Excellent to see that steps were taken in response to some feedback and constructive criticism that was shared in the period following EotE's release. Looking forward to seeing how some of these changes have improved the experience first-hand!

Will there be Outer Wilds 2? Thx for updates tho

I am like 99.99% sure they said the DLC is the last thing they create for this game.
That being said, I seriously hope there is an Outer Wilds 2, or something very similar.

how do I de-apply this update because the level design changes are absolutely unwanted and infuriating. the courtyard is completely fucked and nothing makes sense anymore. I used those boulders for cover and now there fucking nothing, plus I have no idea what's going on with the building's design; ALL the rewards of playing the level over and over again to develop a sense of strategy and navigational efficiency (something VERY important in a time-loop setup with limited time) have been ripped away from me. Put the levels back the way they were please. I have a learning disability and trying to revisit everything has been an exercise in frustration; why the fuck did I bother getting good at those levels if my reward for attempting to revisit them is just a kick in the dick? I feel ripped off for the time I invested making sense of the levels and actually getting good at playing them.

the reason they changed it is because thats not the way youre supposed to do that section, if anything you should be mad that it wasnt clear enough in the previous version. the dlc had a problem with accidental sequence breaking so theyre fixing it, its up to you to take the hint.

PS4 PRO player here. I noticed a very specific bug regarding a DLC related ending. When I go for the "true" ending, the game freezes shortly after the credits roll, and I have to close the game. Just dropping this here to give it attention, I've tried five times but the game crashes each time.

Eric

Same for me on the PS5. Crashes every time after the credits fade to black.

I see that you mention input issues and I really hope this refers to the xbox problem where it is impossible to leave the menus. I have been unable to play this game since late October and was hoping the bug would be acknowledged. Unfortunately for me, my time spent waiting on a fix from you all left me unable to get a refund from Microsoft. So please have fun with the $29.99 plus tax that I received nothing for. Happy holidays to all!

Likewise here, bought the game a month ago after my mates were raving about it. Haven't been able to use the B button anywhere in the game. Fingers crossed this gets fixed soon.

1/8/2022 05:58:51 pm

Agree, this is a really game-destroying bug when the B button somehow gets turned off - making many in-game actions literally impossible with the xbox controller. I think I accidentally changed the controls, and cannot find a way to revert them to allow using the game - even after uninstalling and starting over with a new mission.

If you have a keyboard, you can use 'q' to perform the same action - but is quite a frustrating workaround. Please fix this, Mobius!

Hey I just tried beating the main game (after finishind the dlc), and when I got to the ending with the “14.3 billion years later”, the screen fades to black and freezes, never showing the ending card. I did this twice and it happened both times. Just letting y’all know so it can get fixed.

PS4: finally finished game. Credits rolled. Script about “billions of years…” then stuck black screen.

Those "Added visuals to lend sense of finality to Echoes of the Eye end sequence" were quite heartbreaking...

It'd be good to have a spoiler-version of this update list, so fans know what you're talking about! :)

Also, the "added visuals to lend sense of finality" was still a bit subtle for me, especially in the dark. Maybe it would help to turn on all the candles (instead of turning them off) in that area as that ending happens...? Add an extra specular layer to the 'visuals' (like there's a bit of water in them) to make them stand out in candle light? Or, as the final vision ends, the camera angle is pointed directly at the 'visuals'.

As is, as you come out up the steps, your eye is drawn to the green light emitting from the Vision Torch, and not necessarily the new "visuals". I think it's still easy to miss them.

It's still completely unplayable on Xbox because there is no mapped back button. You can't get out of the chair in the ship, and you can't navigate the control settings to apply a back button because you need a back button to be able to. I'm sorry, but I feel like this should be a pretty high priority thing to get fixed, and it obviously isn't so I will be requesting a refund from Microsoft and leaving a negative review in the Microsoft store on Xbox until it gets fixed

I really really hope to see a fix for the B button bug on Xbox soon... paid full price for the game even though I have gamepass. Makes the game unplayable for me and I'm sure many others.... fix this soon please please.

Still no fix for the B button not working on Xbox. The game is unplayable. Can’t leave the chair. Can’t leave the menu. Just bought the DLC and can’t use it. What’s up here??
