Escape Room: The Sick Colleague

Hotfix for shadows
Hi all,
The last update broke the shadows in the game so one puzzle was not solvable :(
(I know the crew of Babylon 5 would love for the shadows to stay away but hey...)
I fixed the issue and also made some performance improvements.
Sorry for the inconvenience!

All achievements now unlockable


Hi all,

There is still no estimate on when the first room will be playable again. I had hoped for a quicker solution but it is what it is. Sorry :(

Meanwhile, as a few of you have justifiably pointed out, it is not possible to get 100% on the achievements when half of them are locked away in the first room.
So today's update adds a new button with which you can unlock all achievements for the first room. You still have to work for the ones in the second room but now it is possible to 100% the game.



To those of you who were able to play the room at the beginning and earned their achievements honorably: you have my respect and I ask kindly that you don't feel offended by that decision and understand why it had to be made.

Thank you for your support and happy completing ;)

Translation work
- rest of Portuguese translation
- some fixes and additions in other translations

A few improvements
Hi everyone, the update to v2.2 contains the following:

- new: autosave after each puzzle unlock, you can choose between your manual and the auto save when loading (so they are two separate savegames)

- new: 8 players per room allowed (not sure if it is stable, let me know! Take care of your toes!)

- new: first batch of Portuguese translation (thanks to Marina Herrmann)

- new: 100% leaderboard for speedrunners of room 2 (Barbara's secret), you have to solve every puzzle, the order is not important. You can check the state by pressing F1, when there is no hint left you can leave

- fixed loading with missing savegame

- fixed duplicate resolutions in settings

- fixed shadow opacity, so it won't make it impossible to read things

- fixed the hugeness of the shoe (just a little bit :D)

Fix for first door
- in some cases the door would not open for every player in multiplayer mode, which should now work

Achievement fix!
Some achievements weren't unlocked after restarting the game, this should be fixed now :)

Logging for achievements and hints
- better logging for achievements, if you are still having trouble unlocking certain achievements please send me your log file. it is called "output.log" and can be found here: C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Bitbeast Games\Escape Room - The Sick Colleague
You can send it on the Discord or in the Steam forums or send an email to info@bitbeast-games.com
Thanks! :)

- more robust hint system, now showing less hints for already solved puzzles

- changed the placement of some objects so you won't get stuck or the meaning of them becomes clearer

Fix for Spanish subtitles
- subtitles are now played correctly in Spanish

Achievement fixes
Some of you had problems with achievements not unlocking. This may be caused if the connection to Steam is not stable or if Steam is in offline mode. So I made a change that every achievement you get is "remembered" and in case it can't be sent to Steam, the game will try again at the next start of the game. You can now view the state of your achievements in the game under the stats in the main menu



Also, one special achievement should now be easier to get. ;)

Spanish and Italian translation
- Spanish translation completed (thanks to SilverNox!)
- Italian translation enhanced (thanks to Luca Cassinelli)
