Watch on YouTube

NEW

• Safe Landing - Level 1 visuals have been reworked to take less space, be less noticeable, and simplified:
• Safe Landing - Level 2 visuals have been reworked to allow a larger preview monitor. Now a simple, lightweight square. It’s possible that it now feels too big? We’ll see. In the future you’ll be able to disable it (but not yet, please use it and test it 🙂):
• Scanner - From Scanner Upgrade Level 2, distance to the detected items will now be displayed!
• Chapter 1 - More backtracking allowed – only affects NG+: After getting the Taser, then entering Lockdown room, the Relocations which prevented some amount of backtracking now allow to go back to nearly the Taser pickup area, to grab Curiosities / Recordings on the roofs or play the Bonus Room with the Taser. This is now allowed. To check for new bugs with this now-legal backtracking 😉

CHANGES

• Chapter 1 - Various changes to first Power Core Slot area to avoid hard-to-provoke softlock 17023803181460 and other variants. Some Relocation changes: now relocates inside 3600 after it's been entered once, instead of in front of the Power Core Slot.
• Chapter 1 - Cubic Cauldron entrance to Many Mines Room has changed, shouldn’t be able to perform bug 429842663099747 anymore. The exit of this room has changed too!
• Chapter 2 - The checkpoint before the Heads-up lift will now save even if the player skips without deploying the Bridge.
• Chapter 2 - Fixed Imminent Termination bypassing when dropping down the first room. Worst case scenario, you'll now get a Relocation instead.
• Chapter 2 - “Do names exist for you?” dialog has been removed. Will be slightly different later on PC and removed for technical reasons.
• Keypads - Keypad buttons will now react instantly when left mouse button is pressed down (instead of On Click). Same as Room Control Terminals, now more reactive for Speedrunners. Could potentially break minigame buttons with keyboard/gamepad – please test these too 😉.
• UI Navigation - Pressing any keyboard key no longer switches UI navigation from Mouse to Keyboard. Only Arrow Keys, TAB, and SHIFT+TAB will do this. May break navigation in some pages – keep an eye on it 😉.
• Quick Save & Relocations - Entering a Relocation while a Quick Save is being written now cancels the save and shows Quick Save Cancelled. Previously only worked on first frame – now reliable, fixing bug 1628818152340.
• Quick Save / Quick Load - Anti-spam delay reduced by half, still present to prevent spam abuse.
• Screenshot Mode - No longer requires holding the key! Now uses SHIFT + F7 by default. If remapped, SHIFT is no longer required. Warning Notification and 2s delay now only show once per Save Reset. Shortcut is disabled in DEBUG mode.
• Achievements - Shoot 20 Mines → Shoot 20 different Mines, Explode 50 Mines → Explode 50 different Mines. Prevents Quick Load farming. New unique Mines destroyed/shot stats added to the Statistics page.

BUGFIXES

• Bug Reporting - Fixed various edge cases in which the game could break when requesting to report a bug during pause transitions. The game no longer allows reporting bugs during these transitions.
• Calibration - Brightness and other calibration settings were not correctly applied to Cutscenes in some cases. Should now be working properly.
• Water - There were still cases in which LOW quality water appeared washed-out / gray / white instead of the intended blue-ish color. Should now be fully fixed and LOW quality water should look correct.
• Chapter 1 - Fixed Relocation loop softlock if player skips the door that closes in front of them in the red room with saws (before the first Bridge outside), then explores that room again after going outside (by Dodging back inside from below).
• Chapter 1 - Fixed Relocation loop softlock if player shoots the Platforms button that helps reaching the Taser, after having already picked up the Taser and backtracked from the Lockdown room.
• Chapter 2 - If you explore the roof of the first room (even though it’s not fully supported yet), while the Smasher is active, it will no longer appear to go through the ceiling, as it’s now aligned with a hole in the ceiling.
• Pre-Alpha / Demo - When automatically returning to Main Menu (CH1 end in Demo, or CH4 in Pre-Alpha), it is no longer possible to Pause the game during the final fade-out.
  This is to prevent various possible exploits, and is intended.
  Does not affect other Chapter transitions (intended).
• Reset Save - If you used Reset Save and didn’t restart the game before launching a New Game, some Statistics page entries could be incorrectly loaded from the previous save state instead of being reset. This is now fixed.
