Patch 1.3.2 is now live!

Hey everyone!

Thank you for your patience as we worked through all of your feedback and bug reports over the past few weeks 🙏 Following a short beta period we have now rolled out patch 1.3.2 which should address over 60 issues including the softlocks that have been frustrating players since launch.

IMPORTANT: During the beta period we were made aware of two instances of persisting softlocks in 1.3.2:

Issue 1: Sometimes the main cemetery (tomb dials) puzzle does not trigger correctly after it is completed.

Solution: Ensure that you save in the Cemetery Office immediately after entering the cemetery area for the first time. If you encounter the softlock issue reloading the Cemetery Office save should clear the bug.

Issue 2: In rare instances, fuse items placed in the School Generator Room or held in the players inventory in v1.2 are disappearing in v1.3.2. We are investigating why this is happening.

Solution: For some players collecting the fuse items from the fuse box and saving in v1.2 before switching over to v1.3.2 resolves the issue.

As an extra precaution we are keeping the v1.2 of the game live on a separate public beta branch so that players can revert to this version if need be. You can access the branch as follows:

1. Right click on the Tormented Souls 2 app in your Steam library.

2. Select ‘properties’.

3. Select ‘betas’ from the left-hand menu.

4. Click on the ‘beta participation’ dropdown and select ‘rollback_1.2.0'

5. Select ‘installed files’ from the left-hand menu and click ‘verify integrity of game files’.
