Patch 1.9.0 - New In-Game DLC Achievements, Collectibles, and Pin Rewards

Hello peakbaggers!

This patch brings a few more in-game rewards, collectibles, and a few other things to the DLC, as well as some end-game challenges. There's also been a few adjustments on a couple of maps in the DLC, so be sure to check out the update below and in-game!

Summit Stamp Achievements

• You can now acquire stamps for completing Alpine summits. Each successful summit will award a stamp for completion. A total of 23 stamps can be collected, corresponding to the number of DLC maps.
• These work like regular achievements as well as in-game viewable stamps in your Alpinist's Cabin. They will pop into view once you acquire them.
• If you have already completed a map, you will automatically have the respective stamp.

Sleeve Pins

• New cosmetic sleeve pins have been added. They can be collected by completing new challenges found in the Great Alps. Be sure to check your Map for new collectibles.
• There are a total of 11 new cosmetic sleeve pins to unlock. Once you acquire one, you can display it on your sleeve(s).
• Accomplished mountaineers, and those of keen sight, will be awarded with pins to adorn your tweeds.
• Once a pin has been awarded, you can find them on your Collected Pins board in the Alpinist's Cabin. Here you can adorn them on your sleeves with Left Trigger / Left Click, or view them up with Right Trigger / Right Click.
• These pins will be unlocked permanently, unless you delete the save file and remove their unlocks using the option found in Main Menu > Options > Misc Options > Delete Great Alps Unlocks.

Flora and Fauna

• During your adventure throughout the Great Alps, you can now find elusive collectible Alpine flowers, soaring Great Eagles, and elusive Ghostly Goats appearing through the night.
• Use your acquired mountaineering expertise to find and grab these elusive flowers, as they tend to grow in treacherous locations.
• A keen eye is needed to spot both Great Eagles and Ghostly Goats. These will not appear on your map, so be sure to be on the lookout during your climbs.

Monument of Sundown & Monument of Cruelty

• Monument of Sundown & Monument of Cruelty will now unlock permanently after collecting their respective idols. These monuments are found on specific peaks listed below.
  Permanently unlocking these means that they will also appear in new save files in You Fall You Die and Free Solo if you have unlocked their respective idols at least once.
• As they are used as part of new challenges, they will appear on the following maps:
• Greenhorn's Top, Towering Vísir, Eldris Wall, Mount Mhòrgorm, and Solemn Tempest.
• These monuments will automatically be unlocked if you have collected both the Idol of Sundown and Idol of Cruelty.
• Note: Monuments on Greenhorn's Top are not used for any challenges and are simply in case of self-imposed challenges in Normal Mode, You Fall You Die, and Free Solo.

Option to Delete new Alpine Unlocks: "Delete Great Alps Unlocks"

• Found in Main Menu > Options > Misc Options > Delete Great Alps Unlocks.
• Use to remove any Pin unlocks.
• Use to delete the state of unlocks of Monuments of Sundown and Monuments of Cruelty.
• Use to delete the "seen" state of animals in the Great Alps.
• Note that some pins will unlock automatically at certain points during a save file if you have enough progress in it.

Updates

• Added an option to disable sunshafts / sun glare with a launch option. Running the game at lower resolutions would blow up the sunglare effect. To add this launch option, right-click the game in your Steam Library, go to Properties, add "-nosg" without the quotation marks.
• Restart map hotkey is now defaulted to 'Home'.
• Increased volume stamina regain very slightly after leaving the hold.
• Increased the effect of chalk very slightly while on volumes.
• Drain speed on volumes very slightly nerfed.
• Cracks balance gain nerfed very slightly.
• The goat on the roof of the Alpinist's Cabin will now stay until Dunderhorn has been completed.
• Added a few extra ice spots and holds on Mount Mhorgorm to better accommodate cruelty difficulty.

Old Rekkja

• Added 3 Crux names and a couple extra route tweaks / updates to make the map more balanced.

Tutor's Tower

• Added additional holds and alternate paths to make the map more balanced and less punishing since it's the first DLC map encountered.

Bugfixes

• Fixed a bug where you could infinitely crampon jump with Idol of Feathers active. This would trivialize a bunch of achievements.
• Fixed a few slopes that you could stand on in Ullr's Chasm.
• Fixed a bug with Alpine summits not counting towards peaks summited when in the permadeath cutscene.
• Fixed some mesh issues and removed some invisible holds on Almáttr Dam.
