Patch 1.02 Advance Notice

[Oddworld Admin]

Hi Oddworld fans.

We are, as we've said, committed to ensuring that players of Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty have the best possible experience, and we fully plan to support the game and its players post-launch.

As such, our second patch (version 1.02) is now in active development and should, on release, address the following:

--------------------------------------------------

1.02 / A / In-game cut-scene issues

The in-game cut-scenes are showing issues with some PC configurations, and they run slower than the intended rate on others. We hope the fixes we're putting in place address these issues, resulting in smoother playback of the cut-scenes as intended.

1.02 / B / Ability to switch off various graphical effects

We're looking at implementing toggles for the bloom, lens effects, glow and AA in the game. Partly to address user feedback and partly to improve performance to some degree for certain PC spec configurations.

In addition, the issue with the 'shadows' slider not working as expected will be fixed.

1.02 / C / Controller remapping

We're looking into the simplest way to grant players the ability to remap buttons on their controllers in the next patch.

We hope that this ability will go some way to alleviating some of the issues with certain controllers not functioning the way we'd expect them to in-game. We'll have news on the specific implementation of this as the patch nears release.

1.02 / D / Meat grinder issues at higher frame rates

We're looking to address complaints that the meat grinders were running too fast at frame-rates higher than 60 FPS.

1.02 / E / Leaderboard fixes

Some leaderboards are reversed and some are incorrectly reporting completion times as 00:00. We'll fix those issues.

1.02 / F / Xbox 360 controller screen shows incorrect buttons

The game start screen that shows if the player has a controller connected incorrectly displays the functions of the four main face buttons. This will also be fixed.

--------------------------------------------------

These fixes follow the 1.01 patch released just after launch, which addressed and fixed several controller-related issues, including adding a deadzone slider and support for several Logitech controller devices. In addition,

We'll have details on the exact release date and contents of the 1.02 patch in due course - please consider this list our absolute best intentions, but without specific promises.

Thanks for your patience.

Wow Oddworld, you've really outdone yourself with this update. I think this will fix all the problems I had with the game.

[Red_Man]

Yay! More control on graphics.

[Oddworld Admin]

Please note we don't yet have a date for the release of this patch. We'll update when we do, but in the meantime we wanted to let everyone know what we (and JAW) were working on.

Thanks.

The patch isn't out yet. But thanks!

[Nonjojålol]

I have to switch on Abe's cleaner suit everytime I launch the game. It would be nice if the option stayed on.

[Zax]

Hmmmm I'm going to love this patch... very much... err... a Munch. (yeah I know I'm bad at this)

[Der_Adler]

Don't forget about broken achievement, please
And thank you very much a legendary comback!

[J.]

thank you! very good support. I hope you will be reward by you job and able to make exoddus. (or an editor,it will be fantastic, not for poor mudokons but us)

[Benjamoose]

Apart from the Mudoken idle chatter (which I would love a toggle for too please?), this addresses my main concerns with the game.

Namely; the meat grinders (which are seriously blind luck at the moment, and Alf's Escape was a nightmare because of it), and the lens filter/bloom.

I'd recommend making the toggles separate if possible rather than having a single button for both bloom and lens filter. I tried the game with just the filter off (via a mod) and it looked pretty much fine to me.

Either way thanks for the continued support. Thus far your down-to-earth responses both here, on the site and on the Twitter has made me wish I could work for Oddworld Inhabitants. The only other company that has done that in the past to me is Valve, so nice job!

[Warthog3]

I would also love a toggle for the Mudokon chatter. Other than that the patch sounds fantastic, thank you for the ongoing support :)

[K750i]

I have no problem with New 'n' Tasty but it's really nice for developer to support their game post launch and informing the players of the development. Great job!

[krishunt717]

I Bought the game, Tried to load it, and it wouldn't get passed the first screen that comes up. How do i fix this?

[Q-wer-T]

It's very pleasant to know that community of developers provide actual updates, no doubts. Evenmore, Oddworld realy deserve to be updated whatever it needed, so I also want to say "Thank you", and after repeat that when informed by announcement like this.
Subjectively, but I don't attend any troubles, and first in the gameplay and physic instance. Anyway, keep going, dear developers, more fans will support every your step, every decision and every fix, of cource. Just for notice (also subjectively): any game bugs amazing and humorous, for example this[cloud-4.steamusercontent.com], and this too[cloud-4.steamusercontent.com] (unlucky fall in the pit), and especially scrabs[cloud-2.steamusercontent.com] when I was witnessed of their "endless fall"(beast just shaking and stayed unmove).
Well, something like this. Good luck to greatest Oddworld Inhabitants!

[Zephro]

Yay this is going to be an awesome patch! Thanks so much for responding to the feedback about these things, really appreciated it and I look forward to playing with these changes. Oddworld and JAW you are both an awesome bunch of people, keep rockin' :)
