Early October Update: Level Improvements and General Fixes

An update is now live on Steam for Windows, macOS and Linux containing level improvements, and general fixes.

Level Improvements

The jumping puzzle in the Arque car park now doesn't require you to run and jump across at the same time, to make it easier to make it across with a gamepad.

Levels which used tesellated water now instead use a high poly mesh, since this is more performant on low end machines. You can find out more about the technique in the development blog video below:

General Changes

This build also includes a bunch of other fixes to improve the overal gameplay experience:

• Removes use of tessellation in the map Dock and map Ocean levels

• Removes the jumping puzzle from the Arque basement car park

• Playing with a gamepad now results in more damage dealt to enemies

• Improves non-volumetric fog in map Crash for low end devices

• Updates translations for all targets with latest tweaks and fixes

• Improves stream-loading for slower devices: audio is no longer muted

• Adds dedicated "licenses" menu in Extras menu section

• Fixes back controller/keyboard button not working on the Arcade menu

• Fixes the keyboard/controller being able to select disabled menu items

• Changes the translation for "Use Steam Language" to "Use System Language"
