Where to find your version number in Blade and Sorcery

Open Blade and Sorcery and look at the main menu screen. In the bottom right corner, you will see a version number displayed — it looks like "v12.0" or similar, depending on which release you have installed. This is the quickest way to check what you are running right now.

If you do not see a version number on the main menu, the game may not have fully loaded. Close the process and restart it. The version appears automatically once the menu is ready.

Key Takeaways

  • Your version number appears in the bottom right corner of the main menu screen in Blade and Sorcery.
  • Steam shows your installed version in the game properties panel under the "Local Files" tab.
  • The game folder itself contains a version file you can open with any text editor if the menu display fails.
  • Knowing your version matters because mods and custom maps often require a specific version or newer to work correctly.

Checking your version through Steam

If you own Blade and Sorcery on Steam, you can see your version without launching the game. Right-click the game in your Steam library and select "Properties". Click the "Local Files" tab, then "Browse". Look for a file called "version.txt" or check the game folder name — some versions are labeled in the folder structure itself.

Steam also shows update history for the game. In the same Properties window, scroll down to see when the last update was installed. This tells you whether your copy is current or outdated, though it does not always show the exact version number.

Finding the version file on your computer

You can locate the version information directly in the game files. Navigate to where Blade and Sorcery is installed on your hard drive. On Windows, this is usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Blade and Sorcery or wherever you installed Steam.

Inside the game folder, look for a file named "version.txt" or "build.txt". Open it with Notepad or any text editor — it contains only the version number. If these files do not exist, the version is usually embedded in a configuration file inside a subfolder labeled "Data" or "Resources".

Why your version number matters

Blade and Sorcery receives regular updates that add features, fix bugs, and change how the game works. Mods and custom maps are built for specific versions. If your installed version is older than what a mod requires, the mod will not work correctly — it may crash the game, cause glitches, or straightforward refuse to load.

Knowing your version also helps you decide whether to update. Some players stay on older versions because they prefer how the game played before a particular change, or because a favorite mod has not been updated yet. Checking your version first lets you make that choice deliberately instead of discovering it after an unwanted update.

Updating to the latest version

If you own the game on Steam, updates happen automatically by default. Steam will read and install new versions in the background or prompt you to restart the game when an update is ready. You can disable automatic updates in the game properties if you want to control when updates happen.

If you own Blade and Sorcery through another platform or as a standalone purchase, check the developer's website or launcher for update options. The process varies depending on where you bought the game.

What to do if your version is too old for a mod

If you find that a mod you want requires a newer version than you have, you have two options: update the game, or find a mod built for your current version. Check the mod's description page — it usually lists which versions it supports. Some mod creators maintain versions for older game releases, while others only support the latest version.

Before updating, back up any mods or custom content you have created or downloaded. Updates sometimes change how mods are stored or loaded, and older mods may not work after an update. Saving your files first means you can restore them if something breaks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I downgrade to an older version of Blade and Sorcery?

Steam does not provide an straightforward way to downgrade games. You would need to use third-party tools or manually restore files from a backup, which is complicated and not officially supported. Most players stay on the current version or wait for mods to be updated instead.

Why does my version number look different from what other players show?

Blade and Sorcery uses different version numbering for different platforms. The Steam version, VR versions, and standalone versions may have different numbers even if they were released around the same time. Check which platform you own the game on to compare correctly.

Does the version number change when I install a mod?

No. Mods do not change your game version number. The version stays the same whether you have zero mods or fifty mods installed. The version only changes when the game itself receives an update from the developer.

What if the version number does not appear on my main menu?

Try restarting the game — sometimes the menu does not fully render on the first load. If it still does not appear, check the version.txt file in the game folder instead. You can also verify your version through Steam properties without launching the game.
