Patch 1.05.1

Hello drafters,

We have released Patch 1.05.1 today on Steam. This is a hotfix for an issue that was introduced that was preventing some players from progressing.

Full details of the hotfix contain spoilers:

Fixed a conflict interfering with the intended functionality of the remote power box (red door) permanently staying open. This hotfix has corrected this issue and this door should remain open for all subsequent days.

This hotfix is now live on Steam and console players should see this early next week.

Patch 1.05

[p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40356052/d09c183989ec231d85856d97d2d5fa3031f8e113.jpg"][/p][p]Hello drafters,
[/p][p]We have released patch 1.05 this afternoon for Steam players. This patch addresses a number of issues reported by the community.

Save Corruption & Loading Freeze Fixes
[/p][p]We've identified and addressed several edge cases that were causing save file corruption, resulting in a loading freeze when accessing the main menu. Unfortunately, if your save file was affected by these issues, we are sorry to say that means it is corrupted and irretrievable despite our best efforts to find a way to restore it.
[/p][p]This update also includes multiple fixes aimed at preventing these corruption cases from occurring in the future. Several code checks have been added to reduce the chance of corruption including redundant checking of the validity of the save before writing it. Additionally, we’ve implemented an automatic backup system: if the primary save becomes corrupted or lost, a backup save will now load instead.

If you are PS Plus user whose save file has been affected by this, we have had a few encouraging reports from users who were able to restore a backup of their save file via Playstaion Plus cloud storage. To restore from cloud on PS5 follow these steps:
[/p][p]1. Go to Settings > Saved Data and Game/App Settings.[/p][p]2. Select Saved Data (PS5).[/p][p]3. Choose Download or Delete from Cloud Storage.[/p][p]4. Select the game and then the specific save file you want to restore.[/p][p]5. Choose Download.

We are also currently implementing an “IMPORT TROPHY DATA” feature to work with platform achievements that had been previously earned in previous save files (even if they don’t exist in any of your current save files.) This feature will be included in an upcoming patch.

FURTHER CHANGES IN THIS PATCH LISTED BELOW:[/p]
  • [p]Fixed a bug occurring when consecutive Parlor boxes were opened too quickly.[/p][p][/p]
  • [p]Fixed an input recognition issue on keyboard where \[Right Arrow] and \[A] were incorrectly interpreted as CONFIRM in certain cases.[/p][p][/p]
  • [p]Corrected some minor magnification issues and inconsistencies in font usage in the following locations - Library, \Master Bedroom\, \Vault. \
    [/p]
  • [p]Unified all instances of ‘Mary Matthew’ to a consistent spelling. (One instance had a typo.)
    [/p]
[p]LATE GAME SPOILERS BELOW[/p]
  • [p]\You can now reset rarity changes that you have made to your floorplans. The method is explained in the Conservatory menu as floorplan rarity can only be reset in the Conservatory).\[/p][p][/p]
  • [p]\The doors powered by remote power boxes are now opened by button press instead of unlocking automatically. These doors will remain permanently unlocked after being opened.\[/p][p][/p]
  • [p]\A trunk in the Treasure Trove incorrectly displaying the moon symbol has been changed to the sun symbol. (A blue memo was incorrectly being labeled as false.\[/p]
[p][/p][p]We also have corrected a few oversights and bugs in the room drafting logic. Below are listed a few of the resulting technical corrections that may be of interest.
[/p]
  • [p]\Master Bedroom will no longer erroneously appear in places other than the East Wing (Rank 9 related bug)\
    [/p]
  • [p]\Fixed a narrow bug permitting Foundation to be added to the draft pool after repellent use before 7 days had transpired.\[/p][p][/p]
  • [p]\Foundation will no longer be drawn with as much frequency on Ranks 2 and 3\
    [/p]
  • [p]\An oversight in outer room drafting logic has been corrected concerning day one and outer room rarities have been slightly flattened across the board.\[/p]

Patch 1.04.6



Hello drafters,

We have released a patch this afternoon to hotfix a a few issues caused by the introduction of the “hold to skip” cinematic feature in our update last Thursday:

  • Fixed a bug introduced by our latest “hold to skip” update that would sometimes remove the Step Count UI if a player briefly pressed escape/back button during a cinematic but did not actually skip it.
  • Fixed a bug causing players to fall out of bounds, if they skipped a certain cinematic SAFE H _ _ _ _ ) during a narrow window of timing during that cinematic (around 2.5 seconds after the cinematic started playing.) Now, you can now freely skip this cinematic at any time.
  • This one is a bit more spoiling: Fixed an issue that was causing Antechamber Lever pulls to be occasionally off-sync in a certain monk related situation. Players who encountered this bug may have interpreted it as the levers not working, but they were merely functioning backwards. Antechamber levers in this situation will once again work as expected now.

