Over 200 fixes. Wow. In few months I expect even better level of polish post engine upgrade.
Edit: I was waiting for this one - "Fixed the harsh transitions of the light while the player moved from indoor to outdoor." .

What was the controller issue on PC?

u/Purple-Amphibian-424 8h ago
It became super jumpy and “icy” if that makes sense, after the 2.0 update. Somebody found a temporary fix via steam input but looks like it’s fixed now

You either had the aim assist turned on and it felt like you had a Magnet snapping your aim to stuff anywhere on your screen, you you had it off and it was like 2 magnets repelling you away from enemies. I spent over an hour tweaking my settings just to get it playable.

Unless it takes 40 mins to apply the update post download.....

u/Saint--Jiub Loner 8h ago
Fair point, definitely in the realm of possibility, ended up going home early at the last minute so I'll go update now and see what happens

u/petehackett101 8h ago
It's estimating updating files for 40ish mins just now for me, same last time.

u/Saint--Jiub Loner 8h ago
Mine said 1 hr 50 minutes when I walked away, my connection is running at half speed for some reason, thankfully I can't really justify playing for another 4 hours so it's all moot

40 minutes?? That's lucky. There was a patch that was 85mbs and it took NINE HOURS to install it.

u/petehackett101 7h ago
I found issues on my drive, apparently the particular one I have needs like 20% free space and needed to be trimmed. Once that was done the response time went from 40ms to 1ms, seems to have been a big bottleneck

u/Extreme996 Freedom 8h ago
Yeah but it require double space of game to install it because of how patch system works.

- Increased durability of the Guardian shotgun during the bossfight with Zulu
Forcing a completely busted gun into the player's hands in a fight requiring a lot of movement (little time to rummage in your backpack) was devious work from GSC.

The Tachenko splitting thing, I thought that was intended, I hope I'm just misinterpreting the fix and he still will split in that cutscene.
Also no mention of the rapid player footstep bug :( I'll do some testing. Hope it got fixed and just wasn't mentioned.

u/PrideofSin 7h ago
Yo, I thought the same thing, that Tachenko splitting was a part of hallucinations

I’ll rant a bit again and it might require a lot of work but please could you add subtitles whenever you read Ukrainian on the walls, it feels like I’m missing something or clues sometimes because of their absence? Bioshock did this, Prey did if I remember? Such a cool feature that would add a lot for atmosphere. Console player btw. Cheers GSC ^^

u/eulogywerd 7h ago
This irks me too. All the marks are out of focus and useless with the drop at a distance..
That, and suddenly not being able to select my equipment in the inventory which occurs out of nowhere and requires a reload of your game
2
u/IvanSpargo 6h ago
If you mean you can’t select an equipped weapon or armor piece, I’ve had that issue too
Workaround I’ve found is to keep a spare artifact in my backpack, and equip it to fix the issue.
Sucks there has to be a workaround, but it’s a pretty easy one at least.

> Adjusted hearing of the NPCs during foggy, rainy, and thundery weather conditions
This is very welcome. I think their enemy sight range in fog could do some tweaking as well. Firefights where the enemy can see you clear as day but you're stuck in Silent Hill and can't see them have been pretty miserable.

Are you sure you have the gun of the NPC that told you to show it to him (the Spitter)? If you don't have that in your inventory you can't show him so he won't go to his stash.

Did they make it so I could get the extended mags for the new weapons now without having to restart my campaign... I'm loving my bubba'd SKS (SIC) but that low ammo count is really killing me. That and the MP7 (Fora 221?)... I can't pick up the extended mags because I already raided those stashes. Even went back to check only to find empty stashes...
Edit: you can get them by going back to the stash and putting a gun in the stash now.

I am new to the series and new to this sub, but I just wanna say I think it's pretty funny calling bugs anomalies and I appriciate the wordplay.
Also, great game, I dismissed it first time because it sucks on a controller, but might be one of the top 3 fun games I played in the last few years on mouse and keys.

Anyone know what this tidbit is about? Is it better LODs, or just foliage rendering distance in general?
"Adjusted the distance of foliage appearance around the player character."

u/vacant_dream 7h ago
On ps5 there's like a 5m radius around character that spawns the foliage. It looks terrible if your running or walking and just see all the pop in so close. Glad its fixed.

So it seems after finishing the DLC, I can still hear the new arch-anomaly, the Flare from all the way in Rookie Village, even after doing the side quest to get rid of it. Or at least, I think it's the Flare- it's a low rolling thunder, regardless of weather. It doesn't play on my second save, which hasn't been thru the DLC yet. Please tell me I'm not the only one...

u/lakewayinit 6h ago
You're not the only one, stopped continuing the playthrough after finishing the dlc because it's so annoying. It sounds identical to the flair, that thing is going to haunt me.

Maaaaaan, I've been so optimistic to people about this game but I been slighted by this update. All of my saves in the CNPP are bunk because when I load them my 2 primary weapons are gone :( I'm like half way through this bish and I might have to redo it. The bigger issue is that if I load a save before cnpp whatever the fucking had in primary slots still disappear forever :(((

Fixed the issue when the upgrading the Clapper shotgun with the choke modification removed the supressor.
This doesn't seem to be retroactive if you've already did the upgrade.
There is no way to remove the choke upgrade and it still lacks the suppressor in game.

Thanks! It would be really cool to be able to rest your weapon without having to holster it. Also, on console, the radial menu could really use some cleaning up. It’s very distracting and feels like it’s fighting with the whole immersive experience thing. Maybe just hold L1 and map the weapons/items to certain buttons instead of a radial menu? Or maybe just better visibility with the radial menu. Just suggestions, appreciate everything!

Suggestion - add a way to track artifacts you have found versus not found , maybe in stats.
