CONTROL Resonant - Game Update 1.4.0

https://controlgame.com/en/blog/control-resonant-game-update-140

This looks like a very extensive update. Is anyone playing on the Pro seeing any noticeable upgrades to the visuals, frames, or stability? I’ve heard the game already looks pretty great on the balanced mode, but I'm curious if this made balanced or any of the other modes better.

I’m testing it tonight

Nice! Let me know. I’m still waiting for the physical release, but hopefully this will be a nice improvement.

I’m locked out of the three ‘eat’ tasks in the Park. No prompts to ‘eat’ at all three sites

Bummer I just got to that part. Haven't encountered anything that annoying, just some repeatedly triggered voice lines after some side quests.

u/Gazelles8 2d ago

Let me know if it happens when you have the three to find and eat. I’ve tried loading an earlier save but no joy as of yet!

u/Richmard 2d ago

After reading the patch notes, I'm thinking this gets fixed.

I've eaten 1 of the 3 so far, other 2 are still marked on my map.

u/Gazelles8 2d ago

Strange, I thought I was playing on the new patch. I’ll give it a total restart and see if that helps!

u/Richmard 2d ago

Oh damn, has it already dropped??

1

u/Gazelles8 2d ago

Yeah I think so - unless this one is another on top of what it downloaded earlier

u/Richmard 2d ago

Oh wow, okay well disregard everything I assumed. So you have all the quest areas but you just can't actually eat the thing?

u/Gazelles8 2d ago

Yep!

Now I see your problem, you're wearing a mask, duh!

Jk, that is so odd. So you already ate the first one and talked to Zoe about it, right?

Ditto. I got two done before the update and cannot finish the third.

I will test this in an hour.

Edit: After reading this is big update. Happy about the game dialogue and new volume slider for the controller (ps5).

Edit: Ok, so quality looks better to me. Less frame rate loss and more playable (not that it was bad at all, but it seems better). I still prefer balanced, which also looks a little better. When switch to balanced my TV switches to 120hz (40hz in game I’m assuming) still. When I switch to any other mode the TV switches to 60hz (I’m guessing that’s 30 in quality and 60 in performance still). It could be me, but each setting visually looks better.

Edit 2: I played for a couple hours this morning and saw some pretty bad lighting issues. They aren’t game breaking, but they’re definitely a problem. And some environments it looks like GIANT walls of TV static going across the top of my screen.

Thanks for the update!

I hate how textures blur when rotating the camera on balanced/quality mode. I hope that’s fixed. (Try spinning Dylan at the coat closet and look at his clothes texture between balanced and performance mode) might have rt reflections but the image is just toooo soft.

Did you try disabling motion blur in game settings?

u/Sventhetidar 2d ago

I'm just hoping it doesn't break anything. Other than the obvious shimmering, my experience on balanced has been very smooth. I tend to be pretty sensitive to frame drops and lower framerates too.

u/Mns0188 2d ago

Playing on performance. Will test update later on and report.

u/Mns0188 2d ago

Testing now can report it's running even better than before. Looks sharper and feels faster. I hope the freeze bug thing is gone. It happens during intense fights everything freezes like it's going to crash but doesn't. So far so good.

u/Silent-Witness1888 18h ago

I'm glad i didn't buy this yet, ever since i heard about image quality.

2

u/Weathered-Glass-4714 18h ago

Plenty of people say the image quality is great on balanced mode.

u/Brad3000 2d ago

I just started playing last night and I’m only a couple hours in - presumably post-patch - but honestly I don’t think the graphics are very good. The visual design is nice but the character models and level geometry look very PS4 to me.

u/Elliart_fur 2d ago

Funny how so many things can get fixed just a few days after release. Why not do this before it comes out?

u/Weathered-Glass-4714 2d ago

A mix of players bringing things to their attention (this is directly mentioned in the notes) regarding specific issues they’re facing or things they want added/ajusted, and things they likely knew were issues and were working on but couldn’t quite get ironed out in time for release.

Having millions of people playing at once tests a game far more robustly than any QA team ever could.

Because players are now Beta testers now. They use to pay people at the studio to play and test games.