This update is live on Steam now. Xbox and PS5 players should expect to see this update in a day or two.

Patch 1.04.5



Hello drafters,

We have released a patch this afternoon to resolve some issues that the community have been experiencing. The patch is now live on Steam and we expect Xbox and PlayStation players to see this before the weekend. As always, the changelog below includes some spoilers.

PlayStation 5 Save Rollback Issue


This patch also includes a fix for the PS5 Save Rollback Issue that was preventing players from progressing their explorations of Mount Holly.

This issue was caused by a duplication of save data causing new save information to time out and not be saved. This problem has now been addressed and players should have no issues progressing and saving the game past the point where the bug was initially encountered.

We have worked tirelessly with Sony to avoid any save files being lost once the game patches.However, content that was not saved during the Rollback Issue has unfortunately been lost. Players should be able to return to Mount Holly at the point where they encountered the bug.

Patch 1.04.5 Changelog:



  • Fixed the rollback bug that was interfering with saving the game on PlayStation for some users
  • Fixed a bug occasionally preventing players from entering the highest rank due to a rogue collider.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause you to lose steps when investigating the east sealed antechamber door while in a gymnasium.
  • Fixed a potential collider softlock that could occur after digging up treasure in the Cloister.
  • Fixed a potential collider softlock that could occur after digging up treasure in the Closet.
  • The experiment “Gain 1 Key, 1 Gem or 1 Gold (selected at random)” has been changed to “Gain 1 Key, 1 Gem, or 1 Die (selected at random)”
  • Unified all instances of "Christoph" to a consistent spelling.
  • Typo fixed in Glossary entry for “Directory”.


LATE GAME SPOILER CHANGELOG BELOW - Read at own risk



  • Boat Ride cinematics can now be once again skipped (this had been disabled because of a soft lock that has also now been fixed.)
  • Lever pull cinematics can now be skipped.
  • Added additional safety checks to address reported soft locks some users reported encountering in the Casino.
  • The 7-letter title in the Gallery now accepts an overlooked regional spelling as a valid solution
  • Boudoir Safe now accepts one alternate regional solution.
  • Safes now remain open on subsequent days after unlocking them.
  • A bug has been fixed in Maid’s Chamber and Servant’s Quarter that would occasionally cause payroll to not spawn.
  • A bug has been fixed in an upgraded guest bedroom that was causing a one-time trigger to occur multiple times.


EVEN DEEPER SPOILER CHANGELOG BELOW



  • Edited the wording of “Question 33” to provide more clarity. The solution remains unchanged.
  • Cleaned up the mathematical symbols of “Question 46” to provide more clarity. The solution remains unchanged.
  • Unified Date formatting in terminal logs for consistency.
  • Repositioned a (Blue Tents) memo in a ‘found floorplan’ to fix a bug causing it to occasionally not appear. (no content change)
  • The experiment that “lowers water” will now be replaced with an experiment variation that “raises water” if there is not currently any water to lower.
  • The experiment “Each time you view your map, lose 10 steps and then” has been changed to “The next 10 times you view your map, lose 10 steps and then”
  • The experiment “Gain 1 Key for every 40 steps you have” has been changed to “Gain 1 Key for every 30 steps you have”
  • The experiment “Gain 1 Key, 1 Gem or 1 Gold (selected at random)” has been changed to “Gain 1 Key, 1 Gem, or 1 Die (selected at random)”
  • On Day One, the trunk in the bedroom will no longer only appear after the first draft.


We would also like to add that we are currently working on a feature to use the Blackbridge Terminal’s “IMPORT TROPHY DATA” feature to work with platform achievements that have been previously earned (even if they don’t exist in any of your current save files.) We expect this feature to be completed soon and will be included in an upcoming patch, thank you for your patience.

