Is age of wonders 4 abandoneware?

[Mohreb]

I am asking if this game is still in developement, or completly abandoned as for now?
I reported an issue in 2023 for the pantheon disapearing, and it still didn't got fixed so was wondering. Not a correction (it just happened again) but not even a way to get around the issue (if it is impossible to solve i mean, i can understand but some feedback would be helpful if someone still develops this title)

We are getting a DLC in both Q2 and Q3. Both of these DLC are highly likely to be accompanied by a big update to the entire game (as all previous DLCs were).

We also know the devs have ideas for a 3rd season of DLC.

So no, it is far from abandonware. It might seem that way because we're in between DLCs at the moment. I expect to start hearing from the devs again in march.

I see the devs responding to your issue twice (talking about feedback).
They also said it is not something they can fix, because you or your system probably did something that the game cannot deal with properly.

I suggest looking at the tips from the devs and start from there, instead of proposing the game is abandonware, which is easily debunked looking at the steampage.

Yes indeed, AND the tips did not solve the issue,
Aparently they didn't fixed it since (or at least gave a workaround). As it happened, again today.
I gave all the details, empire files included, to help the investigation. Nothing. So if i choose a "somewhat" provocative title it is so that at least they finally look into it, instead of giving "around" solutions as
"The root problem would be that something either isn't syncing properly with the Steam Cloud/Steam Remote Folder or that something is interfering with read/write actions possibly a AV system?"
And no i am not the only user experiencing this problem (and even if i were, i payed the same amount as any others to get the same bug-free product).
So at least a work around (how to disable pantheon-induced-blocking) to not wipe it for the 4th time would be welcome.
And i get it, softwere maintenance isn't an easy work. sometimes it is hard to reproduce a problem. that is why i gave all the info i could. But working also on software i can't imagine a user accepting the response "on my end it works" (for that particular one, i don't know if Mourioche is or is not a dev, so i guess it is not to be taken as official response ...)

Devs respond in a blue bordered response. This happened twice.
Good luck with your issue.
