Coming Bug Fixes and Updates

BARK · published 2 Oct 2022, 03:07 UTC

I wanted to provide an update regarding the known issues with BARK and what you can expect in the coming updates.

  • Chapter 4 checkpoints not working (garage door trigger did not work and first radio broadcast plays despite having completed that segment already). This is also often followed by your owner being unable to open the door to the garage. This checkpoint currently requires a restart of the chapter.
  • Your owner will occasionally get stuck in doorways while searching for you. This will sometimes result in him de-spawning. Know that this is not intended, and whenever your owner searches for you, he is intended to eventually return to one of two rooms and close the door behind him.
  • If a dog in the neighborhood is too far away but is trying to start a chase, the chase music will start despite not actually chasing you.
  • The game occasionally crashes (most often during Chapter 5 (the backyard chapter)) for unknown reasons. This has only happened to some players with a variety of hardware, so I have so far been unable to find probable cause.
  • Various functions and solutions to objectives are not clear. More hints will be added to better explain what can be done during these circumstances.

As far as I am currently aware, this is the extent of remaining issues. These fixes will be made intermittently as I work towards the (currently unannounced) DLC. If the file-size for the game increases any significant amount during these updates, it is due to the DLC content that is being added to the game.

Thank you all for your continued support and understanding while I work through the post-release beast that is BARK!
