We have a brand new patch for you and it's a big one! This last patch really demanded quite a bit more attention than we had planned. But let's get right to it:
- NEW FEATURE: we implemented a minimalistic game mode that allows you to turn off all ingame commentary of your spirit companion. This way you can fully concentrate on the visuals and figure out what exactly happened all by yourself. This feature can be toggled on and off at any time during the game, so we urge everyone to try it out!
- A lot of fixes: we've been combing through all your reports of crashes or other bugs and managed to fix a whole bunch of them! If you experienced a crash that stopped you from getting through the game, please try it again after this patch!
- Controls: invert vertical AND horizontal. Finally!
- Controls: hummingbirds now have a way faster default speed (without dashing)
- Performance improvements: a lot of areas should run smoother on older systems and loading hitches should be reduced
- New language: we added Turkish language support
- Fixed some typos and missing translations for various languages
NOTE for Windows 7 users:
since Microsoft dropped support for Windows 7 a while ago, we cannot build the game with the necessary Win 7 redistributables anymore. Unfortunately this means that (at this point) you cannot benefit from new patches anymore. We are still working on this and are trying to figure out if there is something we can do, but until then we added a new branch to the Lost Ember depot to allow you to play the latest version before this patch. To access this branch, just right-click Lost Ember in your Steam library, go to Properties -> Betas and choose "windows7" from the dropdown list.
And as I always: please continue to report any bugs or issues you have with the new version either here as a comment or in a new thread in the forums.
Have a great weekend and stay healthy,
your moonies! :)
