This small hotfix contains several smaller bugfixes and some audio changes to hopefully narrow down the reported issues.
We are working hard to solve any remaining issues.
It would help us a lot if you could provide us with some more info. If possible, please share at least some of the following info when encountering issues:
Player logs. These can be found at C:\Users\< your username here > \AppData\LocalLow\Gamious\Lake\Player.log You can also use Windows Key + R and enter %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Gamious\Lake\ Easiest way to share is via either pastebin , filebin or a similar website. Alternatively you can upload the file somewhere and provide us with a link to download. Third option is to email us via info@gamious.com
DxDiag info (especially the Audio section). You can get this info by using Windows Key + R and enter "DxDiag" in the box that appears. We're most interested in the audio tab(s). You can export all information as a text file or send us screenshots. Any additional info you can provide about your audio setup would also help.
Do you have any other (relevant) software running at the same time? Any info you can think of would help us narrow down and reproduce the issue.
Again, thank you all for playing and reporting issues!
Season's Greetings is out now!
Christmas came early this year! Grab a nice cup of cocoa and your favorite blanket, and jump right into the winter wonderland of Providence Oaks today!
In Season’s Greetings, a prequel DLC to Lake, you’ll be transported back to beautiful Providence Oaks during the snowy waning days of 1985. Step into the shoes of Thomas Weiss, almost-retired postal worker and father to Lake’s protagonist Meredith. Delivering the mail is only half the story, as Thomas meets and helps out both old friends and new arrivals. How happy will their holidays be? Can everyone in Providence Oaks end 1985 with a bang? Once again, it’s up to you.
To celebrate the launch of Season's Greetings, Lake will have a 60% discount (starting Wednesday, November 15 at 10 AM PST, ending Tuesday, November 21 at 10 AM PST).
PS: This might get snowed under a bit (badum-tish!), but we have added Steam Cloud Saves to Lake. This allows you to synchronize your saves to another device.
The option should be enabled by default, and can be manually disabled via Properties > General. If you do not have this option, please check that cloud saving is enabled via Steam Settings. If you have any issues please post them in the Bugs section on the Lake Steam discussion board.
Season's Greetings on November 15!
Lake - Season's Greetings has a release date! November 15 is the day when you can start delivering mail in our snow-covered little laketown. Check out our new trailer to get in the holiday season mood!
Lake DLC 'Season's Greetings' coming this holiday season!
We're super happy to announce 'Season's Greetings', in which we return to our cozy little laketown Providence Oaks!
You might wonder how Lake's story could continue with all the different endings it offered. Well, we were wondering the same, and that's why Season's Greetings is not a sequel, but a prequel!
It's December 23, 1985, eight months before Meredith returns to Providence Oaks. You take on the role of her father, Thomas, and will be delivering the mail like he's been doing for years. We don't want to spoil too much, but what we can say is:
It's the final days of the year, so expect Holiday Season happenings!
P.O. will be covered in a blanket of snow, and cheered up with lots of Christmas lighting.
Meet new characters, but you'll of course also see lots of familiar faces.
Nancy will be complaining.
Frank might be betting on sports.
Mildred could need your help.
Maureen will definitely yell to the kitchen.
And Jack's playlist will also have Christmas tunes! But it might still be a bit short. ;)
We hope you share our excitement, and make sure to check back here for updates. We will share more details about the game in the coming months, so stay tuned and wishlist Season's Greetings here!
[Update 1.0.10.1] Stuck in transit
This is a small patch that includes a few minor changes. After this update we will nog longer support Windows 8, as Microsoft has also ended support for it on January 10, 2023
Changes:
Credits update. Added missing entries and fixed scrolling issue.
Crash in main menu fixed. This was an issue that happened on most Windows 8 and 8.1 devices. A few clever users have solved this on their own by removing or renaming the file. We have now implemented a fix for this so you no longer have to tinker with the files to get the game running.
Windows 8 no longer supported. The game will still be playable on Windows 8, but we will no longer offer support for Windows 8 specific issues.
Fixed a localisation issue where English text would be displayed when another language is selected.
We're still looking for a solution to the pesky audio bug.
As always, if you encounter any bugs or issues, please create a post in the Bugs/Known Issues section of the forums. For more info, please see this post.
Thank you for playing Lake!
[Update 1.0.10] International post
Changes:
Added languages: Italian & Hungarian.
Added controls rebinding.
Many bugfixes and optimizations.
If you find any issues, please report them in the appropriate section of the community forums.
The Big Adventure Event - Lake
We're happy to be a part of The Big Adventure Event! To welcome adventure gamers to the world of Lake, we've captured a no-commentary playthrough of the first four days in good old Providence Oaks.
Lake Plushies!
Dear mail carriers! We're happy to share the news that Lake now has its own plushies! Together with Makeship, we've created one of Meredith and one of the mail truck (Goose for friends).
They're available for a limited time only, so head over to the Makeship campaign site and let them be delivered as mail, instead of them delivering the mail!
A Steam Award for Lake?
Lake lovers, listen up!
The Steam Awards 2021 have kicked off, and the coming weeks will decide which games will get nonimated. It won't actually be the weeks that decide the nominations, but the players! So, if you feel that Lake should have a chance to win the 'Sit Back and Relax' Award, we'd be very happy if you took the time to nominate us.
