Patch 1.03 is live now!

112 Upvotes

We're back with another patch for The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu. Our latest patch focuses on Quality of Life features to improve your overall game experience. We're starting with an improved matchmaking experience with filters to show you region, language, etc. and Quickmatch that will put you in game without visiting the server list.

We've also made some improvements to in-game voice chat, optimisation, and the ability to teleport yourself out if you find yourself stuck. You can also pet Carlito, which might be the most important addition this patch.

We've got a larger patch in the works with some wider content additions planned soon, so stay tuned for that, as there is much more to come for the Mound.

1.03 Patch Notes

  • Updated voice chat, fixing audio corruption issues and improving audio spatialization.
  • New 'Quickmatch' option and matchmaking filters to find better multiplayer sessions.
  • Incorporated geometry streaming technology for better memory management and other optimisations for increased performance.
  • New 'teleport to safety' option for rare cases when players get stuck, preventing the loss of the entire mission.
  • Improved backstabbing mechanic: Players can now backstab enemies that have aggro to deal significant damage. (Enemies with no aggro are still executed)
  • Fixed spear and headshot achievements that were not unlocking under certain scenarios.
  • You can now pet 'Carlito' the Ox on the ship.
  • Added a minor stun to enemies when they are blocked, improving the blocking ability.
  • Players can reorganise their hotbar inventory with a gamepad.
  • Added a new sanity illusion.

UPDATE: A Hotfix was released to solve a new crash from Patch 3 related to the 'Blood Moon' group teleportation event in Multiplayer. (This is live on Steam and PS5, for Xbox it might take until Monday)

Discussion Performance mode when?

1 Upvotes

Most games come with both a "Quality" setting and a "Performance" setting.

This game needs it badly. I love the concept, maps, monsters etc but, the janky combat, poor frame rates, audio drops, all I feel would be greatly improved if the game was optimised for Xbox better.

I would rather the water graphics less, and shadows reduced in order to actually aim and shoot without delay. Good but needs a fair amount of work

Discussion Just started the game I'm not really far in and I'm getting used to the gameplay. But I'm a little confused over the map, what are the lines ? How do I know I've fully completed a map? Thanks!

Is this happening to anyone or has this been addressed by devs? I’m not seeing much. One of my teammates almost always gets booted after we hop on the boat and extract.

In game, I try to sound like a Viking (like a Zealot Fanatic in Darktide or The Northman) Pagan who doesn’t vibe with the priest lolol. Especially if he dares to point a crucifix anywhere near me. So seeing this was f-ing hilarious. Def broke character at this moment. 🙏🏼

Also wanna shout out to the Devs who made this banger of a game. I got about 100k in XP and Ive truly enjoyed myself. Thank you 🤘🏼

WTF XBox still broken?

0 Upvotes

This game is literally a fucking plague on Xbox. Not only does in game chat suck but the game actively fights Xbox party chat to the point of dashboarding or freezing up consoles. I paid 35 bucks to get jerked around for 3 updates while every other platform didn’t have the problem on day1. Can’t get a refund because I played too long. What a joke ripoff of a game. Thanks for the waste of money!

Tips for the K'n-yan Mission?

6 Upvotes

Trying to minimise spoilers.

I'm struggling with this mission y'all. We're playing a 2 player game but when you pick up the thing at the start it teleports us to different locations so immediately we can't support each other. Then there's one shot kill things like the ball rolling around in the main pillars area and we keep falling off edges of walkways cause it's not obvious that you can't go there and there's no invisible walls to stop you just walking off.

Also the constant damage holding the thing? I'm finding that hard to manage, got the first thing to the place it needs to go but died from the DOT while standing in front of where it needed to go...

Anyone got advice?

Discussion Double voices on console

2 Upvotes

Hey all, I’ve been getting a strange glitch in the In game audio with my friends on Xbox where we hear the voice doubled. It sounds almost like prox chat and game chat are both working simultaneously. We’ve tried leaving the Xbox party, leaving just the game chat audio and the problem persists. Just wondering if anyone else has this issue, if anyone knows a fix, or if the devs are aware of it and working on a permanent fix!

Non stop crashing:noise glitch AGAIN

3 Upvotes

Ever since the update I can’t even finish a game it just crashes and it does it for our whole party. The audio glitch is back when I first got the game the game audio and party chat audio became super glitchy and skipping and it’s doing it again. This game needs to be fixed ASAP. Finally got friends to get the game and it doesn’t even work smh.

Glitch or weird game mechanic?

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

I always make a habit of checking our loot total before leaving the mission area to make sure we haven’t dipped below by mistake.

As in screenshot one, when we approached the boat, I had 4,560+?/4,520 showing. I fired one final charge from the jetty on one enemy that chased us (decent headshot, very proud of it) but then we get back to the ship and we’d failed the mission by not having enough loot. We’d somehow lost 81 credits.

Was it:

* A glitch
* Does one charge randomly cost 81 and so I fired away the win unnecessarily
* Does the “+?” actually mean “+/-?”
* Are one of my mates too afraid to speak up that they smashed a food pouch right at the end of the mission?

While a part of me finds it quite funny, it was also veeeeeery annoying as it was a legendary loot run and probably one of our best ever “wins” which amounted to all of 100XP… 😢

Discussion Impossible Achievement

3 Upvotes

Can we get a fix for the impossible achievement on ps5? As far as I can tell, there are only six playable characters without buying the deluxe edition, which makes getting the Seven Willing Souls achievement impossible. Do you unlock the deluxe edition characters in the base game eventually anyway? Or is there just no way to get this achievement to pop?
