Patch Notes: Speed Boost, improves Crystals, Soft-lock fixes and more
We have another update with some major changes, look for it soon!. We''re trying to remain spoiler-free here in this description.
NEW: Speed Boost
There is now an automatic speed boost in certain sections of the game. This should make certain areas much easier to explore. Most notably, the Wedge chapter.
NEW: Improved Crystals
The Crystals found in "The Gateways" can now be dropped in a lot more instances. This should reduce some pain points in this chapter.
FIX: "The Wedge" Soft-Locks and Waypointing
We've fixed a lot of places where you can get stuck with no way back to the center of the world. We also changed behaviors on some camera cut and levers to make it more obvious as to where to go next.
NEW: Chapter Select
A proper chapter select menu has been added. Playing the game normally will now unlock chapters as you get to them. If you have a save game from before we added this, it should automatically unlock ALL of the chapters (even if you haven't gotten to them yet.)
The Chapter Select cheat code is still available: (Controller) Hold D-pad left and tap the left bumper 5 times. (Keyboard) Hold cursor left and tap the left bracket ( [ ) five times.
FIX: Controller Movement Sensitivity
We've fixed the Controller Movement Sensitivity slider so it actually functions as intended. Adjusting it will now change the level of sensitivity on a controller when pushing the stick small amounts.
POSSIBLE FIX: Crashes On Chapter "The Exchange"
We're still testing this one, but we believe we've fixed the crash some people were experiencing in The Exchange when clicking on the owl.
Misc. Bug Fixes
Lots of smaller bug fixes here and there related to art, game play, and overall experience.
Thanks for playing!
Motion Blur, Chapter Select, Bug Fixes, and More
Greetings everyone, and thanks for your support of Maquette. We have a new patch today with a few new features, as well as some fixes. We also wanted to update you on a few other issues we're aware of.
NEW: Option to Disable Motion Blur for Motion Sickness
Today's patch provides an option to turn off motion blur, which we hope will help with motion sickness.
SECRET: Chapter Select
Many of you have asked for a Chapter Select menu once you've finished the game so you can go back and look for achievements, or listen to music and cut-scenes. We're working on putting a proper one in, but until then, here's a secret option to access a Chapter Select menu.
In the Pause Menu:
Controller: press-and-hold the left d-pad, and tap the left bumper (LB / L1) five times.
Keyboard: press-and-hold the left cursor and tap the left bracket ( [ ) five times.
An option for Chapter Select will appear as a top level option in the Pause Menu.
FEATURE: Skipping Cutscenes
Some people have asked if you can skip cutscenes. Well you can! If you want to skip a cutscene, press-and-hold Space Bar (keyboard) or Circle / B (controller).
FIXED: Soft-Locks and Out-Of-Bounds issues
Today's patch also fixes a lot of out-of-world errors and soft-lock issues. We're aware of a few more in The Wedge that we didn't get to, but we hope to have more news for you there in the coming weeks.
FIXED: Achievement Issues
Today's patch also fixed some misc. issues with Achievements triggering. Some of these were for other platforms, but should also provide some
FIXED: Missing Subtitles
We've corrected some missing subtitles throughout the game.
Issues with Chapter "The Exchange"
Some of you have reported issues with a lever not working in The Exchange. For some, resetting the level and starting over can help, but for others it seems consistent. We're investigating this and hope to have more news on it soon. Additionally, some people get a crash in this level after clicking on an object. We're also looking into this one.
Steam Discussions
Our apologies for being absent from the discussions page. Launch week was a bit more crazy than we expected and in the process we dropped the ball there, no excuses. We hope to provide better feedback there in the coming weeks.
Thanks for everyone's patience and support.
