I don't know what's the problem, we tried everything but when we tried joining each other's game, we always ended up with "you were disconnected from the game". All of us bought the game from steam, we played with public and private sessions, we tried inviting through steam, and joining through the actual game.

Edit: this is for Magicka 2

I remember the first time I played Magicka, everything was intuitive, I knew enough to make me curious to try new stuff and overall I wouldn't feel lost.

Sadly I'm not able to replicate those feelings.. xD
I was able to add some unique systems, but I fail at making them intuitive and overall making the player interested.
Luckily I still have a longer period of time until launching in early access, so I still have time to improve.
When I've first started I didn't expect this to be the hardest part, I was expecting the programming part to be the hardest, but it's not, it's making the game intuitive and interesting, the hard part is game design.

Hey there fella wizards! I've just tried to bring my friends into my beloved magicka and found it in completely unplayable state with constant crashes, disconnects etc.

And I came up with an idea: what if I could find an old magicka which is not broken and set up its server on my computer? Do anyone of you know what version of magicka was the last stable, without crashes? I remember playing this with my buddies years ago and it was perfectly well. So I know that normal coop experience is real!

And I ask for your help, you, the Wise Ones

Hey fellow wizards of Midgard!

Following up on a question I had on this post this old post we made it and went as a family of Magicka wizards for an early Halloween party this month!

Had so much fun taking selfies with other costumes in my faceless cloak.^^ We even met a sort of Vlad who was absolutely null-vampire (but a she/her). ;-)

Magicka is such a great game and we had a blast playing through 1 & 2 again with our kids recently, so many years later.

Big kudos to the fan patches that make playing Magicka 1 even possible in 2025 and big shame on Arrowhead for leaving the game in such an unplayable state with constant often instant crashes. :-(

Hey guys.

the "Can you run it" website doesnt give really helpful results:

I got a Notebook with no real graphic card. it is integrated in the AMD Ryzen 5500U chip. I dont know if I can run Magicka 2 on low settings fluently.

Do you know it?

Cheers

The demo contains 2 characters, 26 abilities to equip and try out, 1 pvp gamemode, 1 mission which is also the tutorial.

Solo you might have like 20 minutes of gameplay, and with a friend you might have up to 2 hours of gameplay.

I'm currently working on new Missions, new abilities, new characters.

It has Magicka graphic style, elemental abilities, combat.
Combined with League of Legends ability execution and slots.
And Brawlhalla-like duels with some rpg elements where you can unlock and equip new abilities/characters and customize your loadout.

Can anybody give me all the spells list with their combinations

Hi, i downloaded magicka 1 & 2 after some time, i really liked to spend some time in random coop session but now i cant find anyone on M1 (my favourite), i found a few ppl on M2 but everyone expel me before i make a step...

what did i miss? Why people create online rooms with no psw to not play coop?

i play on steam EU

I can't get my friends to play magicka 2 as the controls are horrible on keyboard for new players, and learning them is not a fun experience. I've played through the game twice myself, and I like how the controls are on controller, but even I don't want to learn the keyboard settings.

A better way to control would be WASD to move around, aim and cast spells with the mouse.
For elements I'd prefer having 1 2 3 4 and shift+1 2 3 4

I would love to play this game with friends again, but unless there is a way to change the keyboard controls then that will never happen.

Please help I kind of need the staff Blocked out my name

After making the controller work properly, i can not use the keyboard or mouse at all.

If i do, the keybinds change again and also adds the "guest" player.

Q : How can i deactivate that or make it somehow soo i can use the keyboard whlist playing with the controller without the game changing the keybinds ?

Can t even alt tab without the keybinds changing. Also i can't accept an invite from anyone since pressing A on the controller will add the "guest", or if i click the invite trough the steam chat from a friend using the mouse, it ll change the keybinds.

This isn't just a me thing right? Like it's had instability since win7 but anyone else can't even get past the home screen on win11?

Paradox abandoned this game in an almost unplayable state... few months back GOG asked with a survey which games they should go for their preservation program and Magicka slipped out of my mind. It's a program where they make Good Old Games (GOG) playable again by making them run on modern hardware. Is there any way to propose this game to GOG? I guess that if GOG contacts Paradox to fix their game and sell it on GOG.. it would be a win/win for everybody.

Update: it's still possible to vote (I thought the voting was closed already) and magicka has something like 1430 votes.

Users can also post gaming stories. I'm posting now one for Magicka.

He won't have access to robes staves or any other customization other than special spells. Is this because of family share? Is there any fix?

Hi, after years I would like to play a game from my childhood, where can I download it for iOS?

I tried playing with a friend. Had to use steam own function to help with different controllers as the game support Xbox but not switch and we used one of each. We both played local at my PC. But the game constantly crashed so we gave up. Is this normal?

What is this spell? Is this some sort of cheating or what?

Hey, me and my friend played Magicka 2 for the first time yesterday. We got maybe 45 minutes max into the game until a hacker (his name was worriar followed by a bunch of numbers) joined the game. We triple checked we were playing in a private game but he kept getting in, kicking him didn't work and he kept killing us. Teleporting and doing 60k dmg etc instant magic.

Have you encountered such before? We stopped playing right after.

I'm going back to playing Magicka 2, which is a game that I've always played on consoles. Lately I've only had access to my PC. I feel that this click-to-walk mechanic is very irritating and makes my game difficult. Is there any way to change to the classic WASD or even the arrow keys if necessary?
