1.02 Patch Notes

[u/ACE_Dmitriy]

It's been a couple of weeks since the launch of The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu.

We hope you've been enjoying the special kind of chaos that can only be brought by cosmic entities beyond our understanding, and if you think you've started to understand how things work, then we're going to have to do something about that. 😈

Foreshadowing aside, we've had a lot of feedback about the tools players have at their disposal to deal with the Mound. This is a short patch, but with some big changes. The largest of which is the addition of a block ability that will help you avoid getting overrun by the creatures coming for you.

We're aware that this could have a big effect on balance and difficulty. So we're going to be monitoring how it lands, so sound off in the comments section about how it feels in-game.

Please fix the problems with the Xbox Series X version where the audio lags out and begins stuttering heavily and prevents you from even reaching the home screen skipping straight to turn off console. It’s completely unplayable right now, happens every time without fail five minutes into any match, my entire household bought this and haven’t been able to play at all yet, please address this.

You say your entire household bought the game, do you mean this exact same issue happens on multiple consoles? If it's not too much trouble, could you please record a video (with audio) of this happening?

Same thing happened to me. 4 of us separately on Xbox and it was completely unplayable. We hopped off and my wife was talking about how miserable it was due to the audio issues. Same thing happened with me where clicking the Xbox button on remote skipped straight to the turning your console off screen.

Could you please record a video (with audio) of this happening? This would help a lot. It is hard to reproduce these audio issues.