The Path to 1.10



It had always been my dream to release a definitive version of the game at launch. I’m a big fan of complete standalone experiences and it was never my plan to continually tinker with the game with regular content updates, room rebalancing, or DLC and the like. Considering this is my first game, I’m extremely proud of everything I managed to include for launch, but there are a few minor things that were not quite completed before our release date that I feel must be added to fulfill that original vision

Those inclusions will be added in 1.10, which will be the final major update to the game. It will be the definitive version of the game.

Among the planned inclusions in this final update: an overhyped arcade game, a curious house cat, accessibility features like color assist mode, controls remapping, cursor size/opacity settings, and widescreen support. Some UI/UX improvements, more variations for end-of-day manor descriptions and accompanying house illustrations, HUD display customization, final room/item balancing, and the addition of a handful of extra cinematics that I am still working on (the unlockable challenge modes actually have their own unique openings and endings!)


NOTE: We will continue to release bug-fixing patches intermittently in the months leading up to 1.10 and some of these updates may preemptively roll out some of the above-mentioned features (we wouldn’t want to sit on accessibility features for months on end while we wait on cinematics!) And while 1.10 will be the last planned content update, we will, of course, continually be committed to fixing bugs for far, far into the future.

This patch is live now on Steam and will roll out to Xbox and PlayStation players before the weekend.

PlayStation 5 Save Rollback Issue



We are aware of the PS5 save rollback issues that many players have reported and the team are working directly with Sony on this as a matter of priority and we hope to have an update soon.

We apologize for the amount of time this is taking to fix, anything affecting saves is very sensitive and so we need to allow enough time for thorough testing.

If you are impacted by this issue please submit a ticket to our support desk: https://rawfury.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1 including your PSN ID and the size of your save file to help the team narrow in on a fix.

We thank you for your patience while we work on this issue.

As soon as we have an update about the PS5 save rollback issue we will make an announcement to let everyone know.

Patch 1.03



Hello,

We have released a patch this afternoon to address the save file issue that some players were reporting. This patch will be rolling out to Steam as you're reading this, and is planned to roll out to Xbox/Gamepass/Win 10 and Playstation platforms before the weekend.

The changelog below contains spoilers.


  • Fixed SAVE FILE bug that caused some user’s save files to roll back several days to an older, prior save state. This bug was caused by our internal save backup system which has now been disabled.

  • Temporarily disabled the Main Menu credits from auto-playing on idle as this was causing issues when players would click “continue” within a few frames of the credits starting.

  • Fixed some typos.



LATE GAME SPOILERS BELOW :



  • Fixed a bug involving the resetting of the position of a giant gear from day to day that had a small potential to lock players from accessing an area.


We want to thank you for bringing this issue to our attention and your patience whilst we investigated and worked towards a solution.

Patch 1.02



Hello!

Our second patch is now available on Steam so please make sure to update your clients. Playstation and Microsoft players can expect the same patch to arrive next week, delayed slightly by the weekend interrupting the necessary testing and certification protocols.

Be advised, the following notes contain spoilers so browse at your own peril:


  • Added redundant video files of our cinematics compatible with more Steam Decks. This is the fix responsible for the increase in the game’s file size.
  • Fixed camera lock that occurred while reaccessing the lab machine on subsequent days after activating it / solving it.
  • Misc. typo and text format fixes.
  • Fixed major bug causing rarity and directory data to be read from previously accessed save files. This bug would cause rarity changes to inadvertently carry over between save files. This bug also potentially caused some uncommon and rare rooms to appear less frequently than they should have for some players.




LATE GAME SPOILER


  • Fixed softlock that occurred while accessing the blueprint menu or systems menu while SPOILER traveling by boat

  • Fixed hardlock that occurred while attempting to unlock a locked door found outside of the house with a basement key.

  • Fixed bug that would rarely cause only one item to appear in the TOOLSHED.

  • In a special room added by the drafting studio, C_s__o , the use of Coin Purse had been prevented. However, due to a bug, one machine was still able to exploit the use of this item. We are sorry to report this has been fixed and Coin Purse no longer works while playing games in this room.



Once again we'd like to extend our sincere gratitude for the wealth of feedback we've received from the community. We cannot thank you enough for shining light on Blue Prince and supporting us in the critical launch window of our game.

We hope you have a great weekend in Mt.Holly.

Patch 1.01



Hello drafters,

  • Temporarily disabled options to Backup, Restore, or Duplicate Save Files while we investigate reported issues.
  • Fixed system issue causing some players to be unable to unlock a safe in SPOILER: SHELTER
