  • Fixed getting stuck if the player eats any of the collected Icon-Item-CarrantCarrant in Icon-Quest-MainA Nose for Adventure quest
  • Fixed wording of tutorial when being taught "The Poke" attack move. Now it should be more clear that the player is required to tap the sprint button instead of holding it in Icon-Quest-MainThe Ceremony quest

Patch 2[ | ]

Version: 25aa6c04
Released: 2019-10-15
Source: Steam

Fixes[ | ]

  • Fixed Icon-Quest-MainThe Council getting stuck if you've previously solved the puzzle.

  • Fixed Icon-Item-Scouting LensScouting Lens "deploy" tutorial not staying in the Dune's Observatory

  • Reduced the volume and added a break in between loops for the Icon-Species-Affinity-CariblinCariblin village music

Known Issues[ | ]

It is possible to jump out of the Ancient Stables vault (using a mixture) and explore the island without any assets loading in. As a temporary fix we've made sure you can jump back into the Ancient Stables without needing any mixtures. You will be allowed to leave the Ancient Stables after retrieving the Icon-Item-Taming BandsTaming Bands Outfinding and doing the task Icon-Species-Affinity-TambaOth asks of you by the entrance.

Furthermore, we have 21:9 support ready to test, and are doing so here, but also would love input from the ultra widescreen community, so we'll be opening a test branch soon where you can check it out. We are also working on some platforming parts that we got a lot of feedback on, which were too hard to complete or simply annoying.

Until next time, thanks for your patience and help everyone!

Source: Steam
Windows only (and Steam only?)

What changed[ | ]

Most aspect ratios can now be selected in the resolution option under the graphics settings. We have also added a new setting under the Graphics tab, called UI Side Padding where you can indicate how close to the centre of the screen the UI HUD elements will be.

Known issues[ | ]

  • In some instances, streaming (loading the world) seems delayed. This should not impact gameplay too much, but can appear jarring. We are currently looking into optimizing this more and reducing the chances of this happening.
  • In later stages of the game, performance is sub 30 in some areas. We now have a much stronger grip on why this is happening and are looking into these areas to improve these specifically.
