Aliens: Dark Descent - First Major Update

[General Spears]

Dear Weyland-Yutani Shareholders,

First of all, we apologize for the delay in releasing the patch notes. The board of directors had to scrupulously review the report.

The R&D department at Tindalos Interactive has been diligently working on "Building Better Games" with our latest project, Aliens: Dark Descent.

In pursuit of excellence, we're set to roll out our first major patch, meticulously crafted based on community feedback. This patch marks a significant leap in our constant drive to refine, balance, and achieve the perfect gaming organism.

With a mix of enhancements, balancing tweaks, and fixes, expect a more immersive descent into the alien world. This isn't just an update; it's a testament to our commitment to you, our esteemed shareholders.

You'll find the patch notes here

Here’s a reminder of the topics for the general assembly regarding the next patch:

Add the possibility to skip the prologue
Introduce an option to make the campaign deathclock obsolete
Implement an autosave feature when quitting the Otago
And many more…

Please remember that profits should remain our primary consideration for the sake of the project's development. So, keep supporting us by giving the game a thumbs up.

Sincerely,

Romain Clavier
Deputy Administrator,
Weyland-Yutani Corporation

I'm waiting on the second major patch before I continue playing. Has anyone seen a timeframe?

[FCMpex]

I have not seen this fabled patch they are talking about, nor a release date. The build number is still the launch build, namely: 94684

Can anyone from the dev time confirm a timeline?

And yet Cooper's private log is still unattainable. How about fixing that then you can have a pat on the back.

<<<BUG>>> More detail

I couldn't figure out why some troops had a bugged Unbreakable Will and others didn't until I noticed selecting the perk on the first promotion was part of the bug.

It was fixed by today's patch. I finished mission 9 yesterday and I was just about to start mission 10 earlier today when I saw there was an update. So I downloaded and applied the update and then instead of going to start mission 10 I first went back to the orbital station to try and get Cooper's log. It was there, it was flashing yellow and I was able to click it and get the log.

game breaking bug on the 2nd berkley mission. retrieved the chip and voice cues told me to extract, but game had not registered the progress so i am stuck. oh and it STILL WON"T save on rest on the same mission. this is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ honestly can't believe you can release a game with this many bugs.

Every time I get an update for this game I have to reinstall the entire game. It's only this game I have had to do this for. When I press resume even if I restart my computer it immediately goes to paused. I can't update at all but only through reinstalling whole game. .

Any plans to get this steam deck verified?

I'vr stopped playing for now. After a few times where I couldn't interact with anything and the suppressing fire got stuck I gave up.

Fix your game and give us mechanics to combat or slow down the aliens spawns like blowing up their nests with grenade launch or flamethrower.

We have all this heavy ordnance and we can't blow up their nests or collapse their tunnels so they don't mass respawn constantly?

It was good in the beginning but now it's getting to be a chore and the further I go the more bugs I have to contend with.

<<<BUG>>>

Say's it was fixed in patch notes but its not.

Alien deaths while off screen are still mostly "T-Poses". Funny thing is in Alien Fire Team Elite It's the exact same T-pose.

GAME BREAKING BUG - UNABLE TO PROGRESS - STILL NOT FIXED:
Unable to complete first mission (Dead Hills Day 1)

I am still stuck when downloading the sector map on the second floor after revealing the first and second floor. The cut-scene gets stuck with the tutorial pop-up for the ARC.

Ditto. Also, no option to skip tutorial so basically cannot play.

Thank you Devs,patch fixed my lvl2 block at Berkleys Dock. I did experience the graphics glitch that others have mentioned. The teams figures go all starry, shimmering pixels on the figures, this also happened to the whole cave in miners camp after queen fight.Like fighting in the stars,lol. I also experienced a speed up glitch where team and aliens etc seemed to move really fast and there was lag on the mouse cursor,scrolling the map was also super fast with huge lag on mouse cursor, Re-starting the game fixed this issue usually,the speed bug happened in Berkleys dock. Thank you for patch,I am really enjoying this game.

Question!?
Are some content DLC in progress?
I like your game very much, and i think it coult have some multyplayer: maybe: three fireteams who decoterminate an infestet big base, with save zone to establish against randome waves, and every loot on the mape can save and equipt by the fireteam. for three players....
maybe? :D

Can't access terminal in Tantalus Research Station (security camera room). Doors won't unlock and thus I can't progress any further. I've tried the level multiple times. Still same problem.

I have the same problem. I even tried returning to Otago and coming back, but did not help. However such trick helped me to activate the elevator to reach the Tantalus basement.
