DD1 Main Program Repair Toolkit

Last updated: 16 October 2026

This patch package does not contain any program files from Darkest Dungeon 1, and all rights are waived. You may copy and share these files anywhere. Any copyright or legal liability issues are the sole responsibility of the distributor. If you believe this patch infringes upon your rights, please contact me for removal.

[What is this?]A toolkit for fixing four types of bugs in the official 64-bit Darkest Dungeon executable (Darkest.exe). This toolkit contains only patch logic and no game files.

[Fixes]

Crash when settling custom heirloom currency upon returning to town

Ownerless ActorDot crash (triggered when a DoT caster leaves the field + after loading a save)

Teleporting ActorDot crash (residual DoT triggering after teleporting back into combat)

BuffFX stacking crash

[Applicable Scope]Works with both distribution forms of the 64-bit executable:Game directory\_windows\win64\Darkest.exe (Steam online version)Game directory\_windowsnosteam\win64\Darkest.exe (Offline / non-Steam version)

[How to Use]One-click method: Drag Darkest.exe directly onto the patch.bat icon and release.

If everything goes well, it will prompt that the patch is complete.If you wait a few seconds and the window still shows no text response, it means you need to install or update Python 3.15. Update it from here: https://www.python.org/downloads/

Theoretically, it supports future versions. Each time Red Hook releases a new version, you can simply reapply the manual process. However, it's not guaranteed to always work, if the version isn't compatible, please wait for an update. I will also post announcements in a timely manner.

The process automatically backs up the original executable, so if any problems occur, you can manually restore the original file.

Will this be updated? 25688 is no longer the latest version. 25721 is the latest build now. Will it still work?

Deovolente

It still work and may not be updated

Arison

i tried the patch with the ABIGAIL mod and it crashed on me. i know i put it in right but i guess well need to wait for an update for it to work properly.

Deovolente

I don't think the problem was caused by the main program patch. It still works fine.

Deovolente

Abigail class has also been updated, so maybe you can try the new version.

marpeng

I think there's something about jewelry. If you point to an trinket, the game ends.

Chat Pristi

This parch work for Linux or protondb user?

Deovolente

Sorry, I'm not sure if it works on other operating systems

Floquinho Robertosilvaperreira

i know it's a stupid question but, how do i know if i'm using the patch or the original DD, there is any difference to tell if i install correctly?

Deovolente

If you overwrite the file correctly, the window icon changes after the game starts, but it's not very noticeable. I think overwriting the file itself should be a simple and confirmable process though.

KeystoneV

It said media file not found when I open the link

Hello, creator! I’m always looking forward to your new works as a fan. I recently realized that among the Orca (Warlock) class skins, the palette with light armor (instead of the dress) has disappeared. Could you please upload it to Patreon?

Deovolente

The armor has always been packed in ZIP format within the folder. You can find it in the files. Since the armored version was not completed, I never specifically uploaded it.

Do any of your mods require this nowadays? I haven't played in a long time and I see that the game actually has an official 64 bits version now.

Deovolente

In theory, you don't need to install this patch. It doesn't provide new features, only enhances game stability and fixes some issues that might cause game errors.

pmc0502

Am I just missing something. Where do we download the patch. The only file attached is a EXE file. Where do we get the new folders.

Deovolente

There are no additional folders, you just need to follow the instructions in the post and use this file to overwrite the file with the same name in your game directory.

Gilgamesh

With the August 2026 DLC coming up, will this patch receive an update? Considering it is absolutely necessary for the Abigail Class mod.

Deovolente

I'm not sure, since the patch author creates and distributes these things entirely on their own initiative. However, once a new version becomes available, I'll definitely update it.

Hello Cherry

does this still work? i did install it as said and my game does not even start anymore

PhantomFiend

Any ETA on a patch to make it compatible with Fire’s Edge?

PhantomFiend

Same thing. I just use the default Win64 when I downloaded the DLC. I guess we have to wait until an update to Fire’s Edge .

Deovolente

Currently, it no longer works after the DLC update and will need to wait for an update. Before we can create a new version of the patch, we'll also need to wait for a stable version from Red Hook. There are still many issues at the moment, so we don't expect to start working on a modified version of the new main program anytime soon.

Deovolente

We do have plans to make a new version of the corresponding patch, but we'll need to wait for the stable version to be released.

Deovolente

The patch already works correctly, we recommend that all players of the steam version use the patch

Hey, I just wanted to say that I'm really impressed by the quality of all of the things that you guys have created, and I'm super excited at the prospect of your team working to fix some of the other issues that have frustrated DD1 players. Thanks for all your hard work!

Deadlist

I'm so impressed that your team fixed the trinket limit, it actually saved my old save file from crashing from having too many trinkets installed. Thanks for all your hard work!
