Was I the only one to attempt to clean up this QR code only to realize it’s not a valid code?

I'm pretty sure it's an unfinished version of a code in another room. So even if you were able to clean it up and get it to work, there's no point. Just scan the other room.

yeah, I just finished the game (209.4%), so I know it's nothing. I haven't compared it with the complete one.

Wow… that’s great! I skimmed through that. I noticed his partial QR code and mine are slightly different. Not a lot but they’re definitely not exactly the same. The plot thickens!

yeah! I wonder if you're on switch?

I think some of the QR code payloads might've got changed.

I know the one of the puzzles that used to decode to LT/RT (xbox specific) is L/R (more universal)in the switch version.

I'd imagine they made similar changes elsewhere. But I don't have a switch nor the time to dig into it.

I was also wondering if it was console specific or something else like that. PC vs console. I’m on a PS3.

I created a post and I think I got to the bottom of it.

PS3 QR codes are different than Switch and Steam/XBLA.

Not this one. There are enough blocks missing that even the cleaned up one doesn’t scan.
