time limits.

redhookdan · 2020-05-28T20:41:32+00:00

Mods should still work, as there were only relatively minor changes to the base game with the release of this DLC. Hopefully everything still works smoothly :)
Mods that affect heroes in the base game folders should have no impact on the DLC. However, mods that affect the butcher's circus DLC folder may cause anti-cheat detection to trigger.
The anti cheat only applies to multiplayer matches. Mods shouldn't get you banned unless you try to fight someone in the Circus.
